RegenVest (Goodra-Hisui) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Dragon Tail
- Earthquake / Flamethrower / Knock Off
- Thunderbolt / Draco Meteor / Ice Beam
[SET COMMENTS]
Hisuian Goodra is a robust defensive Pokemon capable of taking on a lot of strong special attackers such as Iron Moth, Hisuian Electrode, and Azelf with its amazing Dragon / Steel typing and high Special Defense boosted even further with Assault Vest. Dragon Tail hits Walking Wake and forces out setup sweepers like Gholdengo and Manaphy. Earthquake allows it to hit Steel-types like Heatran, Empoleon, and opposing Hisuian Goodra; Flamethrower hits Corviknight and non-Well-Baked Body Gholdengo; and Knock Off, while being risky, works for both hitting Ghost-types like Gengar and Gholdengo and crippling switch-ins like RegenVest Meloetta, Manaphy, and non-Regenerator Great Tusk. Thunderbolt is used as a way to hit Flying-types like Mandibuzz and Well-Baked Body Corviknight, and Ice Beam is used as a way to hit Ground-types like Great Tusk and Garchomp. Physically defensive Pokemon like Corviknight, Great Tusk, and Quaquaval appreciate Hisuian Goodra's presence as a teammate that can switch in on many special threats and threaten them back. More frail pivot Pokemon like Azelf, Barraskewda, and Meowscarada also like Hisuian Goodra for being able to weaken defensive Pokemon that would otherwise be hard for them to break past such as Empoleon, Corviknight, and opposing Hisuian Goodra. Hisuian Goodra does struggle against most physical attacking Pokemon as well as not taking Knock Off very well from Pokemon like Roaring Moon, Weavile, and Choice Specs Walking Wake, but teammates like Corviknight, Quaquaval, and Empoleon can help with its bad matchups and get it more opportunities to heal by pivoting into it.
