Golbat @ Eviolite
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 84 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Thief / Defog / Toxic
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- U-turn

In a metagame filled with Eviolite users, how do walls retain their bulk versus Knock Off? For some like Golbat, the answer is Thief. Golbat can switch into Tangela, Thwackey, and Gurdurr, tank their Knock Off, and then use Thief to steal an Eviolite from switch-ins like Duosion and Piloswine. Alternatively, Golbat may function as a Defogger, or it may use Toxic to target walls like Galarian Corsola and defensive Wartortle. 84 Speed EVs and a Jolly nature ensure that Golbat is faster than Adamant Thwackey. Pair Golbat with wallbreakers like Choice Specs Magmar and Choice Band Thwackey that appreciate Golbat’s U-turn. Steel-types like Ferroseed and Klang help check Galarian Mr. Mime and Future Sight Duosion, and Ground-types like Piloswine and Marshtomp prevent Electabuzz from gaining momentum versus Golbat with Volt Switch. Even with Defog, Golbat enjoys support from Gurdurr, Hattrem, and Magmar to check entry hazard setters like Piloswine, Galarian Corsola, and Ferroseed.

Golbat may switch into Tangela, Thwackey, and Gurdurr, tank their Knock Off, then use Thief to steal an Eviolite from switch-ins like Duosion Electabuzz (Thief on expected Electabuzz switch-in may cause Static to come into affect and para Bat which is super bad) and Piloswine. Otherwise, Golbat may function as a Defogger, or it may use Toxic to target walls like Galarian Galarain Corsola and defensive Wartortle. 84 Speed EVs and a Jolly nature ensures that Golbat is faster than Adamant Thwackey. Pair Golbat with wallbreakers like Choice Specs Lampent (would maybe replace Lampent with Magmar due to relevancy and the fact Lampent is normally Scarf or Evio) and Choice Band Thwackey that appreciate Golbat’s U-turn. Steel-types like Ferroseed and Klang help check Galarian Mr. Mime and Future Sight Duosion, and Ground-types like Piloswine and Marshtomp prevent Electabuzz from gaining momentum versus Golbat with Volt Switch. Even with Defog itself, Golbat enjoys support from Gurdurr, Hattrem, and Magmar to check entry hazard setters like Piloswine, Galarian Corsola, and Ferroseed.
