Grookey @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Grassy Surge
Level: 5
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 236 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Wood Hammer
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Drain Punch

Despite losing Grassy Glide, Grookey has found a new niche as one of SV LC's premier Choice Scarf users. Grassy Terrain-boosted STAB Wood Hammer is one of the metagame's most powerful sources of immediate damage, which can be powered up even further by Tera Grass. It also can use Knock Off to force progress against checks like Foongus and Drifloon and use U-turn to grab momentum on forced switches. Drain Punch rounds out the set, letting Grookey OHKO Pawniard. Grassy Seed Shroodle is a good teammate, as it can use Grassy Surge + Grassy Seed to become LC's most dangerous setup sweeper. Gothita makes a great partner, taking advantage of U-turn to trap Grookey's checks like Foongus. Hisuian Voltorb forms a potent offensive VoltTurn core with Grookey, benefitting from Grookey's Grassy Terrain boosting its STAB moves while wearing down shared checks like Alolan Grimer with Volt Switch.

Despite losing Grassy Glide, Grookey has found a new niche as one of SV Little Cup's premier Choice Scarf users. Grassy Terrain-boosted STAB Wood Hammer is one of the metagame's most powerful sources of immediate damage, which can be powered up even further by Tera Grass. It also has access to Knock Off to force progress against checks like Foongus (id mention drifloon here too since its a really important target), and U-Turn to grab momentum on forced switches. Drain Punch rounds out the set, letting Grookey OHKO opposing Pawniard. Gothita makes a great partner, taking advantage of U-Turn to trap Grookey's checks like Foongus. Hisuian Voltorb forms a potent offensive VoltTurn core with Grookey, benefitting from Grookey's Grassy Terrain boosting its STAB while wearing down shared checks with Volt Switch. unless im missing something like not wanting to mention something that might end up banned, shroodle definitely needs to be the #1 partner)
qc 1/1
 
Eric's additional information is good and should be added. I'm just here to comment that I don't know why "sources of immediate damage" is used over "attacks".
 
add remove conjecture
