[SET COMMENTS]
Pecharunt, bolstered by its impressive Defense stats and Dark typing thanks of Gyaradosite, emerges as an amazing physical wall in the metagame, and it is arguably the best check to formidable physical attackers like Ceruledge. Mold Breaker further enhances Pecharunt's utility, granting it the capability to use Toxic against defensive Sablenite users, such as Garganacl and Milotic, and Parting Shot against Magic Bounce users. Malignant Chain can be used in place of Toxic to inflict decent damage to specific targets, including Altarianite Dragonite and Hisuian Arcanine, while also being able to poison common Taunt users such as Arceus and non-Substitute Arceus-Ghost, although the reduced chance of poisoning and the limited PP may render this choice suboptimal. Foul Play enables Pecharunt to deal significant damage to foes like Ceruledge and Lunala, while Parting Shot amplifies its utility as a pivot. Gyaradosite Pecharunt is a valuable addition to balance and bulky offense teams, forming an immaculate core with specially defensive Latiasite Magearna, as they cover each other's checks excluding Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk; Pecharunt is able to deal with Ceruledge, while Magearna provides a Ground immunity with Levitate as well as the ability to set up Spikes and establishes a formidable pivot core. Arceus formes such as Arceus-Ground also solidify the defensive backbone as well as provide an offensive presence to the team with Calm Mind. Entry Hazards can compromise Pecharunt's efficacy as a wall and may force it to use Recover more often, necessitating hazard removers in the team like Regieleki and Great Tusk. Pecharunt can be paired with offensive teammates such as Ceruledge, Raging Bolt, and Urshifu-R as it can easily provide them a safe switch.
