[overview]
**Draft Order**: Round 5 onwards

**Price Range**: 10-11 points

**Overview**: Behold the dealer of big damage! Typically picked up to round out a team, Haxorus is an affordable breaker and setup sweeper capable of wielding its useful coverage options and reasonable Speed tier to target specific weaknesses in an opponent's team. Unnerve lets it negate the effect of resistance berries allowing it to unleash its fearsome attacks with reckless abandon. Mold Breaker gives it a niche in being able to hit Levitate users with Ground-type moves and also allows it to set up on Unaware walls. Aside from damage, Haxorus can assist the team with.. not much else really; Abysmal defences, monotyping, and a dearth of utility hold Haxorus back from other higher tier breakers and can leave it quite reliant on Tera to make its coverage options pack the damage they need to have meaningful impact in spite of its monstrous 147 base Attack.
