Choice Scarf Meowscarada serves as the fastest viable Scarfer in the format, allowing it to get the jump on crucial Pokemon like Booster Energy Iron Valiant, Zamazenta, and Scarfed Tapu Lele. Protean changing Meowscarada’s typing to the move it uses allows it to squeeze out extra power from U-turn and Triple Axel, and its downside of only activating once per switch-in is irrelevant with Choice Scarf locking Meowscarada’s move. Flower Trick’s ability to always crit makes it useful against Iron Defense Zamazenta as well as Intimidate Landorus-T attempting to weaken it. Knock Off’s fast item removal can support its team by removing crucial items like Heavy-Duty Boots, Leftovers, and opposing Choice items before they can attack. U-turn synergizes well with Choice Scarf’s move-locking effect, and Triple Axel covers Flying- and Dragon-type Pokémon like Zapdos, Dragonite, and Raging Bolt that aren’t threatened by Meowscarada’s main attacking option, being Flower Trick.

Choice Scarf Meowscarada fits best on teams that appreciate its unmatched level of speed control, as it can handle faster Pokémon for its teammates. As such, Balance and Bulky Offense teams appreciate its ability to threaten common methods of speed control. Because of Meowscarada’s ability to force switches and Knock Off Heavy-Duty Boots, entry hazards are greatly appreciated; Pokémon that can set them up include Ting-Lu, Mega Diancie, and Gliscor. Because it tends to pivot with U-turn, Pokémon that remove entry hazards are also appreciated, such as Terapagos, Great Tusk, and Gliscor. Meowscarada also doesn’t pack much power, rendering it unable to provide wallbreaking for its team. Pokémon like Raging Bolt, Zamazenta, and Hatterene can provide that wallbreaking, with the latter also able to deny hazards to assist in Meowscarada’s longevity. In return, Meowscarada can remove or threaten faster Pokémon such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and boosted Dragonite, giving its teammates more opportunities to wallbreak.

Choice Scarf Meowscarada serves as the fastest viable Scarfer in the format, allowing it to get the jump on crucial Pokemon like Booster Energy Iron Valiant, Zamazenta, and Scarfed Tapu Lele. I would talk abt it being able to rkill various things (examples), caus these examples it just misses out on ko and dies most of the time Protean changing Meowscarada’s typing to the move it uses allows it to squeeze out extra power from U-turn and Triple Axel, and its downside of only activating once per switch-in is irrelevant with Choice Scarf locking Meowscarada’s move. this should be at the end of the para, also feel like the downside bit is fluff, would give any relevant calcs / kos protean lets meow have Flower Trick’s ability to always crit makes it useful against Iron Defense Zamazenta as well as Intimidate Landorus-T attempting to weaken it. Knock Off’s fast item removal can support its team by removing crucial items like Heavy-Duty Boots, Leftovers, and opposing Choice items before they can attack. give examples of who meow is knocking U-turn synergizes well with Choice Scarf’s move-locking effect just mention pivoting out of bad matchups, like ferro, and Triple Axel covers Flying- and Dragon-type Pokémon like Zapdos, Dragonite, and Raging Bolt that aren’t threatened by Meowscarada’s main attacking option, being Flower Trick.

Meowscarada also doesn’t pack much power, rendering it unable to provide wallbreaking for its team. this feels like a nothing point, say what things meow cant break (stuff like ferro and birds) and then give examples of what beats them; u mention bolt and zama after and they could be good teammates Pokémon like Raging Bolt, Zamazenta, and Hatterene can provide that wallbreaking, with the latter also able to deny hazards to assist in Meowscarada’s longevity. In return, Meowscarada can remove or threaten faster Pokémon such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and boosted Dragonite, giving its teammates more opportunities to wallbreak. i would mention switchins to fire and flying types at some point (probably at the end) since meow is forced out by them
