Pecharunt is the tier's premier physical wall, boasting utility in Parting Shot and a massive Defense stat boosted further by Intimidate. Night Shade does solid damage to Steel-types such as Corviknight and Iron Treads, as well as breaking substitutes from IronPress Zamazenta. Hex is an option over Shadow Ball to hit Bulletproof Iron Treads while also hitting Gholdengo harder than Night Shade. Recover gives Pecharunt much-needed longevity, and Parting Shot opens up opportunities for offensive teammates. 252 Speed EVs with a Timid nature let Pecharunt outspeed and pivot on Goldengo and Great Tusk but at the cost of less bulk. Heavy-Duty Boots gives Pecharunt more freedom to repeatedly switch in and pivot out over the course of a game.
The need for a physical wall is universal, so Pecharunt fits well on almost every teamstyle that isn’t hyper offense. Wallbreakers like Chien-Pao, Latios, and Deoxys-S appreciate Pecharunt's ability to pivot them in, and special walls like Swampert, Iron Treads, and Manaphy need Pecharunt to answer physical threats like the Ogerpon Forms, Zamazenta, and Iron Hands. In exchange, the aforementioned special walls check special attackers such as Latios, Deoxys-S, and Gholdengo. Pecharunt can get overwhelmed by strong Dark-type physical attackers like Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Roaring Moon, so it needs backup from other physical walls like Corviknight and Great Tusk.
