Kitsunoh is one of the premier Choice Scarf users in the CAP metagame for its ability to deal with sweepers like Aurumoth, as well as other Psychic-types, and its ability to shift momentum with U-turn. Kitsunoh originally started picking up as an offensive Shell Smash Necturna check; however, Necturna got nerfed. Despite this, Kitsunoh is still an incredibly potent Pokemon thanks to its ability to deal with Psychic-types like Tapu Lele and Mega Alakazam. Additionally, Shadow Strike, Kitsunoh's signature custom move, has a 50% chance to drop the foe's Defense, making it a decent late-game cleaner too. Kitsunoh pairs well with other Steel-types like Magearna, Heatran, and Ferrothorn to consistently deal with the aforementioned Psychic-types and fits on many teams as a result.
