Larvesta @ Eviolite
Ability: Flame Body
Level: 5
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 76 HP / 236 Def / 156 SpD / 36 Spe
Impish Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Will-O-Wisp
- U-turn
- Morning Sun
Larvesta burns through the competition! With its typing, excellent defensive ability, access to Will-O-Wisp, and reliable recovery in Morning Sun, Larvesta is one of the sturdiest checks to physical attackers like Mienfoo, Alolan Sandshrew, and Grookey. Flare Blitz OHKOes or 2HKOes most of the metagame. Larvesta can cripple physical attackers with Will-O-Wisp, and its slow U-turn capitalizes on forced switches, regaining momentum to safely bring in its teammates. Morning Sun keeps Larvesta healthy to consistently switch in against Mienfoo. Tera Fairy removes its Rock and Flying weaknesses while granting an additional resistance to Dark-type moves such as Knock Off. Due to its 4x Stealth Rock weakness, Larvesta needs entry hazard removal options such as Rapid Spin Toedscool and Defog Vullaby. In return, it can check Alolan Sandshrew, which otherwise threatens OHKOs with Triple Axel, for them. Gothita is another great partner, as Larvesta can use U-turn against Pokemon that resist its STAB combinationlike Mareanie and Glimmet to safely switch Gothita in and trap them. Setup sweepers such as Shellder and Nasty Plot Vullaby appreciate Larvesta's burn support.
