LC Natu

Birb Go brrr

Natu @ Eviolite
Ability: Magic Bounce
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 76 Def / 36 SpA / 156 SpD / 196 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Cosmic Power
- Stored Power
- Heat Wave
- Roost

Cosmic Power turns Natu into a fearsome wincon, taking advantage of Pokemon such as Mareanie and Ferroseed. Magic Bounce makes it difficult for foes to status Natu or afflict it with Taunt; this is further compounded by Natu having reliable recovery in Roost. Stored Power synergizes extremely well with Cosmic Power and can OHKO foes after a few boosts. Heat Wave targets Pawniard, one of the few viable Dark-type foes in LC. The best way to enable Cosmic Power Natu is to status foes, making partners like Ferroseed, Larvesta, and Will-O-Wisp Koffing great additions.

I would say you set up on slower pokemon, not necessarily things that are passive. You can often set up on a timburr or a mudbray if sr isn't up.

With Cosmic Power, Natu increases its bulk, allowing it to setup easier.

This sentence doesn't really make sense. cosmic power is the setup button, you are setting up when you use cosmic power. I know you're trying to say it gains bulk allowing it to keep boosting. Find a better phrasing for that.

Heat Wave KOs the Steel-types that resist Psychic, such as Ferroseed and Pawniard

Pawn is immune, and it's just a coverage option of choice for Pawn. You don't care about Ferro.

The point about knock off at the end is wrong, as you more or less aim to set up when it wins and at that point knock off doesn't exactly help. You're not switching into attacks with this. You're setting up on Ferro and mini pex which both have knock off. you can set up on other knock users sometimes as well. For suggested teammates mention things that can spread burns or paras (eg Larvesta, Ferroseed).
