Set Details
===================
Life Orb Jumbao is one of the strongest special attackers in cap, using metagame staples like Slowking and Zeraora as entry points to fire off it’s strong stab attacks and coverage. Trace allows Jumbao to copy Slowking’s Regenerator so it can stay healthy and constantly threaten Slowking throughout a game. Trace also allows Jumbao to absorb Zeraora's Volt Switch and switch into most Heatran sets, both of which are useful to balance teams. Leaf Storm and Moonblast pair excellently, as the sheer power of Leaf Storm dissuades Moonblast switch-ins like Toxapex and Equilibra from coming in. Focus Blast is important coverage for Steel-types such as Heatran, Ferrothorn, and Melmetal. Shore Up helps Jumbao stay healthy, as it is otherwise prone to entry hazard and life orb chip damage. A Modest nature allows Leaf Storm to guarantee an OHKO versus Slowking and a 2HKO on Toxapex as it switches in, while letting Focus Blast 2HKO Corviknight after Stealth Rock and Scizor after a small amount of chip damage. Timid may occasionally be preferred to outspeed the likes of Kyurem, Tapu Lele and Nidoking.
Jumbao pairs well with Steel and Water-types, which cover its weaknesses to the likes of Melmetal, Scizor, and Volcarona. It pairs incredibly well with Heatran, each resisting every type the other is weak to. Additionally, Heatran can pressure Jumbao's Steel-type checks like Corviknight and Scizor and use Taunt to help weaken Blissey and prevent Slowking from instantly pivoting out with teleport as Jumbao switches in. Heatran can also use Magma Storm to trap and remove some of Jumbao's checks such as Toxapex and Galarian-Slowking. Jumbao also pairs well with Slowking, which has similar type synergy and can pivot Jumbao in safely with Teleport while additionally setting Future Sight, which makes Pokemon like Toxapex and Tornadus-T unable to switch into Jumbao’s attacks. Toxapex covers Jumbao’s weaknesses to Scizor, Astrolotl, and Weavile and benefits from Jumbao taking advantage of Slowking and Zeraora. Tornadus-T greatly appreciates Jumbao's ability to stave off Zeraora, and in return Tornadus-T can often weaken Jumbao's answers like Blissey and Galarian-Slowking with Knock Off.
