Timid Nature

- Hyper Beam
- Will-O-Wisp
- Calm Mind

[SET COMMENTS]
* Being an extremely fast and powerful Ghost-type with access to Calm Mind and Will-O-Wisp, Spectrier is able to flexibly set up on many different attackers.
* After a Will-O-Wisp, Hex is Spectrier's strongest Ghost-type move. The doubled Base Power of Hex allows Spectrier to remain advantaged in Calm Mind wars against Cresselia and Iron Crown and against burned Pokemon that would otherwise be able to KO Spectrier such as Annihilape and Metagross.
* Hyper Beam allows Spectrier to OHKO frail Pokemon such as Meowscarada and Haxorus.
* Calm Mind allows Spectrier to tank moves from strong special attackers such as non-Assault Vest Volcanion and KO back after one or two Calm Mind boosts with Hyper Beam.
* The Speed EVs let Spectrier outspeed all Meowscarada sets, while the Special Attack EVs let it OHKO standard Haxorus with Hyper Beam. The rest of the EVs are placed in Defense for the best odds against Choice Scarf Haxorus.
* Spectrier struggles to deal with Pokemon that do not mind being burned such as Guts Ursaluna and Hisuian Goodra, anti-setup Pokemon like Volcarona and Primarina, faster Pokemon that can OHKO it such as Chien Pao and Dragapult, and Dark-type Pokemon such as Urshifu-S and Hoopa-U. Therefore, Pokemon like Primarina and Iron Valiant make great partners.

* Being an extremely fast and powerful Ghost-type with access to Calm Mind and Will-O-Wisp, Spectrier offers a unique utility for teams it finds itself on. kind of fluffy, why are these traits good?/what types of mons does spect mu well into?
* After a Will-O-Wisp, Hex is Spectrier's strongest Ghost-type move. The doubled BP of Hex allows Spectrier to remain advantaged in Calm Mind wars against Cresselia and Iron Crown, and against burned Pokemon that can deal with Hyper Beam such as Annihilape and Metagross.
* Will-O-Wisp allows Spectrier to completely neuter physical attackers slower than it that threaten to OHKO it such as Haxorus and Meowscarada, (landot/rapid/etc.) while KOing them back with a Hyper Beam Hex Both examples are poor. its better odds to just raw beam meow/hax lol.
should probably just combine the concept of neutering physical attackers and the 2nd part of the 2nd point into one point.
.
* Calm Mind also allows Spectrier to tank moves from strong special attackers such as Volcanion and KO back after one or two boosts with Hyper Beam.
* The Speed EVs creep all Meowscarada, while the Special Attack EVs KO standard Haxorus with Hyper Beam. The rest of the EVs are placed in Defense.
* Spectrier struggles to deal with Pokemon that do not mind being burned such as Guts Ursaluna and boosting Fire-types such as Volcarona, faster Pokemon that can OHKO it such as Chien Pao and Dragapult, and Pokemon that aren't threatened by Spectrier's offensive moves even after a few turns of setup such as Goodra-Hisui and Hoopa-Unbound. Therefore, Primarina/Iron Valiant/etc. make good partners..

* Being an extremely fast and powerful Ghost-type with access to Calm Mind and Will-O-Wisp, Spectrier offers a unique utility for teams it finds itself on due to its unusual yet large matchup spread. (vague fluff, should be more specific or more concise. maybe just describe wisp/cm allowing it to flexibly setup on different attackers)
* After a Will-O-Wisp, Hex is Spectrier's strongest Ghost-type move. The doubled BP of Hex allows Spectrier to remain advantaged in Calm Mind wars against Cresselia and Iron Crown, and against burned Pokemon that would otherwise be able to KO Spectrier such as Annihilape and Metagross.
* Hyper Beam allows Spectrier to OHKO frail Pokemon it outspeeds (info is kind of redundant but also misleading, you survive (18% roll) scarf hax and still ko that), such as Meowscarada and Haxorus.
* Calm Mind also allows Spectrier to tank moves from strong special attackers such as non-Assault Vest Volcanion and KO back after one or two boosts with Hyper Beam.
* The Speed EVs creep all Meowscarada, while the Special Attack EVs KO standard Haxorus with Hyper Beam. The rest of the EVs are placed in Defense for the best odds against Choice Scarf Haxorus.. (remove 2nd period)
* Spectrier struggles to deal with Pokemon that do not mind being burned such as Guts Ursaluna and boosting Fire-types such as Volcarona, faster Pokemon that can OHKO it such as Chien Pao and Dragapult, and Pokemon that aren't threatened by Spectrier's offensive moves even after a few turns of setup such as Goodra-Hisui and Hoopa-Unbound. Therefore, Pokemon like Primarina and Iron Valiant make great partners.
(fine but I would reorder the information here. dc abt burn: luna, hoodra | anti-setup mons: volcarona, icy encore primarina | dark types: urshifu, hoopa)
