Manaphy @ Leftovers
Ability: Hydration
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tail Glow
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Energy Ball
Manaphy lights up UU! With its Tail Glow Set, Manaphy is a terrifying sweeper, being able to set up on Skeledirge, Scizor, and Skarmory lacking Whirlwind. Surf is the primary STAB move, being able to 2HKO Fezandpiti and OHKO Cobalion after one boost. Ice Beam hits foes that can tank a +3 Surf such as Hydrapple, Tornadus-T, and Clodsire. Energy Ball is used to muscle past opposing Water-types such as Rotom-W and Slowking. Manaphy struggles to get past Toxapex, as it can use Toxic to put Manaphy on a timer and also remove its boosts with Haze, so teammates that can help such as Latios and Thundurus-T are appreciated. Faster threats such as Latios, Zarude and Ogerpon can pose major problems to Manaphy, as they threaten to deal major damage to Manaphy, so answers to them such as Lokix, Heatran, and Metagross are greatly appreciated. Deoxys-S can set up entry hazards, which can put Tornadus-T into KO range, and sweepers such as Revavroom appreciate Manaphy luring in Zarude and Meowscarada to be able to potentially sweep.
