Potential Sets:
Meowscarada @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Protean
Level: 50
EVs: 32 Atk / 2 SpD / 32 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flower Trick
- U-Turn
- Knock Off
- Triple Axel / Spikes / Trick / Toxic Spikes
This set is, in my opinion, Meowscarada's best set. With a speed tier high enough to revenge KO most boost sweepers, including the menacing Mega Blastoise, it is no surprise that it is a very solid anti-offense tool. Meowscarada is able to force switches with its STABS, and then either pivot on a switch, knock it off, set a layer of spikes, or even cripple it with Trick.
Meowscarada @ Black Glasses
Ability: Overgrow
Level: 50
EVs: 32 Atk / 2 SpD / 32 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flower Trick
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
- U-turn
Utilizing just its Stabs + Sucker Punch, Meowscarada hits surprisingly hard with a black-glasses boosted Knock Off. Sucker Punch is excellent for revenge killing, and unlike the Choice Scarf set, it is able to switch up its moves when needed, which eases prediction and still lets it keep its amazing speed tier.
