Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 224 Def / 32 Spe
Timid Nature
- Night Shade
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
- Taunt / Thunder Wave
The playful poltergeist plunders NFE with its vast utility options! Night Shade and Will-O-Wisp frighten metagame staples like Gabite, Thwackey, and Quaxwell, exploiting their low HP stats and reliance on Eviolite for bulk. Pain Split takes advantage of Piloswine and Dunsparce's high HP stats. Taunt halts recovery-reliant Pokemon like Quaxwell, Monferno, and Vigoroth from healing, while Thunder Wave ruins attackers like Girafarig and Frogadier. Walls like Vullaby and Dunsparce are excellent partners-in-crime for Misdreavus, tanking Knock Off and covering its defensive weaknesses. Wallbreakers like Thwackey and Piloswine benefit from Misdreavus spreading burns and can more easily take on attackers like opposing Thwackey and Piloswine. Normal-types like Vigoroth and Dunsparce completely wall Misdreavus, so teammates like Raboot, Monferno, and Pignite can force them out. Tinkatuff not only covers for Misdreavus's defensive weaknesses, but it also spreads Knock Off for its teammates.
