Garganacl @ Pinsirite
Ability: Purifying Salt
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Salt Cure
- Body Slam
- Recover
Salt rains down from the skies of Mix and Mega! With Pinsirite, Garganacl soars over incoming Earthquakes to become one of the tier's sturdiest walls and best entry hazard setters, leveraging valuable resistances to Fire, Flying, and Normal. Salt Cure forces out Sablenite users such as Corviknight looking to reflect incoming Stealth Rock with Magic Bounce, as well as racking up passive damage on common threats such as Gouging Fire, Solgaleo, and Magearna. With Aerilate, Body Slam 2HKOes non-Pinsirite Great Tusk as well as being a powerful paralysis-spreading tool, granting Garganacl free turns to set up Stealth Rock or regain crucial HP with Recover. Due to the added Flying-type, Garganacl has a severe vulnerability to common Electric-types such as Raging Bolt and especially Regieleki, mandating sturdy answers to them such as defensive Eternatus, Clodsire, and Arceus-Ground. Garganacl also has a Stealth Rock weakness after Mega Evolving, making hazard-removing teammates such as Great Tusk, Regieleki, and Sablenite Corviknight fantastic options.
