NFE Monferno

[Finchely]

Monferno @ Choice Band
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Flare Blitz
- Knock Off
- Mach Punch

Monferno rules over NFE with an iron fist! Close Combat and Flare Blitz destroy common defensive staples such as Dunsparce and Tinkatuff, while Knock Off debilitates Monferno's primary defensive checks in Quaxwell and Seadra. Mach Punch is used to pick off the handful of relevant Pokemon that outspeed Monferno and is particularly valuable for dealing with Dragon Dance Scraggy. Lacking an Eviolite, however, Choice Band Monferno can struggle to find openings by switching into Pokemon such as Thwackey and Scraggy, something it otherwise would be more comfortable doing. As such, Monferno heavily appreciates a diverse range of pivots such as Quaxwell, Eelektrik, Thwackey, and Drakloak. It is also imperative that Monferno be paired with a grounded Poison-type, as using Close Combat against Koffing gives Koffing an opportunity to use Toxic Spikes. While Monferno is capable of breaking through Quaxwell and Seadra over the course of a game, it still must fear them early- and mid-game, which is why Monferno often enjoys support from Pokemon that can punish thoughtless use of Flip Turn; examples include Water Absorb Chinchou, one's own Poison Point Seadra, and Air Balloon Pickpocket Tinkatuff.
