Whimsicott @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Moonblast
- Energy Ball
- U-turn / Psychic
- Switcheroo / Psychic

With an incredible Speed tier, strong ability Infiltrator, and solid STAB moves targeting foes like Spiritomb, Floatzel, and Lanturn, Whimsicott is one of ZU's most threatening revenge killers and cleaners. U-turn lets Whimsicott pivot quickly out of difficult matchups against the likes of Charizard and Weezing and allows it to bring frailer teammates like Jolteon and Oricorio-F in safely. Switcheroo cripples walls like Orthworm and Snorlax but comes at the cost of Whimsicott's offensive utility being diminished. Finally, Psychic is an alternative over either move, allowing Whimsicott to nail Poison- and Fire-types like Weezing and Charizard. Tera Fairy allows Whimsicott's Moonblast to OHKO Beatric and Vikavolt after Stealth Rock and OHKO Dipplin while also removing Whimsicott's Fire and Ice weakness. Whimsicott's inability to break through Poison- and Steel-types like Magneton and Muk makes it appreciate having wallbreakers like Hisuian Sneasel and Sandslash around to help break down these threats. Whimsicott also enjoys having entry hazards from the aforementioned Sandslash as well as other Pokemon like Mesprit and Nalstack to help slowly chip away opposing Pokemon to get into range of Whimsicott's attacks.

the only thing i would add (if you can fit it) is how it leverages its typing to find entry against grasses, waters, etc
