Great all-around fat mon; it eats basically everything for breakfast. Synthesis is usually better, but Giga Drain can be run over Synthesis for a better matchup against rain teams:

against :pelipper:
0 SpA Venusaur-Mega Sludge Bomb vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Pelipper: 153-180 (47.3 - 55.7%) -- 75.4% chance to 2HKO

against :barraskewda:

against :pelipper:
0 SpA Pelipper Surf vs. 248 HP / 68 SpD Venusaur-Mega in Rain: 57-67 (15.7 - 18.4%) -- possible 6HKO
0 Atk Pelipper U-turn vs. 248 HP / 176+ Def Venusaur-Mega: 20-24 (5.5 - 6.6%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

With a super effective Freeze-Dry Kyurem threatens to OHKO Pelipper, Swampert and Barraskewda. Meanwhile, tera Water allows it to avoid a 2 hit KO from any attack either Swampert or Barraskewda can throw at it. The speed allows it to outspeed timid Heatran which isn't useful against this core but still nice I suppose.

:pelipper: defensive calcs irrelevant since it can literally only click u turn or roost

you can also run 132 Def / 128 SpA to 100% break sub out of rain w/ scald, though this set makes you nearly immortal, which i think is a bit safer

I'd say Tangrowth as it has regen to recover off the damage dealt by them as well as punishing them with giga drain and the Peli lacks Cane here so yes it's Tang

Switch into Kingambit and click Howl, switch in then Z-Move into Wild Charge when Pex comes in. Pex can't haze you or recover so its just forced out, letting you setup more howls. Unboosted Wild Charge into Z-Move also packs up Pex.

Switch into Kingambit and click Howl, switch in then Z-Move into Wild Charge when Pex comes in. Pex can't haze you or recover so its just forced out, letting you setup more howls. Unboosted Wild Charge into Z-Move also packs up Pex.
