LC Natu

Natu @ Eviolite
Ability: Magic Bounce
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 76 Def / 116 SpA / 76 SpD / 196 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Heat Wave
- U-turn
- Roost

Natu thrives in LC as the sole viable Magic Bounce user. The combination of its typing, coverage, and reliable recovery in Roost allows Natu to handle popular Mienfoo + Ferroseed + Poison-type cores and soft check powerful offensive threats such as Grookey and Choice Scarf Mudbray. Furthermore, Magic Bounce gives Natu longevity by denying entry hazards from Ferroseed, which is extremely beneficial in a tier with minimal entry hazard removal, and blocking status moves such as Thunder Wave from Ferroseed and Spore from Foongus. Mienfoo is a nice teammate, as it checks Pawniard, whereas Natu can exploit the Poison-types Mienfoo brings in. Trapinch and Diglett are good teammates too because they can deal with Pawniard. Steel-types such as Pawniard and Ferroseed help Natu deal with opposing Galarian Ponyta, Abra, and Frillish, which are hard for Natu to handle.

Little Cup is a tier with scarce viable hazard removal options. Natu is interesting because of Magic Bounce keeping entry hazards off the field. It also makes Natu immune to status-inducing attacks.(This is really vague and doesn't really tell the reader much. Rewrite this to include some examples and less choppy. For example, you can tie this point to the next sentence and talk about how Magic Bounce helps Natu prevent Ferroseed from setting entry hazards and how it cannot be statused by stuff like Thunder Wave and Spore.) Natu's typing and coverage let it check popular Mienfoo-Ferroseed-Poison-type Mienfoo + Ferroseed + Poison-type cores and threats such as Grookey and Scarfed Choice Scarf Mudbray. Mienfoo is a nice teammate, as it checks healthy Pawniard, whereas Natu can exploit the Poison-types Mienfoo brings in. Structures using Mareanie as their bulky Water-type like Natu as a way to deter Stealth Rock and to soft-check Mienfoo-Diglett matchups.(Not particularly relevant) Since Natu has a hard time denying a healthy Pawniard's Stealth Rocks, Rapid Spin Staryu and Defog Timburr are both good teammates.(No; you are using Natu so you dont have to use these) Trapinch and Diglett are good teammates too since they can KO Pawniard. Pokémon that like Steel-types weakened such as Scarfed Porygon, Zigzagoon or even other Psychic-types are also good teammates. (Instead, mention Steel-types. Pawniard and Ferroseed help Natu against Pokemon it can be pressured by like opposing Psychic-types and Frillish.)

Tag me in QC channel when you implement these changes. The spotlight needs to talk more about Natu and less about its partners.

Natu thrives in the Little Cup metagame as the sole viable Magic Bouncer, denying Entry Hazards from Ferroseed in a tier that has little hazard removal options. It can check popular Mienfoo + Ferroseed + Poison-type cores and threats such as Grookey and Choice Scarf Mudbray especially well thanks to the combination of its typing, coverage, and its immunity to status induced by Thunder Wave or Spore thanks to Magic Bounce. Natu thrives in LC as the sole viable Magic Bounce user. The combination of its typing, coverage, and reliable recovery in Roost allows Natu to handle popular Mienfoo + Ferroseed + Poison-type cores and soft check powerful offensive threats such as Grookey and Choice Scarf Mudbray. Furthermore, Magic Bounce gives Natu longevity by letting it deny entry hazards from Ferroseed, which is extremely beneficial in a tier with minimal entry hazard removal, and making it immune to status such as Thunder Wave from Ferroseed and Spore from Foongus.(Im just gonna rewrite this and reorder it to make it flow better.) Mienfoo is a nice teammate, as it checks Pawniard, whereas Natu can exploit the Poison-types Mienfoo brings in. Trapinch and Diglett are good teammates too since they can deal with Pawniard. Steel-types such as Pawniard or Ferroseed help Natu deal with opposing Ponyta-Galar(add Abra pls) and Frillish which are hard for Natu to handle.
