You’re approved but my qc team insists that you dpuble check stuff like base stats/speed tiers as you write the analysis.
BH Gen 8:
Darmanitan-Galar-Zen @ Ice Memory
Ability: Intrepid Sword
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Multi-Attack
- V-Create
- Bolt Beak
- U-Turn / *Fishous Rend
I have had so much success with this set:
1. Easy to Imposterproof (I.e. Dragapult, Fur Coat Eternatus / Zekrom / Reshiram, *Flash Fire Steelix, Water Absorb Rhydon, etc.)
2. Basically matches Choice Band Icicle Crash in power, without Choice Lock / Dynamax nullification.
Keep in mind, that oftentimes the problems of using Intrepid Sword were about the Imposter coming in at +2, so Choice Band + Desolate Land, or Mold Breaker were used in its place.
This either limited the flexibility, or the power to compete with Intrepid Sword sets, as Choice Band and Desolate Land only boosted one of its 4 moves at a time, while Mold Breaker had to assume you were breaking the right ability (Flash Fire, not Primordial Sea).
*Further, Desolate Land prevented you from being able to use Fishous Rend to break walls like Fur Coat Darmanitan-Z, Flash Fire Steelix, etc., and didn’t allow you to Dynamax summon Hail (to break Focus Sash during the hit).
Ultimately, by boosting its Ice move to new heights, you can 2HKO opposing Fur Coat Eternatus, while Imposter cannot dent your own, as even its coverage is resisted by Dragons.
Lastly, this set doesn’t just combine power (Ice STAB), flexibility (no Choice lock), it offers useful coverage (Fishous Rend), and removes Intrepid Sword sets’ key Imposter concern- Ice coverage on Imposter, a key Dynamax coverage move.
I view this set as having a slot of its own, without being too similar or too different from the Choice Band sets.
