1v1 Pecharunt - Leftovers [QC 3/2] [GP 1/1]

[lost heros]

[SET]
Leftovers (Pecharunt) @ Leftovers
Ability: Poison Puppeteer
EVs: 248 HP / 172 SpD / 88 Spe
Timid Nature
- Malignant Chain
- Curse
- Parting Shot
- Recover

[SET COMMENTS]
* Malignant Chain can seriously threaten Iron Valiant and Ogerpon-W. It also has the added bonus of having a high chance of poisoning which can wear down bulky Pokemon without relying on Curse, and it can also trigger Poison Puppeteer to provide decent odds to win otherwise losing matches with confusion.
* Curse lets Pecharunt whittle down any foe behind Substitute regardless of typing, including Body Press Corviknight, Registeel, and SubSeed Ogerpon-W.
* The combination of Parting Shot and Recover lets Pecharunt neutralize virtually all non-Taunt, neutrally effective attackers like Gouging Fire, non-Choice Specs Primarina, and Choice Scarf Haxorus while keeping Pecharunt healthy.
* The Speed investment lets Pecharunt outspeed Body Press and PP stall Corviknight. The remaining EVs are in HP and Special Defense for overall bulk.
* Leftovers provides consistent healing in every matchup but also lets Pecharunt avoid being PP stalled by Taunt + Body Press Corviknight. Leftovers is also chosen over Black Sludge to continue to provide healing after a Soak from Bellibolt.
* Against most Pokemon, Parting Shot should be used early to mitigate damage. Even against Encore Primarina, as after a few Parting Shots, Primarina won't be able to do substantial damage and Pecharunt will PP stall Encore out.
* Against SubSeed Ogerpon-W, Curse shouldn't be used until after Parting Shot has been used to minimize the damage from Ivy Cudgel so that Curse can be used safely.
* Against Volcarona and other Pokemon that may be able to OHKO Pecharunt, it's better to use Malignant Chain instead and play for a confusion from Poison Puppeteer.

Lefties (Pecharunt) @ Leftovers

Proper naming convention here is Leftovers (Pecharunt) @ Leftovers

Tera Type: Poison

Probs for the best to remove this line because Tera is banned.

and SubSeed Ogerpon-Wellspring.

Using Curse on Wellspring is a bit scary to start with because of the following...
0 Atk Wellspring Mask Ogerpon-Wellspring Ivy Cudgel vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Pecharunt: 102-120 (26.9 - 31.6%) -- 28.9% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
I think there should be some mention of something with Parting Shot so you don't just get 2HKO'd with Ivy Cudgel + the Curse recoil, maybe a bullet point on how to play that matchup or something.

The combination of Parting Shot and Recover lets Pecharunt neutralize virtually all non-Taunt, neutrally effective attackers like Gouging Fire, Primarina, and Scarf Haxorus, while keeping Pecharunt healthy.

Clear Amulet Gouging Fire makes this weird but it's probs fine bc of Malignant Chain's Toxic chance, I'd just mention it though. Primarina can be Specs Psychic Noise and prevent healing. Scarf Haxorus is a good example but make sure it says Choice Scarf over Scarf.

Speed EVs outspeed Body Press Corviknight. Remaining EVs are in HP and Special Defense for overall bulk.

Another bit of a GP change sorry but saying "The Speed EVs" and "The remaining EVs" would be better here but that's technically not under my jurisdiction as a member of a QC team.

Even against Primarina who can use Encore

You can say Encore Primarina, but this reads like "all Primarina, which can (in theory) use Encore." Once again the Choice Specs Primarina Psychic Noise thing comes up.

Check in once again after fixes, and I might be wrong so don't hesitate to dm me (or ping me) if my changes are wrong or something, I'm not the best at figuring out stuff with Pecharunt lol...

1/2, this is open for a 2nd QC.

(Comments)

* The Speed EVs outspeed Body Press Corviknight (i searched every corv in the set submissions channel and found zero that match the description, it's probably a dump, so it's likely that pecha is made to bulk something, pls ask Murm or search what it was made to bulk.)

...Even against Encore Primarina because ("since", "as" sounds better than because.)

...after a few Parting Shots (add comma)

...Pecharunt will PP stall the encore (remove "the" and capitalize Encore.) out.

*Against (add space)

* Against Volcarona or other Pokemon that may be able to OHKO Pecharunt (add more examples, there are many to choose from, Landorus and Hoopa-U are perfect examples. also slight restructure of the sentence "Against Pokemon that may be able to OHKO Pecharunt, like...")

most of these are nitpicks, the analysis looks great! will take another look after the changes.

 

[Murm]

* The Speed EVs outspeed Body Press Corviknight.

This isn't necessarily true. This set outspeeds max speed Corviknight, which often doesn't run Body Press.

* Malignant Chain is the best STAB damaging move available and can seriously threaten Iron Valiant and Ogerpon-Wellspring.

Mention that the poison chance can be very useful for breaking down bulky Pokemon without having to sacrifice your HP with Curse.

 

[bellchime]

QC 3/3 I guess lmfao

 

[lost heros]

Implemented all 3 sorry for the delay GP Team

It also has the added bonus of having a high chance of poisoning, (comma) triggering Toxic which can wear down bulky Pokemon without relying on Curse, and it can also trigger Poison Puppeteer to provide decent odds to win otherwise losing matches with confusion.

* The combination of Parting Shot and Recover lets Pecharunt neutralize virtually all non-Taunt, neutrally effective attackers like Gouging Fire, non-Choice Specs Primarina, and Choice Scarf Haxorus (remove comma) while keeping Pecharunt healthy.
* The Speed EVs investment lets Pecharunt (changed bc +nature) outspeed Body Press and PP stall Stall Corviknight. The remaining EVs are in HP and Special Defense for overall bulk.
* Leftovers provides consistent healing in every matchup (remove comma) but also lets Pecharunt avoid being PP stalled by Taunt + (add + sign) Body Press Corviknight. Leftovers is also chosen over Black Sludge (remove comma) to continue to provide healing after a Soak from Bellibolt.

* Against Volcarona or and other Pokemon that may be able to OHKO Pecharunt, it's better to use Malignant Chain instead and play (pray?) for a confusion from Poison Puppeteer.
