Jolly Nature
- Defog
- Roost
- Brave Bird
- U-turn
Unfezant's great Speed tier, access to a pivoting move in U-turn, and newfound access to Brave Bird make it one of the tier's best Defog users. Roost mitigates the recoil taken from Brave Bird and allows Unfezant to reliably switch into threats like Lurantis and Lilligant, while U-turn lets it pivot out of unfavorable matchups, although it must be wary of Stunfisk's Static. Wallbreakers such as Appletun and Throh are able to threaten bulky foes Unfezant struggles against, like Stunfisk and Klinklang. They also appreciate Unfezant getting them in safely via U-turn and pressuring threats they struggle against, like Lurantis and Gourgeist-XL. In a similar vein, partners such as Alolan Dugtrio and Falinks can weaken the answers they have in common with Unfezant, with the former also dealing with Stunfisk. Lastly, Unfezant pairs well with other VoltTurn users, like Golduck and Liepard, with the latter also being able to threaten faster threats Unfezant has a hard time against.
