Raboot @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Libero
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- High Jump Kick
- U-turn
- Sucker Punch
This rabbit Pokemon finds itself as a powerful pivot in NFE thanks to its solid offensive stats, great coverage moves, and an incredible ability in Libero! High Jump Kick allows Raboot to deal with Piloswine, Dunsparce, and Vigoroth. With U-turn, Raboot can pivot out of awkward matchups such as Mareanie, Koffing, and Quaxwell. Sucker Punch is useful priority, picking off faster offensive threats such as Frogadier and Drakloak. Raboot's inability to deal with physically defensive walls such as defensive Gabite and Quaxwell means that it appreciates utility Pokemon like Servine and Ivysaur, both of which can reliably use Knock Off to cripple these walls. Frail offensive threats such as Choice Specs Drakloak and Pikachu appreciate Raboot's ability to reliably get them onto the battlefield safely. As a pivot, Raboot relies heavily on its Heavy-Duty Boots, meaning Knock Off absorbers such as Tinkatuff and Koffing are extremely useful teammates that also provide their own utility through entry hazards and status.
