Salandit @ Life Orb
Ability: Corrosion
Level: 5
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 36 Def / 188 SpA / 36 SpD / 220 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 3 HP
- Fire Blast
- Sludge Bomb
- Tera Blast
- Protect
With Magby and Torchic banned, Salandit carries the torch as the premier fast Fire-type wallbreaker! With 3 HP IVs, Life Orb recoil and Stealth Rock chip damage are minimized. Fire Blast OHKOs common defensive pieces such as Foongus, Toedscool, and Tinkatink while dealing massive damage to metagame staples such as Mienfoo and Vullaby. Sludge Bomb hits Fire-resistant Pokemon such as Chinchou and Shellder. The few Pokemon that resist Salandit's STAB combination, such as Glimmet and Mareanie, are hit super effectively by Tera Blast Psychic, which also allows Salandit to OHKO Mienfoo. Protect blocks Mienfoo's Fake Out, the most common form of priority, and lets Salandit scout for defensive Tera types. Trapinch is an excellent partner, as it can trap and remove threats such as Alolan Diglett and Elekid, which outspeed Salandit and threaten super effective damage; Stunky; which threatens Salandit with Sucker Punch; and Glimmet, allowing Tera to be preserved. Pivots such as Mienfoo and Vullaby can bring Salandit into favorable matchups against their checks like Foongus and Tinkatink.
