Samurott @ Buginium Z
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Liquidation
- Megahorn
- Aqua Jet
Despite sitting in PUBL, Samurott's passable Attack and Speed let it pressure top Pokemon like Incineroar and Steelix while also being able to threaten Grass-type Pokemon like Dhelmise, Decidueye, and Sceptile with Megahorn. Swords Dance helps Samurott break past the aforementioned Pokemon as well as other bulky Pokemon such as Blastoise, Garbodor, and Vaporeon and gives it a unique niche of being a physically boosting Water-type. A Swords Dance-boosted Aqua Jet KOes Pokemon like Delphox and Accelgor after Stealth Rock damage, making Samurott a valuable addition to any team that needs a way around these Pokemon. Because it's slow, try to switch it in with a slow pivoting move from a Pokemon like Incineroar. As with any offensive Pokemon, chip damage helps Samurott fully achieve its wallbreaking potential, so be sure to pair it with entry hazard setters like Garbodor, Steelix, and Rhydon; additionally, Garbodor can pressure Pokemon like Comfey and Whimsicott, while Steelix and Rhydon can pressure Heliolisk and Togedemaru. Since physical tanks like Weezing and Ferroseed can make it hard for Samurott, use special wallbreakers like Heliolisk and Sigilyph along with it.
