Tera Type: Steel

Adamant Nature
- First Impression
- Close Combat
- Heavy Slam
- U-turn
The beloved Bug of RU, Slither Wing is known to make a great First Impression! With exceptional offensive STAB moves and coverage, Slither Wing threatens most of the metagame as a reliable revenge killer and pivot option. First Impression is incredibly valuable in a metagame littered with setup sweepers like Armarouge, Blastoise, and Maushold. Heavy Slam puts a dent on the Fairy-types that resist its STAB combination like Fezandipiti and Galarian Weezing. An Adamant nature with 168 Speed EVs allows Slither Wing to outspeed Pokemon like Bisharp and Volcanion. Tera Steel is great offensively, threatening an OHKO on Galarian Weezing; defensively, it flips key weaknesses to Fairy and Psychic to help with matchups into Gardevoir, Mimikyu, and Necrozma. Noivern and Thundurus are notable partners that threaten the physical walls that come in against Slither Wing, like Amoonguss and Hippowdon, forming dynamic VoltTurn cores that disrupt conservative switching. Knock Off and entry hazard support from teammates like Chesnaught and Krookodile support Slither Wing by removing Rocky Helmet and Heavy-Duty Boots to maximize its offensive output.
