Name: Belly Drum

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
[SET DESCRIPTION]
Slurpuff faces competition from Gardevoir and Galarian Weezing as a Fairy-type. The one thing that makes it stand out is its profound access to Unburden, which would make Slurpuff very hard to outspeed. Belly Drum maximizes Slurpuff’s sweeping potential, allowing it to force out physically frail Pokémon such as Araquanid. Play Rough is a great STAB move against Dragon-types such as Haxorus and Noivern, as well as Sirfetch’d. Drain Punch allows Slurpuff to deal with Lucario, Cobalion, and Incineroar. Finally, Facade helps Slurpuff punish Pokémon who may try to inflict status on Slurpuff such as Araquanid, Bronzong, and the previously mentioned Incineroar. A Sitrus Berry contributes to Slurpuff’s longevity after Belly Drum, activating Unburden. An Adamant Nature with maximum investment in Attack and Speed maximizes Slurpuff’s sweeping potential, while 4 EVs in HP helps improve its bulk. Slurpuff’s aim is to find a safe situation to use Belly Drum, then spam either Play Rough or Drain Punch to sweep. Ideally, the late game is the ideal time for Slurpuff to sweep so that there are little or no threats at all.
Slurpuff fits best on balanced and offensive teams that appreciate a fast sweeper that can maximize its sweeping potential. In order for Slurpuff to sweep more efficiently, it very much appreciates hazard support in order to clean more efficiently. Thus, hazard support from the likes of Cobalion, Roserade, Bronzong, and Galarian Corsola are very much appreciated by Slurpuff. Both Bronzong and Galarian Corsola can bring in Dark-types like Umbreon for Slurpuff to take advantage of. Because of Slurpuff’s mediocre bulk, pivot support from the likes of Incineroar, Flygon, Noivern, Rotom-C, and Rotom-W help bring in Slurpuff to clean and sweep. Despite after using Belly Drum, Galarian Weezing can still check it, so powerful wallbreakers such as Gardevoir and Chandelure make for good teammates. The previously mentioned Chandelure, as well as other Ghost-types such as Doublade and Polteageist, can spinblock for Slurpuff, so that the latter can sweep more efficiently. However, that won’t stop Defoggers such as Galarian Weezing to remove hazards, so Taunt users such as Drapion and the aforementioned Noivern make good teammates. Since Slurpuff is prone to being revenge killed, Indeedee makes for a good partner to set up Psychic Terrain and prevent revenge killers such as Machamp to shut it down once Slurpuff is weakened. However, when not running Indeedee as a teammate, checks and counters to Machamp, such as Doublade and Noivern make for good teammates. Doublade makes for Slurpuff’s biggest counter in UU, as it walls Slurpuff even after one Belly Drum, and it can OHKO Slurpuff back with Iron Head after one Swords Dance, so bulky Water-types such as Milotic, Vaporeon, Araquanid, and Mantine make for good teammates. Jellicent makes for one of Slurpuff’s most important teammates, because it can spinblock, use Taunt to prevent Defoggers such as Galarian Weezing to remove hazards, use Will-o-Wisp to cripple Doublade and other physical attackers for Slurpuff to handle, and it is a bulky Water-type that can check Doublade for Slurpuff. Knock Off users such as Incineroar, Machamp, and Drapion make for good teammates as well that can remove Doublade’s Eviolite and force it out.
