Sylveon @ Leftovers
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Boomburst
- Rapid Spin
- Recover
- Glare
Sylveon is a classic STABmons threat that shows even the cutest things can STAB you in the back. Pixilate-boosted Boomburst is able to break past Pokemon like Zapdos and Seismitoad, as well as OHKOing Pokemon like Garchomp. Pixilate-boosted Rapid Spin is nearly unblockable, so Sylveon can remove entry hazards in almost any situation. Sylveon is able to check Tyranitar, Latias, Garchomp, and various other wallbreakers while remaining healthy thanks to Recover. Glare allows Sylveon to paralyze foes and lets it act as team support for slower offensive teammates like Obstagoon, Aegislash, and Gyarados. Toxapex is particularly annoying for Sylveon to deal with, so make sure to have a strong Ground- or Psychic-type like Excadrill, Nidoking, or Tapu Lele to deal with it. Sylveon struggles with Steel-type foes like Excadrill, Ferrothorn, and Corviknight and appreciates the support of Fire-type partners like Rotom-H and Cinderace.
