Stakataka @ Rockium Z
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
IVs: 15 Def / 0 Spe
Lonely Nature
- Trick Room
- Gyro Ball
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake

Stakataka's access to Trick Room coupled with its abysmal Speed, fairly high Attack, and a very powerful STAB-boosted Gyro Ball make it one of UU's best and most threatening late-game sweepers. Beast Boost increases its already solid Attack after every KO, which gives it the ability to plow through certain defensive staples like Amoonguss and Gliscor with enough boosts and snowball against teams. Stakataka's good bulk also makes revenge killing it under Trick Room difficult for teams that lack Fighting-type priority, and while not perfect, Stakataka's defensive typing allows it to switch into and set up on common Pokemon such as Alolan Muk and Latias. However, Stakataka struggles with breaking through bulkier Ground- and Water-types such as Hippowdon, Mega Slowbro, and Swampert so it appreciates being paired with Grass-types like Serperior that can eliminate them and weaken other checks such as Cobalion and Doublade. Stakataka also harbors two 4x weaknesses to Fighting and Ground, so checks to Pokemon with these typings such as Latias and the aforementioned Serperior are also appreciated.

It's probably better to mention Swampert in the place of Suicune, since Suicune drops to Stone Edge into Z-Stone Edge assuming Trick Room is up. Swampert just counters Staka harder regardless anyways. Outside of that, looks good, 1/1

Stakataka's access to Trick Room coupled with its abysmal Speed, fairly high Attack, and access to a very powerful STAB-boosted Gyro Ball makes it one of UU's best and most threatening late-game sweepers. Beast Boost is a major part of what makes Stakataka so threatening, since it increases its already solid Attack after every KO, which gives it the ability to plow through certain defensive staples like Amoonguss and Gliscor with enough boosts and snowball against teams. Stakataka's good bulk also makes revenge killing it under Trick Room difficult for teams that lack Fighting-type priority, and while not perfect, Stakataka's defensive typing allows it to switch into and set up on common Pokemon such as Alolan Muk and Latias. However, Stakataka struggles with breaking through bulkier Ground- and Water-types such as Hippowdon, Mega Slowbro, and Swampert, which can threaten it out with super effective STAB moves,(a bit obvious) so it appreciates being paired with Grass-types like Serperior that can eliminate them and weaken other checks such as Cobalion and Doublade. Stakataka also harbors two 4x weaknesses to Fighting and Ground, so checks to Pokemon with these typings such as Latias and the aforementioned Serperior are also appreciated.
