Hello, I hope this analysis on Sylveon is good, because it is a very good mon, here I give my reasons, it is an eighth generation analysis taking into account the gigamax or dynamax mechanics (I don't know which one it was)
PD: I clarify that it is my first post in Smogon, so if there is anything I can improve, I would be grateful to be told
Description:
Thanks to the new gigamax mechanics introduced, Sylveon manages to be very powerful, has a new toy, Mystical Fire, which is converted thanks to the gigamax in Max Flare, now you can also use Hyper Beam gigamax while you can, it is an excellent breaker to take consider. Apart he gets the Throat Spray, this makes Vozarron do it and then his special attack increases and it no longer depends on the Choice Specs and finally with Mind Mindstorm he can break Toxapex perfectly
But nevertheless it has a low physical defense and speed, which makes it quite vulnerable to Charizard gmax for example, apart from that there is another fairy (Alcremie) which gives it competition, Clefable leaves it without a defensive niche for better abilitys and Alcremie has CM + Recover.
In spite of this, this pokemon fits in a large part of the offensive or balanced playstyles (maybe in some other stall) in this last generation (something that in USM
did not happen) and positions it as one of the best wallbreakers.
Set:
(Sylveon) (F) @ Throat Spray
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 120 HP / 252 SpA / 136 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hyper Voice
- Hyper Beam
- Mystical Fire
- Psyshock
Idea of the Set and Moveset: Basically the idea of this set is to wipe out all the mons you can while in its gigamax form (although to a lesser extent, you can attack without it), Hyper Voice is your main attack to activate your object, Hyper Beam is so that while in the state of gmax, I managed to do good damage, Mystical Fire for steels like Ferrothorn or Aegislash, apart from Max Flare doing great damage, Psyshock for Mind Mindstorm to do 1HKO to Toxapex
Set Details: Full in Special Attack to attack very strongly with their attacks, 136 in Speed, to overcome Conkeldurr Adamant and 120 in HP to endure better.
Throat Spray, so that Hyper Voice enters and activates, increasing its special attack to +1.5 as if they were choice specs.
Tips: Use it when you have taken care of their counters, vs Stall use it in the first turns, since it can weaken Chansey in two strokes (this advice goes only in National Dex) and the others weakens them in one blow
Team Options:
This set has problems against Charizard gmax and Excadrill, so a good partner would be a mon that stops both, Gastrodon is probably a good companion, a mon lead like Mew would never hurt, since with spikes + SR + Toxic Spikes you can to weaken many mons, they wear out and they eat damage, you can arm them together with some steel like Corviknight, Ferrothorn, etc ...
Best Playstyle: His best playstyle is Balanced or HO Spikes
Calcs gmax
Vs Stall:
+1 252+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 364-429 (51.7 - 61%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+1 252+ SpA Sylveon Mystical Fire vs. 252 HP / 232+ SpD Ferrothorn: 548-648 (155.6 - 184%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+1 252+ SpA Sylveon Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Toxapex: 288-340 (94.7 - 111.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock and Black Sludge recovery
+1 252+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Clefable: 622-733 (157.8 - 186%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Other calcs:
+1 252+ SpA Sylveon Mystical Fire vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Skarmory: 472-556 (118 - 139%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+1 252+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Excadrill: 407-479 (112.4 - 132.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+1 252+ SpA Sylveon Mystical Fire vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Darmanitan: 666-784 (189.7 - 223.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
