Doubles Sylveon

Sylveon @ Leftovers
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hyper Voice
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
- Detect

Although it's on the rarer side, Sylveon is a potentially devastating sweeper that can set up on some of DOU's most dangerous special attackers while hitting both opponents. Thanks to its high Special Defense combined with Calm Mind, Sylveon can boost to a point where most special attackers such as Amoonguss and Volcanion can't even break its Substitute. Getting the initial Calm Mind boosts is made easier with Fake Out support from Incineroar and Rillaboom, with the former providing Intimidate support, patching up Sylveon's low Defense, and the latter providing Grassy Terrain recovery, which allows Sylveon to better heal any damage it takes from attacks and Substitute. Sylveon also enjoys Trick Room support from Pokemon such as Porygon2, allowing it to attack much more freely and boost before most attacks can connect. Once it does get set up, Sylveon can be quite threatening due to it reliably damaging most neutral targets, allowing them to be picked off by Sylveon's teammates. In addition, its Fairy-type STAB preys upon many common Pokemon, such as Kyurem-B, Zygarde, and Urshifu-R.

I don't know what the spread does but the Speed looks like creep, also Modest and max Defence trades 2 Def for 8 SpA. Please make Hyper Voice first or I will cry. Mentioning that Sylveon's a spread attacker is a big plus you haven't mentioned, probably going in the first sentence. Kyurem-B is an odd choice for being unable to break Substitute since it has Fusion Bolt (and is threatened anyways), Amoonguss seems like a much better example to me. Replace the mention of Zeraora with Incineroar, Intimidate (and Parting Shot) for physical attackers is an important asset. Trick Room could use an example setter (Porygon2). I feel the last sentence makes the damage against neutral targets sound like a bonus to hitting Fairy-weak Pokemon, when I would consider that the primary draw, so you should adjust that a bit.

Do these for QC 1/1.
