Pixilate + Boomburst, solid natural bulk, and a good Speed tier make Scream Tail a powerful offensive threat that easily takes on a long list of common foes, most notably Roaring Moon, Gengar, Hisuian Zoroark, and Iron Moth. Psyshock allows Scream Tail to effectively threaten special walls like Blissey and Clodsire. Flamethrower hits Steel-types like Iron Treads and Tinkaton. Trick is helpful to cripple defensive switch-ins like Toxapex and Garganacl. Scream Tail struggles against Well-Baked Body Steel-types like Corviknight, so teammates that threaten them like Kilowattrel and Sandy Shocks pair well with it. Cinderace, Kingambit, and other physical attackers can remove special walls such as Florges, allowing Scream Tail to more easily tear through teams. Scream Tail also appreciates entry hazard setters like Ting-Lu and Greninja to weaken foes like Corviknight and make them easier to KO. Entry hazard removers like Donphan and Iron Treads, along with pivots like Corviknight, are necessary due to Scream Tail's lack of recovery letting chip damage wear it down.
