Galbia
Kushalos
Discount Vigoroth (Monferno) @ Eviolite
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Slack Off
- Stealth Rock / Taunt / U-turn
- Fire Punch / Low Kick
Defensive utility monferno is solid, it has a lot of value in team disruption and can check pretty much all the Grass and Fire types in the tier while still scaring things out before they know ur not offensive
Monferno @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- U-Turn
- Thunder Punch
- Flare Blitz
- Close Combat
Normally, you'd be using Adamant Scarf if anything, given Jolly's offensive presence can be lackluster sometimes. But, since the tier shifts happened, Jolly has actually become more useful overall.
Adamant Scarf hits 391 Speed total, and really only outspeeds +1 Fraxure (384 Speed), if we're talking about threats with boosted Speed that need to be revenge killed. But, when using Jolly (430), Monferno is now able to outspeed Modest Gorebyss after a Shell Smash (406), and Modest Exeggutor in sun (418).
With Balance / BO falling out of style, threats like RP Regice (398), RP Adamant 252 Spe Relicanth (418), CB Ninjask (419), and Modest Scarf Chatot (420) have also shot up in usage. Jolly Scarf Monferno outspeeds and has SE coverage for all of these at 430 Speed, and gives you a degree of protection by revenging these threats.
I vote for Megazard (the set is quite good and it is similar to Infernape's defensive moveset in OU so it should work)

Reserving 3 attacks roost bc I'm not home for 5 hours
Vullaby @ Eviolite
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 200 HP / 252 Def / 56 Spe
Impish Nature
- Brave Bird
- U-turn
- Roost
- Foul Play
So if u don't need/want defog, brave bird is a cool option. Run enough speed for machoke, beat uninvested roselia, 2hko the suckers. Flying STAB is fun, I've used this on serious teams that just didn't need the defog support, it's solid although inferior like 99% of the time because why the fuck aren't you running defog

Vullaby (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Impish Nature
- U-turn
- Foul Play
- Tailwind
- Roost
Like Megazard's set, this is something you can use if you don't really need Defog. It's just your standard defensive Vullaby but with Tailwind. You can come in on something you have no problem checking, click Tailwind, then U-turn out into a slow wallbreaker like Banded Stoutland or Specs Exeggutor and dent. Enjoy!
