Thwackey @ Grassy Seed
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Grassy Glide
- Knock Off
- Acrobatics
Thwackey is one of the scariest sweepers in NFE. With strong priority in Grassy Glide, Knock Off to remove the ever-present Eviolites, and Swords Dance to bolster its Attack to terrifying levels, it is hard to deal with consistently. The most common checks to it are bulky Grass-types like Roselia and Tangela; however, Acrobatics lets Thwackey reliably KO them and is also its best option for hitting Vullaby. Thwackey takes advantage of Grassy Seed + Grassy Surge to get a Defense boost alongside full-strength Acrobatics, letting it withstand priority from the likes of Raboot. However, it's still vulnerable to special attackers, as it has no substitute for Eviolite's Special Defense boost. Teammates that appreciate opposing Grass-types being removed like Wartortle and Electabuzz make for good teammates, as they can put in a lot of work once Thwackey has cleared the way for them.
