Thwackey @ Life Orb
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Grassy Glide
- Wood Hammer
- Knock Off
- U-turn
Thwackey marches to the beat of its own drum in NFE! Thwackey thrives thanks to an incredible priority option in Grassy Glide, Knock Off to remove the all-encompassing Eviolite, and U-turn to position teammates. Thwackey's Grass-type STAB attacks are useful in hitting a lot of the metagame's top threats, such as Piloswine, Frogadier, and Quaxwell. Not only does Knock Off remove Eviolite, but it can OHKO Girafarig, which would aim to absorb Thwackey's Grass-type moves. Thwackey struggles to beat bulky Steel- and Grass-type Pokemon, such as Tinkatuff and Ivysaur, so Fire-type teammates such as Monferno and Raboot make excellent partners. In turn, Thwackey deals with the Water-types that slow these Fire-types down, as well as weakening Earthquake from Piloswine via Grassy Terrain. Since Thwackey forgoes Eviolite, defensive teammates such as Quaxwell make good partners. Additionally, Thwackey thrives on teams with an emphasis on pivot moves, pairing nicely with Frogadier, Raboot, and Pikachu.
