[SET COMMENTS]
Set Description
========
Since its debut in DPP, Togekiss has always been irritating thanks to the combination of Air Slash + Serene Grace. It has a 60% chance to flinch but only if it goes first, therefore it is recommended to equip her with a Choice Scarf. This allows the Jubilee Pokemon to flinch some Pokemon to their very death. Trick is used to cripple Pokemon such as Ferrothorn, Toxapex, Registeel, and certain Snorlax sets. Flamethrower is used to eliminate most Steel-types, such as Ferrothorn, Registeel, and non-Scarf Genesect. Lastly, Aura Sphere hits Fire-resistant Steel types and Rock types as well. Those examples include Heatran.
EVs
========
Togekiss needs Max Speed so it can outrun most Pokemon and flinch them. Max SpAtk is recommended as well to make those moves hit hard. 4 SpDef is used to cushion against special attacks more.
Strategy & Support
========
Togekiss needs to spam Air Slash on an unresisted Pokemon everytime. If you're lucky, you may even get a flinch to death. This might sound like an easy win, but be careful some Air Slashes might not flinch or maybe just miss. Togekiss also has another problem - the prevalence of Steel types make this hard. Therefore you have both Flamethrower and Aura Sphere to decimate them. With berry Snorlax and some stall Pokemon being common, Trick is used to hand them the Choice Scarf, meaning they can only choose one move. Then Togekiss proceeds to flinch them to death (maybe)
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
A Thunder Wave and Roost set can be used with Leftovers, but it loses to Pokemon that can stall Togekiss, walled by Heatran, and doesn't have much initial speed.
Checks and Counters
===================
**Electric-types**: Electric types such as Regieleki and Zeraora has a blazingly high Speed stat that will KO Togekiss before it has a chance. They are also immune to paralysis and Togekiss doesn't have a reliable Ground-type move.
**Galarian Darmanitan**: GDarm in general outspeeds Togekiss and hits her hard with Icicle Crash, which will definitely OHKO her.
**Jirachi**: Jirachi is another flinch hax Pokemon, but it has edges over Togekiss due to its higher speed and Steel typing, which makes it hard for Togekiss to go around.
