[SET COMMENTS]
Togetic's unique dual defensive typing t paired with an Eviolite allows it to check common Fighting-types like Throh, Hitmontop, and Falinks, Dragon-types such as Vibrava and Drakloak, and Grass-types like Silvally-Grass and Leafeon. Defog is the primary reason to use Togetic; with its decent coverage, Togetic pressures our Defiant users, Falinks and Pawniard, pretty efficiently while still defeating Stealth Rock setters like Palpitoad and Carkol. Togetic’s passive nature is mitigated by the use of Thunder Wave, as offensive Pokemon that try to take advantage of it like Mr. Rime, Glaceon, Silvally-Rock, or Stonjourner do not appreciate being slowed down. Flamethrower, with an alternative spread of 248 HP /176 Def / 84 Spe, can be used to outspeed non-invested Mawile; paired with Serene Grace, Flamethrower has higher odds of burning your foe. Heal Bell is an option that gives your team a cleric, and an option to more freely use Defog on and defeat Stealth Rock users that run Toxic, like Palpitoad.
Togetic is passive in nature, so use it on balance or semi-stall teams, specifically which have a solid defensive backbone that can handle Ice-types like Mr. Rime, Glaceon, and Lapras, Rock-types such as Crustle and Stonjourner, and Electric-types like Raichu and Manectric. Palpitoad and Hippopotas are spectacular paired with Togetic, as they can defeat most Electric- and Rock-types that scare out Togetic. Pokemon that appreciate entry hazard removal are nice partners, especially those that can check Ice-types and appreciate the Fighting resistance and Heal Bell support that Togetic offers like Lapras and Glaceon, which pressure Pokemon that wall Togetic, like Mareanie and Roselia, respectively. Musharna and Beheeyem can weaken or KO Poison-types, giving Togetic a much easier time clicking Defog, while Togetic's Fairy typing is useful for Dark-types like Thievul, making these Pokemon have natural synergy and a strong defensive core against Fighting-types. Because Togetic despises losing its Eviolite, Knock Off absorbers are perfect teammates; these include Silvally formes, Throh, Mawile, Colbur Berry Musharna, and Dubwool. Dubwool in particular is a good partner for Togetic; it counters Pawniard trying to exploit Defog and acts as a Rock check for Togetic. Klang and Type: Null are also notable, as Klang and Type: Null can act as wincons that can check Ice-types that threaten Togetic, while Togetic handles the Fighting-types and Dubwool that Klang and Type: Null do not like dealing with.
