Thanks to Pecharunt's typing, high Defense stat, and solid utility movepool, it makes for a great defensive pivot with the ability to check Pokemon like Clefable, Mienshao, Tapu Bulu, and Buzzwole. Malignant Chain's 50% poison chance paired with Pecharunt's ability can disrupt bulky Ground- and Dark-types like Ting-Lu, Tyranitar, and Hippowdon, all of which would otherwise comfortably take its hits and threaten it with their STAB moves. Sludge Bomb is an alternative, with its PP and regular poison being better against Pokemon like Tyranitar that do not have the recovery and longevity to take multiple turns of damage. On the other hand, Pokemon with recovery do not enjoy the accumulation in damage from Toxic poison caused by Malignant Chain. Hex pairs nicely with both of Malignant Chain and Sludge Bomb's secondary effects. Night Shade is another option, being better against Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Celesteela that cannot reliably recover off the damage, whereas Hex is better against Pokemon weak to Ghost-type moves like Aegislash and Iron Boulder. Parting Shot gives free opportunities for Pecharunt's teammates to potentially wallbreak or attempt a sweep. Heavy-Duty Boots ensures Pecharunt does not fall in range of opposing attacks in the face of entry hazards while also giving it near unpunished opportunities to pivot in and out. Pecharunt's EV spread allows it to survive Earth Power from +1 Enamorus at full health, and the Speed EVs allow it to outspeed Aegislash and Magnezone that have a Speed-boosting nature. Pecharunt is a good fit on bulky offense and hazard-stacking teams, having the ability to spinblock and pivot in on the majority of physical attackers. Using the free switches afforded by its typing, Pecharunt can bring in threatening Pokemon like Mega Gardevoir, Aegislash, Hydrapple, and Iron Boulder to threaten a sweep or wallbreak. Pecharunt's inability to punish Steel-type Pokemon encourages the use of teammates that threaten them, namely the likes of Iron Moth, Mienshao, Victini, Mega Gallade, and Magnezone. Pecharunt also loves the presence of hazard setters in Ting-Lu, Skarmory, and Clefable, compounding damage from Malignant Chain's poison to make it more threatening. Pecharunt's lackluster Special Defense stat can leave it vulnerable to strong special attackers like Iron Moth, Hydreigon, and Alakazam; special walls such as Ting-Lu, Celesteela, and Slowking aid it in taking on these threats while also appreciating Pecharunt's ability to take on strong physical attackers.

Thanks to Pecharunt's typing, high Defense stat, and solid utility movepool it makes for a great defensive pivot with the ability to check Pokemon like Clefable, Mienshao, Tapu Bulu, and Buzzwole. Malignant Chain's 50% poison chance paired with Pecharunt's ability can disrupt bulky ground- and dark-types like Ting-Lu, Tyranitar, and Hippowdon, all of which would otherwise comfortably take its hits and threaten it with their STAB moves. Sludge Bomb is an alternative for the higher PP it provides, being more consistent over a longer game but lacking the ability to dish out Toxic poison Would probably explain why this is relevant. Against options like TTar, regular poison is sometimes better than Toxic, whereas against options with reliable healing moves, Toxic is preferred.. Hex is the STAB Ghost-type move of choice, pairing nicely with both of Malignant Chain and Sludge Bomb's secondary effects. Night Shade is another option to dent Pokemon with guaranteed damage, being apparent awkward work choice here for Pokemon without any form of recovery; however, this comes at the cost of being ineffective against Pokemon with recovery, especially those with a high base HP This is very vague and this sentence doesn't make too much sense to me. Particular examples of Pokemon that Night Shade hits better than Hex and that Hex hits better than Night Shade would help this flow better. Think Celesteela for the former, Aegislash/Boulder for the latter. Parting Shot gives free opportunities for its teammates to potentially break or attempt a sweep. Recover gives Pecharunt license to consistently come in on the Pokemon it checks over the course of games. Heavy-Duty Boots ensures Pecharunt does not fall in range of opposing attacks in the face of entry hazards while also giving it near unpunished opportunity to pivot in and out. Pecharunt's EV spread allows it to live Earth Power from +1 Enamorus at full health, and the speed EVs allow it to creep Jolly Aegislash and Timid Magnezone that have a Speed-boosting nature. Certain Aegislash sets can also run Timid, so the alternate wording here is preferred. Pecharunt is a good pivot option for bulky offense and hazard-stacking teams, using its ability to spinblock and pivot in on the majority of physical attacks to facilitate opportunities for teammates like Mega Gardevoir, Aegislash, Hydrapple, and Iron Boulder to threaten a sweep or wallbreak with the safe switch in and softening of opposing attacks from Parting Shot This is a mouthful. DM on Discord to discuss potential changes. Pecharunt's inability to punish Steel-type Pokemon encourages the use of Pokemon that threaten them, namely the likes of Iron Moth, Mienshao, Victini, and Mega Gallade You NEED to mention Magnezone somewhere in the teammates secton. Pecharunt loves the presence of hazard setters in Ting-Lu, Skarmory, and Clefable, compounding damage from Malignant Chain poison to make Pecharunt more threatening. Pecharunt's lackluster Special Defense stat can leave it vulnerable to strong Special attackers like Iron Moth, Hydreigon, and Alakazam, Special Walls such as Ting-Lu, Celesteela, and Slowking aid it in taking on these threats while also appreciating Pecharunt's ability to take on strong Physical attackers.

Thanks to Pecharunt's typing, high Defense stat, and solid utility movepool, (AC) it makes for a great defensive pivot with the ability to check Pokemon like Clefable, Mienshao, Tapu Bulu, and Buzzwole. Malignant Chain's 50% poison chance paired with Pecharunt's ability can disrupt bulky Ground- and Dark-types like Ting-Lu, Tyranitar, and Hippowdon, all of which would otherwise comfortably take its hits and threaten it with their STAB moves. Sludge Bomb is an alternative, having with its higher PP and regular poison being better into against Pokemon like Tyranitar (RC) which that do not have the recovery and longevity to take multiple turns of damage. (AP) On the other hand, where Pokemon with recovery do not enjoy the accumulation in damage from Toxic poison from caused by Malignant Chain. (split the original sentence to enhance readability) Hex is the STAB Ghost-type move of choice, pairing pairs (removed filler) nicely with both of Malignant Chain and Sludge Bomb's secondary effects. Night Shade is another option, being better against Pokemon like Ting Lu and Celesteela, which cannot reliably recover off the damage, with Hex being better into Pokemon weak to Ghost-type moves like Aegislash and Iron Boulder. Parting Shot gives free opportunities for its teammates to potentially break or attempt a sweep.
