Moves
========

Rapid Spin allows Tsareena to remove entry hazards, letting teammates come in and out more easily. Power Whip is Tsareena's most powerful STAB move, giving it the best one-on-one matchup possible against opposing Stealth Rock setters like Hippowdon, Swampert, and Rhyperior. U-turn lets Tsareena keep up offensive momentum, safely bringing teammates into favorable positions. High Jump Kick hits other Stealth Rock users such as Cobalion, Stakataka, and Mega Aggron for respectable damage while also making Tsareena a great Bisharp revenge killer in combination with Queenly Majesty. Knock Off most notably punishes Ghost-types like Gengar, Doublade, and Chandelure, which can threaten to block Rapid Spin. Additionally, it can cripple common switch-ins such as Rotom-H, Togekiss, and Amoonguss by removing their items and potentially preventing their passive recovery. Synthesis is an alternative option to keep Tsareena at high amounts of health to more reliably perform its role, but this can be hard to justify over other move options.

Set Details
========

252 Speed EVs along with a Jolly nature guarantee that Tsareena outspeeds Pokemon such as Bisharp, Volcanion, and Adamant Mamoswine. Lum Berry lets Tsareena act as a more reliable check to bulky Pokemon like Suicune, Empoleon, and Hippowdon, curing it of the status ailments they induce. Queenly Majesty prevents priority moves from hitting Tsareena, allowing it to more easily revenge kill Bisharp, Scizor, and Crawdaunt if needed.

Usage Tips
========

Bring Tsareena into favorable positions against bulky Water- and Ground-types, which it can immediately threaten. The most notable examples include Stealth Rock setters such as Empoleon, Swampert, and Hippowdon, as well as other foes like Suicune, Slowbro, and bulky Primarina. Tsareena's main purpose tends to be keeping entry hazards off the user's field, meaning it should take advantage of these one-on-one matchups to use Rapid Spin. Knock Off is best used early-game to remove items of common switch-ins or to prevent Ghost-types from coming in to block Rapid Spin. Lum Berry allows Tsareena to come in aggressively on Scald and Toxic users like Suicune, Empoleon, and Hippowdon, but it should be more wary if its Berry has already been used. Keep Tsareena healthy if removing entry hazards appears to be a pressing priority at some point later on, or if it is necessary to handle a certain foe. Queenly Majesty blocks Bisharp's Sucker Punch and Scizor's Bullet Punch, so preserving Tsareena to revenge kill either one could prove beneficial as well. However, Scizor must be sufficiently weakened to do so. Take advantage of favorable positions by throwing out powerful attacks or using U-turn to keep up momentum, getting teammates into good spots to perform their roles. A common example is Choice Band Scizor locked into Bullet Punch, which Tsareena walls completely and can use to gain momentum.

Team Options
========

Tsareena is best used on bulky offense and balance teams that appreciate its Rapid Spin support and its ability to threaten bulky Water- and Ground-types. Tsareena possesses great defensive synergy with Water-types such as Volcanion, Slowbro, and Primarina, making them natural partners, as they can absorb Fire- and Ice-type moves aimed at it. Due to its weakness to Stealth Rock, Moltres takes full advantage of Tsareena's Rapid Spin support, as well as of its ability to threaten some of its main checks in Empoleon and Rhyperior. In return, Moltres punishes Amoonguss and bulky Steel-types like Mega Aggron and Doublade for Tsareena. Rotom-H and Nihilego offer great checks to Tsareena's primary counters in Flying-types, performing their respective roles after Tsareena gets them into favorable positions to do so with U-turn. Tsareena also removes Rotom-H's need to run Defog itself, freeing up a valuable moveslot. Grounded Poison-types such as Nidoking, Nidoqueen, and the aforementioned Nihilego are heavily appreciated, helping to alleviate some of Tsareena's occasional struggles in removing Toxic Spikes. Its Spikes support makes Klefki a nice partner, helping to wear down Amoonguss and bulky Steel-types as they continually switch into Tsareena. Mega Aerodactyl, Krookodile, and Scizor offer Pursuit utlity, making opposing Ghost-types more easily manageable if Tsareena lacks Knock Off. Mega Aerodactyl doubles as a strong answer to Flying-types.

• Knock Off most notably punishes Ghost-types like Gengar, Doublade, and Chandelure, which can threaten to block Rapid Spin. Additionally, it can cripple common switch-ins such as Rotom-H, Togekiss, and Amoonguss by removing their items and potentially preventing their passive recovery

• Take advantage of favorable positions by using U-turn to keep up momentum and get teammates into good spots to perform their roles
• (Talk about it's breaking capabilities a bit, while it is primarily to be used as hazard removal... if it is able to get a free turn vs some passive water/ground and mon and hazards aren't up to clear then it can choose to do some good damage w/ hazards + power whip or pivot w/ uturn).

• (Mention breakers that appreciate a pivot like Tsareena to give them free breaking opportunities, specifically ones that can pressure things that commonly switch into Tsareena).
• (Mention rockers that have good synergy with it. For example how Mega Aggron can come in Tsareena through U-Turning off of things like Malt/Togekiss for free rocks. Tsareena loves hazards in general because of the amount of switches it forces and because of it's damage output).
• (You can also mention Pursuit support (scarf krook, maero, cb sciz) if you're not running Knock Off because ghosts can get really irritating otherwise).

really good, QC 2/3

 

[Eyan]

Queenly Majesty blocks Bisharp's Sucker Punch and Scizor's Bullet Punch, so preserving Tsareena to revenge kill either one could prove beneficial as well.

Good to elaborate in terms of Scizor, since it doesn't revenge kill it easily like it does with Bisharp, especially with CB sets when they're locked into Bullet Punch, which forces it to switch out no matter what.
