Bisharp @ Black Glasses
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Iron Head
- Knock Off
- Sucker Punch

Meet Bisharp, a good wallbreaker and semi-consistent Defog deterrent in UU. The combination of Swords Dance and Black Glasses allows Bisharp to threaten common defensive staples such as Slowking, Galarian Weezing, Sylveon, and Doublade, although Bisharp should be wary of carelessly switching into or setting up on them due to their coverage moves. Sucker Punch prevents Bisharp from being easily revenge killed by faster threats like Mamoswine, Lycanroc-D, and Noivern. However, Bisharp's middling Speed leaves it susceptible to bulkier Fighting-types such as Keldeo, Terrakion, and Cobalion that can comfortably tank a boosted Knock Off or Sucker Punch and force Bisharp out. Pairing Bisharp with checks to them such as Starmie, Noivern, and Slowbro is appreciated. Entry hazard setters such as Roserade and Araquanid value Bisharp deterring Defog with Defiant; in return, Spikes from Roserade helps put Mienshao in range of a +2 Sucker Punch, while Sticky Web from Araquanid allows Bisharp to outspeed would-be answers such as Obstagoon and Terrakion.

you should also comment on how defiant let’s it act as a risky defog deterrent for hazard stack teams
Meet Bisharp, one of UU's most dangerous wallbreakers. this is generous, very popular mons in coba, rak, Keldeo Obstagoon for instance easily resist ur +2 sucker, and bish can kinda get held back by its speed tier and typing at times. Coba and keld also just easily switch into you more then once, with coba abusing you for justified quite a bit. Utilizing the combination of Swords Dance and Black Glasses to empower its moves, Bisharp is able to threaten common defensive staples such as Slowking, Galarian Weezing, and Doublade. Its true but last two of these have a way to punish Bisharp for sding, as do others like Sylveon, I’d mention briefly how it’s not very risk free. Sucker Punch prevents Bisharp from being easily revenge killed by faster threats like Mamoswine, Lycanroc-D, and Noivern. However, Bisharp's middling Speed leaves it susceptible to prominent Fighting-types such as Keldeo, Terrakion, and Cobalion that can comfortably tank a Knock Off and force Bisharp out. as I said these also take +2 sucker easily which should also be tied into the point above. Pairing Bisharp with checks to them such as Starmie, Noivern, and Slowbro is appreciated. I’d like to see comment about hazard setters too like Roserade to help chip down bish checks, and how defiant plays into this
Tag me when you have implemented this :)

edit: is now showing as wip my bad said was ready before when I checked it :confused:

Meet Bisharp, a good wallbreaker and Defog deterrent in UU. you have some leftover characters so i'd like to clarify that while it does deter Defog, its not an amazingly consistent deterrent as every common defogger has ways of either crippling it with will-o-wisp or OHKOing it on switch in. The combination of Swords Dance and Black Glasses allows Bisharp to threaten common defensive staples such as Slowking, Galarian Weezing, and Doublade, Mention sylveon here too, although Bisharp should be wary of carelessly setting up and switching into them due to their coverage moves. Sucker Punch prevents Bisharp from being easily revenge killed by faster threats like Mamoswine, Lycanroc-D, and Noivern. However, Bisharp's middling Speed leaves it susceptible to prominent Fighting-types such as Keldeo, Terrakion, and Cobalion that can comfortably tank a Knock Off or Sucker Punch, even when boosted, and force Bisharp out. Pairing Bisharp with checks to them such as Starmie, Noivern, and Slowbro is appreciated. Entry hazard setters such as Roserade and Araquanid value Bisharp deterring Defog with Defiant; in return, they can wear down checks such as Mienshao and Rhyperior. I'm not really a fan of the Rhyperior mention, while its true that Rhyperior is often running more physially defensive spreads right now it's still pretty reliant on not getting iron head flinched. It would be more appropriate to split the two mentions and say how spikes can put Mienshao in range of +2 sucker punch, while webs allow bisharp to outspeed would be answers like Obstagoon and Terrakion.
QC 1/1 once implemented :)

Sucker Punch prevents Bisharp from being easily revenge killed by faster threats like Mamoswine, Lycanroc-D, and Noivern. However, Bisharp's middling Speed leaves it susceptible to prominent Fighting-types such as Keldeo, Terrakion, and Cobalion that can comfortably tank switch into a boosted Knock Off or Sucker Punch, even when boosted, and force Bisharp out. (If they switch into Sucker Punch, they won't take damage at all. If they're already in, forget about even trying Sucker Punch.) Pairing Bisharp with checks to them such as Starmie, Noivern, and Slowbro is appreciated. Entry hazard setters such as Roserade and Araquanid value Bisharp deterring Defog with Defiant; in return, Spikes from Roserade helps put Mienshao in range of a +2 Sucker Punch, while Sticky Web from Araquanid allows Bisharp to outspeed would-be answers such as Obstagoon and Terrakion.

Thanks for the check, Empress ! For this sentence, is there a way to modify it to keep the Sucker Punch part? That information is important to keep since these Fighting-types are harder to revenge kill with Sucker Punch than other frailer Fighting-types like Mienshao.

Ah, I might've misunderstood the intent of the sentence. If that's what you want to emphasize, perhaps you can try:

"However, Bisharp's middling Speed leaves it susceptible to bulkier Fighting-types such as Keldeo, Terrakion, and Cobalion that can comfortably tank a boosted Knock Off or Sucker Punch and force Bisharp out."
