UU: Choice Specs Sylveon: [GP: 1/1]


Sylveon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Mystical Fire
- Psyshock
- Shadow Ball

Choice Specs Sylveon is an amazing wallbreaker in UU; its great bulk and typing allow it to force out common Pokemon like Noivern and Flygon, and its Pixilate-boosted Hyper Voice is very hard to switch into for most teams. Many of its checks, such as Bronzong, Escavalier, and Assault Vest Reuniclus, can be hit super effectively by Mystical Fire or Shadow Ball. Poison-types such as Roserade and Galarian Weezing can be handled with Psyshock. Darmanitan, Swords Dance Incineroar, and Pangoro are all great answers to Sylveon's aforementioned switch-ins; the former two can also wear down Gigalith and bring Sylveon in on Rotom-W with U-turn. Copperajah and Escavalier make great partners, with Copperajah providing Stealth Rock support and Escavalier checking Haxorus. Both also help Sylveon with Poison-types such as Roserade. Choice Specs Sylveon also pairs well with Pokemon such as Haxorus and Lucario due to its ability to function as an early-game wallbreaker, weakening the likes of Escavalier and Doublade to facilitate a late-game sweep.

Choice Specs Sylveon is an amazing Wallbreaker in UU, with is great bulk allowing it to switch-in to the likes of Noivern and Umbreon, these examples aren't really great, hurricane noivern can hit these uninvested sets really hard and runs the risk of confusion too, so its only really a good idea to directly switch into sets lacking it otherwise you'll severely limit your Sylveon, while Umbreon just protect scouts you and makes switching into your fairly trivial. You should talk about how its solid bulk and typing instead allow it to force out common Pokemon like Noivern, Flygon, CB Pangoro. and its Pixilate Boosted Hyper Voices simply just lack switchins. Well as you say after, it does have switch-ins, reword this a little. What switchins it has, such as Bronzong, Escavalier and AV Reuniclus, can be hit Super-Effectively such as Mystical Fire and Shadow Ball. Poison-types such as Roserade and Galarian Weezing can be handled with Psyshock. Darmanitan and Pangoro Include a mention of SD Incineroar, which can switch into the above Steel-types, and remove Gigalith for Sylveon. are great answers to Sylveons aforementioned switchins, along with having pivoting options to bring Sylveon in on a predicted switch. fix this so it doesn't read like Pangoro has pivoting, comment specifically on Pokemon they bring Sylv in on like Rotom-Wash. Choice Specs Sylveon also pairs well with Pokemon such as Haxorus and Lucario due to its ability to function as an early-game wallbreaker, mention how Specs Sylveon can weaken Escavalier to facilitate this for hax facilitating a late-game sweep.

seeing as you have like 250 characters free to use still, add a mention of Escavalier/Copperajah as partners, which can help to pressure your checks like Bronzong/Reuniclus/Gigalith. Escav also helps you to check Haxorus, which you cant do very reliably with Specs Sylv, while Copperajah can provid rocks to chip away at your switch ins and offensively check Escavalier for you.
Tagging Estarossa for a qc check if they could

was told this was ready for another look on disc. This looks good, trimmed a few sentences to cut down character count a little, but otherwise QC 1/1
