AG [AG] Vivillon

QC: Catalystic / MZ / Lotiasite
GP: Also Lotiasite?!?!?! / TDPJ
[OVERVIEW]

Due to the lack of Sleep Clause and viable Sleep Talk users, Vivillon uniquely stands out as a premier sleep inducer and Quiver Dance sweeper, able to take advantage of guaranteed sleep turns to reliably set up Substitutes and Quiver Dances due to Compound Eyes Sleep Powder. However, Vivillon sits in a somewhat awkward Speed tier, leaving it outsped by Yveltal, Mega Rayquaza, Marshadow, Arceus, and Ultra Necrozma before it starts boosting with Quiver Dance. Furthermore, Vivillon is incredibly frail and doesn't have the best defensive typing, so it's 4x weak to the ubiquitous Stealth Rock, doesn't have room in its moveset for a reliable recovery option like Roost, and is picked off fairly easy by priority users such as Arceus, Mega Rayquaza, and Marshadow. This makes it hard for Vivillon to set up, since it needs team support and can only set up against slower foes. Nevertheless, Vivillon is the very definition of a Pokemon in the Anything Goes metagame that can spiral out of control easily if not immediately assessed as a threat, and although it is somewhat niche, it can be a dangerous threat if left unchecked.

Moves
========

Sleep Powder works well in tandem with Compound Eyes and generates free turns for Vivillon to set up a Substitute and boost with Quiver Dance. Substitute shields Vivillon from status, gives it more opportunities to take advantage of sleep, and most importantly prevents it from being revenge killed after the opposing Pokemon wakes up. Quiver Dance allows Vivillon to outspeed the entire metagame after just two boosts and dish out powerful Hurricanes. Hurricane is Vivillon's strongest STAB move and works well in tandem with Compound Eyes. This is complemented by the fact that Flying is one of the best offensive types in Anything Goes, further cementing Vivillon's place as a great setup sweeper.

Set Details
========

Maximum Speed EVs alongside a Timid nature allow Vivillon to outspeed a large majority of the metagame to put them to sleep effectively. 136 Defense EVs allows Vivillon to survive several notable priority moves from full, such as Life Orb Mega Rayquaza's Extreme Speed and Life Orb Arceus's Extreme Speed. The remaining 120 Special Attack EVs help make Vivillon a fearsome setup sweeper. Leftovers gives Vivillon a passive recovery option and allows it to set up Substitute multiple times throughout the match. Compound Eyes is the focal point of using Vivillon, as it boosts the accuracy of both Sleep Powder and Hurricane to above 90%, which is crucial for it securing a sweep.

Usage Tips
========

Teammates should try to lay Stealth Rock, Sticky Web, and as many layers of Spikes as possible before you attempt to sweep with Vivillon. Vivillon is quite frail and should try to switch in after a teammate has fainted and the opposing Pokemon is guaranteed to be slower than it. Once brought in against a slower Pokemon such as Zygarde or Primal Groudon, Vivillon should use Sleep Powder to put the opposing Pokemon or its switch-in to sleep. From there, Vivillon can set up a free Substitute and start boosting with Quiver Dance. If the foe wakes up on the second sleep turn and breaks Vivillon's Substitute, use Sleep Powder again to put them back to sleep and set up another Substitute. Remember that there is no Sleep Clause in Anything Goes, so Vivillon can put all of the opposing team to sleep if need be. Once Vivillon has successfully set up six Quiver Dances and its Substitute is still intact, begin firing off super powerful Hurricanes until the opposing team is defeated. However, Vivillon should be wary of priority users such as Arceus and Mega Rayquaza. Marshadow is also a huge threat that must be played around carefully; if Vivillon puts a Pokemon to sleep and then uses Substitute as Marshadow switches in, Vivillon can be KOed by Spectral Thief. Using Quiver Dance over Substitute is optimal if the opponent has a Marshadow lurking in the back. If Vivillon is behind a Substitute, it's generally safe to use Sleep Powder as they break the Substitute. Removing or severely crippling priority users with teammates should be made a top priority if utilizing Vivillon. Stealth Rock is also crucial to remove before Vivillon is brought in and attempts to sweep.

Team Options
========

Deoxys-S and Excadrill are two of the best entry hazard stacking leads for the hyper offensive teams Vivillon fits best on. Excadrill has additional utility options such as Rapid Spin to remove Stealth Rock for Vivillon and Rock Tomb to let Vivillon outspeed the foe, put it to sleep, and start boosting with Quiver Dance. Primal Groudon is also notable as another Rock Tomb and Stealth Rock user that can forcibly slow down the foe and create extra opportunities for Vivillon to set up. Dedicated Sticky Web leads such as Shuckle, Smeargle, and Slurpuff can assist Vivillon by slowing down the opposing team, allowing it to put foes naturally faster than it such as Arceus-Dark and Choice Scarf Xerneas to sleep before it sets up the first Quiver Dance. These Sticky Web users are also able to provide additional utility options such as Encore, Stealth Rock, Spore, and Endeavor. Hazard removal from Pokemon such as Arceus-Fairy and Yveltal is a necessity for Vivillon to sweep, increases the likelihood that its sweep will not be interrupted, and is already a fundamental part of teambuilding. Removing Stealth Rock from play also decreases the likelihood that Vivillon will be picked off by opposing priority. Other hyper offensive teammates such as Dragon Dance Mega Rayquaza, Calm Mind Arceus-Steel, Choice Scarf Xerneas, and Double Dance Primal Groudon all appreciate the sleep support and Hurricane chipping Vivillon provides even if its sweep proves unsuccessful.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Bug Buzz utilizes Vivillon's primary STAB move, is perfectly accurate unlike Hurricane, and nails Psychic- and Dark-type Pokemon such as Mega Mewtwo Y and Arceus-Dark.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Stealth Rock**: Having to switch into Stealth Rock is not ideal for Vivillon as it begins to set up and sweep, as it needs as much health as possible to guarantee that it can set up multiple Substitutes and take a priority move if need be.

**Priority Users**: Strong priority users such as Mega Rayquaza, Marshadow, and Arceus can proactively threaten to KO Vivillon once its Substitute has faded or act as a revenge killers. However, they are all scared of taking a boosted Hurricane.

**Faster Attackers**: Pokemon that exceed the base 90 Speed benchmark such as Arceus-Steel and Mega Gengar can outspeed an unboosted Vivillon and KO it. Mega Mewtwo Y is one of the best examples, as it can switch into a predicted Sleep Powder due to Insomnia.

**Perish Song Arceus**: Certain Arceus formes such as Arceus-Rock, Arceus-Fairy, and Arceus-Poison can utilize Perish Song to force Vivillon to either switch out or be KOed. Their base 120 all-around defensive stats also allow them to withstand a boosted Hurricane or two. However, this is a short-term solution, as Vivillon can easily set up again at another point in time.

**Status Ailments**: Bad poison or paralysis stops Vivillon from performing its role as a setup sweeper. However, inducing Vivillon with status is easier said than done, as most of the time Vivillon will set up a Substitute. Vivillon can also still generate free turns for teammates by putting foes to sleep.

**Phazers**: Specially defensive phazers such as Primal Groudon, Tyranitar, and Lugia can take a couple of boosted Hurricanes after they have been put to sleep and Roar or Whirlwind Vivillon out when they wake up. However, these Pokemon risk taking a substantial amount of damage and are ultimately last-resort options.

[OVERVIEW]

• Vivillon differentiates itself from other Flying-types in the metagame such as Mega Rayquaza, Yveltal, and Arceus-Flying with its access to a nearly accurate Mention either 98% or nearly perfectly accruate Sleep Powder, amazing boosting move in Quiver Dance, and strong STAB attack in Hurricane.
• Due to the lack of Sleep Clause and viable Sleep Talk users, Vivillon has an easy time keeping the snowball rolling, outspeeding the entire metagame bar Deoxys-Speed after just a single Quiver Dance, putting all of its opponents to sleep which guarantees Vivillon free Substitutes, and continuing to boost until its gets to +6 Special Attack to sweep.Too much info, just mention that it can abuse sleep for setup
• However, Vivillon also sits in a somewhat awkward speed tier, leaving it outsped by Support Arceus forms, Mega Rayquaza, and Ultra Necrozma Mention more key offensive threats like Yveltal, M-Ray, Marsh, etc. before it starts boosting with Quiver Dance.
• Vivillon doesn’t have the greatest bulk or defensive typing either, as it’s 4x weak to the ubiquitous Stealth Rock, doesn’t have room in its moveset for a reliable recovery option like Roost, and is picked off fairly easy by priority users such as Arceus, Deoxys-Attack, and Mega LucarioRayquaza-Mega, Marshadow. This makes its hard for Vivillon to set up the first Quiver Dance.
• Nevertheless, Vivillon is the very definition of a Pokemon in the Anything Goes metagame that can spiral out of control easily if not immediately assessed as a threat. Mention that it's niche but can be very dangerous

• Substitute shields Vivillon from status and gives it more opportunites to abuse sleep, and more importantly prevents it from being revenge killed after the opposing Pokemon wakes up.
• Quiver Dance boosts Vivillon's Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed by one stage with each use, allowing it to outspeed the entire metagame after just two boosts, 2HKO even the bulkiest of special walls such as Chansey, and not become susceptible to special attacking Sleep Talk users such as Xerneas.Don't need that, just mention that it allows Viv to dish out damage
• Hurricane is Vivillon's strongest STAB move and works well in tandem with Compound Eyes and the fact that Flying-types resists in Anything Goes are few and far between.Flying resists are everything (e.g. steel types) but flying is just a fantastic offensive typing in general

Set Details
========
Fix section to account for the EV changes

• Maximum Speed EVs alongside a Timid nature allows for Vivillon to outspeed and put asleep a large majority of the metagame.
• Maximum Special Attack EVs help make Vivillon a fearsome setup sweeper.
• Leftovers gives Vivillon a passive recovery option and allows for it to setup Substitute multiple times throughout the match.
• Compound Eyes is the focal point of using Vivillon, as it boosts the accuracy of both Sleep Powder and Hurricane to above 90%, which is crucial for it securing a sweep.

Usage Tips
========

• Vivillon is quite frail and should try to switch in after a teammate has fainted and the opposing Pokemon is guaranteed slower than it.
• Vivillon once brought in against a slower Pokemon such as Magearna Kinda a bad example since Mage can heart swap -> volt switch into m-ray, try using like Zygarde or Primal Groudon should use Sleep Powder to put the opposing Pokemon or its switch-in to sleep. From there Vivillon can set up a free Substitute and start boosting with Quiver Dance.
• If the opponent wakes up on the second sleep turn and breaks Vivillon's Substitute, use Sleep Powder again to put them back to sleep and set up another Substitute. Remember that there is no Sleep Clause in Anything Goes, so Vivillon can put all of the opposing team asleep if need be.
• Once Vivillon has successfully set up six Quiver Dances and its Substitute is still intact, begin firing off super powerful Hurricanes until the opposing team is defeated.

Team Options
========

• Pokemon such as Arceus-Fairy, Arceus-Ground, and Girantina-O that can remove entry hazards for Vivillon are essential in making sure it can reliable setup Substitute multiple times.
• Vivillon appreciates checks to some of the most common priority user such as Mega Rayquaza and Arceus. Arceus-Rock and Celesteela can check to former while Marshadow and Zygarde-Complete can check the latter. With priority users removed, Vivillon’s chances of successfully sweeping the opposing team are greatly multiplied.
• Primal Ground and Lugia are able phaze Vivillon out, so teammates such as Mega Rayquaza, Primal Kyogre, Ingrain Z-Geomancy Xerneas, and Arceus-Steel make good partners to weaken or remove these dangerous checks to Vivillon.
• Pokemon such as Mega Rayquaza, Ho-oh, and Yveltal can be used alongside Vivillon as a Flying spam core that breaks down typical Flying-type checks such as Arceus-Rock and Magearna.

Unfortunately, since Vivillon almost solely belongs on hyper offense, these team options are mostly invalid. You can try some of these:

• Excadrill and Deoxys Speed are better options for setting hazards w/o rocks on your side; exca has the added benefit of throwing out rock tombs to allow viv to go faster
• Mention general HO offensive threats that appreciate Viv giving fatter builds toruble, such as Yveltal, DD M-ray, SD Arceus-Normal, Dd Zyg, Geomancy Xern, etc.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

• Bug Buzz utilizes Vivillon’s primary STAB, is perfectly accurate unlike Hurricane, and nails Psychic- and Dark-type Pokemon such as Mega Mewtwo Y and Arceus-Dark. However, Anything Goes has an abundance of Bug-type resists compared to Flying-type resists including Primal Groudon, Arceus-Fairy, Arceus-Poison, and Marshadow, making Bug Buzz an inferior choice.So bigger problem with bug buzz is that it's weaker overall and hurricane's confusion chance actually is quite helpful
• Energy Ball nails Rock-types such as Arceus-Rock that check Vivillon, as well as Water- and Ground-types such as Arceus-Water, Primal Kyogre, and Arceus-Ground. Again, Hurricane already hits these threats neutrally and receives a STAB, unlike Energy Ball which does nothing to threats like Mega Rayquaza and Ho-Oh.Probably unnecessary
• Vivillon has several other support options such as Tailwind and Endeavor, but is too frail to make use of them and is generally outclassed in these roles.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Stealth Rock**: Stealth Rock strips away half of Vivillon's health with each switch in and are not ideal for Vivillon as it begins to setup and sweep as it needs as much health as possible to guarantee that it sets up multiple Substitutes and take a priority move if need be.

**Flying-type resists**: While Vivillon can take out common Flying-type resists such as Magearna, Arceus-Rock, and Arceus-Steel, it takes a significant number of boosts to knock out and can drain Hurricane's PP so that Vivillon can't sweep. Magearna also has access to Z-Heal Bell while Arceus-Rock and Arceus-Steel have access to Recover. These recovery options further make it difficult for Vivillon to KO them.

**Special Walls**: Some Pokemon such as Defensive Ho-oh and Chansey have the natural raw bulk needed to take on Vivillon without resisting Hurricane. In fact, Vivillon can't get within range of OHKOing Defensive Ho-oh or 2HKOing Chansey without all six Quiver Dance boosts, and even then, their access to reliable recovery moves in Roost and Softboiled makes it even harder for Vivillon.
Viv can actually boost past all of these with the utilization of sleep, confusion, and +6 boosted hurricanes. Try adding these:

• Priority
• Faster attackers
• Perish Song
• Status (toxic just makes viv useless)

**Phazers**: Specially defensive phazers such as Primal Groudon and Lugia can take a couple of boosted Hurricanes after they have been put to sleep and Roar or Whirlwind Vivillon out when they wake up. However, these Pokemon risk taking a substantial amount of damage and are ultimately last resort options.

Good work overall, but definitely needs a bit more work.

[OVERVIEW]

• Vivillon differentiates itself from other Flying-types in the metagame such as Mega Rayquaza, Yveltal, and Arceus-Flying with its access to a nearly perfectly accurate Sleep Powder, amazing boosting move in Quiver Dance, and strong STAB attack in Hurricane. i don't think this is a good comparison to start off bc vivillon doesnt really function like a flying type. it functions as a sleep user, a wholly unique kind of mon in the AG meta. that is where id start, not a comparison to mega rayquaza which is never going to look fair
• Due to the lack of Sleep Clause and viable Sleep Talk users, Vivillon can abuse guaranteed sleep turns to reliably setup Substitutes and Quiver Dances and sweep. this could be a bit longer, it's basically 1 sentence to skip past the entirety of its niche and threat level. idc if u fix it in writeup, but people need to be absolutely clear on what it does and why it's a threat for this analysis to be worth anything
• However, Vivillon also sits in a somewhat awkward speed tier, leaving it outsped by Yveltal, Mega Rayquaza, Marshadow, and Ultra Necrozma before it starts boosting with Quiver Dance. yeah and a lot more than that, this is a huge understatement. where you should be going is this into the bulk thing, where if anything hits this slightly slow, quite frail butterfly, it just dies, so you have to be super duper careful
• Vivillon doesn’t have the greatest bulk or defensive typing either, as it’s 4x weak to the ubiquitous Stealth Rock, doesn’t have room in its moveset for a reliable recovery option like Roost, and is picked off fairly easy by priority users such as Arceus, Mega Rayquaza, and Marshadow. This makes its hard for Vivillon to set up.
• Nevertheless, Vivillon is the very definition of a Pokemon in the Anything Goes metagame that can spiral out of control easily if not immediately assessed as a threat, and although it is somewhat niche, can be a dangerous threat if left unchecked.

• Quiver Dance boosts Vivillon's Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed by one stage with each use, allowing it to outspeed the entire metagame after just two boosts and dish out powerful Hurricanes.

• Once Vivillon has successfully set up six Quiver Dances and its Substitute is still intact, begin firing off super powerful Hurricanes until the opposing team is defeated.

telling people about the main process to the only thing it does is important but there are a few other things to mention like how to be wary of priority users, trying to get rocks off first, trying to get webs up first, watching out for surprise mmy shrugging off sleep, and the dangers of instantly subbing if they have a marsh because spectral thief goes right through that shit

Team Options
========

• Excadrill and Deoxys-Speed are two of the best hazard stacking leads for the hyper offensive teams Vivillon fits best on yes i agree but only if the team is specifically planning to not have webs. Excadrill has additional utility options such as Rapid Spin to remove Stealth Rock for Vivillon, as well as Rock Tomb so that Vivillon can outspeed the foe, put it asleep, and start boosting with Quiver Dance.
• Vivillion gives bulkier teams trouble by spreading sleep, which is appreciated by hyper offensive teammates such as Yveltal, Dragon Dance Mega Rayquaza, Swords Dance Arceus, Dragon Dance Zygarde-C, Double Dance Primal Groudon, and Geomancy Xerneas, opening opportunities for them to clean late-game. In return, several of these Pokemon can incomplete but honestly i don't really get this point. vivillon should be your end goal sweeper, listing like 7 threats that can clean up after is kinda odd, the best justification i can think of is how these pokemon might end up fitting on the same offensive teams viv does, but not exactly for this reason. they all pressure opponents into places where vivillon might be able to set up, giving them less leeway to keep pressuring vivillon
• Sticky Web users such as Smeargle, Shuckle, and Slurpuff can assist Vivillon by making the opposition slower, allowing it to put asleep foes naturally faster than it such as Arceus-Dark and Choice Scarf Lunala before its sets up the first Quiver Dance.
• Pokemon such as Mega Rayquaza, Ho-oh, and Yveltal can be used alongside Vivillon as a Flying spam core that breaks down typical Flying-type checks such as Arceus-Rock and Magearna. i really don't agree, vivillon doesnt really need or provide flying spam if you play with it. it's just something else entirely. would drop unless you feel quite strongly about this

uh, i guess rock tomb pdon can forcibly slow stuff down for vivillon to get extra setup opportunities. also i suppose mention hazard removers, how they arent 100% required or always going to work given vivillon also likes suicide leads and the two don't go together but sometimes you will really want to remove rocks for viv

However, this is a short term solution, as Vivillon can easily set up again at another point in time.

[OVERVIEW]

Due to the lack of Sleep Clause and viable Sleep Talk users, Vivillon uniquely stands out as a premier sleep inducer and Quiver Dance sweeper, able to abuse guaranteed sleep turns to reliably setup Substitutes and Quiver Dances. you gotta mention compoundeyes here; it's really important for sweeping cause 98% sleep powders. However, Vivillon also sits in a somewhat awkward speed tier, leaving it outsped by Yveltal, Mega Rayquaza, Marshadow, and Ultra Necrozma mention arceus too, that's really important before it starts boosting with Quiver Dance. Vivillon is incredibly frail and doesn't have the best defensive typing, as it’s 4x weak to the ubiquitous Stealth Rock, doesn’t have room in its moveset for a reliable recovery option like Roost, and is picked off fairly easy by priority users such as Arceus, Mega Rayquaza, and Marshadow. This makes its hard for Vivillon to set up. this sentence brushes off probably the most important point, mention that it needs support and can only set up against slower mons. Nevertheless, Vivillon is the very definition of a Pokemon in the Anything Goes metagame that can spiral out of control easily if not immediately assessed as a threat, and although it is somewhat niche, can be a dangerous threat if left unchecked.

Moves
========

Sleep Powder works well in tandem with Compound Eyes say 98% here specifically and generates free turns for Vivillon to set up a Substitute and boost with Quiver Dance. Substitute shields Vivillon from status, gives it more opportunites to abuse sleep, and most importantly prevents it from being revenge killed after the opposing Pokemon wakes up. Quiver Dance boosts Vivillon's Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed by one stage with each use, allowing it to outspeed the entire metagame after just two boosts and dish out powerful Hurricanes. Hurricane is Vivillon's strongest STAB move and works well in tandem with Compound Eyes. This is complemented by the fact that Flying is one of the best offensive types in Anything Goes, further cementing Vivillon's place as a great setup sweeper.

Set Details
========

Maximum Speed EVs alongside a Timid nature allows for Vivillon to outspeed and put asleep a large majority of the metagame. 136 Defense EVs allows Vivillon to survive several notable priority moves from full, such as Life Orb Mega Rayquaza's Extreme Speed and Life Orb Arceus' Extreme Speed. The remaining 120 Special Attack EVs help make Vivillon a fearsome setup sweeper. Leftovers gives Vivillon a passive recovery option and allows for it to setup Substitute multiple times throughout the match. Compound Eyes is the focal point of using Vivillon, as it boosts the accuracy of both Sleep Powder and Hurricane to above 90%, which is crucial for it securing a sweep.

Usage Tips
========

Teammates should try to lay Stealth Rock, Sticky Web, and as many layers of Spikes as possible before attempting to sweep with Vivillon. Vivillon is quite frail and should try to switch in after a teammate has fainted and the opposing Pokemon is guaranteed slower than it. Vivillon once brought in against a slower Pokemon such as Zygarde or Primal Groudon should use Sleep Powder to put the opposing Pokemon or its switch-in to sleep. From there Vivillon can set up a free Substitute and start boosting with Quiver Dance. If the opponent wakes up on the second sleep turn and breaks Vivillon's Substitute, use Sleep Powder again to put them back to sleep and set up another Substitute. Remember that there is no Sleep Clause in Anything Goes, so Vivillon can put all of the opposing team asleep if need be. Once Vivillon has successfully set up six Quiver Dances and its Substitute is still intact, begin firing off super powerful Hurricanes until the opposing team is defeated. Vivillon should be weary wary, weary means tired of priority users such as Arceus and Mega Rayquaza. If Vivillon is behind a Substitute, it's generally safe to Spore sleep powder not spore as they break the Substitute. Removing or severely crippling priority users with teammates should be made a top priority if utilizing Vivillon.
- being careful of marsh switch in bc if you sleep powder then try to sub as marsh switches in you die to spectral, you can probably just qd in that situation.
- getting off rocks before trying to sweep

Team Options
========

Deoxys-Speed and Excadrill are two of the best hazard stacking leads for the hyper offensive teams Vivillon fits best on. Excadrill has additional utility options such as Rapid Spin to remove Stealth Rock for Vivillon, as well as Rock Tomb so that Vivillon can outspeed the foe, put it asleep, and start boosting with Quiver Dance. Primal Groudon is also notable as another Rock Tomb and stealth rock user that can forcibly slow down the foe and create extra opportunities for Vivillon to set up. Dedicated Sticky Web leads such as Shuckle, Smeargle, and Slurpuff can assist Vivillon by slowing down the opposing team, allowing it to put foes naturally faster than it such as Arceus-Dark and Choice Scarf Lunala timid still outspeeds you, but scarf lunala is so rare anyway id use another example like scarf xern (all run modest) asleep before its sets up the first Quiver Dance. These Sticky Web users are also able to provide additional utility options such as Encore, Stealth Rock, Spore, and Endeavor. Hazard removal from Pokemon such as Arceus-Fairy, Yveltal, and Giratina-O, while not a necessity for Vivillon to sweep, can increase the likelihood its sweep will not be interupted and is already a fundamental part of teambuilding. Removing Stealth Rock from play also decreases the likelihood that Vivillon will be picked off by opposing priority. id say it's pretty mandatory because otherwise you pretty much can't sub ever. also remove giratina-o, you never see that on HO
- mention other HO mons that appreciate sleep spam and weakening with hurricane: dd ray, cm steel, scarf xern, just whatever honestly

Other Options
=============

Bug Buzz utilizes Vivillon’s primary STAB, is perfectly accurate unlike Hurricane, and nails Psychic- and Dark-type Pokemon such as Mega Mewtwo Y and Arceus-Dark. Vivillon has several other support options such as Tailwind and Endeavor, but is too frail to make use of them and is generally outclassed in these roles. wouldnt mention tailwind and endeavor, they're really bad and no one has ever used them. even bug buzz is very eh but i guess it can stay because 100% accuracy

Checks and Counters
===================

**Stealth Rock**: Stealth Rock strips away half of Vivillon's health with each switch in and are not ideal for Vivillon as it begins to setup and sweep as it needs as much health as possible to guarantee that it sets up multiple Substitutes and take a priority move if need be.

**Priority Users**: Strong priority users such as Mega Rayquaza, Marshadow, and Arceus can proactively threaten to KO Vivillon once its Substitute has faded or act as a revenge-killer. However, they are all scared of taking a boosted Hurricane.

**Faster Attackers**: Pokemon that exceed the base 90 Speed benchmark such as Arceus-Steel and Mega Gengar can outspeed an unboosted Vivillon and KO it. Mega Mewtwo Y is one of the best examples, as it can switch into a predicted Sleep Powder due to Insomnia.

**Perish Song Arceus**: Certain Arceus formes such as Arceus-Rock, Arceus-Fairy, and Arceus-Poison can utilize Perish Song to force Vivillon to either switch out or be KO'd. Their base 120 all around defensive stats also allow them to withstand a boosted Hurricane or two. However, this is a short term solution, as Vivillon can easily set up again at another point in time.

**Status Ailments**: Vivillon being badly poisoned or paralyzed severely cripples it from performing its role as a setup sweeper. However, inducing Vivillon with status is easier said than done, as most of the time Vivillon sets up a Substitute. Vivillon can also still generate free turns for teammates by stilling putting foes asleep.

**Phazers**: Specially defensive phazers such as Primal Groudon and Lugia can take a couple of boosted Hurricanes after they have been put to sleep and Roar or Whirlwind Vivillon out when they wake up. However, these Pokemon risk taking a substantial amount of damage and are ultimately last resort options. also roar ttar, it's subpar but it resists hurricane and takes 0 damage because of sand. it's at least better than pdon as a check

[OVERVIEW]

Due to the lack of Sleep Clause and viable Sleep Talk users, Vivillon uniquely stands out as a premier sleep inducer, and Quiver Dance sweeper, able to abusetake advantage of guaranteed sleep turns to reliably set up Substitutes and Quiver Dances due to Compound Eyes Sleep Powder. However, Vivillon also sits in a somewhat awkward sSpeed tier, leaving it outsped by Yveltal, Mega Rayquaza, Marshadow, Arceus, and Ultra Necrozma before it starts boosting with Quiver Dance. Furthermore, Vivillon is incredibly frail and doesn't have the best defensive typing, aso it’s 4x weak to the ubiquitous Stealth Rock, doesn’t have room in its moveset for a reliable recovery option like Roost, and is picked off fairly easy by priority users such as Arceus, Mega Rayquaza, and Marshadow. This makes it hard for Vivillon to set up, since it needs team support and can only set up against slower foes. Nevertheless, Vivillon is the very definition of a Pokemon in the Anything Goes metagame that can spiral out of control easily if not immediately assessed as a threat, and although it is somewhat niche, it can be a dangerous threat if left unchecked.

Moves
========

Sleep Powder works well in tandem with Compound Eyes giving it 98% accuracy and generates free turns for Vivillon to set up a Substitute and boost with Quiver Dance. Substitute shields Vivillon from status, gives it more opportunities to abusetake advantage of sleep, and most importantly prevents it from being revenge killed after the opposing Pokemon wakes up. Quiver Dance boostallows Vivillon's Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed by one stage with each use, allowing it to outspeed the entire metagame after just two boosts and dish out powerful Hurricanes. Hurricane is Vivillon's strongest STAB move and works well in tandem with Compound Eyes. This is complemented by the fact that Flying is one of the best offensive types in Anything Goes, further cementing Vivillon's place as a great setup sweeper.

Set Details
========

Maximum Speed EVs alongside a Timid nature allows for Vivillon to outspeed and put asleep a large majority of the metagame to put them to sleep effectively. 136 Defense EVs allows Vivillon to survive several notable priority moves from full, such as Life Orb Mega Rayquaza's Extreme Speed and Life Orb Arceus's Extreme Speed. The remaining 120 Special Attack EVs help make Vivillon a fearsome setup sweeper. Leftovers gives Vivillon a passive recovery option and allows for it to set up Substitute multiple times throughout the match. Compound Eyes is the focal point of using Vivillon, as it boosts the accuracy of both Sleep Powder and Hurricane to above 90%, which is crucial for it securing a sweep.

Usage Tips
========

Teammates should try to lay Stealth Rock, Sticky Web, and as many layers of Spikes as possible before attempting to sweep with Vivillon. Vivillon is quite frail and should try to switch in after a teammate has fainted and the opposing Pokemon is guaranteed to be slower than it. Vivillon oOnce brought in against a slower Pokemon such as Zygarde or Primal Groudon, Vivillon should use Sleep Powder to put the opposing Pokemon or its switch-in to sleep. From there, (AC) Vivillon can set up a free Substitute and start boosting with Quiver Dance. If the fopponent wakes up on the second sleep turn and breaks Vivillon's Substitute, use Sleep Powder again to put them back to sleep and set up another Substitute. Remember that there is no Sleep Clause in Anything Goes, so Vivillon can put all of the opposing team asleep if need be. Once Vivillon has successfully set up six Quiver Dances and its Substitute is still intact, begin firing off super powerful Hurricanes until the opposing team is defeated. Vivillon should be wary of priority users such as Arceus and Mega Rayquaza. Marshadow is also a huge threat that must be played around carefully. If you Sleep Powder a Pokemon; if Vivillon puts a Pokemon to sleep and then uses Substitute as Marshadow switches in, Vivillon can lose tobe KOed by Spectral Thief. Using Quiver Dance over Substitute is most optimal if the opponent has a Marshadow lurking in the back. If Vivillon is behind a Substitute, it's generally safe to use Sleep Powder as they break the Substitute. Removing or severely crippling priority users with teammates should be made a top priority if utilizing Vivillon. Entry hazards, most notably Stealth Rock, Stealth Rock (no entry hazards other than sr can hit viv) is also crucial to remove before Vivillon is brought in and attempts to sweep.

Team Options
========

Deoxys-Speed and Excadrill are two of the best hazard-(AH)stacking leads for the hyper offensive teams Vivillon fits best on. Excadrill has additional utility options such as Rapid Spin to remove Stealth Rock for Vivillon, as well as and Rock Tomb so that Vivillon can outspeed the foe, put it ato sleep, and start boosting with Quiver Dance. Primal Groudon is also notable as another Rock Tomb and Stealth Rock user that can forcibly slow down the foe and create extra opportunities for Vivillon to set up. Dedicated Sticky Web leads such as Shuckle, Smeargle, and Slurpuff can assist Vivillon by slowing down the opposing team, allowing it to put foes naturally faster than it such as Arceus-Dark and Choice Scarf Xerneas ato sleep before it sets up the first Quiver Dance. These Sticky Web users are also able to provide additional utility options such as Encore, Stealth Rock, Spore, and Endeavor. Hazard removal from Pokemon such as Arceus-Fairy and Yveltal is a necessity for Vivillon to sweep, increases the likelihood that its sweep will not be interrupted, and is already a fundamental part of teambuilding. Removing Stealth Rock from play also decreases the likelihood that Vivillon will be picked off by opposing priority. Other hyper offensive teammates such as Dragon Dance Mega Rayquaza, Calm Mind Arceus-Steel, Choice Scarf Xerneas, and Double Dance Primal Groudon all appreciate the sleep support and Hurricane chipping Vivillon provides even if its sweep proves unsuccessful.

**Status Ailments**: Vivillon being badly poisoned or paralyzed severely cripples it from performing its role as a setup sweeper.

Vivillon can also still generate free turns for teammates by stilling putting foes ato sleep.

**Phazers**: Specially defensive phazers such as Primal Groudon, Tyranitar, (AC) and Lugia can take a couple of boosted Hurricanes after they have been put to sleep and Roar or Whirlwind Vivillon out when they wake up. However, these Pokemon risk taking a substantial amount of damage and are ultimately last-(AH)resort options.
