Vullaby functions as a fantastic offensive pivot that can threaten the majority of the metagame with it's dual STAB attacks alone. Being one the most powerful Knock Off abusers is incredibly important as it can cripple switchins by removing important items such as Eviolite, Berry Juice, or choiced items. Brave Bird targets Fighting-types such as Farfetch'd-G, Timburr, and Scraggy. Defog enables Vullaby to clear hazards against setters such as Ferroseed and Drilbur. U-Turn lets Vullaby pivot out against checks such as Pawniard, Onix, and Spritzee, providing amazing synergy for it's team due to the amount of swithins it forces. Roost can be used instead to improve Vullaby's sustainability, especially when it constantly switches into Stealth Rock. However, the utility of U-Turn is generally preferred. Weak Armour enables Vullaby to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame after being struck by a physical attack, therefore it is advised to switch Vullaby into resisted physical hits such as Bullet Seed from Ferroseed and Knock Off from opposing Vullaby. However, it is adivsed to prevent Vullaby from taking too much chip damage as it can be worn down rather quickly if not running Roost. Vullaby can function best as a late-game cleaner as well once checks such as Pawniard and Onix are either taken out or significantly weakened. The given EV spread enables Vullaby to hit as hard as possible while also retaining some bulk to help deal with threats such as Ponyta-G, Trapinch, and Drifloon.
A check to Pawniard is necessary, therefore Fighting-types such as Farfetch'd-G and Timburr can be great partners as a result as Vullaby can help deal with Psychic-types in return. Vullaby can also form a great Volturn core with pivots such as Chinchou, as it helps Vullaby deal with Ice-, Electric-, and Rock-types while Vullaby can help check Grass- and Ground-types in return. Hazard setters such as Onix and Ferroseed can help Vullaby break through it's checks more easily, while Onix can help check Electric-, and Rock-types and Ferroseed can help deal with checks such as Spritzee, Chinchou, and Onix. Vullaby also pairs well with other Flying-types such as Wingull, Drifloon, and Rufflet, creating a powerful offensive core that can overwhelm their shared checks.
