Altariel von Sweep
They Who Laugh Last
Wynaut @ Berry Juice
Ability: Shadow Tag
Level: 5
EVs: 156 HP / 52 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Counter
- Mirror Coat
- Destiny Bond
- Encore
Wynaut has the ability to act as a trapper thanks to the combination of Encore and Shadow Tag, which allows it to trap an inmense number of threats, from passive Pokemon such as Foongus and Mareanie to offensive Pokemon like Timburr and special attackers. Due to its high HP, both Counter and Mirror Coat will likely OHKO the target. If it has trapped whatever its team needed to remove, it can take down one more Pokemon with Destiny Bond while further improving its trapping capabilities. Berry Juice patches up Wynaut's issue of a lack of recovery by almost fully replenishing Wynaut's health. Speed investment is required to outspeed as many Pokemon as possible like the aforementioned Timburr. Like many trappers, Wynaut appreciates momentum gained from Pokemon such as Mienfoo and Magnemite with U-turn and Volt Switch, respectively, as it cannot switch into most attacks and is prone to Knock Off, losing its only means of recovery. Pokemon such as Shellder and Carvanha appreciate Wynaut removing Pokemon that threaten them, easing their sweep.
