Yanmega @ Throat Spray
Ability: Speed Boost
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Bug Buzz
- Air Slash
- Tera Blast
- Protect
Yanmega takes advantage of a solid Special Attack stat, Throat Spray, and Speed Boost to become a fearsome setup sweeper, outspeeding the entire unboosted metagame after just one boost. At +1, Bug Buzz OHKOes top defensive Pokemon like Slowbro and Reuniclus and 2HKOes Umbreon and Assault Vest Cyclizar. Air Slash hits Bug-resistant foes like Slither Wing and Okidogi. Tera Blast Ground gives Yanmega an option to hit Steel-types like Hisuian Goodra and Revavroom. Protect allows for a free Speed boost while scouting for Terastallization from foes attempting to survive a hit and revenge kill Yanmega. Because Yanmega is weak to Stealth Rock, it should be paired with an entry hazard remover like Cyclizar or Maushold to keep it from getting revenge killed after suffering Stealth Rock damage. It also struggles against Steel-types pre-Terastallization, so teammates like Terrakion and Krookodile that can take care of them are needed. Yanmega also benefits from entry hazard setters like Froslass and Kleavor to help wear down foes like Suicune and Basculegion-F over time, making them easier for Yanmega to take care of late-game.
