Sylveon is the main attraction in the NU metagame! With a mixed defensive spread, it is able to take on many of the tier’s physical and special attackers simultaneously, specifically Sirfetch'd and Blastoise. Hyper Voice is stronger than Moonblast and can bypass Substitute, though the latter can be used if the Sylveon user fears Throat Chop from a potential Scrafty or Glastrier, which would completely neuter Sylveon for two turns and allow free setup. Protect, in tandem with Wish, is Sylveon’s most reliable form of healing and allows it to scout Choice-locked Pokemon like Indeedee-F, Rotom-C, and Tyrantrum. Heal Bell enhances Sylveon’s supportive capabilities, removing status conditions spread by Pokemon like Salazzle and Weezing. Bulky Steel-types like Copperajah, Escavalier, and Silvally-Steel pair especially well with Sylveon, as they can take on Poison- and Steel-types that threaten Sylveon, while it can take on opposing Fighting-types and also circumvent their lack of reliable recovery with Wish passing. Mudsdale also appreciates Sylveon's cleric support and can take on Pokemon such as Toxicroak, Salazzle, and Drapion, which can beat both Sylveon and most Steel-types.
