Choice Scarf (Meowscarada)
Meowscarada @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Ghost
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Triple Axel
- Flower Trick / Trick


With a Choice Scarf equipped, Meowscarada serves as one of the fastest pivots and revenge killers in the game, matching well against many faster threats such as Dragapult, Deoxys-S, and many boosted threats such as Speed Booster Energy Iron Valiant and opposing Choice Scarf users like Gholdengo, Landorus-T, and Latios. Knock Off helps remove items such as Heavy-Duty Boots and Rocky Helmet from switch-ins such as Corviknight, Galarian Weezing, and Moltres, allowing Meowscarada to continue chipping them down safely while making it easier to break through long-term. U-turn pivots out of bad matchups like the aforementioned checks, generating progress for Meowscarada’s teammates by helping them get onto the field safely as well as stinging Hisuian Samurott, Darkrai, and Ogerpon-W. Triple Axel hits Gliscor, Landorus-T, Dragonite, and Choice Scarf Enamorus incredibly hard, OHKOing all of them, as well as being Meowscarada’s strongest neutral attack against Iron Valiant and Kyurem, letting it revenge kill them after they are chipped. Flower Trick can be used to revenge kill Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott and Tera Water Ogerpon-W even after a Trailblaze as well as muscle past Dondozo and Garganacl even after a Defense boost. Alternatively, Trick can help Meowscarada cripple walls such as Corviknight and Galarian Weezing, giving it the flexibility of being able to switch moves later in a game especially against bulkier teams where the extra Speed is not as necessary. It can also cripple Kingambit and other setup sweepers like Zamazenta and Hatterene that Meowscarada can't threaten easily if they're still healthy. Tera Ghost is used for an immunity to Extreme Speed from Dragonite and Fighting-type moves such as Body Press from Zamazenta and Vacuum Wave from Iron Valiant, allowing Meowscarada to potentially flip its matchup and revenge kill or neutralize them in an emergency. However, after Terastallizing, Meowscarada’s attacks do not get a Protean boost for its attacks, so it should be used carefully.

Choice Scarf Meowscarada sees use on offense and bulky offense that appreciate having a fast pivot that can outspeed most forms of traditional speed control. Pokemon such as Ting-Lu, Iron Treads, and Garchomp pair very well with Meowscarada, as they can set entry hazards to build up chip damage over time, while Meowscarada helps remove Heavy-Duty Boots from users such as Zamazenta, Moltres, and Galarian Weezing. Ting-Lu can also switch into special attackers that threaten Meowscarada such as Heatran and Iron Moth. Gholdengo is a natural fit that synergizes perfectly with Meowscarada, helping against many of Meowscarada’s checks such as Zamazenta, Kyurem, Galarian Weezing, and Corviknight. Raging Bolt can handle Moltres, Scizor, and Zapdos and form a VoltTurn pivoting core with Meowscarada if it has Volt Switch, while Meowscarada can help against Ground-types such as Ting-Lu and Gliscor that annoy Raging Bolt. Meowscarada’s frailty leaves it vulnerable to priority users that can circumvent its high Speed such as Lokix, Kingambit, and Dragonite. Therefore, Pokemon such as Moltres, Great Tusk, and Corviknight are valued for their ability to deal with these threats. Furthermore, Moltres can bring Meowscarada in safely via U-turn, Great Tusk can remove entry hazards to let Meowcarada pivot around more freely, and Corviknight can do both. Additional pivots that complement Meowscarada well include Galarian Slowking and Iron Crown for their ability to check Clefable, Pecharunt, and Galarian Weezing, and pressure switch-ins to Meowscarada such as Zamazenta with Future Sight. Against bulkier teams, wallbreakers such as Ogerpon-W, Swords Dance Gliscor, and Nasty Plot Tornadus-T are great assets, as they can overwhelm shared checks such as Corviknight and Zapdos and break the balance cores that Meowscarada struggles against. Similarly, other wallbreakers like Zamazenta and Kyurem can help keep up the pressure against these teams.

With a Choice Scarf equipped, Meowscarada serves as one of the fastest pivots in the game, matching well against several notable leads such as Mentioning Pokemon that lead often is super hard / tricky for the reader; I would change the focus to just Pokemon that you do well against, this is a fine list Dragapult, Landorus-T, and Deoxys-Speed. Flower Trick helps Meowscarada muscle past threats such as Dondozo and Zamazenta, I would rather mention Curse Garganacl, you barely 3HKO Zama so you are likely to lose even with Tera bypassing their defensive boosts with its guaranteed crit rate. Knock-Off helps remove items such as Heavy-Duty Boots and Rocky Helmet from switch-ins such as Corviknight, Galarian Weezing, and Moltres, while OHKOing Dragapult and Deoxys-S. U-Turn pivots out of bad matchups, generating progress for its teammates by helping them get into the field safely as well as stinging Hisuian Samurott, Darkrai, and Ogerpon-Wellspring. Triple Axel hits Gliscor, Landorus-T, Dragonite, Raging Bolt, and Tornadus-Therian incredibly hard, OHKOing the former three and the latter if it doesn’t have HP investment. I would reword this to include Zapdos, probably over Tornadus-T, specially since you dont have it in the Knock Off section Trick can be substituted over Flower Trick for the ability to cripple defensive walls or sweepers upon switch-in, Examples would be good, particularly about the latter since you at least alluded to defensive walls earlier. Defensive walls are indeed upon switch-in, but I dont think sweepers are giving Meowscarada the flexibility of being able to switch moves later in a game. Protean is used to gain STAB on every attack, synergizing with Choice Scarf as only one move will be used at a time anyways when the Choice Scarf is active. Tera Ghost is used for an immunity to Extreme Speed from Dragonite and Fighting moves from Zamazenta and Corviknight, This is true but you are likely not doing much in return, I would remove it. It you want another example you could put Iron Valiant's Vacuum Wave allowing Meowscarada to potentially flip its matchup against them. Meowscarada gets no Protean boost for its attacks after it Teras however, so it should be used carefully.

Choice Scarf Meowscarada sees use on a variety of offense and balance teams I would restrict it to Bulky Offense and Offense, rather than Balance. Not many common partners there for this set, up to you that appreciate having a fast pivot that can outspeed most forms of traditional speed control. Despite its blazing speed, Meowscarada is held back by its contact-reliant moveset and the plethora of physically defensive Pokemon able to wall its attacks such as Moltres, Zapdos, Galarian-Weezing, and Zamazenta. This is all great but then you dont connect this with the next sentence so its placed weirdly. Perhaps try to connect it or move the sentence below Hazard setters such as Ting-Lu and Garchomp Eh, sure this is fine but an OU mon would do well here as another example, like Great Tusk or Iron Treads pair very well with Meowscarada, as they can set hazards to build up chip damage over time, while Meowscarada helps remove Heavy-Duty boots on the opposing team and threatens teams relying on Gliscor as their Knock-Off absorber. Gholdengo is a natural fit that synergizes perfectly with Meowscarada, helping against many of Meowscarada’s checks such as Zamazenta, Clefable, Galarian Weezing, and Pecharunt, and blocking all attempts at hazard control from Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Corviknight. Raging Bolt can handle Flying-Types such as Moltres and Zapdos with its powerful Electric attacks and form a Volt-Turn pivoting core with Meowscarada if it has Volt Switch, while Meowscarada can help against Ground-Types such as Ting-Lu and Gliscor that annoy Raging Bolt. Meowscarada’s frailty also leaves it vulnerable to priority users that can circumvent its high speed such as Lokix, Kingambit, Try to make more emphasis on Kingambit if possible since it does well overall, not only due to Sucker Punch but cause it resists 3 of your moves and Dragonite and chip damage from hazards. Therefore, Pokemon such as Corviknight, Moltres, Not a particularly common partner but up to you if you want to keep it, I wouldnt personally and Great Tusk are valued for their ability to deal with these threats, the former two for their ability to pivot in Meowscarada safely and the latter for its hazard removal via Rapid Spin. Galarian Slowking is a fantastic partner as well, helping check Fairies such as Iron Valiant and Clefable, serving as an additional pivot via Chilly Reception, and pressuring switch-ins to Meowscarada such as Zamazenta with Future Sight. Iron Crown could be a good shout that similarly does fine into Clefable, Pecharunt, and Galarian Weezing and also forms a VoltTurn core; Ogerpon-W can help overwhelm Dragonite, Pecharunt, and Corviknight. Flame Body Heatran and Iron Moth are notable checks missing that you could add somewhere; you could add Iron Moth in the Galarian Slowking part, or Heatran in the Wellspring part if you were to add it. Scizor and Kyurem are trickier checks to add but they could be placed in the Raging Bolt and Gholdengo section respectively.

With a Choice Scarf equipped, Meowscarada serves as one of the fastest pivots in the game, matching well against many faster threats such as Dragapult and Deoxys-S. (also include boosted mons as examples, like booster valiant or other scarfers like enam, lando, dengo) Flower Trick helps Meowscarada muscle past threats such as Dondozo and Curse Garganacl, bypassing their defensive boosts with its guaranteed crit rate. (not wrong but since meow's niche is as a speed control, think it's good to add examples of fast mons you can revenge kill reliably with flower trick. also, move this sentence right before the sentence that talks about trick to follow the move order and relevancy) Knock-Off OHKOs Dragapult and Deoxys-S (and potentially scarf dengo, which is something you're going to revenge kill) and helps remove items such as Heavy-Duty Boots and Rocky Helmet from switch-ins such as Corviknight, Galarian Weezing, and Moltres, allowing Meowscarada to continue chipping them safely without taking chip damage itself and make them vulnerable to hazards. U-Turn pivots out of bad matchups like the aforementioned checks, generating progress for its teammates by helping them get into the field safely as well as stinging Hisuian Samurott, Darkrai, and Ogerpon-Wellspring. Triple Axel hits Gliscor, Landorus-T, Dragonite, and Zapdos (scarf enam is also a good mention because again, it's something you might look to revenge kill) incredibly hard, helping OHKOing the former three. (mention how this is also your strong neutral hit into mons like valiant, walking wake, and kyurem which you also might have to revenge kill once they're chipped enough) Trick can be substituted over Flower Trick for the ability to cripple defensive walls such as Corviknight and Galarian Weezing, giving Meowscarada the flexibility of being able to switch moves later in a game especially against bulkier teams where the extra Speed is not as necessary. (also a big thing is shutting down setup sweepers like zama, hatt, kyurem, & tera fairy garg that you can't immediately threaten if they're still healthy) Protean is used to gain STAB on every attack, synergizing with Choice Scarf as only one move will be used at a time anyways when the Choice Scarf is active. (a bit too dex info-y and feels out of place--if you want to talk about protean, you can mention it in the opening sentence of this paragraph, since it's one of the main selling points of meow as a scarf user) Tera Ghost is used for an immunity to Extreme Speed from Dragonite and Fighting moves such as Body Press from Zamazenta and Vacuum Wave from Iron Valiant, allowing Meowscarada to potentially revenge kill or neutralize them in an emergency. flip its matchup against them. Meowscarada gets no Protean boost for its attacks after it Teras however, so it should be used carefully.

Hazard setters such as Ting-Lu, Iron Treads, and Garchomp pair very well with Meowscarada, as they can set hazards to build up chip damage over time, while Meowscarada helps remove Heavy-Duty boots (such as from?) on the opposing team and threatens teams relying on Gliscor as their Knock-Off absorber. (not wrong but emphasizing the gliscor matchup in the first paragraph instead seems more fitting, like "triple axel hits gliscor, preventing it from absorbing meow's knock off" or something of that nature is prob better) Ting-Lu can also switch into special attackers that threaten Meowscrada such as Heatran and Iron Moth. Gholdengo is a natural fit that synergizes perfectly with Meowscarada, helping against many of Meowscarada’s checks such as Zamazenta, Kyurem, Galarian Weezing, and Pecharunt, (add corv cause it would otherwise idbp on meow) and blocking all attempts at hazard control from Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Corviknight. (not really relevant for meow. this is more of dengo's synergy with the hazard setters) Raging Bolt can handle Moltres, Scizor, and Zapdos with its powerful Electric attacks and form a Volt-Turn pivoting core with Meowscarada if it has Volt Switch, while Meowscarada can help against Ground-Types such as Ting-Lu and Gliscor that annoy Raging Bolt. Meowscarada’s frailty also leaves it vulnerable to priority users that can circumvent its high speed such as Lokix, Kingambit, and Dragonite. Therefore, Pokemon such as Corviknight, Moltres, and Great Tusk are valued for their ability to deal with these threats, with all three able to handle Kingambit, the former two for their ability to pivot in Meowscarada safely and the latter for its hazard removal via Rapid Spin. (all good here but separate this highlighted area to its own sentence cause it's a bit too long atm) Additional pivots that complement Meowscarada well include Galarian Slowking and Iron Crown for their ability to check Clefable, Pecharunt, and Galarian Weezing, and pressure switch-ins to Meowscarada such as Zamazenta with Future Sight. Furthermore, Ogerpon-Wellspring can overwhelm shared checks such as Corviknight and Dragonite with its powerful attacks alongside Meowscarada. (another group of teammates that wallbreaks and can handle bulkier teams are necessary, cause scarf meow is going to struggle against those. you mention waterpon earlier which is also a good example here, but i'd like this point to be expanded more with further examples.)
Solid work, but let me know once this is implemented so I can take a look at it again before stamping.

Flower Trick can be used to revenge kill Choice Scarf Samurott-Hisui and Tera Water Ogerpon-W even after a Trailblaze as well as muscle past Dondozo and Garganacl even after a defense boost. (moved it here before trick based on the moveset order) Trick can help Meowscarada cripple defensive walls such as Corviknight and Galarian Weezing, giving it the flexibility of being able to switch moves later in a game especially against bulkier teams where the extra Speed is not as necessary. It can also cripple Kingambit and other setup sweepers like Zamazenta and Hatterene that Meowscarada can't threaten easily if they're still healthy. (this was based on the comment i made from the first check that was missed) Alternatively, Flower Trick can be used to revenge kill Choice Scarf Samurott-Hisui and muscle past Dondozo and Garganacl even after a defense boost.
