EVs: 228 Atk / 36 Def / 236 Spe
Adamant Nature
- First Impression
- Leech Life
- U-turn
- Sucker Punch
Nymble flips the script as a Bug-type that's actually good! Thanks to Tinted Lens and its strong priority STAB move in First Impression, Nymble finds a niche as a strong revenge killer. First Impression can pick off weakened foes, while Leech Life allows it to stay in and offset entry hazard and Life Orb chip damage. U-turn capitalizes on Nymble's ability to force switches, letting Nymble reposition out of bad matchups and safely bring in its teammates. Tera Bug further amplifies its damage, allowing Nymble to secure OHKOs, most notably on Elekid. Sucker Punch is a backup form of priority after First Impression has been used and can prevent a Gothita revenge trap. Toedscool is a great partner, as it can remove hazards through Rapid Spin, threaten Pokemon that 4x resist Nymble's Bug-type moves, like Glimmet and Tinkatink, with Earth Power, and set Spikes to chip foes into KO range. Tinkatink helps handle Vullaby, while Mareanie helps against Mienfoo, both of which Nymble struggles to KO. Together, these three support Nymble’s fragility in a sturdy TTM core. Pivots such as Mienfoo and Elekid can also form a VoltTurn core with Nymble to consistently make progress against shared checks
