This powerful mushroom is an invaluable asset to any team, being able to cover powerful offensive threats such as Urshifu-R, Raging Bolt, and Flutter Mane thanks to its strong defensive typing and bulk. Rage Powder allows Amoonguss to redirect the above Pokemon's attacks onto itself, and Spore helps disable any opposing threats that might be difficult to overcome like Raging Bolt or Dragonite. These two moves can provide free turns, which are appreciated by setup Pokemon like Kingambit and Gholdengo. Pollen Puff heals teammates that work well with it such as Ogerpon-W, Incineroar, and Flutter Mane while also helping Amoonguss take on Ogerpon-W and other Spore-immune Grass-types. Regenerator allows Amoonguss to constantly answer the aforementioned threats while switching in and out. This EV spread allows Amoonguss to avoid a 2HKO from Choice Specs Flutter Mane Shadow Ball and an OHKO from Adamant Chien-Pao’s Icicle Crash while optimising Sitrus Berry recovery. Tera Water Amoonguss helps it take on Chien-Pao, Tornadus, Incineroar, and Gouging Fire by providing a resistance to the majority of their STAB moves and an overall greater defensive typing while keeping the resistance to Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes.
