Calm Mind (Raging Bolt) @ Leftovers
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 244 HP / 52 Def / 100 SpA / 20 SpD / 92 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 20 Atk

[SET COMMENTS]
Raging Bolt's good natural bulk allows it to function well as a bulky setup sweeper. It has good matchups against Kyogre and Urshifu-R due to STAB Thunderclap. Dragon Pulse is commonly used to break Pokemon that resist Thunderclap, like opposing Raging Bolt and Miraidon. Dragon Pulse may also aid against Pokemon with redirection like Ogerpon-W or Armor Tail Farigiraf that blocks Thunderclap. Leftovers is the preferred item on Calm Mind Raging Bolt due to the increased longevity, especially when paired with Grassy Terrain support from Rillaboom. 244 HP and 52 Defense EVs allow Raging Bolt to survive Adamant Chien-Pao's Ice Spinner. The HP and Special Defense EVs allow +1 Special Defense Terastallized Raging Bolt to survive two attacks from both Modest Flutter Mane's Moonblast and Landorus's Earth Power. 92 Speed EVs allow Raging Bolt to outspeed 4 Speed Rillaboom. Tera Fairy is the Tera type of choice because it provides Raging Bolt an even matchup into most of the format.

Good partners for Calm Mind Raging Bolt include Rillaboom because it can provide Grassy Terrain and create free turns with Fake Out, allowing Raging Bolt to set up more safely. Similarly, Incineroar is often paired with Raging Bolt, since it can offer damage reduction and Fake Out support. Redirection, such as Ogerpon-W's Follow Me, is greatly appreciated by Raging Bolt. Groudon and Koraidon are also good partners for Raging Bolt, since they can activate its Protosynthesis ability and check Pokemon like Amoonguss and Zacian-C, which are common checks for Raging Bolt. Amoonguss threatens Raging Bolt's Thunderclap via Rage Powder redirection and Spore. Zacian-C, Groudon, Choice Specs Flutter Mane, Calyrex-I, and Landorus can threaten Raging Bolt before and after it Terastallizes.

Thunderbolt may also aid against Pokemon with redirection like Ogerpon-Wellspring or setup Pokemon like Zamazenta-C or Calm Mind Terapagos that would discourage Thunderclap.

The HP and Special Defense EVs also allow +1 Special Defense post-tera Terastalized Raging Bolt to not be 2HKO'd by Survive 2 attacks from 252 Special Attack Modest Flutter Mane and Life Orb Landorus. (Specify the attacks.) Its Special Defense is also at an even number for optimal Calm Mind boosts. (Not relevant enough to mention.) Tera Fairy is the typing of choice because it allows it Raging Bolt to setup on Urshifu-Single-Strike, who often runs dual STABs, as well as having giving it (a bit clearer) a an even matchup into most of the tier (Format seems like the correct word for this, would reccomend using that since VGC isn't exactly a tier.).

It has good matchups against Kyogre and Urshifu-Rapid-Strike due to STAB Thunderclap. STAB Dragon Pulse is commonly used to break Pokemon that resist Thunderclap, like opposing Raging Bolt or Miraidon. Dragon Pulse may also aid against Pokemon with redirection like Ogerpon-W or Armor Tail Farigiraf that block Thunderclap. Leftovers are is ("Leftovers" is treated as a singular object) the preferred item on Calm Mind Raging Bolt due to the increased longevity, especially when paired with Grassy Terrain support from Rillaboom. 244 HP and 52 Defense EVs allow Raging Bolt to survive Adamant Chien-Pao's Ice Spinner. The HP and Special Defense EVs allow +1 Special Defense Terastalized Terastallized Raging Bolt to survive 2 two attacks from both Modest Flutter Mane's Moonblast and Landorus's Earth Power (clarification of what exactly can Raging Bolt survive). 52 Speed EVs allow Raging Bolt to outspeed 4 Speed Rillaboom. Tera Fairy is the typing of choice because it provides Raging Bolt an even matchup into most of the format.

(remove asterisk) Good partners for Calm Mind Raging Bolt include Rillaboom for Grassy Terrain and Fake Out support because it can provide Grassy Terrain and create free turns with Fake Out (original sentence was awkwardly structured), allowing Raging Bolt to setup set up more safely. Similarly, Incineroar is often paired with it Raging Bolt (clarification of subject due to "it" being used twice), (AC) since it can offer damage reduction and Fake Out support. Redirection, such as Ogerpon-W's Follow Me, is greatly appreciated by Raging Bolt. Groudon and Koriadon Koraidon are also a good partners for Raging Bolt, since they can activate its Protosynthesis Ability ability and check Pokemon like Amoonguss and Zacian-C, which are common checks for Raging Bolt. Amoonguss threatens Raging Bolt's Thunderclap via Rage Powder redirection (RC) as well as Spore.

Dragon Pulse may also aid against Pokemon with redirection like Ogerpon-W or Armor Tail Farigiraf that block Thunderclap. Leftovers are is ("Leftovers" is treated as a singular object) the preferred item on Calm Mind Raging Bolt due to the increased longevity, especially when paired with Grassy Terrain support from Rillaboom. 244 HP and 52 Defense EVs allow Raging Bolt to survive Adamant Chien-Pao's Ice Spinner. The HP and Special Defense EVs allow +1 Special Defense Terastalized Terastallized Raging Bolt to survive 2 two attacks from both Modest Flutter Mane's Moonblast and Landorus's Earth Power (clarification of what exactly can Raging Bolt survive). 52 Speed EVs allow Raging Bolt to outspeed 4 Speed Rillaboom. Tera Fairy is the typing of choice because it provides Raging Bolt an even matchup into most of the format.

(remove asterisk) Good partners for Calm Mind Raging Bolt include Rillaboom for Grassy Terrain and Fake Out support because it can provide Grassy Terrain and create free turns with Fake Out (original sentence was awkwardly structured), allowing Raging Bolt to setup set up more safely. Similarly, Incineroar is often paired with it Raging Bolt (clarification of subject due to "it" being used twice), (AC) since it can offer damage reduction and Fake Out support. Redirection, such as Ogerpon-W's Follow Me, is greatly appreciated by Raging Bolt. Groudon and Koriadon Koraidon are also a good partners for Raging Bolt, since they can activate its Protosynthesis Ability ability and check Pokemon like Amoonguss and Zacian-C, which are common checks for Raging Bolt. Amoonguss threatens Raging Bolt's Thunderclap via Rage Powder redirection (RC) as well as Spore. Zacian-C, Groudon, Choice Specs Flutter Mane, Calyrex-I, and Landorus can threaten Raging Bolt before and after it Terastallizes.

Implemented ! Thank you

Raging Bolt's good natural bulk allows it to function well as a bulky setup sweeper. It has good matchups against Kyogre and Urshifu-R due to STAB Thunderclap. STAB Dragon Pulse is commonly used to break Pokemon that resist Thunderclap, like opposing Raging Bolt or and Miraidon. Dragon Pulse may also aid against Pokemon with redirection like Ogerpon-W or Armor Tail Farigiraf that block blocks Thunderclap. Leftovers is the preferred item on Calm Mind Raging Bolt due to the increased longevity, especially when paired with Grassy Terrain support from Rillaboom. 244 HP and 52 EVs Defense EVs (You should rewatch the video in this thread to implement GP checks correctly) allow Raging Bolt to survive Adamant Chien-Pao's Ice Spinner.
