Cresselia (F) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 192 Def / 68 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stored Power
- Calm Mind
- Moonlight
- Reflect / Substitute
Cresselia cements itself as a great defensive Pokemon in the 1v1 metagame with its amazing natural bulk, allowing it to deal with both physical and special attackers comfortably. Calm Mind increases the power of Stored Power, helping Cresselia to break through specially defensive Pokemon like non-Encore Primarina and Snorlax. Reflect alongside the given HP and Defense EVs allows Cresselia to survive a +6 Rhyperior's Rock Wrecker as well as generally helping Cresselia in matchups against physical attackers. Substitute allows Cresselia to mitigate critical hits that otherwise would worry it immensely, as well as blocking status moves like Sylveon's Yawn and Chansey's Toxic. Due to Cresselia's typing and general status as a stall Pokemon, Dark- and Ghost-types like Urshifu-S and Spectrier as well as Choice item Pokemon with Trick such as Victini and Porygon-Z prove to be threatening against it. As a result, Fairy- and Dark-types like Primarina and Urshifu-S are good partners for Cresselia.
