Scream Tail's high overall bulk, great defensive typing, and utility moves make it a valuable support Pokemon that can check common offensive threats like Dragonite, Chien-Pao, Baxcalibur, and Roaring Moon, especially when backed up by Tablets of Ruin or Unaware. Thunder Wave cripples foes like Volcarona and Cinderace, prevents Iron Moth and Gengar from freely switching in, and grants more opportunities to pass beefy Wishes to Scream Tail's teammates. Calm Mind turns Scream Tail into a bulky setup sweeper and lets it stand against special attackers like Greninja, Chi-Yu, and Sandy Shocks. Scream Tail's ability to contest and outlast hazard removers like Quaquaval and Corviknight makes it a solid Stealth Rock setter. Encore lets Scream Tail make use of its naturally high Speed tier to annoy slower Pokemon like Kingambit, Florges, and defensive Garchomp and punish setup attempts from Volcarona, Chi-Yu, and Ceruledge, which works well on non-Unaware variants. Alternatively, Regenerator + Heavy-Duty Boots makes Scream Tail a better defensive pivot and Wish passer, and it reduces Scream Tail's reliance on Wish. Defensive partners like Clodsire, Ting-Lu, and Corviknight can help check dangerous Pokemon such as Gengar and Gholdengo; the former two provide entry hazards, freeing Scream Tail to forgo Stealth Rock, while Corviknight's Defog makes non-Heavy Duty Boots variants less vulnerable to entry hazards. Defensive Pokemon that lack reliable recovery, such as non-Regenerator Great Tusk and Dondozo, appreciate Scream Tail's Wishes.
