[OVERVIEW]
Blessed with the rare Fairy typing and an excellent Speed tier, Whimsicott makes for an excellent revenge killer and utility Pokemon. Whimsicott's unique typing allows it to beat many dangerous threats like Hisuian Decidueye and Virizion. A powerful Moonblast and pivoting coupled with Choice Specs allow Whimsicott to break past bulkier threats like Hisuian Qwilfish and Glastrier. However, Whimsicott's low offensive stats leave it often wanting for power, especially without Choice Specs, and it's incapable of fitting every move it wants. Furthermore, lack of reliable recovery and only average bulk makes it unable to consistently check the Pokemon it's supposed to like Regirock and Sandaconda.

Choice Specs Whimsicott takes advantage of its high Speed and Moonblast to be a powerful cleaner and revenge killer. U-turn lets It scout for switches and pivot out of unfavorable matchups like Weezing and Orthworm, allowing it to bring in a more suitable teammate. Switcheroo allows Whimsicott to cripple its defensive checks, greatly hindering special walls like Dudunsparce, Orthworm, and especially Articuno, letting Whimsicott and its teammates break past them later in the game. However, Whimsicott loses a substantial amount of power without its Choice Specs, so one must be careful about when to use Switcheroo. Infiltrator allows Whimsicott to bypass Substitute from foes like Glastrier and opposing Whimsicott.

Choice Specs Whimsicott best fits on balance and bulky offense teams looking for a fast offensive cleaner that also provides some defensive utility. Whimsicott loves entry-hazard stacking teammates like Qwilfish and Orthworm to help push its otherwise average damage output. It can't handle Fire-types like Charizard and Typhlosion, so answers to them like Regirock and Snorlax help immensely. Whimsicott can in return take advantage of the Grass- and Fighting-types like Hisuian Decidueye and Passimian that these Pokemon are at a disadvantage against. Whimsicott struggles with Poison-types like Weezing and Grafaiai who resist its STAB attacks and threathen it with 4x super effective attacks, so answers like Qwilfish and Sandaconda make for great teammates. Whimsicott pairs well with offensive Fire-types like Typhlosion and Charizard that handle the Steel-types like Orthworm that it has difficulties breaking past, and in return, it handles their Water and Rock-type answers such as Regirock and Lanturn. Special sweepers such as Mesprit and Oricorio-G enjoy pairing with Whimsicott for its capability to pressure and cripple special walls like Snorlax and Hisuian Qwilfish.

[OVERVIEW]
Blessed with the rare Fairy-typing and an excellent speed tier, Whimsicott makes for an excellent revenge killer and utility Pokemon that can beat many dangerous threats like Hisuian Decidueye and Hisuian Electrode. Access to Prankster makes Whimsicott well-suited at crippling the opponents team with debilitating status moves shouldn't be part of the overview, its main strength comes from being a fast pivot with a helpful defensive typing. Its unpredictability coupled with its excellent movepool makes it a force to be reckoned with not really its main strength, I'd probably list its decent coverage and pivoting instead. I'd also list how Choice Specs makes it easier for it to break past bulky threats like Glastrier and Qwilfish-H. However, Whimsicotts bellow-average attacking stats make it very easy to handle defensively, and it's incapable of fitting every move it wants, and lack of reliable recovery also its bulk is merely okay makes it unable to consistently check the Pokemon it's supposed to like Regirock and Sandaconda.

However, Whimsicott loses a substantial amount of power without its Choice Specs, so one must be careful about when to use Switcheroo. Psychic hits the Poison-types like Weezing and Grafaiai that resist Whimsicotts other moves, and is Whimsicotts most reliable way of hitting Fire-types like Charizard.

Whimsicott loves hazard stacking teammates like Qwilfish and Orthworm help push its otherwise average damage output. Whimsicott can't handle Fire-types like Charizard and Typhlosion, so answers to them like Regirock and Basculin not a reliable answer; I'd pick something like Snorlax instead help immensely. Whimsicott can in return take advantage of the Grass- and Water-types like Hisuian Decidueye and Cramorant not a good example, Whimsicott can't even 2HKO standard Defog variants while Cramorant has high odds of KOin Whimsicott back with Hurricane that these Pokemon are at a disadvantage with. Whimsicott struggles with Poison-types like Weezing and Grafaiai who resist its STAB attacks and threaten it with Quadruple effective attacks, so answers like Qwilfish and Sandaconda make for great teammates. Whimsicott pairs well with Offensive Fire-types like Typhlosion and Charizard handle the Steel-types like Orthworm that it has difficulties breaking past, and in return it handles their Water and Rock-type answers examples please.
