Ubers Galarian Darmanitan

[cheru]

Darmanitan-Galar @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Gorilla Tactics
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Icicle Crash
- Flare Blitz
- U-turn
- Rock Slide / Earthquake

Though it may look funny, Galarian Darmanitan is certainly no joke in Ubers. Galarian Darmanitan's infamous ability Gorilla Tactics makes it a great user of Choice Scarf, outspeeding common Pokemon like Eternatus and Calyrex-S, as well as boosted threats like +1 Zekrom and Choice Scarf Kyogre. Its powerful Icicle Crash is tough to switch into due to it hitting the majority of the tier for super effective or neutral damage. Flare Blitz is good coverage alongside Icicle Crash, since together they hit most of tier neutrally. U-turn lets Galarian Darmanitan pivot out of unfavorable matchups like Kyogre. Galarian Darmanitan's last move can let it bust through teams more easily; Rock Slide hits Ho-Oh while Earthquake covers Necrozma-DM and Eternatus with one move. Entry hazard control from Ho-Oh and Yveltal is key for Galarian Darmanitan, as it gives it more opportunities to pivot into and out of the field. Magnezone traps Necrozma-DM, letting Galarian Darmanitan use Icicle Crash more freely.

Earthquake is less for Heatran and more for a move that hits both Eternatus and Necrozma-DM at the same time. For hazard control, change Lunala to Yveltal, a much more common defogger.

These read likefacts about G-Darm more than anything else, I’d suggest trying to make the points flow from one to the next more. Stuff like talking about how ice+fire coverage hits basically everything aside from Kyogre, or talking about pivoting with U-Turn then talking about hazard control because you’re using darm as a pivot, or talking about Darm’s last moveslot as picking what other relevant mons to hit, stuff to connect the moves together and make it sound more like an explanation of why darm is good instead of facts about darm.

Ill give this QC 1/1, the content is all there, but it doesnt read very spotlight-y to me.

Its STAB powerful Icicle Crash is also tough to switch into due to it hitting a the majority of the tier for super effective or neutral damage. Flare Blitz is good coverage alongside Icicle Crash, since together they are able to hit a majority of the hit most of the tier super effectively besides Kyogre neutrally (I mean, there are a bunch of mons this does not hit super effectively like Calyrex, Ho-Oh, and Xerneas. You already mention that ogre is a bad matchup, probably best not to have this weird mention of it here). U-turn lets Galarian Darmanitan pivot out of unfavorable matchups like Kyogre. Galarian Darmanitan's last move can let it bust through teams more easily; Rock Slide hits Ho-Oh while Earthquake is an alternative to hit covers Necrozma-DM and Eternatus in with one move.
