[SET COMMENTS]
Assault Vest Alolan Muk finds a pivotal role on Poison teams, with its high special bulk and secondary Dark typing providing a much-needed immunity to Psychic-type attacks. Knock Off provides a strong STAB option with immense utility by removing held items. Poison Jab is Alolan Muk's most consistent STAB move, being able to reliably spread poison and make progress thanks to Poison Touch. Pursuit is used to trap Choice-locked threats like Hisuian Zoroark, Greninja, and Tapu Lele for solid damage. For Alolan Muk's final moveslot, Drain Punch provides some much-needed recovery and hits Steel- and Dark-type threats like Heatran and Hydreigon for solid damage. Alternatively, Shadow Sneak can allow Alolan Muk to pick off weakened threats, while Rock Slide checks Volcarona and Mega Charizard Y. The EV spread maximizes Alolan Muk's special bulk, with the 12 Defense EVs allowing it to survive an unboosted Victini's V-create after Stealth Rock. Crobat complements Alolan Muk thanks to its secondary Flying typing, which can support Alolan Muk against threats like Great Tusk, Clodsire, and Mega Gallade. Mega Venusuar helps Alolan Muk by dealing with Water- and Ground-type threats including Barraskewda , Mega Swampert, and Mamoswine. Galarian Slowking pairs with Alolan Muk to create a specially defensive core by handling threats such Choice Specs Latios, Tornadus-T, and Kyurem. Toxapex handles powerful physical threats like Kleavor, Mega Lopunny, and Weavile and has Z-Haze for special attackers that can overwhelm Alolan Muk like Kommo-o. Choice Scarf Sneasler can remove threats to Alolan Muk such as Excadrill, Hisuian Arcanine, and non-Choice Scarf Iron Boulder with its powerful Close Combat. Nidoking can remove walls that can sit on Alolan Muk, including Toxapex, Ferrothorn, and Corviknight, thanks to its strong coverage moves.
