GG Hex Pivot Pecharunt (QC 1/2)

[kenn]

[SET]
Hex Pivot (Pecharunt) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Poison Puppeteer
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
IVs: 0 Atk
Tera Type: Water / Fairy
Bold Nature
- Hex
- Toxic / Malignant Chain
- Parting Shot
- Recover

Pecharunt can cause a massive headache with the ability to not only be bulkier than it normally is, but also by powering itself up with spreading status while empowering its Hex. Toxic is a guaranteed way for Pecharunt to spread status while Malignant Chain allows it to circumvent being Taunted and having a Poison STAB move at the cost of overall PP, with both synergizing well with Hex. Parting Shot allows Pecharunt to pivot to other teammates with ease while weakening whatever foe it faces. Recover is the last move, giving Pecharunt reliable healing and increased longevity. Pecharunt's Tera Type is a bit team dependent, but both Water and Fairy provide general defensive capabilities to allow Pecharunt to pull off a well-timed Recover or Parting Shot. Heavy-Duty Boots is the item of choice, mainly so Pecharunt doesn't take chip damage when pivoting with Parting Shot.

Pecharunt can fit into almost any slot but mainly the HP or SpD slot. Gods such as Kyurem-W, Ho-Oh, and Arceus all provide the aforementioned stats for Pecharunt to abuse; more specifically, Ho-Oh and Arceus specifically are useful, as they can help Pecharunt's Hex hit harder with their own status moves. Special walls such as Ting-Lu and Landorus-T complement Pecharunt's ability to take on almost any physical attacker. More specifically, Ting-Lu can take the Ghost- and Dark-type attacks aimed at Pecharunt from the likes of Hoopa-U and Darkrai. While the aforementioned Ground-types make for great partners, they are also Pecharunt's biggest enemy. Therefore, Pokemon such as Weavile, Hydrapple, and Ogerpon can take on the previously mentioned Ground-types that threaten Pecharunt as well as Great Tusk and Landorus. Steel-types such as Iron Treads and Assault Vest Archaludon can take next to nothing from Pecharunt thanks to being immune to Toxic, which in turn neuters Hex. That is why Pokemon such as Great Tusk, Iron Moth, and Heatran are great partners to help threaten them and pave the way for Pecharunt to freely Toxic and Hex all its foes.

Pecharunt can cause a massive headache with the ability to not only be bulkier than it normally is, but also by powering itself up with spreading status and a superpowered while empowering its Hex. Speaking of, Hex is the main crux of this set, allowing Pecharunt to nail foes with a status condition. Toxic is a guaranteed way for Pecharunt to spread status while Malignant Chain allows it to circumvent being Taunted and having a Poison STAB move at the cost of overall PP., with both synergizing well with Hex. Parting Shot allows Pecharunt to pivot to other teammates with ease while neutering weakening whatever foe it faces. Recover is the last move, strictly to giveing Pecharunt reliable healing and give it the ability to stick around longer increased longevity. Pecharunt's Tera Type is a bit team dependent, but both Water and Fairy provide general defensive capabilities to allow Pecharunt to continue throughout the match and pull off a well-timed Recover or Parting Shot. Mention Heavy-Duty Boots synergy with Parting Shot

Pecharunt slots best can fit into almost any slot but mainly the HP or SpD slot. so Gods such as Kyurem-W, Ho-Oh, and Arceus all provide the aforementioned stats for Pecharunt to abuse; more specifically, Ho-Oh and Arceus specifically are useful, as they can help Pecharunt's Hex hit harder as they have with their own statuses to spread. Special walls such as Ting-Lu and Mandibuzz bad example, Mandi is typically physdef, maybe like Corv or Lando? those can also tie into Ground-type weakness next line complement Pecharunt's ability to take on almost any physical attackers. Both of the aforementioned Dark-types also can help take the Ghost- and Dark-type attacks aimed at Pecharunt from who? as well. Pokemon such as Weavile, Hydrapple, and Ogerpon can take on the Ground-types that threaten Pecharunt Again, some exmaples?. Fairy-types such as Clefable and Primarina can take on the threatening Dark-types such as Hisuian Samurott and Weavile that try to wear Pecharunt down or force it to Terastallize. This feels a lot like a laundry list, maybe make it slightly easier to read. Also maybe mention how Pech can struggle into Steels like Zac/Treads/AV Arch, etc. because Hex hits like a wet pool noodle into non-poisoned targets
