1v1 Hisuian Goodra

[bern]

Goodra-Hisui @ Custap Berry
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 252 HP / 196 SpA / 60 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Sludge Wave / Flash Cannon
- Acid Spray
- Endure

The Shell Bunker Pokemon sprays its acids all over 1v1! As stated, Acid Spray is one of the key points of the set, as its 100% chance of dropping Special Defense is really useful against threats like Volcanion, Haban Berry Regidrago, and Primarina. Draco Meteor lets Hisuian Goodra deal tons of damage to Raging Bolt and Kyurem before an Acid Spray as well. Sludge Wave can be utilized to beat Primarina reliably while Flash Cannon can beat Diancie and Alolan Ninetales. Finally, Endure allows Hisuian Goodra to tank a hit, like a Close Combat from Great Tusk, then go first with its Custap Berry to fire back with a Draco Meteor. Sap Sipper is also useful, as Hisuian Goodra becomes completely immune to Leech Seed, and thus can easily deal with Serperior and Whimsicott. The bulk EVs allow Hisuian Goodra to tank two Moonblasts from Choice Specs Primarina and a Dragon Energy from Choice Specs Regidrago, with the remaining EVs going into Special Attack. Hisuian Goodra can struggle against most Fighting- and Ground-type Pokemon, such as both Urshifu formes and Ursaluna, so it appreciates teammates like Iron Valiant and Manaphy to back it up and deter the opponent from using them.

Sludge Wave can be utilized to beat Ogerpon-W and Primarina reliably while Flash Cannon can beat Diancie and Alolan Ninetales.

Ogerpon-W can beat Goodra with Knock Off into Superpower but Sludge Wave helps, you can also beat a lot of Diancie and Ninetales with Sludge Wave but Flash Cannon makes it more reliable.

Endure allows Hisuian Goodra to tank a hit, like a Close Combat from Great Tusk or Iron Hands, go first with its Custap Berry, and then fire back with a Draco Meteor.

Iron Hands often can just take the hit even after CC drops, find a different example

Sap Sipper is also useful as you become completely immune to Leech Seed, and thus can easily deal with Serperior.

Mention Whimsicott here as well

QC 1/1 once implemented

you can also beat a lot of Diancie and Ninetales with Sludge Wave but Flash Cannon makes it more reliable.
