[SET]
Sun Sweeper (Lilligant-Hisui) @ Life Orb
Ability: Chlorophyll
Tera Type: Fire / Ghost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Solar Blade
- Triple Axel
- Tera Blast
Hisuian Lilligant shines on sun teams as a premier late-game cleaner and revenge killer, using Chlorophyll to outspeed boosted threats such as Iron Valiant and Walking Wake. Its strong dual STAB combination in Close Combat and Solar Blade allows it to clean up against offensive threats including Great Tusk, Darkrai, and Ogerpon-W. Triple Axel provides essential coverage against Flying-types such as Dragonite, Gliscor, and Zapdos, preventing them from walling Hisuian Lilligant. Tera Fire powers up Tera Blast to pressure Steel-types such as Gholdengo, Corviknight, and Skarmory under sun. Tera Ghost alternatively flips the matchup against Zamazenta and Body Press Corviknight, as well as threatening Pecharunt with Tera Blast. An Adamant nature is preferred over a Jolly one to secure an OHKO on uninvested Cinderace with Close Combat and increase the probability of OHKOing Ogerpon-W.
Either Torkoal or Ninetales must set sun to activate Hisuian Lilligant's Chlorophyll, with each providing unique utility. Torkoal is bulkier, sets Stealth Rock, and removes entry hazards with Rapid Spin, while Ninetales brings greater Speed, Encore to disrupt setup, and Healing Wish to give Hisuian Lilligant a second chance to sweep. Walking Wake and Raging Bolt are excellent teammates, threatening the physical walls that Hisuian Lilligant struggles with, notably Moltres and Pecharunt. In return, Hisuian Lilligant pressures special walls such as Garganacl and Ting-Lu, giving Walking Wake and Raging Bolt space to break teams. Great Tusk supports Hisuian Lilligant with hazard control and physical pressure on Pecharunt, as well as removing the Heavy-Duty Boots from Moltres to wear it down with hazards, while appreciating Hisuian Lilligant's ability to soften Alomomola, Dondozo, and Ogerpon-W. Zamazenta is a major obstacle, but Hatterene can help limit its setup opportunities, as well as blocking hazards or using Healing Wish to keep Hisuian Lilligant healthy and spreading paralysis with Nuzzle to ensure that it can clean up out of sun.
