Manaphy @ Leftovers
Ability: Hydration
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tail Glow
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Energy Ball
Manaphy Lights up UU! With its Tail Glow Set, Manaphy is a terrifying sweeper, being able to set up on Skeledirge, Scizor, and Skarmory lacking Whirlwind. Surf is the primary STAB move, being able to 2HKO Skeledirge and Fezandpiti after boosts. Ice Beam is used to hit Water-resistant threats and flying-types such as Hydrapple, Tornadus-Therian, and Clodsire. Energy Ball is used to muscle past opposing water-types such as Rotom-W and Slowking. Leftovers is for increased recovery. Manaphy struggles to get past Toxapex who can use Toxic to put Manaphy on a timer and also haze away Tail Glow Boosts, so teammates that can help such as Latios and Thundurus-Therian are appreciated. Excadrill provides hazard removal, which is invaluable as hazards can greatly chip Manaphy. Faster threats such as Latios, Zarude and Ogerpon, can pose major problems to Manaphy, as they threaten to deal major damage to Manaphy, so defensive answers such as Lokix, and Heatran are greatly appreciated.
