Jolly Nature
- Flower Trick
- Knock Off
- Triple Axel
- U-turn
Meowscarada prowls through the Monotype metagame as a ferocious wallbreaker due to its great Speed stat, ability Protean, and versatile moveset! Choice Band allows Meowscarada to lure in walls like Toxapex, Skarmory, and Corviknight, which the more common Choice Scarf set wouldn't be able to break through. Flower Trick only requires minor chip to 2HKO Toxapex, while Knock Off removes Skarmory's Rocky Helmet, enabling Triple Axel use late-game. Triple Axel can easily clear Flying teams once Skarmory has been removed and notably 2HKOes physically defensive Corviknight after Stealth Rock damage. U-turn allows Meowscarada to escape unfavorable circumstances, pivoting into the appropriate teammate for threats like Archaludon, Gouging Fire, and Kingambit. Meowscarada values Kingambit's ability to combat Fairy- and Ice-types like Flutter Mane, Alolan Ninetales, and Weavile; in return, Meowscarada threatens Water- and Ground-types such as Swampert and Hippowdon. Choice Scarf Greninja and Hoopa-U scare away Fighting- and Poison-types like Iron Valiant, Okidogi, and Galarian Weezing while appreciating Knock Off and U-turn support from Meowscarada in exchange. Ting-Lu and Hydreigon both offer entry hazards to wear down the aforementioned walls, enhancing Meowscarada's ability to lure them in.
