Overqwil @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Gunk Shot
- Crunch
- Liquidation
On top of threatening a number of defensive staples like Gholdengo, Clefable, and Hydrapple, Overqwil has recently carved a niche as a potent wallbreaker and sweeper on rain teams because it immediately threatens Ogerpon-W, doesn't fear common revenge killers like Kingambit and Rillaboom, and serves as a Toxic Spikes absorber, all of which are valuable assets for the archetype. Liquidation lets Overqwil deal significant damage to Pokemon that resist its STAB moves, such as Ting-Lu and offensive Kingambit, picking up 2HKOs on both in rain. Tera Water can be used to boost Liquidation's potency even more, guaranteeing an OHKO on Ting-Lu in rain, always OHKOing Tinkaton, and having a good chance to OHKO Corviknight in rain after a Swords Dance boost. Pelipper is a mandatory teammate for Overqwil in order to activate Swift Swim. Overqwil can struggle against dedicated physical walls like Dondozo and Zamazenta, so it benefits from specially offensive teammates like Raging Bolt and Tornadus-T that can remove them. Overqwil also appreciates entry hazard removal, since it quickly gets worn down by Life Orb recoil and hazard damage, making Iron Treads an important partner.
