Raging Bolt @ Air Balloon / Magnet
Ability: Protosynthesis
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
- Thunderclap
- Draco Meteor
Calm Mind Raging Bolt blasts away the competition for Electric teams due to its great Special Attack and priority with Thunderclap. Thunderbolt after a boost OHKOes neutral targets such as Galarian Weezing and Cinderace. After a Calm Mind, Thunderclap becomes a fierce priority move, taking out threats like Chien-Pao. At +1, Draco Meteor becomes a powerful STAB move, OHKOing Ursaluna-B, Amoonguss, and Gliscor, which is huge for Electric teams. Air Balloon allows Raging Bolt to have a temporary Ground immunity, whereas Magnet can be run to amplify its Thunderclap to always OHKO Iron Valiant and the aforementioned Chien-Pao at +1, but doing so leaves Raging Bolt vulnerable to Ground. Zapdos and Rotom-W provide Ground immunities once Raging Bolt's Air Balloon has been popped. Furthermore, Zapdos handles Fighting-types like Great Tusk and Kommo-o, while Rotom-W threatens Excadrill and Mamoswine and weakens the aforementioned foes with Will-O-Wisp. Choice Scarf Pawmot provides speed control for Raging Bolt while dealing with special walls like Hisuian Goodra and Blissey and offering Revival Blessing support to give Raging Bolt a second chance at sweeping.
