Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Stored Power
- Acid Armor
- Recover
The UU tier is no match for this psychic blob's power! Calm Mind + Acid Armor makes Reuniclus a bulky setup sweeper that can snowball out of control very quickly, setting up on passive walls like Slowking, Chansey, and Hippowdon. With Stored Power, it can use these boosts to muscle past these walls and other checks, such as Scizor and Celesteela. Recover keeps Reuniclus healthy, letting it serve as a long-term wincon with multiple entry points throughout a game. Magic Guard stifles any attempts at wearing it down through status, sand, and entry hazards, making it incredibly hard to deal with once it sets up. This set is entirely walled by Dark-types like Zarude and Hydreigon, so partners that can take care of them such as Cobalion and Primarina are heavily appreciated. Cobalion can also break through Slowking and Chansey with Swords Dance. Nihilego and Scizor can slowly wear down Steel-types like Celesteela, which makes an end-game sweep much easier with Reuniclus.
