Pawmot is a solid threat in the UU metagame and becomes an excellent revenge killer when paired with Choice Scarf, threatening Pokemon like Talonflame, Wo-Chien, and Salamence. Pawmot's last moveslot can be either Revival Blessing or Seed Bomb. Revival Blessing allows Pawmot to revive a teammate on a forced switch, while Seed Bomb can threaten Pokemon like Quagsire and Gastrodon better. Revival Blessing is more commonly run, as Close Combat can usually do enough damage to break these walls with some entry hazard assistance. An Electric Tera type is vital for Pawmot, as it allows Pawmot to spam Double Shock without repercussion. Natural Cure allows Pawmot to shrug off burns from the likes of Talonflame and Altaria, as they would otherwise hinder Pawmot's offensive presence.
Choice Scarf Pawmot best fits on Spikes stacking teams in need of speed control. This makes Pokemon like Quagsire and Gastrodon good teammates, as they enjoy setting up Stealth Rock or Spikes, and the former can also use Toxic to chip teams down more efficiently for Pawmot. Pawmot struggles to deal with bulky Ground-types like Hippowdon, making teammates like Brambleghast and Wo-Chien appreciated due to their ability to soak up Earthquake while also removing hazards or removing off Heavy-Duty Boots to rack up entry hazard damage, respectively. Pokemon that can outspeed Pawmot, like Choice Scarf Gengar or +2 Polteageist, can cause major issues, making priority users like Scizor and Lycanroc-D good partners to KO these threats.
