Scovillain @ Choice Specs
Ability: Chlorophyll
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Overheat
- Solar Beam
- Fire Blast
- Flamethrower

Scovillain was a central piece to the sun teams that dominated NU for one main reason: it's a Fire-type Pokemon with Chlorophyll. This absurd combination, especially when you factor in Terastallization, made it both incredibly strong and super fast under sun, establishing it as the premier wallbreaker on such teams. Tera Fire Overheat's damage potential under sun was insane, with it OHKOing some of NU's bulkiest Pokemon such as Alolan Muk and Slowbro after Stealth Rock damage, and its boosted Flamethrower was similarly great at running through teams. Additionally, Scovillain could smack certain Fire-resistant foes like Diancie, Flygon, and Vaporeon with Solar Beam, which further complicated dealing with it. Scovillain's offensive profile being so dominant meant your best bet at handling it was offensively, like with Accelerock Lycanroc-D, Extreme Speed Lucario, and First Impression Flygon. Tanks such as Dragalge, Assault Vest Tera Dragon Magnezone, and Incineroar were also some of your best defensive options to slow down the villainous pepper. So, sun teams frequently worked to overload these answers with other sun sweepers like Venusaur, Shiftry, and Lilligant. Similarly, Scovillain has some of the worst bulk imaginable, so pivot support like Memento Ninetales, Eject Button Slowbro, and Flip Turn Swampert helped get it onto the field more safely.

Yeah, they let this guy be good in NU. Scovillain is a central piece to the sun teams that currently dominate NU for one main reason: it's a Fire-type Pokemon with Chlorophyll. This absurd combination, especially when you factor in Terastallization, makes it both incredibly strong and super fast under sun, establishing it as the premier wallbreaker on such teams. Maybe mention that Modest is greedy and fails to outpace Scarf Mienshao? idk up to you. Tera Fire Overheat's damage potential under sun is insane to say the least, with it OHKOing some of NU's bulkiest Pokemon such as Alolan Muk and Slowbro after Stealth Rock damage, and its boosted Flamethrower is similarly great at running through teams. Additionally, Scovillain's able to smack certain Fire-resistant foes like Diancie, Flygon, and Vaporeon with Solar Beam, which further complicates dealing with it. Scovillain's offensive profile being so dominant means your best bet at handling it will often be offensive answers, like Accelerock Lycanroc-D, Extreme Speed Lucario, and First Impression Flygon. Tanks such as Dragalge, Assault Vest Tera Dragon Magnezone, and Incineroar are also some of your best defensive options to slow down the villainous pepper. I think this wording helps (continue to) signal that your defensive answer to Scovillain also needs to be able to damage it back. So, sun teams frequently work to overload these answers with other sun sweepers like Venusaur, Shiftry, and Lilligant. Similarly, Scovillain has some of the worst bulk imaginable, so extra support like Memento Ninetales, Eject Button Slowbro, and Flip Turn Swampert helps get it onto the field more safely.

Yeah, they let this guy be good in NU informal is ok right?. Scovillain is a central piece to the sun teams that currently dominate NU for one main reason: it's a Fire-type Pokemon with Chlorophyll. This absurd combination, especially when you factor factoring in Terastallization, makes it both incredibly strong and super fast under sun, establishing it as the premier wallbreaker on such teams.

So, sun teams frequently work to overload these answers with other sun sweepers like Venusaur, Shiftry, and Lilligant. Similarly, Scovillain has some of the worst bulk imaginable, so extra pivot doesnt cost characters to specify what support support like Memento Ninetales, Eject Button Slowbro, and Flip Turn Swampert helps get it onto the field more safely.
first time in a while im looking at spotlights, if using "you" is fine here then ignore those edits, if not 1/1 GP Team done
