VGC Scream Tail (GP - 1/1)

[fyfyy]

[OVERVIEW]

* Scream Tail has strong supportive moves such as Encore and Disable, which it can consistently use to disrupt opposing Pokemon thanks to its great natural bulk and Speed.

* Scream Tail works well alongside Pokemon such as Gholdengo and Ogerpon-W, as it can punish passive plays and shut down Choice-locked threats such as opposing Flutter Mane and Urshifu-R, locking them into resisted Fairy- and Water-type attacks for Gholdengo and Ogerpon-W, respectively.

* Scream Tail cannot provide any offensive pressure outside Dazzling Gleam and hence is completely reliant on its partners to deal damage. It is also vulnerable to being shut down by moves such as Taunt from Tornadus and Spore from Amoonguss. Scream Tail struggles against Gholdengo, which completely counters Scream Tail by being immune to status moves thanks to Good as Gold.

* The EV spread allows it to survive Choice Specs Flutter Mane Shadow Ball while comfortably taking a Tera Water Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R and Tera Dark Wicked Blow from Urshifu-S.

* Tera Dark is preferred for Prankster Taunt immunity and a Ghost resistance. Alternatively, Tera Grass can be used to provide immunity to powder moves from Amoonguss.

[OVERVIEW]

* Scream Tail is a Bulky Pokemon with strong supporting supportive movepool. It provides disruption by using Disable and Encore to completely nullify opposing Pokemon allowing its partners to set up or click high damage moves. (Not enough in my opinion, why is scream tail the best for the job? Mention how fast and bulky it is)

* Scream Tail works well alongside Pokemon such as Gholdengo, especially Nasty Plot variants and and Regidrago. It can shut down threats such as opposing Flutter Mane locking it into one move and forcing it to struggle or switch the subsequent turns.

* Scream Tail cannot provide any offensive pressure outside Dazzling Gleam, and hence is completely reliant on its partners to deal damage. It can also be shut down by moves such as Taunt and Spore, making it completely vulnerable It is also vulnerable to being shut down by moves such as Taunt from Tornadus and Spore from Amoonguss (I think this is a better way to phrase it, saying it's vulnerable after getting shut down makes no sense, you can also say that it becomes deadweight/useless, also mention some specific Pokemon that give it problems, like how Amoonguss is the one carrying spore and torn is the one carrying taunt. Gholdengo is a good mention as it's immune to both encore and disable and can threaten Scream Tail with Make it Rain).

If you change the spread, also edit my addition in set comments accordingly.)

* Scream Tail has a strong supportive movepool such as Encore and Disable, which it can consistently use to disrupt opposing Pokemon thanks to its great natural bulk and Speed.

* Scream Tail works well alongside Pokemon such as Gholdengo, especially Nasty Plot variants and and Regidrago. and Ogerpon-W, (AC) as It can shut down Choice locked threats such as opposing Flutter Mane and Urshifu-R, locking them into resisted Fairy- and Water-type attacks for Gholdengo and Ogerpon-W respectively. locking it into one move and forcing it to struggle or switch the subsequent turns. (Scream Tail is mostly paired with Urshifu-S and Waterpon for the reasons highlighted, keeping Dengo is probably fine but I think removing Drago is fair, its taking big damage from Flutter Shadow Ball anyways.)

* Scream Tail cannot provide any offensive pressure outside Dazzling Gleam, and hence is completely reliant on its partners to deal damage. It is also vulnerable to being shut down by moves such as Taunt from Tornadus and Spore from Amoonguss.
