Spectrier @ Leftovers
Ability: Grim Neigh
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 72 HP / 252 Def / 184 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Hex
- Draining Kiss
- Will-O-Wisp

Spectrier grimly laughs as it slowly snowballs through opposing teams! With full defensive investment and Will-O-Wisp to cripple opposing physical attackers, Spectrier is able to set up on unexpected threats, even dodging the KO from burned Adamant Roaring Moon. Will-O-Wisp also pulls double duty in powering up Hex. Calm Mind shores up Spectrier's middling bulk while also setting it up for a sweep. Tera Fairy, in addition to being an excellent defensive typing and flipping the table on both of Spectrier's former weaknesses, gives it a STAB 60-Base Power Draining Kiss, providing potent coverage against Dark- and Normal-types, and longevity. 184 Speed EVs let Spectrier outpace Cyclizar and all formes of Arceus, preventing it from dancing freely against Spectrier. Between Calm Mind, Will-O-Wisp, and Tera Fairy, this set punishes Spectrier's normal counterplay such as Arceus-Dark and Terapagos at the cost of waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less initial offensive firepower and being more susceptible to being checked by Magearna. This Spectrier set strongly appreciates strong wallbreaking teammates like Palkia-O and Nasty Plot Mewtwo that can wear down the opposing team, especially Magearna, to enable it to clean late-game.

Strong teammates that can scare out offensive threats preventing Spectrier from setting up include Deoxys and Palkia-O, as they more than make up for the lack of initial damage.

Between Calm Mind, Will-O-Wisp, and Tera Fairy, this set punishes Spectrier's normal counterplay such as Arceus-Dark, (comma) and Terapagos, and Cyclizar Cyclizar has never been a spectrier check, at the cost of waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less initial offensive firepower, and being more susceptible to being checked by Magearna. Strong teammates that can scare out offensive threats preventing Spectrier from setting up include Deoxys and Palkia-O, as they more than make up for the lack of initial damage. I think that the closing statement on mons that pair well should focus more on wallbreakers that can poke holes in an opponent's team, especially against Magearna. As opposed to Spectrier's typical Nasty Plot Life Orb set which is itself a wallbreaker, the CM Wisp set is moreso a late-game cleaner which needs walls to be properly broken down in order to leverage its deceptively high bulk to sweep the opponent's team. CM Arc-Ice, CM Arc-Elec, Moltres-Galar, and Mewtwo are all setup sweepers that can fit the bill, while Palkia-Origin, Deoxys, Iron Bundle, and Mewtwo (again lmao) are wallbreakers that utilize their immediate power to pressure Magearna.
