SS Delibird PU Analysis

Overwiew:



Delibird appears to be a TERRIBLE Pokémon with AWFUL stats and a VERY BAD defensive type, but in fact, Delibird has a VERY strong attack with Hustle and Choice Band, and it can reach at 514 Atk without any boost!



Choice Band:



Move 1: Aerial Ace

Move 2: Ice Punch

Move 3: Brick Break / Facade / Drill Run

Move 4: Quick Attack / Ice Shard

Item: Choice Band

Ability: Hustle

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe

Nature: Jolly



Set Details

With this set, it can reach at 469 Atk without any boost.



Usage tips:

You can use a Hone Claws Speed Boost Ninjask and Baton Pass to Delibird to get a higher Accuracy, Attack and Speed.



Other options:

For reach at 514 Atk, you need to switch the nature to Adamant, however, it will be more vulnerable to attacks since its speed will be lower.



If you want a higher speed, use the following set:</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>Choice Scarf:

Checks and Counters:

In fact, all Pokémon can counter Delibird due its TERRIBLE defenses (specially Steel and Rock Types), but the best counters are: Klefki, Zacian, Zamazenta, Melmetal, Rhyperior, Rhydon, Klinklang, Steelix, Scizor, Relicanth, Registeel, Regirock, Escavalier, Chandelure, Carracosta and Drednaw.

Hey,

Delibird isn't up for reservation (see here for reference) and probably won't be for the foreseeable future. As such, I'll be locking and moving this thread, but feel free to reserve a Pokemon that's listed under "unreserved" in the link I provided and write its analysis if you would like.
