Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

Hey! You’re right, Garganacl is nasty with T-spikes up. I do have to ask: why Heavy-Duty Boots on Pawmot? Pawmot is vulnerable to hazards, yes, but with a SR resistance I feel like Leppa Berry or Sash would be the superior option for it.

boots are so that it dont die as soon as it switch in. Spikes and tspikes really ruin it and making it longevity null especially as its one of my pivots.my spinner is cb tusk who cant spin that often.

I gotcha, though in my opinion Pawmot doesn’t really need longevity, per se. Pawmot’s job really is to just use Revival Blessing. With its decent speed it should be able to do so against plenty of threats in the metagame. With Leppa, it can sometimes even get it twice, which is massive.

Pawmot really only needs that one, maybe two turns on the field. It’s usefulness is pretty mid beyond revival blessing, and there are better Electric and Fighting types overall, so I don’t think longevity is something to be super concerned with Pawmot.
