Moves
========
• Swords dance allows bisharp to set up and sweep.
• Sucker punch is a big move for bisharp as it's a pretty powerful move and it has priority.
• knock off is there to hit slower pokemon for more damage.
• Knock off is important for knocking off a eviolite or a important item for the opponent.
Set Details
========
• Max attack and Max speed is used to max out bisharp's sweeping complicity.
• Jolly is used to make Bisharp as fast as possible as its already getting extra power from Swords dance and possibly Life Orb.
• Focus sash also makes it easier to set up, especially against things like sacred sword aegislash.
Usage Tips
========
• Bisharp is a sweeper so you will need to get rid of faster fighting pokemon or mach punchers. • Such as Conkelder who can just mach punch and pick up a kill if you are not focus sash.
• Also don't use sucker punch on pokemon who are obviously going for will-o-wisp or something that will cause sucker punch to fail.
Team Options
========
• Things that life cresselia gone work really well with bisharp.
• mega Salamence is a good partner as it can hit the fighting types with a super effective Aerilate move.
• Gengar is also a good partner as it can deal with fighting and ground types, also giving out burns to things like landorus-t and other checks to bisharp.
• Basically anything that takes care of bisharp checks and dislikes things walls like sylveon. • • • Cresselia also makes a good partner as it can switch directly into fighting and ground types and ice beam/psychic. It also supports bisharp by t-waving and slowing fast pokes down for bisharp to come and sweep later.
Checks & Counters
########
Ground types, such as garchomp, can come and earthquake. Fighting types, such as conkeldur, lucario, and blaziken, can come in freely to set up and kill bisharp. Bulky annoying waters, such as suicune, can come in and scald burn making them really hard to take down. Fire types, such as the mega charizards, get a free switch in to check pretty freely. Klefki checks both of bishops stabs and can thunder wave comfortably.
