Reuniclus

Not open for further replies.
[OVERVIEW]

* Reuniclus has access to one of the best abilities in the game in Magic Guard, giving it an immunity to passive damage.
* Access to Calm Mind, combined with its solid bulk and Magic Guard, make Reuniclus a dangerous sweeper.
* It seperates itself from Clefable thanks to its greater Special Attack and ability to beat special walls and win Calm Mind wars with Psyshock.
* Reuniclus can also use its high Special Attack, solid coverage, and very low speed to potentially use a trick room set to dismantle offensive teams.
* Very low speed leave Reuniclus forced to go last the majority of the time.
* It's typing gives it weaknesses to common types in Dark, Bug, and Ghost, all of which are carried by very common threats in the metagame, including Krookodile, Scizor, and Gengar.
* Reuniclus can't use its resistances as well as it would like because most Fighting and Psychic types like Conkeldurr and Mew carry coverage that can break through Reuniclus.

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

* Calm Mind boosts Reuniclus' Special Attack and Special Defense, making it hit harder and allowing it to take more special hits
* Psyshock is Reuniclus' main source of damage, providing STAB, and allowing Reuniclus to break special walls like Blissey
* Recover allows Reuniclus to keep itself healthy throughout the match
* Focus Blast hits Dark and Steel types that would normally wall Reuniclus
* Toxic can not only put opponents on a timer, but it also allows Reuniclus to boost its Defense one stage if used with Poisonium Z. However, this leaves it walled by Steel types completely, and more vulnerable to Dark types

Set Details
========

* Maximum HP and Defense evs along with a Bild nature give Reuniclus maximum survivability on the physical side, allowing it to shrug off physical attacks as well as possible.
* 4 evs in Speed allow Reuniclus to creep past uninvested base 30 Speed Pokémon like Amoongus and Snorlax
* Leftovers provide passive recovery for Reuniclus, allowing it to heal without using Recover
* Colbur Berry allows Reuniclus to tank Dark type attacks once, allowing Reuniclus to either escape from Pursuit of fire back at the user of the Dark type attack
* Poisonium Z is used with Toxic to boost Reuniclus' defense stat by one stage, making it more difficult to break Reuniclus

Usage Tips
========

Describe how to use the Pokemon in question.

Team Options
========

* Reuniclus appreciates having hazards wear down the opposing team, making its job much easier. Stealth Rock support from the likes of Hippowdon, Cobalion, Gliscor, and Krookodile, and Spikes from Klefki help wear down the opposing team
* Dark types such as Bisharp and Krookodile can dispose of bulky Psychic types like Slowbro and Celebi, which Reuniclus otherwise has trouble with unless it gathers up boosts
