Dubwool @ Leftovers/Sitrus/Lum/Salac Berry
Ability: Fluffy
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Body Press
- Payback/Substitute
- Cotton Guard
- Baton Pass
We have something that really wants to be passed buffs a la power trip, and we also have a meta full of physical attackers, so why not establish a lead that hard walls the opposition, and can pass out on turn 2 after soaking a blow? Cotton Guard + Fluffy makes Dubwool near-unbreakable on the physical front, and in the case body press/payback isn't good damage on the opposite site of the field, it can safely set up and pass to our polteageist for a safer set up, or a whammy from power trip.
Payback is for ghost coverage, though in the 88 speed tier it actually outspeeds a number of mons in the meta without investment (and a buffed body press on its own can sweep some teams). If you're ok with leaving that hole open, substitute makes the 2nd cotton guard and/or baton pass safer, and can be used to stall dynamax turns.
Lum berry is for a free set-up turn, as the sheep doesn't appreciate status, and can use the berry to scout and 'pass out. Leftovers/Sitrus are interchangable safety bulk options depending on how the rest of the team gets drafted, and Salac berry empowers the likehood of getting the pass off in the face of heavy scarfed damage, and passes another stage upgrade to either our Corviknight or Polteageist.
