Hello everyone, this thread is to discuss about Pokémon that have "low" usage but they are still worth using and also share some movesets that they can run. Without any further delay I'll start out with a Pokémon that is loved by the whole community because of its cuteness but hated because of its annoyance, WYNAUT:
With access to Shadow Tag one of the most annoying and useful abilities (even though Ghost types can escape it now and Knock Off's buff made it less of a threat) and accompanied by CounterCoat Wynaut proved itself previously as a main Meditite check but once the Meditate Pokémon got banned Wynaut's usage dropped hugely and people forgot. Encore can easily cripple some Pokémon and Safeguard to counter slow walls like Foongus. The main set the Wynaut runs is this one:
Wynaut (F) @ Berry Juice
Trait: Shadow Tag
EVs: 236 HP / 132 Def / 132 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Counter
- Mirror Coat
- Encore
- Destiny Bond / Safeguard / Tickle
EVs give it max possible HP making it hit 29 HP (totaling 49 with Berry Juice), Counter and Mirror Coat make Wynaut what it currently is and form the CounterCoat combo, Encore is to lock Pokémon in one move and cripple them and, Destiny Bond as a last resort and Safeguard to counter slow walls. Speed EVs can be used to be able to outspeed Pokémon like Ferroseed and cripple them.
