Reuniclus acts as an amazing mid- to late-game sweeper thanks to a couple of different factors. Calm Mind plus Iron Defense and reliable recovery make it incredibly hard to break by any team once it starts getting a few boosts. Magic Guard further boosts this combination by making it immune to entry hazards and residual damage, most notably poison, which would otherwise inhibit its entire function. Stored Power is its primary attack, which scales incredibly over time as Reuniclus gains more stat boosts. However, be wary of using Reuniclus, as with Stored Power being its only attack, it cannot do much in a battle without first having some stat boosts and is left walled by any Dark-type. It is important to take advantage of passive Pokemon that do not threaten Reuniclus at all by using it as an opportunity to set up with either Calm Mind or Iron Defense.

As Reuniclus is completely ineffective if there is any Dark-type Pokemon on the opponent's team, it is crucial that Dark-types be eliminated before even attempting to set up with Reuniclus. Therefore, Pokemon such as Hatterene, Gardevoir, and Gallade are all crucial for their STAB Fairy- and Fighting-type attacks to take down opposing Dark-types. Pokemon with Fire-type coverage such as Indeedee also greatly benefit Reuniclus, as they can help take down Steel-types that resist Reuniclus's only attack. Indeedee also provides a Ghost-type immunity, which Reuniclus can struggle to take on before setting up.

Read through this a couple times and nothing really stood out in terms of changes to make. Maybe add a usage tip about when or against what to get Reuniclus into play and set up?

Pretty straightforward analysis for a straightforward Pokemon, nice job. QC 1/2

 

[Kev]

can add something about Indeedee's immunity to Ghost-type attacks that make it difficult for Reuniclus to set up? And mention how Reuniclus is beneficial to its teammates

QC 2/2
