Sylveon Looks adorable Only eeveelution that doesn’t suck balls in ubers Fairy type is great Huge special defense stat, paired with above average hp and sp atk stats Pixilate makes it pack a punch Faces competition from Xerneas, Fairyceus and Clefable for its role Hates hates HATES mega gengar Sylveon (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Pixilate EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD Calm Nature (+SpDef, -Atk) - Hyper Voice - Wish - Protect - Heal Bell great cleric has certain advantages over Xerneas (Wish > ResTalk), Fairyceus (heal bell) and clefable (130spdef > 95spdef) wish and heal bell to keep itself and the team healthy great check/counter to a lot of special attackers in ubers such as Yveltal, Palkia (outside of rain), Darkrai (watch out for boosted sludge bombs) and can even stall out scarfogre’s surf pixilated hyper voice is pretty strong and goes through substitutes poor defense stat means it should be kept away from physical attacks unless emergencies other options shed shell as a middle finger to mega gengar and gothitelle albeit the latter is very uncommon baton pass is a cool move instead of heal bell to gain momentum. Learns calm mind too, so cm + bp to pokemon like scarf ogre is a fun option Specs pixilate hyper beam fucks shit up but it’s very gimmicky and outclassed Psyshock and shadow balls are options to 2HKO mega gengar Toxic for annoying switch ins such as support arceus or ho-oh C&C Mega gengar traps sylveon with taunt + sludge wave/bomb, so sylveon really needs a pursuit trapper/shed shell Ho-oh can swith in with impunity and beat sylveon up with its strong stabs (Bulky) sweepers use sylveon as set up fodder: cm fairy/ghost/water … arceus, ekiller as well as geoxern who just overpowers sylveon steel types laugh at everything sylveon throws at them: aegislash, ferrothorn, steelceus dislikes residual damage (status, hazards, sandstorm) because it needs to be in top shape to beat the threats it’s supposed to check.
