PU Alcremie (QC 2/2) (GP 1/1)

uploading -mz

[OVERVIEW]

Alcremie is a defensive Fairy-type that can check strong Fighting-types such as Sawk and Gallade. Alcremie has some advantages over the other Fairy-types in the tier, distinguishing itself from Aromatisse with its combination of Calm Mind + Recover and from Ribombee with its better bulk and pure Fairy typing. Alcremie also learns Mystical Fire, which allows it to threaten Steel-types such as Doublade more effectively than its competition. Additionally, Alcremie's ability Aroma Veil makes it particularly difficult to stop after one or two Calm Mind boosts, as it can't be afflicted by Taunt or Encore from the likes of Jellicent and Whimsicott. However, Ribombee is usually a better choice due to its much higher Speed, while Aromatisse is bulkier overall.

[SET COMMENTS]
Calm Mind makes Alcremie a threatening sweeper, as it becomes difficult to KO after a boost. Alternatively, Mystical Fire gives Alcremie more of an immediate offensive presence, as it can punish switches into common Steel-type Pokemon such as Ferroseed and Doublade. Aromatherapy makes it difficult to stop Calm Mind Alcremie with status moves such as Toxic, and provides team support on Mystical Fire sets. Alternatively, Acid Armor can be run alongside Calm Mind, allowing Alcremie to set up on both physical attackers such as Gallade and weak special attackers such as Jellicent. However, this makes Alcremie vulnerable to status, so a similar set with Rest and Stored Power instead of Recover and Dazzling Gleam can be run instead. The valuable Aromatherapy support Alcremie provides makes defensive teammates that dislike status such as Tangela and Jellicent good partners. Alcremie's Aromatherapy also pairs well with Pokemon that regularly run Rest, such as Wishiwashi. Alternatively, it can allow some Pokemon, such as Gigalith and Ferroseed, to run Rest when they otherwise wouldn't. Alcremie also appreciates teammates that can handle powerful Posion- and Steel-type Pokemon such as Qwilfish and Silvally-Steel, which makes Doublade and Quagsire good partners.

[OVERVIEW]

Alcremie is a defensive Fairy-type that can check strong Fighting-types such as Scrafty and Gallade. Alcremie has some advantages over the other Fairies in the tier, distinguishing itself from Aromatisse with its combination of Calm Mind + Recover and from Ribombee due to its better bulk and pure Fairy typing. Alcremie also learns Mystical Fire which allows it to threaten Steel-types such as Doublade better than the previous two. Additionally, Alcremie's ability Aroma Veil makes it particularly difficult to stop after one or two Calm Minds as it can't be Taunted or Encored.

mention one or two of alcremie's flaws somewhere here and maybe include why other fairies are generally better.

Calm Mind makes Alcremie threatening as a sweeper as it's difficult to kill after a boost and Aromatherapy makes it difficult to stop Alcremie with status moves such as Toxic. (separate this into two sentences, one for each move.) (discuss cm vs mystical fire here, the two moves are slashed in the same slot. the sentence about aromatherapy can go directly after the one about mystical fire.) Alternatively, Acid Armour (armor) can be run alongside Calm Mind to make Alcremie virtually impossible to kill with damaging moves, assuming there is no critical hit. This does make you vulnerable to status however. Mystical Fire makes Alcremie less of a threat as a sweeper, but it allows it to be more of an immediate threat into common Steel-type switch-ins such as Ferroseed and Doublade due to it's base 110 Special Attack (your point still stands without this last bit.). The valuable Heal Bell support Alcremie provides makes defensive teammates who dislike status such as Tangela or Jellicent good partners. Alcremie's Heal Bell also pairs well with with Pokemon who regularly run rest, such as Wishiwashi, or it can allow some Pokemon who don't normally run rest to run it, such as Gigalith or Ferroseed.

add a quick point about checks to poisons and steels. you already had a few examples of mons that can do that job, so you could mention that they also matchup well against mons of those types. also, i added the credits beneath this line for you.

Calm Mind makes Alcremie threatening as a sweeper as it's difficult to kill after a boost. Alternatively Mystical Fire gives Alcremie more of an immediate presences as it can punish switches into common Steel-type Pokemon such as Ferroseed and Doublade. Aromatherapy makes it difficult to stop Alcremie's set-up set with status moves such as Toxic, while supporting teammates on Mystical Fire sets. Alternatively, Acid Armor can be run alongside Calm Mind to make Alcremie virtually impossible to kill with damaging moves, assuming there is no critical hit this can prob be rephrased as a whole, leaving out the bit on crits and including mons u set up on. This does make you vulnerable to status however. could mention rest + stored power set here The valuable Heal Bell support Alcremie provides makes defensive teammates who dislike status such as Tangela or Jellicent good partners. Alcremie's Heal Bell also pairs well with with Pokemon who regularly run rest, such as Wishiwashi, or it can allow some Pokemon who don't normally run rest to run it, such as Gigalith or Ferroseed. Alcremie also appreciates teammates that can handle powerful Posion and Steel-type Pokemon like? which makes Doublade and Quagsire good partners.

(better multiple times in the same sentence felt a bit repetitive, your call though)
