VGC Chi-Yu

[LovelyLuna]

[OVERVIEW]

* With an excellent Special Attack stat, which is bolstered by Beads of Ruin and great STAB moves, Chi-Yu threatens its foes with the highest damage output in the format and Chi-Yu is capable of OHKOing the majority of the metagame. Beads of Ruin also helps increase Chi-Yu's partner's offensive pressure.

* Chi-Yu struggles due to its mediocre Speed stat, so speed control from Tornadus and Speed Booster Energy Flutter Mane is greatly appreciated. Choice Scarf Chi-Yu prefers teaming up with offensive threats like Choice Specs Flutter Mane to make up for the lost damage output. Tornadus and Flutter Mane can also help take care of the Urshifu formes, which threaten Chi-Yu, while Chi-Yu can in return increase their damage output with Beads of Ruin as well as remove Steel-types like Kingambit.

* Chi-Yu struggles against Pokemon that can take its attacks and either hinder it or exploit its weak defensive profile. Incineroar and Raging Bolt are great answers to Chi-Yu, as they can comfortably take all of its attacks and disrupt it through tools such as Fake Out, Knock Off, Parting Shot, Electroweb, and Snarl. Once Terastallized, Ogerpon-W also takes Chi-Yu's attacks incredibly well and threatens an OHKO on it with Ivy Cudgel.

Modest Nature
- Heat Wave
- Dark Pulse
- Snarl

[SET COMMENTS]

* Snarl is used as utility and a way to check special attacking compositions such as Farigiraf + Ursaluna-B. Overheat is appreciated as a single target nuke, hitting almost twice as hard as Heat Wave.

* Choice Specs is used to give Chi-Yu maximum offensive pressure and allow it to pick up OHKOes on Amoonguss and Kingambit with Heat Wave. Alternatively, Chi-Yu can opt for Choice Scarf to outspeed threats like Landorus, Chien-Pao, and Flutter Mane.

* The HP EVs allow for Chi-Yu to avoid the 2HKO from Flutter Mane's Moonblast and once Terastallized into the Ghost-type, almost always survive -1 Adamant Chien-Pao's Sucker Punch. The Speed EVs allow Chi-Yu to outspeed the Adamant Urshifu formes.

* Chi-Yu prefers Tera Ghost to remove its Fighting weakness and be immune to common priority moves like Fake Out and Extreme Speed, which is crucial to preserve momentum. Although Chi-Yu can utilize Tera Fire to significantly increase its damage output, allowing Choice Scarf Chi-Yu to OHKO Ogerpon-W and Flutter Mane with Overheat and Choice Specs variants to remove Assault Vest Kingambit and Rillaboom with Heat Wave.

[OVERVIEW]

* With an excellent Special Attack stat, bolstered by Beads of Ruin, Chi-Yu makes for an outstanding offensive Pokemon. with its STABs its capable of at least 2HKOing almost the entire metagame, Choice Specs variants being able to OHKO bulky staples like Amoonguss, Kingambit, with Heat Wave, and even Flutter Mane when using Overheat.

* Chi-Yu struggles due to its mediocre speed stat, so speed control like Tornadus and Speed Booster Energy Flutter Mane are greatly appreciated. The two can also help take care of the Urshifu formes, which threaten Chi-Yu. Chi-Yu can in return remove Steel-types and increase their (this could be seen as increasing the steel type's damage output, no?) damage output with Beads of Ruin. Choice Scarf Chi-Yu makes up for this issue but is incapable of picking up as many OHKOs, so strong damage dealers like Choice Specs Flutter Mane are its best partners.

* Incineroar is Chi-Yu's best counter as it resists its STAB moves and can disturb it with Fake Out, Parting Shot, and Knock Off. Assault Vest Raging Bolt and Terastallized Ogerpon-W can also take Chi-Yu's attacks and the latter threatens to remove it (Raging Bolt is not removing Chi-yu, it slows it down with Electroweb and Snarl if you choose to mention it).

(Maybe mention either in a new paragraph or the above paragraph offensive threats that can ko it if they outspeed, like the Urshifu formes you already talked about, Lando-I, Chien-Pao etc)

* Snarl is used as utility and a way to check threats in Psychic Terrain such as Hatterene and Iron Crown (This is the main use for snarl, but maybe mention how strong of a move it already is, I'll leave this up to you). Overheat is appreciated as a single target nuke, hitting almost twice as hard as Heat Wave.

* Choice Specs is used to give Chi-Yu maximum offensive pressure, and allow it to 2HKO the majority of the format. Chi-Yu can opt for Choice Scarf to outspeed threats like Landorus, Chien-Pao, and Flutter Mane.

* The HP EVs allow for Chi-Yu to take Special Attack Booster Energy Flutter Mane's Tera Fairy Moonblast, and when Terastallized, Mystic Wtaer Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes. The Speed EVs allow Chi-Yu to outspeed the Adamant Urshifu formes.

*Chi-Yu prefers Tera Ghost to remove its Fighting weakness and be immune to common priority like Fake Out and Extreme Speed, which is crucial, as it can't use Protect.

[Jesuuuus]

I am of the opinion that Scarf Chi-yu and specs chi-yu require separate spreads, mainly due to the different speed tiers.
edit: nevermind lol

 

[Choruto]

Nitpicking as always, looks good honestly Im tryna only do 1 check so theres a lotta red and blue :3 I'll see how it goes on disc
You know the colours

[OVERVIEW]

* With an excellent Special Attack stat, bolstered by Beads of Ruin, Chi-Yu makes for an outstanding offensive Pokemon Not the greatest fan of how this is phrased, Chi Yu isen't that outstanding as an offensive prescense and it flows kinda weird, you think you could combine the first 2 into 1 sentence and maybe highlight beads of ruin helping its partner be more offensive?. with its STABs its capable of at least 2HKOing almost the entire metagame, Is this a benefit of the stabs itself, chi yus offensive presence, the typing? Esp since you mention later that mons like incin and urshifu-r wall it, I think you could be a bit more specific or smh. Maybe highlight spread attacks being rly good. Choice Specs variants being able to OHKO bulky staples like Amoonguss, Kingambit, with Heat Wave, and even Flutter Mane when using Overheat. Isen't this more of a set comment? You already mention its capable of ohkoing a lot of stuff and I think people already come in with that impression of Chi Yu even from a casual fan base, I mean theres a whole website to if chi yu ohkoes stuff

* Chi-Yu struggles due to its mediocre speed stat suffers thanks to being in a crowded speed tier Its speed stat isen't that mediocre, its more so being at a speed tier with tons of other mons, so speed control like from Tornadus and Speed Booster Energy Flutter Mane are is greatly appreciated Its pretty much just these 2 mons, I think you can say from. The two can also help take care of the Urshifu formes and other Fighting-types, with Chi-Yu handling Steel-types as well as greatly boosting their offensive pressure thanks to Beads of Ruin. which threaten Chi-Yu. Chi-Yu can in return increase their damage output with Beads of Ruin as well as remove the Steel-types like Kingambit. Put it however you want, just thought there wasen't the need for the sentence break. Also, maybe mention Sunny Day torn? Choice Scarf Chi-Yu makes up for this issue but is incapable of picking up as many OHKOs, so strong damage dealers like Choice Specs Flutter Mane are its best partners. This is a set comment no, I think just axe it as both have the same teamates and scarf isen't that common anyways.

* Incineroar is Chi-Yu's best counter as it resists its STAB moves and can disturb it with Fake Out, Parting Shot, and Knock Off. Assault Vest Raging Bolt and Terastallized Ogerpon-W can also take Chi-Yu's attacks well, the former hindering it through Snarl and Eletroweb, while the latter threatens to remove it

* Chi-Yu struggles against Pokemon that can reliably take its attacks and exploit its weak defensive profile, nullifying its main advantage. Incineroar and Assault Vest Raging Bolt are difficult match ups, with the former resisting both of Chi-Yu's STAB moves and disrupting it with Fake Out, Parting Shot, and Knock Off, and the latter hindering it with Electroweb and Snarl. Ogerpon-W once Terastallized also takes Chi-Yu's attacks very well, and threatens an OHKO with Ivy Cudgel. There was nothing wrong with the above info, I thought It might be important to clarify why they are bad mus, as in my personal experience its moreso any mon that can slow it down enough. You can phrase however you like, just keep the general idea.

[SET COMMENTS]

* Snarl is used as utility and a way to check threats in Psychic Terrain such as Hatterene and Iron Crown How relevant are these mons, and why Psychic terrain specifically? BM + Fig, or bypassing Follow Me say sound much more important imo, thats what I've used Snarl for. Overheat is appreciated as a single target nuke, hitting almost twice as hard as Heat Wave.

* Choice Specs (AS) is used to give Chi-Yu maximum offensive pressure, and allow it to 2HKO the majority of the format I know what your getting at, but the whole analysis has been hyping up its offensive pressure then here it sounds like it can only 2HKO much of the format, can you maybe pull the ohko examples from the first paragraph here?. Chi-Yu can opt for Choice Scarf to outspeed threats like Landorus, Chien-Pao, and Flutter Mane.

* The HP EVs allow for Chi-Yu to take Special Attack Booster Energy Flutter Mane's Tera Fairy Moonblast, and when Terastallized, Mystic Wtaer Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes You got any other calcs? These dont feel exactly that relevant rn. The Speed EVs allow Chi-Yu to outspeed the Adamant Urshifu formes. Its basically 252 252, tbh you dont need to mention it. If you do, then bring something else up, as Chi Yu isen't really hurting either forms much.

*Chi-Yu prefers Tera Ghost to remove its Fighting weakness and be immune to common priority like Fake Out and Extreme Speed, which is crucial, as it can't use Protect to preserve offensive momentum IMO Protect is true, but this feels like the big one, its why mons like Scarf Urshifu-R or Band fu dont run tera ghost. Chi-Yu can utilize Tera Fire to significantly increase its damage output, allowing for potential OHKOs on Ogerpon-W and Flutter Mane with Overheat, while Choice Specs variants can remove Assault Vest Kingambit and Rillaboom with Heat Wave, Idk, looking at lab maus tera fire has had like less than 10% usage everywhere, Ghost is just so important. I think you just axe this

(Mention how frail chiyu is in either this or the below paragraph. Mediocre speed isn't a problem in and of itself, it's that coupled with getting easily ohkoed.)

* Snarl is used as utility (completely fine but you could also mention that it's good spread damage because of how powerful chiyu is) and a way to check special attacking compositions such as Farigiraf Ursaluna-B.

AM Check Feedback

- The "speed" in "speed control" isn't actually capitalized because it's talking about controlling the turn order rather than the actual stat.
- "Choiced" is fine as a set name.
- In the Choice Specs sentence, it's talking about multiple OHKOes rather than a single OHKO.
- "and" should only be preceded by a comma when it is linking two independent clauses (parts of a sentence that make sense on their own even if you remove the rest of a sentence). For example "Allow it to pick up OHKOes on Amoonguss and Kingambit with Heat Wave." doesn't work as a standalone sentence, so there should not be a comma in the Choice Specs sentence.
- In the Tera Fire sentence, it's better if the Choice Scarf and Choice Specs points aren't linked with a word that shows contrast so it's clear Tera Fire lets both things happen.
