[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its high base Attack and Speed stats and U-turn, Meowscarada functions incredibly as an offensive pivot and wallbreaker. U-turn allows Meowscarada to switch out of problematic matchups such as Corviknight and Kingambit and into threats like Iron Moth and Iron Hands to scare them away. Trick enables Meowscarada to punish bulky walls like Corviknight, Skarmory, and Mandibuzz looking to switch in on it; alternatively, Triple Axel provides a way for Meowscarada to hit Dragonite, Mandibuzz, and Chesnaught for super effective damage. Meowscarada can use Choice Band to OHKO Deoxys-D, Walking Wake, and Garganacl after Stealth Rock, while Choice Scarf gives it the ability to outspeed incredibly fast foes such as Deoxys-S, Choice Scarf Azelf, and Roaring Moon. Since Meowscarada struggles against Corviknight, Skarmory, and Kingambit, it appreciates partners like Zapdos, Sandy Shocks, and Archaludon that can pressure them; in return, Meowscarada can threaten Swampert and Meloetta, which these teammates struggle against. While Meowscarada's Attack stat is adequate, it still appreciates entry hazard support from the likes of Deoxys-D, Garchomp, and Heatran, as Stealth Rock or one layer of Spikes allows Meowscarada to have a very high chance of OHKOing Deoxys-D and Scream Tail.
