Clefable @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Calm Mind
- Thunder Wave
- Soft-Boiled

With its amazing typing, fantastic ability, and decent bulk, Clefable makes for a potent wincon in the National Dex metagame! Once paralyzed by Thunder Wave, Steel-types like Taunt Heatran and Iron Head Ferrothorn struggle to handle Clefable as it accrues boosts with Calm Mind. Not only that, powerful physical attackers like Mega Lopunny, Mega Medicham, and Weavile are punished by Rocky Helmet, letting Clefable still damage them while boosting. Toxapex completely sits on Clefable, making lures to it like Electrium Z Rotom-W and Sand Tomb Mega Scizor ideal teammates. Rotom-W can also check Steel-types such as Mega Scizor and Melmetal, which Clefable struggles to bypass. Finally, other wincons appreciate Toxapex and Heatran being paralyzed, like Ash-Greninja, Volcarona, and Mega Latias.

adem please QC reject this
alhamulillah i wont have to for a third time

i would specify iron head ferro in the twave part
mention stuff that remove pex like elec z washy or tomb mzor, that's big since this set cant touch it rlly well
mention stuff that like the para it spreads on the steels and pex type stuff, volc and mtias is a good mention, so is agren TBH
mention ferro as a spiker, that's a big partner
the washer sentence feels a bit iffy currently, maybe cut out the part about chipping with vs and replace that with the pex removal part

i think rest should be fine, lmk when done!

1/1 on cord

With its amazing typing, fantastic ability, and decent bulk, Clefable makes for a potent wincon in the National Dex metagame! Once paralyzed by Thunder Wave, Steel-types like Taunt Heatran and Iron Head Ferrothorn are much less capable of handling struggle to handle (I imagine this works?) Clefable as it accrues boosts with Calm Mind. Not only that, powerful physical attacks from the likes of attackers like Mega Lopunny, Mega Medicham, and Weavile are punished by Rocky Helmet, letting Clefable still deal chip damage them while boosting. Toxapex completely sits on Clefable, making lures to it like Electrium Z Rotom-Wash and and Sand Tomb Mega Scizor ideal teammates. Rotom-Wash notably Rotom-W can also check Steel-types such as Mega Scizor and Melmetal, (AC) which Clefable struggles to bypass. Entry hazards from Greninja, Ferrothorn or Heatran can also help with wearing down Pokemon that Clefable cannot beat on its own. (seems pretty universal for wincons; if one or two of these mons are important to mention, id go like "they set entry hazards and ...") Finally, other wincons who appreciate Toxapex and Heatran being paralyzed, like Ash-Greninja, Mega Latias, and Volcarona, are fantastic teammates.
