Mantine @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 160 SpD / 96 Spe
Calm Nature
- Haze
- Scald
- Roost
- Defog
Mantine is an incredible special wall for Flying in Monotype thanks to its great stats and secondary typing of Water. Haze lets Mantine check common setup sweepers such as Mew and Volcarona, and this spread in particular allows Mantine to outpace maximum Speed Adamant Azumarill in order to Haze away its Belly Drum boost. Roost gives Mantine the sustainability it needs in order to not only manage foes but also remove Stealth Rock with Defog throughout a match, the latter of which Flying teams depend upon. Zapdos is the best teammate to pair with Mantine, as it's able to take on most Electric-types and coverage that threaten Mantine, while also being able to put immense pressure on Water-types, which Mantine struggles with. Pairing this duo with Skarmory as a physical wall and check to Rock-types makes for one of Monotype's most formidable defensive cores. Wallbreakers such as Dragonite work well with Mantine, as they can alleviate Mantine's difficulty in handling opposing walls.
