Hisuian Voltorb is one of the best pivots in Little Cup with its good offensive typing and great Speed stat, which makes it one of the fastest unboosted Pokemon in the metagame. Tera Blast is the most common fourth moveslot, with Tera Blast Fire being able to threaten Foongus, Toedscool, and Pawniard, while Tera Blast Fairy hits Mienfoo super effectively. Thunder Wave allows Hisuian Voltorb to enable slower wallbreakers like Mudbray, or to hinder setup sweepers trying to set up on it like Swords Dance Pawniard. Finally, Taunt is another alternative to prevent boost sweepers from running away with a game, while also preventing healing moves from a Vullaby that Terastallizes out of their Electric weakness. Tera Fire is most commonly used with Tera Blast to give Hisuian Voltorb super effective damage on the Grass-types that resist both its STAB moves, and in a pinch can be used to gain a Fire resistance when against Choice Scarf Hisuian Growlithe. Tera Fairy hits Mienfoo harder with Tera Blast while granting it a Fighting resistance, and is more commonly seen on sets with Thunder Wave or Taunt.

Hisuian Voltorb can fit on various teams but is most commonly found on VoltTurn cores that aim to bring in strong wallbreakers like Life Orb Gastly and Hisuian Growlithe. Mienfoo and Vullaby are common partners as their access to U-Turn and Knock Off creates entry points for Hisuian Voltorb on their defensive switch-ins like Mareanie and Mudbray. The biggest roadblock for Hisuian Voltorb is Foongus as it resists both STAB moves and Regenerator to heal off any damage it takes, so teams that can trap Foongus or pressure it with multiple offensive threats like Hisuian Growlithe and Gothita are the best partners for Hisuian Voltorb. If Foongus put a Pokemon to sleep earlier in the battle with Spore, Gastly and Stunky are good switch-ins as they can threaten big damage to Foongus while taking minimal damage from Giga Drain and Sludge Bomb. Hisuian-Voltorb is also a good switch-in to itself if the opponent has already expended their Tera, resisting both Electric and Grass STAB moves. Offensive Pokemon like Choice Scarf Hisuian Growlithe and Choice Scarf Gastly are great options for revenge killing Hisuian Voltorb, so teammates who can take their hits well like Mareanie and Stunky are appreciated. Finally, Hisuian Voltorb is susceptible to priority moves like Sucker Punch from Pawniard and Stunky, so Pokemon that check Dark-types like Mienfoo and Mudbray are good teammates for it.

Hisuian Voltorb is one of the best pivots in Little Cup with its good offensive typing and great Speed stat, as Max (cant find anything saying this is wrong but afaik "Max" prob doesnt need capitalization) Speed investment with a Timid nature ties Hisuian Voltorb for the fastest unboosted Pokemon in the metagame with Elekid. Volt Switch allows Hisuian Voltorb to effectively gain momentum versus an opponent's team by switching out on unfavorable matchups like Foongus and other Hisuian Voltorbs. Tera Blast is the most common fourth moveslot, with Tera Blast Fire being able to threaten Foongus, Toedscool, and Pawniard, while Tera Blast Fairy hits Mienfoo super effectively. Thunder Wave allows Hisuian Voltorb to enable slower wallbreakers like Mudbray, or to hinder setup sweepers trying to set up on it like Swords Dance Pawniard or Tidy Up Minccino. Finally, Taunt is another alternative to prevent boost sweepers from running away with a game, while also preventing healing moves from a Mareanie or Vullaby that Terastallize out of their Electric weakness and stopping Stealth Rock from Tinkatink and Pawniard. Tera Fire is most commonly used with Tera Blast to give Hisuian Voltorb super effective damage on the Grass types when mentioning x typings, when a pokemon type is followed by the word type u put a hyphen (ex. super effective damage on the Grass-types that...) that resist both its STAB moves, and in a pinch can be used to gain a Fire resistance when against Choice Scarf Hisuian Growlithe. Tera Fairy removes Hisuian Voltorb's Bug weakness and grants it a Fighting resistance, and is more commonly seen on sets with Thunder Wave or Taunt.

Hisuian Voltorb can fit on various teams and is most commonly found on VoltTurn cores that aim to chip away at an opponent's team. Mienfoo and Vullaby are common partners as their access to U-Turn and Knock Off creates entry points for Hisuian Voltorb on their defensive switch-ins like Mareanie and Mudbray. Hisuian Voltorb helps facilitate Choice Scarfers that have a hard time entering the battle like Hisuian Growlithe and Gastly, and can make entry points for setup sweepers like Shell Smash Shellder and Belly Drum Magby. The biggest roadblock for Hisuian Voltorb is Foongus with its Grass typing resisting both STAB moves and Regenerator to heal off any damage it takes, so teams that can trap Foongus or pressure it with multiple offensive threats are the best partners for Hisuian Voltorb. Gothita is a great counter to Foongus with its Shadow Tag ability, as it can trap and kill very small thing but mons arent killed, just KOd lol Foongus.(AP) with STAB Psychic. self explanatory If Foongus put a Pokemon to sleep earlier in the battle with Spore, Gastly is a good switch-in as it can threaten big damage with Will-o-Wisp Hex or Life Orb Psychic while taking minimal in return from Giga Drain and Sludge Bomb. Wattrel is also a good switch-in to Hisuian Voltorb with its Electric immunity, Grass resistance, and access to Roost for reliable recovery, but it is easier to break through than Foongus because of its Stealth Rock weakness and lower bulk. Glimmet and Tinkatink are good checks to Wattrel since both are Flying resists that can set up Stealth Rock, and can hit it with Power Gem or Knock Off, respectively. wattrel probably isnt the best example of a check/counter because its just not very good, could mention opposing h-voltorb being a decent check, esp bc you mentioned it along foongus being a good switch-in in the first paragraph

note; delete the other 'written by' link u dont need it just ur own

Hisuian Voltorb is one of the best pivots in Little Cup with its good offensive typing and great Speed stat, which makes it one of as max Speed investment with a Timid nature ties Hisuian Voltorb for the fastest unboosted Pokemon in the metagame with Elekid (most of this is fluff). Volt Switch allows Hisuian Voltorb to effectively gain momentum versus an opponent's team by switching out on unfavorable matchups like Foongus and other Hisuian Voltorbs. (shouldn't need to explain what stab moves do)Tera Blast is the most common fourth moveslot, with Tera Blast Fire being able to threaten Foongus, Toedscool, and Pawniard, while Tera Blast Fairy hits Mienfoo super effectively. Thunder Wave allows Hisuian Voltorb to enable slower wallbreakers like Mudbray (poor example imo since you mostly use bray for defensive utility - tho it does hit strong. better example would be something like eviolite hisuian growlithe), or to hinder setup sweepers trying to set up on it like Swords Dance Pawniard or Tidy Up Minccino (dont super mind this mention so u can keep it if you really want, but it isnt rly super relevant rn). Finally, Taunt is another alternative to prevent boost sweepers from running away with a game, while also preventing healing moves from a Mareanie (havent seen this interaction)or a Vullaby that Terastallize out of their Electric weakness and stopping Stealth Rock from Tinkatink and Pawniard (not relevant here). Tera Fire is most commonly used with Tera Blast to give Hisuian Voltorb super effective damage on the Grass-types that resist both its STAB moves, and in a pinch can be used to gain a Fire resistance when against Choice Scarf Hisuian Growlithe. Tera Fairy removes Hisuian Voltorb's Bug weakness and grants it a Fighting resistance, and is more commonly seen on sets with Thunder Wave or Taunt. (ending also kind of feels like fluff since you really just use these for tera blast but fairy does give real defensive utility. ill leave this one up to qc2)

Hisuian Voltorb can fit on various teams and, but is most commonly found on VoltTurn cores that aim to chip away at an opponent's team. (i think the bigger point of using volt turn is moreso uses the pivots to get in strong wallbreakers to click attacks and go brrrr. should be mentioned instead of chipping at an opponents team imo. something like voltturn cores that aim to help bring in strong wallbreakers such as life orb gastly and hisuian growlithe would be good)Mienfoo and Vullaby are common partners as their access to U-Turn and Knock Off creates entry points for Hisuian Voltorb on their defensive switch-ins like Mareanie and Mudbray. Hisuian Voltorb helps facilitate Choice Scarfers that have a hard time entering the battle like Hisuian Growlithe and Gastly, and can make entry points for setup sweepers like Shell Smash Shellder and Belly Drum Magby (is it? if you use holtorb more often than not i think it is your speed control. also i kind of said to bring up those mons in the first sentence instead anyways). The biggest roadblock for Hisuian Voltorb is Foongus with its Grass typing as it resisting resists both STAB moves and Regenerator to heal off any damage it takes, so teams that can trap Foongus or pressure it with multiple offensive threats (such as? )are the best partners for Hisuian Voltorb. Gothita is a great counter to Foongus with its Shadow Tag ability, as it can trap and knock out Foongus (you already mentioned this in the last sentence. either split the 2 mentions in last sentence or just delete this sentence). If Foongus put a Pokemon to sleep earlier in the battle with Spore, Gastly is a good switch-in as it can threaten big damage with Will-o-Wisp Hex or Life Orb Psychic to Foongus while taking minimal in return damage from Giga Drain and Sludge Bomb. Hisuian-Voltorb is also a good switch-in to itself if the opponent has already expended their Tera, resisting both Electric and Grass STAB moves and an immunity to Thunder Wave. (makes sense i just dont see the point of including it tho ngl) Offensive Pokemon like Choice Scarf Hisuian Growlithe and Choice Scarf Gastly are great options for revenge killing Hisuian Voltorb, or scaring it out to take more hazard damage. Finally, Hisuian Voltorb is susceptible to priority moves like Sucker Punch from Pawniard and Stunky, so Pokemon that can deal with those check Dark-types like Mienfoo and Mudbray are good teammates for Hisuian Voltorb.
