Modest Nature
- Tail Glow
- Rain Dance
- Surf
- Ice Beam
Manaphy is hitting the waves in ORAS OU as a potent wallbreaker that tears apart most stall teams. Manaphy's absurd bulk and access to Tail Glow turn it into a monster on hyper offense teams utilizing Sticky Web or dual screens; the former helps Manaphy outspeed every unboosted Pokemon in the tier, while the latter allows it to setup much more easily. Rain Dance synergizes with Hydration, preventing Manaphy from being crippled by status from the likes of Thunder Wave Slowbro and Latias. Ice Beam is the preferred coverage move on this set in order to break through the likes of Mega Latias and Mega Altaria, as a boosted Surf already demolishes most neutral targets. With the given EV spread, Manaphy avoids the OHKO from Magnezone's Thunderbolt and the 2HKO from offensive Clefable and Mega Metagross while OHKOing Mega Metagross back. Furthermore, it is also able to outspeed defensive Garchomp and Mega Metagross prior to Mega Evolving.
