[SET COMMENTS]
Pecharunt is a solid physical wall with a massive Defense stat and valuable Ghost typing that allows it to handle the tier's many strong Fighting-type wallbreakers like Iron Hands, Galarian Zapdos, and Slither Wing. Malignant Chain is a strong STAB option that immediately threatens Ogerpon-W and Ogerpon-H, but Toxic provides more consistency, is not limited to 8 PP, and guarantees poison when paired with Corrosion. Hex pairs nicely with Toxic and should always be used on Corrosion sets, but Shadow Ball grants a stronger immediate hit, especially against Steel-types like Corviknight and Empoleon. Pecharunt can safely pivot in frail offensive teammates like Chien-Pao, Ogerpon-C, and Sandy Shocks with Parting Shot, while also being a great switch-in to dangerous revenge killers like Barraskewda and Zamazenta that threaten them. Well-Baked Body allows Pecharunt to shut down Fire-type wallbreakers like Cinderace and Ogerpon-H, while Fluffy pushes its already tremendous walling capabilities even further, letting it act as a hard counter to the aforementioned Fighting-types. Earth Eater is another option that allows Pecharunt to handle Garchomp and Great Tusk, as well as letting it safely block the latter's Rapid Spin. Black Sludge provides passive healing, while Eject Button resets offensive momentum and allows Pecharunt to act as a Knock Off absorber or counter to Ceruledge with Fluffy and Well-Baked Body respectively. However, Pecharunt is weak to some of the tier's common physical attackers, including Iron Boulder, Kingambit, and Chien-Pao, so it appreciates support from other physically defensive walls like Corviknight and Skarmory. Pecharunt's middling special bulk means that it struggles against the tier's special attackers, most notably Iron Moth, which it struggles to do meaningful damage against; RegenVest users such as Hisuian Goodra, Swampert, and Manaphy help cover these weaknesses.
