- Destiny Bond

[SET COMMENTS]
Pecharunt uses its tremendous physical bulk, useful slate of resistances, and Prankster Parting Shot + Destiny Bond to anchor defensive cores, pivot to dangerous attackers, and eliminate opposing wincons in an emergency. Prominent physical attackers like Zamazenta, Iron Hands, and the Ogerpon formes struggle to break through it. Prankster Destiny Bond allows Pecharunt to trade itself for an opposing setup sweeper or cleaner that its team cannot handle, especially since it can alternate between Destiny Bond and its attacking move to keep the effect active. Malignant Chain is the preferred attack for its wonderful poison chance, but Shadow Ball is an option for its higher PP and ability to touch Corviknight. Heavy-Duty Boots is the preferred option to maximize Pecharunt's ability to pivot freely without the need to recover, especially since Pecharunt's removal of Toxic Spikes lets it support teams without strong entry hazard removal, but Black Sludge is an option on teams with very reliable entry hazard control. Colbur Berry is a niche item to better check Roaring Moon. Pecharunt struggles mightily against Roaring Moon, Kingambit, and Chien-Pao, as it cannot even pivot against them, so sturdy checks to them like Corviknight, Skarmory, and physically defensive Manaphy are strongly recommended. Pecharunt is petrified of Ceruledge, so teammates like Well-Baked Body Mandibuzz and Eject Button Garchomp are appreciated. Offensive teammates like Deoxys-S, Walking Wake, and Roaring Moon love the free switches in Pecharunt generates with Parting Shot and its ability to switch into their revenge killers.

Pecharunt uses its tremendous physical bulk, useful slate of resistances, and the absolute bullshittery that is Something tells me this isn't up to GP standard Prankster Parting Shot + Destiny Bond to anchor defensive cores, pivot to dangerous attackers, and emergency eliminate opposing wincons. Prominent physical attackers like Zamazenta, Iron Hands, and the Ogerpon formes struggle to break through it. Prankster Destiny Bond allows Pecharunt to trade itself for an opposing setup sweeper or cleaner that its team cannot handle, especially since it can alternate between Destiny Bond and its attacking move to keep the effect active. Malignant Chain is the preferred attack for its wonderful poison chance, but Shadow Ball is an option for its higher PP and to touch Corviknight. Heavy-Duty Boots is the preferred option to maximize Pecharunt’s ability to pivot freely without the need to recover, especially since Pecharunt’s removal of Toxic Spikes lets it support more aggressive structures, but Black Sludge is an option on teams with very reliable entry hazard control. Pecharunt struggled mightily against Roaring Moon and Chien-Pao as it cannot even pivot against them, so sturdy checks like Fluffy Corviknight and physically defensive Manaphy are strongly recommended. Pecharunt just fucking dies I mean you're not wrong... against Ceruledge, so run itemless Garchomp or something for that teammates like Well-Baked Body Mandibuzz are appreciated I can not recommend itemless chomp in good faith, sorry. Offensive teammates like Deoxys-S, Zamazenta, and the Ogerpon formes love the free switch ins Pecharunt generates with Parting Shot Maybe unnecessary, but some other examples could be better since you have already mentioned these, and there are plenty of mons that can be classed as "offensive".

Prominent physical attackers like Zamazenta, Iron Hands, and the Ogerpon formes struggle to break through it. Prankster Destiny Bond allows Pecharunt to trade itself for an opposing setup sweeper or cleaner that its team cannot handle, especially since it can alternate between Destiny Bond and its attacking move to keep the effect active. not sure how necessary the last part of this sentence is Malignant Chain is the preferred attack for its wonderful poison chance, but Shadow Ball is an option for its higher PP and to touch Corviknight. Heavy-Duty Boots is the preferred option to maximize Pecharunt’s ability to pivot freely without the need to recover, especially since Pecharunt’s removal of Toxic Spikes lets it support more aggressive structures feels like a wordy say to say it ignores hazards, especially since black sludge can also remove tspikes, but Black Sludge is an option on teams with very reliable entry hazard control. Pecharunt struggled struggles mightily against Roaring Moon, Kingambit, and Chien-Pao as it cannot even pivot against them this stretches into dex info territory, but specifically saying "as Prankster Destiny Bond fails into Dark-type foes" flows better, your call, so sturdy checks like Fluffy intim is better in the chien matchup and equally as good in the moon mu Corviknight, Skarmory, and physically defensive Manaphy are strongly recommended. Pecharunt is petrified of Ceruledge, so teammates like Well-Baked Body Mandibuzz and Eject Button Garchomp are appreciated. Offensive teammates like Deoxys-S, Walking Wake, and the Roaring Moon love the free switch ins Pecharunt generates with Parting Shot. mention how in exchange, pecharunt can switch into revenge killers and either pshot or, in an emergency, destiny bond, removing a major threat
