Monotype Slither Wing AOA (Bug)

[SET]
Slither Wing @ Life Orb / Heavy-Duty Boots
Name: All-out Attacker (Bug)
Ability: Protosynthesis
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- U-turn / Morning Sun
- First Impression
- Earthquake

[SET DETAILS]
All-out attacker Slither Wing is a great option on Bug teams due to its part-Fighting typing and its access to First Impression and Close Combat, which let it deal with troublesome threats like Kingambit, Hisuian Goodra, and Iron Boulder. Close Combat is Slither Wing's strongest STAB move, which takes out Normal-, Rock-, Steel-, and Ice-types like Blissey, Garganacl, Hisuian Goodra, and Mamoswine. U-turn not only damages foes, but it also allows Slither Wing to pivot out into one of its teammates like Frosmoth. Morning Sun can be run over U-turn to increase Slither Wing's longevity throughout the battle, notably in the Steel matchup; however, doing so means Slither Wing lacks the key pivoting it gets from U-turn. First Impression provides priority for Slither Wing to deal with fast threats like Iron Boulder, Latias, and Chien-Pao. Earthquake allows Slither Wing to deal with Gholdengo while also threatening pesky Poison-types like Clodsire and 2HKOing Toxapex. Life Orb is the go-to item for Slither Wing so it can hit as hard as possible, notably giving it a chance to OHKO Ursaluna-B. Heavy-Duty Boots can be run over Life Orb to let Slither Wing ignore entry hazards and stay healthy. However, losing the additional power Life Orb provides is not appreciated. Adamant is its preferred nature, maximizing Slither Wing's damage to let it 2HKO Skarmory and specially defensive Corviknight with Life Orb-boosted Close Combat.

Choice Scarf Kleavor is a great teammate for Slither Wing, dealing with Flying- and Fire-types like Dragonite, Moltres, and Ogerpon-H with Stone Axe, which also sets Stealth Rock, weakening foes that Slither Wing can pick off with First Impression. Swords Dance Scizor at +2 can deal with troublesome Fairy- and Rock-types like Flutter Mane, Enamorus, and Choice Scarf Hisuian Arcanine. Slither Wing taking out Steel-types like Klefki and Kingambit means that Scizor has an easier time sweeping with Bullet Punch. Volcarona and Frosmoth are fierce setup sweepers that make for great partners; Volcarona at +1 deals with Galarian Weezing, Iron Valiant, and Great Tusk with Psychic and Giga Drain, while Frosmoth at +1 deals with Dragonite, Gliscor, and the Landorus formes with Ice Beam. Ribombee, Galvantula, and Araquanid all provide Sticky Web support, which allows Slither Wing to outspeed and eliminate threats like Ogerpon-H, Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine, and Choice Specs Iron Moth. Each Sticky Web setter also provides additional support for Slither Wing: Ribombee is the fastest of the setters and also threatens Dragon-, Dark-, and Fighting-types like Dragonite, Sableye, Iron Valiant, and Great Tusk, Galvantula eases the Flying and Water matchups thanks to its part-Electric typing and the combination of Thunder and Energy Ball, and Araquanid provides bulk while soaking up Fire-type attacks like Overheat from Ninetales under sun thanks to Water Bubble. Forretress removes entry hazards with Rapid Spin and provides slow pivoting for Slither Wing with Volt Switch to ensure safe entry.

- Close Combat
- U-turn / Morning Sun

[SET DETAILS]
All out attack Slither Wing is a great option on Bug teams due to its amazing attack stat and part fighting typing, which deals with troublesome walls for the team. Close Combat is Slither Wing's strongest STAB move, which takes out Normal-, Rock-, Steel-, and Ice-types like Blissey, Garganacl, Hisuian Goodra, and Mamoswine. U-turn not only damages foes, but it also provides Slither Wing to pivot into one of its teammates like Forretress. Morning Sun can be run over U-turn to increase Slither Wing longevity through out the battle Mention the downsides of running Morning Sun, such as not having much utility over U-turn. First Impression provides priority for Slither Wing to deal with fast threats like Iron Boulder, Latias, Latias, and Chien-Pao. Earthquake allows Slither Wing to deal with Gholdengo while also threatening pesky Poison-types like Alolan Muk, Galarian Slowking, Clodsire, and 2HKOing Toxapex. Life Orb is the go to item for Slither Wing so it can hit as hard as possible, notably having a chance to OHKO Ursaluna-B. Heavy-Duty Boots can be run over Life Orb to be able to stay healthy from hazards. However, lacking the power Slither Wing would get from Life Orb is not appreciated. Adamant Nature is the guaranteed preferred nature, maximizing Slither Wing's attacks to be able to 2HKO special defense Corviknight with Close Combat. Jolly Nature is an alternative option, being able to out speed and take out Choice Band Hoopa-U.

Choice Scarf Kleavor is an great teammate for Slither Wing, dealing with Flying- and Fire-types like Dragonite, Moltres, and Ogerpon-H with Stone Axe; which also sets Stealth Rock, weakening foes for Slither Wing can pick off with First Impression. Swords Dance Scizor at +2 can deal with troublesome Fairy- and Rock-types like Flutter Mane, Enamorus, and Choice Scarf Hisuian Arcanine Kinda niche, but CB Scizor can take on Scarf Indeedee, which blocks first impression with terrain. Both Volcarona and Frosmoth can be fierce set up sweepers for Slither Wing: With Volcarona dealing with Galarian Weezing, Iron Valiant, and Great Tusk with Psychic and Giga Drain at +1. While Frosmoth at +1 deals with Dragonite, Garchomp, and the Landorus formes with Ice Beam. Ribombee, Galvantuala, and Araquanid all provide Sticky Web which allows Slither Wing to out speed and eliminate threats like Ogerpon-H, Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine, and Choice Specs Iron Moth. Each Sticky Web setter also provides additional support for Slither Wing: Ribombee is the fastest of the setters, while also threatening Dragon-, Dark-, and Fighting-types like Dragonite, Sableye, Iron Valiant, and Great Tusk. Galvantula eases the Flying, Water, and Ground match up thanks to its part Electric typing and move combo of Thunder+ Energy Ball. Araquanid provides bulk while easing the Fire matchup thanks to Water Bubble. Forretress removes hazards with Rapid Spin, and provides slow pivoting for Slither Wing with Volt Switch to ensure safe entry.

Ability: Protosynthesis

Adamant Nature / Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- U-turn / Morning Sun

- Earthquake

[SET DETAILS]
All out attack Slither Wing is a great option on Bug teams due to its amazing attack stat and part fighting typing, which deals with troublesome walls for the team. (The first sentence is a bit filler, since that also describes the other bug/fighting. What sets it apart is that it compresses roles by providing strong FI + Fighting-typing which lets it check Kingambit and have meaty CCs for Steel) Close Combat is Slither Wing's strongest STAB move, which takes out Normal-, Rock-, Steel-, and Ice-types like Blissey, Garganacl, Hisuian Goodra, and Mamoswine. U-turn not only damages foes, but it also provides Slither Wing to pivot into one of its teammates like Forretress (you dont need to pivot to forre tho. Maybe pivoting to offensive team mates might be better? For instance, a counter to slither would be Gliscor, so you get in Frosmoth). Morning Sun can be run over U-turn to increase Slither Wing longevity through out the battle (which allows it to further meow at steel for longer, perhaps). But doing so Slither Wing lacks key pivoting it gets from U-turn. First Impression provides priority for Slither Wing to deal with fast threats like Iron Boulder, Latias, Latias, and Chien-Pao. Earthquake allows Slither Wing to deal with Gholdengo while also threatening pesky Poison-types like Alolan Muk, Galarian Slowking, (a bit too many examples now) Clodsire, and 2HKOing Toxapex. Life Orb is the go to item for Slither Wing so it can hit as hard as possible, notably having a chance to OHKO Ursaluna-B. Heavy-Duty Boots can be run over Life Orb to be able to stay healthy from hazards. However, lacking the power Slither Wing would get from Life Orb is not appreciated. Adamant Nature is the preferred nature, maximizing Slither Wing's attacks to be able to 2HKO special defense Corviknight (skarmory might be a good mention, as it otherwise always swaps in vs Slither, letting slither be an existential threat vs Steel. This is considering LO as item btw) with Close Combat. Jolly Nature is an alternative option, being able to out speed and take out Choice Band Hoopa-U (you already have First Impression).

Choice Scarf Kleavor is an great teammate for Slither Wing, dealing with Flying- and Fire-types like Dragonite, Moltres, and Ogerpon-H with Stone Axe; which also sets Stealth Rock, weakening foes for Slither Wing can pick off with First Impression. Swords Dance Scizor at +2 can deal with troublesome Fairy- and Rock-types like Flutter Mane, Enamorus, and Choice Scarf Hisuian Arcanine. Alternative, Choice Band Scizor can take out Choice Scarf Indeedee which would otherwise block Slither Wing's First Impression via terrain (SD can do that too. Maybe you could mention that since slither removes stinky steels, a band (or Even just sd really) BP is more likely to sweep through). Both Volcarona and Frosmoth can be fierce set up sweepers for Slither Wing: With Volcarona dealing with Galarian Weezing, Iron Valiant, and Great Tusk with Psychic and Giga Drain at +1. While Frosmoth at +1 deals with Dragonite, Gliscor (Garchompy is correct, but it feels like Glis needs a mention) Garchomp, and the Landorus formes with Ice Beam. Ribombee, Galvantuala, and Araquanid all provide Sticky Web which allows Slither Wing to out speed and eliminate threats like Ogerpon-H, Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine, and Choice Specs Iron Moth. Each Sticky Web setter also provides additional support for Slither Wing: Ribombee is the fastest of the setters, while also threatening Dragon-, Dark-, and Fighting-types like Dragonite, Sableye, Iron Valiant, and Great Tusk. Galvantula eases the Flying, and Water, and Ground match up thanks to its part Electric typing and move combo of Thunder+ Energy Ball. Araquanid provides bulk while easing the Fire matchup thanks to Water Bubble (Araq doesnt really "ease" the matchup [Bug is stilll very likely to lose], its more on Scarf Kleav, but its just ok vs fire attacks or something like Specs Flamethrowers for instance). Forretress removes hazards with Rapid Spin, and provides slow pivoting for Slither Wing with Volt Switch to ensure safe entry.

[SET]
Slither Wing @ Life Orb / Heavy-Duty Boots
Name: All-out Attacker (Bug)
Ability: Protosynthesis
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- U-turn / Morning Sun
- First Impression
- Earthquake

[SET DETAILS]
All-out attacker Slither Wing is a great option on Bug teams due to its part-Fighting typing and its access to First Impression and Close Combat, (AC) which that let it deal with troublesome threats like Kingambit, Hisuian Goodra, and Iron Boulder. Close Combat is Slither Wing's strongest STAB move, which takes out Normal-, Rock-, Steel-, and Ice-types like Blissey, Garganacl, Hisuian Goodra, and Mamoswine. U-turn not only damages foes, but it also allows Slither Wing to pivot out for into one of its teammates like Frosmoth. Morning Sun can be run over U-turn to increase Slither Wing's longevity throughout the battle, notably in the Steel matchup; however, doing so means Slither Wing lacks the key pivoting it gets from U-turn. First Impression provides priority for Slither Wing to deal with fast threats like Iron Boulder, Latias, and Chien-Pao. Earthquake allows Slither Wing to deal with Gholdengo while also threatening pesky Poison-types like Clodsire and 2HKOing Toxapex. Life Orb is the go-to item for Slither Wing so it can hit as hard as possible, notably having giving it a chance to OHKO Ursaluna-B. Heavy-Duty Boots can be run over Life Orb to let Slither Wing ignore entry hazards and stay healthy. However, the lack of losing the (passive voice) additional power Life Orb provides is not appreciated. Adamant is the its preferred nature, maximizing Slither Wing's damage to let it 2HKO Skarmory and specially defensive Corviknight with Life Orb-boosted Close Combat.

Choice Scarf Kleavor is a great teammate for Slither Wing, dealing with Flying- and Fire-types like Dragonite, Moltres, and Ogerpon-H with Stone Axe, (replaced em dash with comma) which also sets Stealth Rock, (replaced em dash with comma) weakening foes that Slither Wing can pick off with First Impression. Swords Dance Scizor at +2 can deal with troublesome Fairy- and Rock-types like Flutter Mane, Enamorus, and Choice Scarf Hisuian Arcanine. Slither Wing taking out Steel-types like Klefki and Kingambit means that Scizor will have has an easier time sweeping with Bullet Punch. Volcarona and Frosmoth are fierce setup sweepers that make for great partners; Volcarona at +1 deals with Galarian Weezing, Iron Valiant, and Great Tusk with Psychic and Giga Drain, while Frosmoth at +1 deals with Dragonite, Gliscor, and the Landorus formes with Ice Beam. Ribombee, Galvantula, and Araquanid all provide Sticky Web support, which allows Slither Wing to outspeed and eliminate threats like Ogerpon-H, Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine, and Choice Specs Iron Moth. Each Sticky Web setter also provides additional support for Slither Wing: Ribombee is the fastest of the setters and also threatens Dragon-, Dark-, and Fighting-types like Dragonite, Sableye, Iron Valiant, and Great Tusk, Galvantula eases the Flying and Water matchups thanks to its part-Electric typing and the combination of Thunder and Energy Ball, and Araquanid provides bulk while soaking up Fire-type attacks like Overheat from Ninetales under sun thanks to Water Bubble. Forretress removes entry hazards with Rapid Spin and provides slow pivoting for Slither Wing with Volt Switch to ensure safe entry.

Other Options
=============
Bug
--------
Flare Blitz can be run to threaten Amoonguss, Scizor, and Forretress, (AC) while Wild Charge takes care of Pelipper and Gyarados. However, stacking Life Orb recoil with recoil from the aforementioned moves is not appreciated.
