ZU [SS] Emolga [GP 1/1]

[Tuthur]

[OVERVIEW]
If you really want to use Emolga in ZU, consider playing BW where it is a top threat. In SS, however, Emolga's stats are underwhelming; it is both too weak to break anything and too frail to use its great typing for defensive purposes. It is outclassed as an offensive Electric-type by Rotom and Manectric, as a Flying-type pivot by Articuno, and as a fast pivot by Alolan Persian; there is truly nothing to save about this flying rat.

[SET]
Offensive Utility (Emolga)
Ability: Motor Drive
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Acrobatics
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Roost

[SET COMMENTS]
Emolga attemps to make some progress by removing items from opposing walls and generating momentum with U-turn. This set is highly inconsistent because Emolga is both too slow and too weak to force anything out, unless it's been very chipped, and it is too frail to switch into most threats in the tier. Alolan Persian and Rapidash are much more consistent as offensive utility options due to their superior stats, while Palossand, Rhydon, and Stunfisk are better Electric immunities. Will-O-Wisp Rotom is better as a Ground-immune, Electric-type offensive utility option, while Alolan Persian is a more effective fast pivot with access to Knock Off and a better Speed tier. These two also aren't crippled much by entry hazards, unlike Emolga, whose strongest STAB move in Acrobatic is anti-synergistic with Heavy-Duty Boots.

Emolga attempts to make some progress by removing items on opposing walls and generate momentum with U-turn. This set is highly inconsistent because Emolga is both too slow and too weak to force anything out, unless they've been very chipped, and it is too frail to switch-into most threats in the tier. Alolan Persian and Rapidash are much consistent as offensive utility due to their superior stats, while Palossand, Rhydon, and Stunfisk are better Electric immunities. Will-O-Wisp Rotom is better as a Ground-immune Electric-type offensive utility, while Alolan Persian is a more effective fast pivot with access to Knock Off and a better Speed tier. (Also add for pivoting it is worse than these mons because it has to take chip from rocks because of the anti synergy with acro)
