ZU [SS] Stonjourner [GP 1/1]

[BaitWiz]

[OVERVIEW]
Stonjourner's terrible Special Defense and lackluster Speed tier make it a poor choice for SS ZU. Use Lycanroc-N instead, which boasts more reliable STAB moves thanks to No Guard, a better Speed tier, and excellent priority in Sucker Punch.

[SET COMMENTS]
Stonjourner aims to make progress against teams with its excellent coverage boosted further by Choice Band. However, its middling Speed and atrocious Special Defense mean it often finds very few opportunities to make progress. Use Lycanroc-N instead, which has better Speed, priority in Sucker Punch, and superior Fighting-type coverage with Close Combat.

However, its middling Speed and atrocious Special Defense mean it often finds very few opportunities to make progress. Use Lycanroc-N, which has better Speed alongside priority in Sucker Punch. (could even add the fact that it also has CC which is just straight up better than Superpower since you touched on how ston has good coverage, lycarnoc n equally has just as good/if not better)
