VGC Walking Wake (GP - 0/1)

[fyfyy]

[OVERVIEW]
* With an excellent typing and respectable stats, Walking Wake finds a place on sun teams using Protosynthesis to make up for its Speed tier while also 2HKOing most neutral targets with sun= boosted Hydro Steam and threatening common Pokemon like Incineroar and Landorus.

* Walking Wake pairs well with Torkoal, which can set up sun and support it through moves like Helping Hand. It is commonly sighted with Ogerpon-C, which provides redirection, and Farigiraf, which blocks priority.

* Walking Wake struggles against a common threat, Flutter Mane which threatens it with its Fairy-type STAB moves and outspeeds it. Ogerpon-W also has a good matchup, since it can redirect Hydro Steam and threaten a 2HKO on Walking Wake with Horn Leech. It also consistently needs sun up, which can be advantageous to opposing Flutter Mane and Raging Bolt, as they can then threaten an OHKO on it.

[SET COMMENTS]

* The EV spread allows Walking Wake to survive Special Attack Booster Energy Flutter Mane's Dazzling Gleam and Adamant Miracle Seed Rillaboom's Wood Hammer. It can also pick an OHKO on Amoonguss with Life Orb-boosted Flamethrower in sun.

* Hydro Steam and Draco Meteor are Walking Wake's main STAB moves, while Flamethrower can threaten Pokemon that resist them, like Amoonguss and Kingambit. Dragon Pulse is a more spammable STAB move thanks to lack of drawbacks. Tera Blast can provide additional coverage when utilised with Tera Steel, threatening massive damage on Fairy-types like Flutter Mane.

* Tera Fire and Steel are preferred to gain a resistance to Flutter Mane's and Rillaboom's STAB moves. Tera Fire also resists Ogerpon-H's STAB moves and boosts Flamethrower, which can threaten huge damage combined with the sun boost. On the other hand, Tera Steel grants crucial resistances, such as against Raging Bolt's Dragon-type STAB attacks, which normally threatens Walking Wake.

Good work, I'll be doing a recheck as there was a sudden set change.

[OVERVIEW]
* With an excellent typing and respectable stats, Walking Wake finds a place on sun teams in VGC, using Protosynthesis to make up for its speed tier and 2HKOing the unresisted metagame with boosted Hydro Steams and threatening meta Pokemon like Incineroar and Landorus. Hydro Steam also benefits from rain (and what does this mean?), a trait unseen for a Pokemon which benefits from sun as well. It has great coverage which directly benefits from the sun in Flamethrower. (Really unnecessary, if you highlight moves anywhere it would be set comments.)

* Walking Wake pairs well with Torkoal, which can set up sun and support it through moves like Helping Hand. Ogerpon-C has been sighted with this team style, providing Follow Me redirection and the ability to live one attack, thanks to its ability Sturdy. (A bit weird to say it's seen with Walking Wake rather than it's good with Walking Wake. Cornerstone hasn't been on the best Wake teams anyway, focus on the ones that Day 2'd recent events.)

* Walking Wake struggles against a common meta threat, Flutter Mane, which threatens it with its STAB Fairy moves and outspeeds it in sun thanks to its ability, Protosynthesis (Flutter Mane is faster either way and both have Proto.). Ogerpon-W also has a good matchup, with the ability to redirect Hydro Steam and threaten a 2HKO on Walking Wake with Horn Leech.

[OVERVIEW]
* Walking Wake utilises it's unique position as a Water-Type which is boosted by sun and relatively high Special Attack and Speed stats to provide better offensive coverage on sun teams. (I think this is so important to say right away - it's the reason it's used over other sun Pokemon). With an excellent typing (I'd say it has an good defensive typing, but not a good offensive one. I would say it has excellent offensive coverage STAB + sun water + sun fire + STAB dragon) and respectable stats (decent bulk, good speed + spatt although I mentioned that in the first sentence so you may not want to repeat it), Walking Wake finds a place on sun teams in VGC, (already said in my first sentence - I think that sentence is really nice please use it) using Protosynthesis to make up for its speed tier (I'd reword as it give the impression it is in a bad speed tier - 109 base speed is a great speed. Also does it always use speed boost?) and 2HKOing the unresisted metagame with boosted Hydro Steams (maybe just me but seems odd to write it like this, can't you just say its good offensively? like don't most offensive Pokemon threaten 2HKO onto non-resisted?)and threatening meta Pokemon like Incineroar and Landorus. (seems a bit like repeating the type chart, though I would mention its good into lando as being able to outspeed + threaten OHKO is rare) Hydro Steam also benefits from rain, a trait unseen for a Pokemon which benefits from sun as well. (Not massively relevant, rain team aren't massively common and if you see one you are more likely to click draco than hydro steam due to water pokemon + archuladon). It has great coverage which directly benefits from the sun in Flamethrower. (I'd write this along with it's offensive coverage). Also would be good to put life orb somewhere in this first para as you dont say why you use it.

* Walking Wake pairs well with Torkoal, which can support it through setting the sun and moves like Helping Hand. Ogerpon-C has been sighted with this team style, providing Follow Me redirection and the ability to live one attack, thanks to its ability Sturdy. I feel like you could add more to this paragraph, maybe look at limitless/regionals for inspiration.

* Walking Wake struggles against a common meta threat, Flutter Mane which threatens it with its STAB Fairy moves and outspeeds it in sun thanks to its ability, Protosynthesis. Ogerpon-W also has a good matchup, with the ability to redirect Hydro Steam and threaten a 2HKO on Walking Wake with Horn Leech. Also mention how it needs sun up, which is something of a crutch to play with, especially since putting sun up to help specs flutter mane and AV bolt sweep your team is really bad, especially since they both have +ve MU into walking wake. Lil damned if you do damned if you don't kinda vibe.

* The EV spread can survive Booster SpAtk Flutter Mane Dazzling Gleam and Adamant Miracle Seed Rillaboom Wood Hammer. Why survive a wood hammer when you can outspeed and KO with Flamethrower >:), also the flutter calc seems somewhat redundant since spe att booster is rare and your gunna put sun up for them anyway. Is there another calc which could be more useful?

* Hydro Steam and Draco Meteor are its main STABs, while Flamethrower can threaten Grass and Steel Types like Amoonguss and Kingambit. What does it KO. Does it KO AV Kingambit?

* Tera Fire is picked to grant resistance to Flutter Mane and strong Grass STAB. It also boosts its Flamethrower, which can threaten huge damage combined with the sun boosts.

LovelyLuna did quite a few changes with yours and Jesuuuus' input. Would love a recheck to proceed.

suicune analysis when

[OVERVIEW]

It 2HKOs the unresisted metagame with boosted Hydro Steams and threatening threatens meta Pokemon like Incineroar and Landorus.

* Walking Wake pairs well with Torkoal, which can set up sun and support it through moves like Helping Hand. Ogerpon-C, Flutter Mane, and Farigiraf have been common partners for Walking Wake in such cores. Why are rockpon, flutter and farigiraf used alongside it?

* Walking Wake struggles against a common meta threat, Flutter Mane which threatens it with its STAB Fairy moves and outspeeds it. Ogerpon-W also has a good matchup, with the ability to redirect Hydro Steam and threaten a 2HKO on Walking Wake with Horn Leech. It also consistently needs sun up, which can be advantageous to benefit opposing Flutter Mane and Raging Bolt, as they can then threaten an OHKO on Walking Wake. They threaten OHKO's regardless of sun - the big problem is that these already really strong Pokemon get a free damage boost which can help them blow through the rest of your team. Rewording could make this more clear.
