Wingull @ Berry Juice
Level: 5
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 36 Def / 236 SpA / 236 Spe
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Hurricane
- Substitute
- Defog / U-turn
Wingull has been soaring to new heights lately, and it is no surprise! With a dual STAB combination that hits almost the entire metagame for unresisted damage, it has become increasingly popular as a fast and powerful breaker. Not only does Wingull have a great typing, but it also has amazing Speed, being able to outpace or Speed tie with every viable Pokemon in the tier other than Diglett and Elekid. Due to the combination of its Speed and typing, it is able to force out a lot of Pokemon and get free turns with Substitute or even gain momentum with U-turn. The major flaw with Wingull is its dreadful bulk, but with the ability to pivot and a good Speed stat, it can easily take advantage of its checks. A good core to exploit this is Wingull + Mienfoo, as both are great pivots, and Mienfoo resists the Rock-type attacks that threaten Wingull.
