Protect also works great alongside this, giving Ferrothorn oppurtunities to get free HP recovery and punishing the opponent. Leech Seed with Leftovers provides Ferrothorn pretty good recovery whilst slowly whittling the opponent down. ![]() Ferrothorn can hit quite hard with Gyro Ball given its abysmal Speed, and Power Whip is a high power move backed by its pretty decent base attack, even uninvested. The Sassy nature does lower its speed, but Ferrothorn's don't need speed, plus that just adds to Gyro Ball's power. The EV's make Ferrothorn as specially bulky as possible, whilst boosting its already great defense a little bit. Ferrothorn is great as a physical or Special wall, but it is the latter in this team. It means that it Speed ties with most other base 100 threats such as both Mega Charizards, whereas a lot of other big threats are either faster or have a means of boosting their Speed.įerrothorn is an awesome pokémon in OU and one of the most annoying walls to face thanks to its unique and very good typing of Grass/Steel, great defensive stats and a cruel ability in Iron Barbs. Besides its terribly frail physical defense, Mega Gardevoir's biggest problem is probably that its base 100 Speed whilst still very good is not great compared to other powerhouse threats. The EV's and Timid Nature make Gardevoir hit as hard as possible and be as speedy as it can be. ![]() The final move was a choice between Taunt, Will O Wisp and Calm Mind, but given Gardevoir's main job as a wallbreaker I felt Will O Wisp was the better choice as it allows Gardevoir to cripple the physical attackers that come in to try and hit it on its frailer side. Psyshock is not only a good Psychic STAB, but it also hits based on the opponents Physical Defense, stopping Mega Gardevoir from being a dead weight against mons like Chansey, whilst Focus Blast is mainly for the Steel types that resist Gardevoir's STAB combination. It's monstrous base 165 Special Attack in combination with Pixilate makes Hyper Voice smack everything but the sturdiest of special walls (so basically Chansey) incredibly hard. Like Mega Charizard Y, Mega Gardevoir is one of the best wallbreakers in the metagame.
