Doubles Pheromosa

Pheromosa @ Life Orb
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 244 Atk / 12 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Close Combat
- U-turn
- Ice Beam
- Protect

Boasting impressive attacking stats and the highest Speed in the unboosted metagame, Pheromosa has a niche in DOU as an aggressive fast attacker that can dominate the opposition! Its strong STAB U-turn, particularly potent against Rillaboom and Mew, lets it safely and effectively break down opposing defensive backbones, as well as punish switch-ins by pivoting to favorable matchups. Close Combat's sheer power threatens KOes against even healthy foes, including Incineroar, Heatran, and Kyurem-B, while Ice Beam lets it pin down Landorus and Naganadel. Beast Boost gives Pheromosa the ability to snowball if not immediately dealt with, as it boosts the power of its STAB attacks with every KO. However, Pheromosa is very frail and cannot switch in safely on its own, so teammates with pivot moves to escort it onto the field, such as Rillaboom and Incineroar, are recommended. Tapu Lele, Indeedee-F, and Tsareena are also viable partners, as they prevent priority moves from disrupting Pheromosa's gameplan.

• what the frick does morb even mean
• If you can, I'd mention how Pheromosa can snowball with Attack boosts, because you have some extra space and its p relevant imo.

Looks good otherwise

QC 1/1

Boasting impressive attacking stats and a Speed stat that tops the outspeeding then entire unboosted metagame, Pheromosa has a niche in DOU as an aggressive fast attacker that can morb no idea what this word is supposed to be. beat? threaten? revenge kill? the opposition! Its strong STAB U-turn, handy in particular for particularly potent against Rillaboom and Mew, lets it safely and effectively break down opposing defensive backbones while also letting it punish switches and maintain and punish switch-ins by pivoting to favorable matchups. Close Combat's sheer power lets it force KOes even on healthy foes, with the Fighting-type coverage also nifty for decimating threatens KOes against even healthy foes, including Incineroar, Heatran, and Kyurem-B Black, while Ice Beam lets it pin down Landorus and Naganadel. Beast Boost even gives Pheromosa the ability to snowball if not immediately dealt with, with its STAB attacks becoming even more punishing to take even for resistant foes as it boosts the power of its STAB attacks with every KO. However, Pheromosa is very frail and cannot switch in safely on its own, however, so teammates with pivot moves to escort it onto the field, such as Rillaboom and Incineroar, are recommended. Tapu Lele, Indeedee-F, and Tsareena are also viable partners, (comma) as they prevent priority moves from disrupting Pheromosa's gameplan.

GP 1/1!

stand back UT, i'm about to morb!!!!!

(please let me say morb)

also can i keep something along the lines of what I have right now at the first sentence, i don't like having two verb phrases at the lede, too cumbersome to take in IMO. also, for the correction on the latter half of sentence 2, is there any other suggestion other that could work? right now, the suggestion is to use the conjunction "and" which, while grammatically correct, feels off to read considering I just used "and" to connect two adverbs in the phrase prior. was thinking of something like "as well as" or something, not sure if that would be acceptable though so running this by you first.

 

[UT]

Rest of the GP team seems to be saying no to morb, unless you make it more clever. I defer to them.

Would you be happy with a compromise of “Boasting impressive attacking stats and the highest Speed in the metagame,“?

“backbones, as well as punish…” would be fine, yes.

Hope you’re happy with those, thanks for working with me
