[SET COMMENTS]
Oricorio-F is one of the tier's premier setup sweepers because of its ability to take advantage of special attackers that cannot threaten it like Drifblim and Lurantis. Oricorio-F is especially formidable when Terastallizing, in part because its signature move, Revelation Dance, changes typing along with it. Hurricane is the preferred coverage option for its high Base Power and chance to confuse its target, but Air Slash can be used instead for irs higher accuracy at the cost of a significant power drop. It should also be noted that Taunt can be used over either Revelation Dance or Flying-type coverage to allow Oricorio-F to set up on certain defensive checks such as Chansey, Umbreon, and Crocalor, which can cause Oricorio-F trouble. 252 Speed EVs allow Oricorio-F to outspeed Bruxish and common Choice Scarf users like Passimian and Rotom at +1 Speed. Oricorio-F appreciates Terastallizing into a Grass-type to set up on common Water-types like Vaporeon, Qwilfish, and Bruxish while adding an Electric resistance that lets Oricorio-F not fear Electric-types like Eelektross, Rotom, and Jolteon. Alternatively, Tera Ground can be used to surprise Electric-types and gain a free turn of setup while avoiding Thunder Wave from the likes of Chansey and Umbreon. To effectively pull off a sweep, Oricorio-F appreciates the removal of special walls such as Chansey, Vaporeon, and Assault Vest Eelektross from the field, which makes physical wallbreakers that can take advantage of them like Mabosstiff and Toxicroak powerful partners. Oricorio-F also appreciates defensive answers to Bruxish's and Lycanroc's Accelerock, such as Lurantis and Sandaconda, as both can threaten to revenge kill Oricorio-F, although a well-timed Tera can bait both of them.
