Sigilyph @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Air Slash
- Heat Wave
- Roost
Sigilyph's expansive movepool, amazing ability, and respectable offensive stats make it one of NU's most dangerous threats, so much so that NU is currently conducting a suspect test for it. Very few Pokemon can stop Sigilyph after a Calm Mind due to many of NU's Flying-type checks being obliterated by Heat Wave, namely Copperajah and Bronzong. Psyshock can be used instead of Air Slash to power past specially defensive tanks like Cresselia, Dragalge, and Goodra. Even faster Pokemon like Choice Scarf Rotom-C cannot break past Sigilyph after a Calm Mind, doing, on average, a mere 64% with Thunderbolt. While Sigilyph does have its checks in Rock-types like Tyrantrum, Diancie, and Aerodactyl, they are easily handled by bulky teammates like Gastrodon and Copperajah. Dark-types are also a nuisance, but thanks to Sigilyph's great Special Attack boosted by Life Orb, Pangoro, Zoroark, and Drapion cannot safely come in against any of its attacks.
