Moody Scovillain Sweep

Moody is Scovillain's ability which increases one random stat by two stages and decreases another by one after each turn. This alone can turn Scovillain into a sweeper if you can stall for enough turns.

The setup consists of Orthoworm passing a Substitute to Scovillain, which then allows it to stall by alternating between Protect and Substitute while recovering with Leftovers. Orthoworm has a Sitrus Berry to recover from damage and can Terastallize to Dragon type to avoid Super-Effective hits.

Scovillain can use Tera Blast-Rock instead of Flamethrower to deal with Fire and Dragon types, or Leech Seed instead of Giga Drain for more reliable recovery. Clear Amulet can also be used instead of Leftovers to negate the stat drops. The main counters to this set are Sound moves, Infiltrator Pokemon, multi-hit moves, switch-out moves/Red Card, and bad RNG.
