Support Requirements: something to prevent primarina from inducing sleep with sing, such as safeguard, misty terrain, electric terrain, sweet veil, or throat chop. something to reduce damage allies take, such as light screen or snarl. something to eliminate dugtrio's weakness to sparkling aria, such as soak or entrainment (water absorb).

Strategy: terastalize ASAP. mud slap until your stats get wiped. protect if not yet terastalized (or if your sing protection is ability based). 3x swords dance, iron head to victory.

Pros: supereffective tera type matching base type, excellent atk stat, decent spdef stat, outspeeds primarina, no weaknesses after ally uses soak or entrainment. resists psychic and moonblast, mud slap debuffs accuracy through shield while charging tera orb, protect prevents sleep and supereffective sparkling aria on the turn after getting stats wiped. swords dance buffs atk quickly. metronome increases damage with consecutive attacks 20% per turn maxing out at 100%. iron head has 80 base power and deals supereffective STAB (tera-boosted when terastalized) damage

Cons: atrocious HP stat.

Overall Rating: 8/10
