Havens
WGI World Champion
Araquanid @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Bubble
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Spider Web
- Toxic
- Soak
- Rest
Besides being the best check to Fire-types for Bug teams by virtue of its ability and typing, Araquanid is also highly valued as a trapper that can threaten the bulkiest walls such as Celesteela and Toxapex. By using Spider Web to trap the foe, Araquanid can use Toxic to stall them out. Additionally, it can use Soak to change the typing of naturally Poison-immune Pokemon such as Heatran and Mega Venusaur into Water-types and then proceed to stall them out with Toxic, or Soak can be used simply to remove the foe's STAB to better survive some 3HKOs such as Latios's Psyshock. Because of this, teammates such as Mega Pinsir and Volcarona are ideal partners, as they can set up and sweep safely when their checks are removed. Teammates such as Choice Scarf Heracross and Scizor can also assist Araquanid by being able to threaten its checks such as Tyranitar and Mega Diancie.
