Bellibolt @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Static
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Muddy Water
- Toxic
- Slack Off

Sometimes all you need in life, or in this case, PU, is a little heart and a big belly. Defensive investment with Static and reliable recovery make Bellibolt a premier physical wall, checking Scyther, Staraptor, and Arcanine while still having enough bulk to act as a mixed wall if needed. Volt Switch allows Bellibolt to maintain momentum whenever it comes in, able to pivot out of Pokemon like Snorlax. Muddy Water 2HKOes Sandaconda and, with Tera Water, can OHKO Lycanroc and Sandslash. Toxic stops Bellibolt from being too passive, able to hit Florges and Snorlax, and is most importantly the only way it can deal meaningful damage to Gastrodon. Rocky Helmet heavily punishes physical attacks, in particular Wave Crash from Paldean Tauros-W and Dual Wingbeat from Scyther. Tera Water is used as a defensive tool to check aforementioned Paldean Tauros-W and Floatzel while removing its Ground weakness, allowing it to check Pokemon like Sandslash. Bellibolt is able to form an excellent VoltTurn core with other pivots like Flamigo, Milotic, and Scyther. Zoroark and Arcanine appreciate the appearance of Bellibolt on a team, as it is excellent at removing checks like Staraptor and Paldean Tauros-W, and are able to be brought in numerous times in a battle by a slow Volt Switch from it.

Sometimes all you need in life, or in this case, the PU tier PU (the PU tier sounds a bit klunky, so im just saying PU.), is a little heart and a big belly. With fantastic mixed bulk, Bellibolt is able to act as a blanket check to many of the tiers threats. Defensive investment pairs with the Static ability to make Bellibolt a premier physical wall, able to check Scyther, Staraptor, and Arcanine with Rocky Helmet, while also heavily punishing Wave Crash from Tauros-Paldea-Aqua. (I think these two sentences should be combined together, saying like "Defensive investment with Static and Reliable recovery make Bellibolt a premier physical wall, checking x, y, and z while still having enough bulk to act as a mixed wall if needed. Also Rocky Helmet should have its own line.)) Tera Water is used here as a defensive tool to check aforementioned Tauros-Paldea-Aqua and Floatzel, while removing its Ground-type weakness. (this line is fine as is, but it should be after the moves section.) Volt Switch allows Bellibolt to maintain momentum whenever it comes in. Muddy Water 2HKO's Sandaconda and with Tera Water it can OHKO Lycanroc and Sandslash. Toxic stops Bellibolt from being too passive, able to hit Florges, Snorlax, and is critically, the only way it can provide meaningful damage to Gastrodon. Slack Off gives Bellibolt the longevity it needs to be able to check multiple threats like Tauros-Paldea-Fire and Flamigo in any given battle. (This is pretty self-explaintory, I dont think this is needed.) Bellibolt is able to form an excellent Volt-Turn core with other pivots like Flamigo, Milotic, and Scyther. (Maybe add a line or two about pokemon like Zoro or Arc who really like having Tauros / Raptor removed for them.)
Dm me on discord when you do this, i wanna check this again :3

Rocky Helmet heavily punishes physical attacks, in particular, Wave Crash from Tauros-Paldea-Aqua. (This line is fine, but i would add examples of some other Pokemon it punishes like Scyther or whatever. Move this after the Moves section too.) Volt Switch allows Bellibolt to maintain momentum whenever it comes in (get momentum against what?). Muddy Water 2HKO's Sandaconda and with Tera Water it can OHKO Lycanroc and Sandslash.

Muddy Water 2HKO's 2HKOes Sandaconda and, (AC) with Tera Water, (AC) it can OHKO Lycanroc and Sandslash. Toxic stops Bellibolt from being too passive, able to hit Florges, (AC) and Snorlax, and is critically, (RC) most importantly the only way it can provide deal meaningful damage to Gastrodon. Rocky Helmet heavily punishes physical attacks, in particular, (RC) Wave Crash from Tauros-Paldea-Aqua Paldean Tauros-W, Dual Wingbeat from Scyther, and many others <= trailing statements like "and more" or "etc" are usually frowned upon, can consider removing. Tera Water is used as a defensive tool to check aforementioned Tauros-Paldea-Aqua Paldean Tauros-W and Floatzel, (RC) while removing its Ground-type weakness, allowing it to check Pokemon like Sandslash. Bellibolt is able to form an excellent Volt-(RH)Turn core with other pivots like Flamigo, Milotic, and Scyther. Zoroark and Arcanine appreciate the appearance of Bellibolt on a team, (AC) as it is excellent at removing checks like Staraptor and Tauros-Paldea-Aqua Paldean Tauros-W, and are able to be brought in numerous times in a battle by a slow Volt Switch from it.
