You've Gotta Try
Cresceidon @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Multiscale
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Scald
- Thunder Wave / Encore
- Recover
Turn the tide of battle with CAP's newest addition! Cresceidon's typing and bulk let it handle dangerous offensive Pokemon like Gouging Fire, Walking Wake, Hemogoblin, and Roaring Moon while giving it the capacity to situationally check most Pokemon in the format thanks to its Speed and Multiscale. Common switch-ins such as Venomicon and Gholdengo can be easily frustrated by Moonblast and Scald's secondary effects. Thunder Wave cripples fast offensive threats for the rest of the team and works in tandem with Cresceidon's STAB combo dissuading Ground-types like Equilibra and Great Tusk. Encore is an alternate option that can shut down setup sweepers like Kingambit and Ogerpon-W or even punish slower walls by locking them into weak attacks or recovery moves. Tera Poison lets Cresceidon flip its matchup versus Grass- and Poison-types like Rillaboom, Serperior, and Venomicon, as well as dodging Toxic. Because Heavy-Duty Boots is crucial to avoid hazard damage and maintain Multiscale, Gliscor makes an excellent partner that can absorb Knock Off, alongside handling Poison- and Electric-type moves. Hex Dragapult loves Cresceidon's ability to spread status with Thunder Wave and Scald, allowing it to clean teams much more efficiently.
