Skeledirge @ Custap Berry
Ability: Blaze / Unaware
EVs: 216 HP / 132 Def / 160 SpA
Modest Nature
- Torch Song
- Blast Burn
- Encore
- Endure

The Singer Pokemon makes a potent threat in 1v1! Torch Song allows Skeledirge to deal good damage while also raising its Special Attack, which makes it more offensively potent as the game goes on. When combined with Blast Burn and its ability Blaze, it can OHKO the majority of the tier, beating threats that Torch Song on its own could not such as Baxcalibur. Unaware can also be used instead to consistently beat setup Pokemon like Cresselia. Encore allows Skeledirge to consistently beat opposing Encore users like Iron Valiant and Alolan Ninetales, as well as Pokemon attempting to set up to beat it such as Hisuian Goodra and Volcarona. Endure allows Skeledirge to tank hits that normally would KO it such as Hydro Pump from Choice Specs Iron Bundle and Earth Power from Ursaluna-B and, thanks to Custap Berry, allows Skeledirge to OHKO them back. The EVs allow Skeledirge to tank an Earthquake from Choice Band Baxcalibur and two Sludge Waves from Modest Choice Specs Iron Moth. Skeledirge struggles with bulkier Dragon-, Water-, and Ground-types that can tank its attacks such as Manaphy, Landorus-T, and Regidrago, so Pokemon that can take these threats on such as Sylveon and Ogerpon-W are good teammates.

The Singer Pokemon makes a potent threat in 1v1! Torch Song allows Skeledrige to deal good damage while also raising its Special Attack at the same time, which makes it more offensively potent as the game goes on and combined with Blast Burn and its ability Blaze allows it to OHKO the majority of the tier beating threats Torch Song on its own could not such as Sylveon (sylv should lose anyway even if u only have torch since they dont outdamage) and Baxcalibur. Unaware can also be used instead to consistently beat setup Pokemon like Cresslia. Encore allows Skeledrige to beat more passive Pokemon consistently beat opposing Encore users such as Azumarril(azu always wins) Iron Valiant and Alolan Ninetails, as well as Pokemon attempting to set up to beat it such as Volcarona (you dont need encore to beat volc so it's fine to remove here, if u want to add something add like Goodra-Hisui go ahead but the former aspect is much more meaningful than the latter) . Endure allows Skeledrige to tank hits that normally would KO it such as Hydro Pump from Choice Specs Iron Bundle and Earth Power from Ursaluna-Bloodmoon Ogerpon-Hearthflame (never threatens to OHKO with anything and u can lose to knock off) and thanks to Custap Berry, allows Skeledirge to OHKO them back. The EVs allow Skeledirge to tank an Earthquake from Choice Band Baxcaliber and 2 Sludge Waves from Modest Choice Specs Iron Moth. Skeledirge struggles with bulkier (I would include dragons here too since they're really strong atm) Dragon-, Water- and Ground-types that can tank its attacks such as Walking Wake Manaphy, Garchomp Landorus-Therian, and Regidrago, so Pokemon that can take these threats on such as Sylveon Meowscarada (meow is pretty outdated and outclassed by ogerpon(s)) and Ogerpon-Wellspring are good teammates.
qc check done when implemented lmk if you have any questions :)
