LC Archen

[gali]

Archen @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Defeatist
Level: 5
EVs: 180 Atk / 76 Def / 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dual Wingbeat
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- U-turn

The First Bird Pokemon is a dangerous cleaner with Choice Scarf! Archen is a trendy pick as a Choice Scarf user thanks to its high Attack and STAB Dual Wingbeat, which OHKOes Mienfoo and hits almost the entire metagame for neutral damage. Furthermore, 17 Speed and Choice Scarf outspeeds boosted foes like Dragon Dance Tyrunt, Choice Scarf Porygon, and Carvanha. Earthquake hits the few Pokemon that do resist Dual Wingbeat, such as Pawniard, for super effective damage. Knock Off softens up common switch-ins like Ferroseed, and U-turn gains momentum for Archen's teammates. Entry hazard removal from teammates like Drilbur and Staryu is important to prevent Stealth Rock chip from activating Defeatist. Knock Off users like Mienfoo and Pawniard help weaken the opposing team so Archen can clean. Pokemon that resist Grass like Koffing and Natu can switch into Grookey, which can revenge kill Archen or bring it into Defeatist range with Grassy Glide.

Change the order of the moves to make sense with the writing or change the order of the sentences.

Furthermore, its good Speed stat

Mention the actual speed stat it hits pre- or post-scarf. Not both.

for an Archen sweep.

Don't really think archen is much of a sweeper, a late-game cleaner maybe, a wallbreaker maybe. But isn't really under the typical sweeper definition.

Grass resists like Koffing and Natu can switch into Grookey's Grassy Glide.

So what? Expand or remove entirely.

QC 1/1
