===================
Jumbao is one of the best Pokemon in the metagame thanks to its excellent offensive stats, defensive utility, and incredible ability in Drought, which enables a host of powerful offensive partners. Tera Blast Fire pressures the Steel- and Poison-types that resist Jumbao's STAB combination, such as Gholdengo, Corviknight, and Venomicon. Alternatively, if Jumbao is paired with teammates that rely on Terastallizing, Focus Blast can be used to retain the OHKO on Kingambit. Synthesis lets Jumbao continuously keep sun up with Heat Rock and outlast Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Roaring Moon. Tera Fire allows Jumbao to take advantage of Tera Blast Fire's coverage and improves its matchup against Steel-types such as Scizor and Gholdengo by removing its Steel weakness.

Jumbao can fit comfortably on a variety of playstyles from bulky offense to balance thanks to the team support it provides through Drought. Fire-types such as Skeledirge, Cinderace, Ceruledge, and Iron Moth and Protosynthesis users such as Roaring Moon, Sandy Shocks, and Great Tusk are Jumbao's best offensive partners, as they all become extremely dangerous under sun. Since Jumbao is incredibly vulnerable to opposing Fire-types, defensive Pokemon that can handle them, such as Toxapex, Arghonaut, Ting-Lu, and Garganacl, are excellent partners. The latter three can also set entry hazards to help Jumbao wallbreak, while Toxapex can handle opposing Jumbao and Glimmora. Toxapex and Hatterene can create momentum for sun teams with Eject Button, which keeps entry hazards off the field for Fire-type teammates. Bulky Steel-types such as Corviknight and Equilibra can check Poison-types that Jumbao struggles to break such as Amoonguss and Venomicon and appreciate Jumbao handling their checks, such as Krilowatt and Great Tusk.

Set Details
===================
Choice Scarf Jumbao picks off normally faster threats such as Dragapult, Iron Valiant, and Krilowatt and supports offensive teammates with Healing Wish. Drought allows Jumbao to use Solar Beam quicker and provide sun support for teammates such as Great Tusk and Cinderace. Trace, on the other hand, allows Jumbao to copy valuable abilities such as Toxapex's Regenerator and Venomicon-E's Tinted Lens; however, it requires Jumbao to run Leaf Storm to retain a powerful Grass-type STAB move because of Solar Beam's two-turn wait outside of sun. Tera Fire with Tera Blast grants Jumbao coverage to hit Steel-types such as Corviknight and Gholdengo and resistances to key attacks such as Gholdengo's Make It Rain, Iron Valiant's Moonblast, and Baxcalibur's Ice Shard. Focus Blast, on the other hand, lets Jumbao OHKO Kingambit without Terastallizing.

Choice Scarf Jumbao is a strong asset to bulky offense teams, providing them with speed control and incredibly useful Healing Wish support. Defensive pivots that lack reliable recovery, such as Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, Equilibra, and Rotom-W, benefit immensely from Jumbao's ability to bring them back to full health late in the game, which gives them the freedom to take more hits early on. These Pokemon can also handle the Steel- and Fire-types that can take Jumbao's STAB attacks, such as Cinderace, Gholdengo, and Iron Moth. Pivots like Rotom-W, Corviknight, and Cinderace can bring Jumbao in safely against Pokemon it threatens, such as Krilowatt and Hydreigon. Bulky setup sweepers such as Hatterene and Kingambit can break down teams for Jumbao to clean late-game and greatly appreciate Jumbao giving them a second chance to sweep with Healing Wish. Poison-types such as Toxapex, Venomicon, and Clodsire wall Jumbao, so wallbreakers that can threaten them, such as Dragapult, Baxcalibur, and Smokomodo, are good teammates. Lastly, if Jumbao opts to use Drought, it can set sun to support Fire-types such as Skeledirge and Iron Moth and Protosynthesis users such as Great Tusk and Roaring Moon.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Checks and Counters
===================

**Fire-types**: Jumbao has nothing in its arsenal to meaningfully damage Fire-types such as Skeledirge, Volcarona, Iron Moth, and Ceruledge, all of which can take advantage of it by setting up or firing off a powerful attack. While Cinderace has to be more wary of repeated hits, it can switch into Jumbao at least once with relative impunity and force it out.

**Poison-types**: Amoonguss switches into Jumbao relatively well and can use Spore as it is forced out but must watch out for Tera Blast Fire. Toxapex, Clodsire, and Venomicon can wall Jumbao and use it as an opportunity to set entry hazards or force progress with Toxic or Knock Off. Venomicon-E outspeeds Jumbao and can take at least one hit and OHKO back with Gunk Shot or Brave Bird.

**Steel-types**: Steel-types such as Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Bulletproof Equilibra can wall and KO Jumbao with their STAB attacks, but they take significant damage from Tera Blast Fire if Jumbao Terastallizes.

**Faster Pokemon**: If Jumbao does not hold a Choice Scarf, it is vulnerable to faster attackers with super effective coverage such as Greninja, Dragapult, and Stratagem.

Tera Blast Fire pressures the Steel- and Poison-types that resist Jumbao's STAB combination, such as Gholdengo, Corviknight, and Amoonguss. I would only mention Steel-types here, as Amogus only is weak due to it’s Grass typing Alternatively, if Jumbao is paired with teammates that rely on Terastallizing, Focus Blast can be used to land huge damage on threats such as Kingambit and Cinderace. Healing Wish is used on Choice Scarf Jumbao to gain momentum and give a powerful attacker a second chance to sweep. Otherwise, Synthesis lets Jumbao continuously set sun and check you already check these, I might say “outlast” Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Roaring Moon, as well as offset Life Orb recoil. Choice Scarf allows Jumbao to revenge kill threats such as Dragapult, Iron Valiant, and Caribolt I’d put Astrolotl or a Mon weak to its STABs. Life Orb allows Jumbao to score critical 2HKOs against walls such as Toxapex and Venomicon, turning it into a more self-sufficient wallbreaker. Heat Rock is an option for dedicated sun teams that allows allow Jumbao to take full advantage of its defensive presence and longevity by keeping sun up throughout the game. If Jumbao opts to use Focus Blast over Tera Blast, Tera Grass can be used to more effectively pressure Toxapex, Clodsire, and Bulletproof Equilibra with Solar Beam.

Jumbao can fit comfortably on a variety of teamstyles, from hyper offense to balance, due to its offensive and defensive utility and the team support it provides through Drought. Fire-types such as Cinderace, Ceruledge, and Iron Moth, AC and Protosynthesis users such as Roaring Moon, Sandy Shocks, and Great Tusk are Jumbao's best offensive partners, as they all become extremely dangerous under the sun. Choice Scarf Jumbao can additionally shield these Pokemon from revenge killers such as Dragapult. I’d include more such as Rev (or the ones you put in your C&C section) Since Jumbao is incredibly vulnerable to opposing Fire-types, defensive Pokemon that can handle them, such as Toxapex, Arghonaut, Ting-Lu, and Garganacl, are excellent partners. The latter three can also set entry hazards to help Jumbao wallbreak, while Toxapex can handle opposing Jumbao and create momentum for sun teams with Eject Button it can, but Eject Button is super niche on Pex. Hatterene can also gain momentum with Eject Button and provides sun teams with a valuable Toxapex check. Bulky Steel-types such as Corviknight and Equilibra can check Poison-types briefly say how Jumbao struggles against them such as Amoonguss and Venomicon and appreciate Jumbao handling their checks, such as Krilowatt and Great Tusk. Rotom-W and Iron Hands are good options over/with Great Tusk (Levitate Equilibra)

Checks and Counters
===================

**Fire-types**: Jumbao has very little in its arsenal to meaningfully damage Fire-types such as Skeledirge, Volcarona, Iron Moth, and Ceruledge, all of which can take advantage of it by setting up or firing off a powerful attack. While Astrolotl and Cinderace have to be more wary of repeated hits, they can switch into Jumbao at least once with relative impunity and force it out.

**Poison-types**: Amoonguss switch into Jumbao relatively well and can use Spore as it is forced out, but must watch out for Tera Blast Fire. I’d talk about Venomicon (literally the best Mon in the metagame) here and move Amoonguss to the progress setters Toxapex, Clodsire, and Venomicon can wall Jumbao and use it as an opportunity to set entry hazards or force progress with Toxic or Knock Off; however, they all must be wary of Life Orb Jumbao. Venomicon-E outspeeds Jumbao and can take at least one hit and OHKO back with Gunk Shot or Brave Bird.

**Steel-types**: Steel-types such as Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Bulletproof Equilibra can wall and KO Jumbao with their STAB attacks if it does not have access to Tera Blast Fire. Steel types is only a little misleading here cause Focus Blast, so I’d talk about that here as well

**Faster Pokemon**: If Jumbao does not hold a Choice Scarf, it can be vulnerable to faster attackers with super effective coverage such as Greninja, Dragapult, and Stratagem.

Implemented a lot of your suggestions, thanks for the great AMQC!

 

[Lasen]

gonna do a very quick check that isn't a stamp; first off, separate Jumbao into two sets: Choice Scarf (primary set) and Heat Rock. Choice Scarf can realistically run Trace + Leaf Storm to gain access to Regenerator from Toxapex, Tinted Lens from E-Book or just run good-ol' Drought and be (mostly) self sufficient.

Tera Grass should be dropped altogether; you're never running anything but Tera Fire on either set since Fire rids you of Steel weakness and turns the table on Gholdengo.

Life Orb is a very, very bad item; Toxapex has pivoted into AV sets and any Tera typing on common soft checks like tera Flying Libra/Water Venomicon makes you cry.

most important distinction is actually the teammates section, where Heat Rock facilitates every single Protosynthesis haver in the tier.

finally, remove Orthworm mentions now that the mon lost Shed Tail it's useless.

(Cinderace is a bad example since it just kills you. Also, I would like to see this reworded, as the current wording sort of implies that Kingambit doesn't take a lot from Tera Blast Fire, which isn't true) Synthesis lets Jumbao continuously set sun and outlast Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Roaring Moon. Heat Rock, thanks to Jumbao's excellent defensive profile and longevity, allows it to keep sun up more consistently throughout the game. Tera Fire allows Jumbao to take advantage of Fire-type coverage from Tera Blast and improves its matchup with against Steel-types such as Scizor and Gholdengo by removing its Steel weakness.

===================
Jumbao is one of the best Pokemon in the metagame due thanks to its excellent offensive stats, defensive utility, and incredible ability in Drought, which enables a host of powerful offensive partners. Tera Blast Fire pressures the Steel- and Poison-types that resist Jumbao's STAB combination, such as Gholdengo, Corviknight, and Venomicon. Alternatively, if Jumbao is paired with teammates that rely on Terastallizing, Focus Blast can be used to retain the OHKO on Kingambit. Synthesis lets Jumbao continuously set keep sun up with Heat Rock and outlast Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Roaring Moon. Heat Rock, thanks to Jumbao's excellent defensive profile and longevity, allows it to keep sun up more consistently throughout the game. Tera Fire allows Jumbao to take advantage of Tera Blast Fire's coverageFire-type coverage from Tera Blast and improves its matchup against Steel-types such as Scizor and Gholdengo by removing its Steel weakness.

Jumbao can fit comfortably on a variety of playstylesteamstyles, from bulky offense to balance, (remove commas) thanks to due to its offensive and defensive utility and the team support it provides through Drought. Fire-types such as Skeledirge, Cinderace, Ceruledge, and Iron Moth and Protosynthesis users such as Roaring Moon, Sandy Shocks, and Great Tusk are Jumbao's best offensive partners, as they all become extremely dangerous under the sun. Since Jumbao is incredibly vulnerable to opposing Fire-types, defensive Pokemon that can handle them, such as Toxapex, Arghonaut, Ting-Lu, and Garganacl, are excellent partners. The latter three can also set entry hazards to help Jumbao wallbreak, while Toxapex can handle opposing Jumbao and Glimmora. Toxapex and Hatterene can also create momentum for sun teams with Eject Button, as can Hatterene, which keeps entry hazards off the field for Fire-type teammates. Bulky Steel-types such as Corviknight and Equilibra can check Poison-types that Jumbao struggles to break such as Amoonguss and Venomicon and appreciate Jumbao handling their checks, such as Krilowatt and Great Tusk.

Set Details
===================
A Choice Scarf allows Jumbao to pick picks off normally faster threats such as Dragapult, Iron Valiant, and Krilowatt and support offensive teammates with Healing Wish. Drought allows Jumbao to use Solar Beam quicker and provide sun support for teammates such as Great Tusk and Cinderace. Trace, on the other hand, allows Jumbao to copytrace valuable abilities such as Toxapex's Regenerator and Venomicon-E's Tinted Lens; however, it requires Jumbao to run Leaf Storm to retain a powerful Grass-type STAB move because of Solar Beam's two-turn wait outside of sun. Tera Fire with Tera Blast grants Jumbao coverage to hit Steel-types such as Corviknight and Gholdengo and resistances to key attacks such as Gholdengo's Make It Rain, Iron Valiant's Moonblast, and Baxcalibur's Ice Shard. Focus Blast, on the other hand, lets Jumbao OHKO Kingambit without Terastallizing.

Choice Scarf Jumbao is a strong asset to bulky offense teams, providing them with speed control and incredibly useful Healing Wish support. Defensive pivots that lack reliable recovery, such as Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, Equilibra, and Rotom-W, benefit immensely from Jumbao's ability to bring them back to full health late in the game, which gives them the freedom to take more hits early on. These Pokemon can also handle the Steel- and Fire-types that can take Jumbao's STAB attacks, such as Cinderace, Gholdengo, and Iron Moth. Pivots like the aforementioned Rotom-W, Corviknight, and Cinderace can bring Jumbao in safely against Pokemon it threatens, such as Krilowatt and Hydreigon. Bulky setup sweepers such as Hatterene and Kingambit can break down teams for Jumbao to clean late-game and greatly appreciate Jumbao giving them a second chance to sweep with Healing Wish. Poison-types such as Toxapex, Venomicon, and Clodsire wall Jumbao, so wallbreakers that can threaten them, such as Dragapult, Baxcalibur, and Smokomodo, are good teammates. Lastly, if Jumbao opts to use Drought, it can set sun to support Fire-types such as Skeledirge and Iron Moth and Protosynthesis users such as Great Tusk and Roaring Moon.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Fire-types**: Jumbao has nothing in its arsenal to meaningfully damage Fire-types such as Skeledirge, Volcarona, Iron Moth, and Ceruledge, all of which can take advantage of it by setting up or firing off a powerful attack. While Cinderace has to be more wary of repeated hits, it can switch into Jumbao at least once with relative impunity and force it out.

**Poison-types**: Amoonguss switches into Jumbao relatively well and can use Spore as it is forced out, (remove comma)but must watch out for Tera Blast Fire. Toxapex, Clodsire, and Venomicon can wall Jumbao and use it as an opportunity to set entry hazards or force progress with Toxic or Knock Off. Venomicon-E outspeeds Jumbao and can take at least one hit and OHKO back with Gunk Shot or Brave Bird.

**Steel-types**: Steel-types such as Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Bulletproof Equilibra can wall and KO Jumbao with their STAB attacks, but they take significant damage from Tera Blast Fire if Jumbao Terastallizes.

**Faster Pokemon**: If Jumbao does not hold a Choice Scarf, it is vulnerable to faster attackers with super effective coverage such as Greninja, Dragapult, and Stratagem.
