[SET COMMENTS]
Unaware Scream Tail is a premier defensive threat in the metagame, capable of walling foes such as Azelf, Roaring Moon, and Quaquaval, stonewalling most setup attempts, and being a powerful wincon. Wish + Protect is vital to ensure Scream Tail's health throughout the match, and it is also useful for healing teammates like Kingambit and Slither Wing, which often lack recovery of their own and are prone to being chipped down throughout a match. Calm Mind is suggested to ensure Scream Tail can become a late-game wincon, but Thunder Wave can be run instead as further team support for Hex users like Skeledirge and Hisuian Typhlosion. Encore and Stealth Rock can also be used for further protection against setup sweepers and role compression, respectively. Unaware ensures it can check boosted foes like Chien-Pao and opposing Calm Mind users like Triage Enamorus-T. 20 Speed EVs ensure it will always outspeed Hoopa, Volcanion, and Adamant Slither Wing. Scream Tail is taken advantage of by common Steel-, Fire-, and Poison-types like Hisuian Goodra, Hisuan Arcanine, and Iron Moth, so switch-ins to them like Heatran, Garchomp, and Alolan Muk are recommended; they also benefit from Scream Tail's Wish. Teammates that are weak to Fighting- and Psychic-type attacks like Iron Treads and Galarian Zapdos greatly appreciate Scream Tail's ability to switch into them.
