better typing, better movepool
When it comes to SwagPlay, there is no difference in movepool :P Klefki has better bulk and typing 's all.
Support sets do boast a good deal of options though:
- Spikes: sets up damage for sweepers to clean up more easily
- Light Screen & Reflect: can be used together (with Light Clay) or separately to weaken opposing attackers
- Thunder Wave: slows down opposing sweepers for teammates to pick off easily
- Foul Play: hits physical attackers hard
- Toxic: softens up walls, especially Ground-types
- Torment: prevents consecutive powerful attacks, buying Klefki extra time
- Substitute: blocks status, and can be used in conjuction with Torment to stall for even longer
- Imprison: prevents opposing Spikes (amongst other commonly shared moves)
- Play Rough: good response for Dark-types and Dragon-types
There may be other moves I may have missed out (except Draining Kiss, cos' that is super weak and doesn't even heal that much as a result), but between these moves you should be able to find a use for Klefki on your team, any team.
I'm getting to the point where I just flat out hate the "swagkey" set. It's just fucking dumb and so luck based that I'm surprised people tolerate it.
I mean, evasion moves got banned for being dumb, "uncompetetive," luck based, and annoying right? Which is exactly what that set is. Granted I don't think paralysis should be banned, or even confusion because they are counterable... it's just a weird annoying combo that "works."
Parafusion (and paraflinch sets) can be dealt with certain Pokemon that see use outside of countering said strategy; evasion moves had to be dealt with
moves, which may not always work due to the move merely delaying that strategy (Perish Song, Roar) or the moves simply aren't strong enough (any non-miss move not named Aura Sphere). Also, not all Pokemon can use SwagPlay (and the ones that do usually don't have reliable recovery), while pretty much all Pokemon can use evasion.
The main Pokemon that can easily manhandle most Klefki variants are Gliscor, Hippowdon, Magnezone, Infiltrator Chandelure, and lol Own Tempo Avalugg. Otherwise, just throw in your Electric-type / Ground-type / special attacker / bulky walls and deal with it from there.
