Set Details

Krilowatt functions as a fantastic pivot with it’s good stats, great offensive typing, and an exceptional ability in Magic Guard, which allows it to pivot constantly without fear of getting chipped down by hazards, while also removing recoil from Life Orb. Volt Switch helps get chip on opposing walls like Arghonaut or Crescsidon, while also switching in another teammate to capitalize on that damage. Surf deals with threats like Gliscor, Heatran, Great Tusk, Volcarona, and most Hemogoblin sets, while Thunderbolt deals with Arghonaut, Cresceidon, Venomicon, Primarina, and Skarmory. Ice Beam covers Grass- types and Dragon- types that can easily take one of Krilowatt’s other moves such as Caribolt, Dragapult, and Miasmaw, as well as getting Rillaboom and Meowscarada on the switch. Tera Water boosts up the damage of Surf, while shedding it’s weakness to ground, allowing Krilowatt to take that one hit to cripple that threat.

Krilowatt fits best on Balance and Bulky Offense teams as it can force out other Pokémon with its decent offensive presence, and bring in other Pokémon safely using Volt Switch. Krilowatt pairs well with a Knock Off absorber like Clefable or Gliscor, as most of Krilowatt’s offensive presence is due to it’s Life Orb, and both can provide hazards to chip down Pokemon further. Gliscor specifically pairs well with Krilowatt as Gliscor can provide even more chip down with Toxic. Krilowatt also pairs well with sweepers like Hemogoblin and Roaring Moon, as they abuse the free switch-in and chip that Krilowatt provides, allowing them to break through their checks. Krilowatt is also weak to fast Grass- and -Ground attackers, so pairing it with Kyurem, Ogerpon-Wellspring, or Venomicon can really help keep Krilowatt healthy to continue Volt Switching. Dragapult is an amazing offensive partner with Krilowatt, as it can deal huge damage to special walls like Slowking-Galar or Equilibra, and can also form a good VoltTurn core with Krilowatt.

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

**Knock Off** Since Krilowatt’s main offensive pressure comes off of Life Orb, Pokémon that can remove Life Orb greatly reduces Krilowatt’s offensive output. Pokémon such as Weavile and Roaring Moon outspeed Krilowatt and can Knock Krilowatt’s Life orb off while dealing tons of damage.

**Offensive Grass Types** Pokémon like Meowscarada and Serperior can out-speed Krilowatt and threaten to KO it using their strong Grass type attacks, while also taking Surf and Thunderbolt rather easily. However, they don’t like taking an Ice Beam on the switch. Rillaboom also threatens Krilowatt, as it can survive one Ice Beam, and OHKO it with priority Grassy Glide.

**Specially Bulky Pokemon** Pokemon like Mollux and Slowking-Galar can easily take Krilowatt’s attacks and can respond with either a Future Sight or setting up a Stealth Rock. Equilibra can also be a problem, because it’s immune to Volt Switch and can respond with a Rapid Spin or Doom Desire, but it doesn’t like switching into a Surf.

**Clodsire** Clodsire acts as a complete counter to Krilowatt, as it can easily recover damage off of Ice Beam, is Immune to Volt Switch due to it’s ground typing, Is immune to Water if running the niche Water Absorb, and can 2HKO it with Earthquake.

EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Surf
- Thunderbolt /Discharge (A better paralysis chance isn’t worth the loss of power for a Mon like Kril)
- Ice Beam ( Not on Sample but Earth Power is a viable alternative, helping Krilowatt win the mirror and beat Plasmanta and Mullox.)

Set Details

Krilowatt functions as a fantastic pivot with its good stats, great offensive typing, and an exceptional ability in Magic Guard, which prevents all passive damage, (unnecessary Dex info) which allows it to Volt Switch pivot constantly without fear of getting chipped down by hazards. Volt Switch also allows it to switch into teammates that could pressure the opponent, or chip down opposing walls like Arghonaut or Crescsidon, allowing another teammate or Krilowatt to capitalize on that damage (This sentence is pretty long and probably needs to be reworded). Surf and Electric STAB allow Krilowatt to deal chunks of damage into common metagame threats, and pressure them into a switch, as Krilowatt’s natural bulk means that it can survive a neutral hit from these Pokémon , and (This section is unnecessary since you mention STABs later on) Life Orb boost‘s its lackluster attack stats into fairly reasonable territory, while Magic Guard removes the recoil that comes with it (Suggest you move this to where you mention Magic Guard for better coherency). Surf deals with common Water weak Pokémon threats like Gliscor, Heatran, Great Tusk, Volcarona, and most Hemogoblin sets, while Electric STAB Thunderbolt deals with Arghonaut, Cresceidon, Venomicon, Primarina, and Skarmory , and more, . between Thunderbolt for more damage, or Discharge for the increases chance of paralysis, crippling Pokémon further. Ice Beam covers Grass- types and Dragon- types that can easily take one of Krilowatt’s other moves such as is coverage that hits Caribolt, Dragapult, Malaconda (Mala really doesn’t mind Ice Beam and will just Parting Shot out anyway), and Miasmaw, as well as getting Rillaboom and Meowscarada on the switch. Tera Water boosts up the damage of Surf, while shedding it’s weakness to ground, allowing Krilowatt to take that one hit to cripple that threat.

Krilowatt fits best on Balance and Bulky Offense teams as it can force out other Pokémon with its decent offensive presence, and Volt Switch into other pokemon which can capitalize on the chip that Volt Switch provides (Bit of a run-on sentence. Needs to be reworded). Krilowatt pairs well with a Knock Off absorber like Clefable or Gliscor, as most of Krilowatt’s offensive presence is due to its Life Orb, and both can provide hazards to chip down Pokemon further. Gliscor specifically pairs well with Krilowatt as Gliscor can provide even more chip down with Toxic. Krilowatt also pairs well with sweepers like Hemogoblin and Roaring Moon, as they can abuse the free switch-in and chip that Krilowatt provides, allowing them to break through their checks. Krilowatt is also weak to fast Grass- attackers appreciates Grass and Ground resistances, so pairing it with a Grass resist like Kyurem or Ogerpon-Wellspring (Mention Venomicon) can really help keep Krilowatt healthy to continue Volt Switching. Dragapult is an amazing offensive partner with Krilowatt, as it can deal huge damage to special walls like Slowking-Galar or Equilibra, and can also form a good VoltTurn core with Krilowatt.

**Offensive Grass Types** Pokémon like Meowscarada and Serperior can out-speed Krilowatt and threaten to KO it using their strong Grass type attacks, while also taking Surf and Thunderbolt rather easily, however. However, they don’t like taking an Ice Beam on the switch. Special note to Rillaboom also threatens Krilowatt, as it can survive one Ice Beam, and OHKO it with priority Grassy Glide.

**Specially Bulky Pokemon** Pokemon like Mollux and Slowking-Galar can Eeasily take Krilowatt’s attacks and can respond with either a Future Sight or setting up a Stealth Rock. Equilibra can also be a slight problem, because it’s immune to Volt Switch and can respond with a Rapid Spin of Doom Desire (A Rapid Spin of Doom Desire IS terrifying! Yeah, reword to what you were probably trying to say), but it doesn’t like switching into a Surf.

**Clodsire** Clodsire acts as a complete counter to Krilowatt, as it can easily recover damage off of Ice Beam, is Immune to Volt Switch due to it’s ground typing, Is immune to Water if running the niche Water Absorb, and can 2HKO it with Earthquake.
