Boasting impressive Speed, Special Attack, and unresisted Ghost/Fairy coverage, Nasty Plot Spectrier is one of the best stallbreakers and Special Attacking threats in the tier. Draining Kiss allows Spectrier to handle Ghost resists like Garganacl and Arceus-Dark, and serves as a solid means of recovery against high HP targets such as Blissey and Dondozo. Taunt shuts down potential phasing from Roar users like Solgaleo and Arceus-Formes, status moves like Thunder Wave, and Softboiled and Calm Mind from Blissey, giving Spectrier a fantastic matchup against stall. Substitute can be used as protection against Garganacl's Salt Cure and Magaerna's Volt Switch, and can prevent being revenge killed by Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Palafin. Tera Fairy boosts Draining Kiss' power to 75 Base Power, and blocks phazing from Dragon Tail users like Giratina and Dialga. Heavy Duty Boots can be used to stop the impact of Toxic Spikes and other hazards on a potential sweep, while Leftovers provide some extra passive recovery. Spectrier fits on Hyper Offense and Offensive teams that want a consistent stallbreaker. Spectrier's poor bulk makes it vulnerable to faster attackers like Chien-Pao, Zacian, and Deoxys, as well as priority moves such as Jet Punch and Extreme Speed post-terastallization. For this reason, Zacian also works well as a teammate, as it takes care of many threats that can outspeed and KO Spectrier. Hazard setters such as Magaerna, Landorus-T, and Deoxys-S make Spectrier's job easier, wearing down opponents enough for Spectrier to secure KOes and Grim Neigh boosts without needing to Nasty Plot beforehand.

Boasting an impressive Special Attack Stat of 145 and (This is pretty obvious info. Would rather say "High Special Attack and Speed stats" instead.) practically and unresisted Ghost/Fairy coverage, Nasty Plot Spectrier is one of the best stallbreakers and Special Attacking threats in the tier. Draining Kiss allows Spectrier to handle Ghost-type resists like Garganacl and Arceus-Dark, and serves as a solid means of recovery against high HP targets such as Blissey and Dondozo. Taunt shuts down potential phasing from Roar users like Solgaleo and Arceus-Formes, as well as status moves like Thunder Wave from Magaerna and Slowking-Galar. Taunt also prevents Blissey from being able to use Calm Mind or Soft-Boiled, meaning Spectrier can defeat it with enough boosts and Tera Fairy Draining Kiss. (Combine these two Sentences together, and mention how it lets Spectrier dominate stall.) Substitute can be used as protection against Garganacl's Salt Cure (Mention something else here too, like Mag Volt Switch ofr example.) effect, and can prevent being revenge killed by Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Palafin (Also lets Spec take advantage of the switchouts it forces). Tera Fairy boosts Draining Kiss' power to 75 Base Power, and blocks phasing phazing from Dragon Tail users like Giratina and Dialga. Heavy-Duty Boots can be used to stop the impact of Toxic Spikes and other hazards on a potential sweep, while Leftovers provide some extra passive recovery. (Mention how Spectrier mostly fits on HO / offensive teams looking for a reliable stallbreaker) Spectrier's poor bulk makes it vulnerable to faster attackers like Chien-Pao, Zacian, and Deoxys, as well as priority moves such as Jet Punch and Extreme Speed post-terastallization. For this reason, Zacian also works well as a teammate, as it takes care of many threats that can outspeed and KO Spectrier. Hazard setters such as Magaerna, Landorus-Therian, and Deoxys-Speed make Spectrier's job easier, wearing down opponents enough for Spectrier to secure KOes and Grim Neigh boosts without needing to Nasty Plot beforehand.

Boasting impressive Speed, Special Attack, and unresisted Ghost/Fairy coverage, Nasty Plot Spectrier is one of the best stallbreakers and Special Attacking threats special attackers in the tier. Draining Kiss allows Spectrier to handle Ghost resists like Garganacl, Blissey,(mention bliss here since that's a major one) and Arceus-Dark, and serves as a solid means of recovery against high HP targets such as Blissey and Dondozo. Taunt shuts down potential phasing from Roar users like Solgaleo and Arceus-Formes, status moves like Thunder Wave, and Softboiled and Calm Mind from Blissey, giving Spectrier a fantastic matchup against stall. Substitute can be used instead as protection against Garganacl's Salt Cure and Magaerna's Volt Switch, and can prevent being revenge killed by Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Palafin. Tera Fairy boosts Draining Kiss' power to 75 Base Power, (this sounds a bit clunky, maybe "greatly boosts draining kiss' power would be better? up to you though) and blocks phazing from Dragon Tail users like Giratina and Dialga. Heavy Duty Boots can be used to stop the impact of Toxic Spikes and other hazards on a potential sweep, while Leftovers provide some extra passive recovery. Spectrier fits on Hyper Offense and Offensive teams that want a consistent stallbreaker. Spectrier's poor bulk makes it vulnerable to faster attackers like Chien-Pao, Zacian, and Deoxys, as well as priority moves such as Jet Punch and Extreme Speed post-terastallization. For this reason, Zacian (add more examples, deo and pfin can both beat zac.) also works well as a teammate, as it takes care of many threats that can outspeed and KO Spectrier. Hazard setters such as Magaerna Magearna, Landorus-T, and Deoxys-S make Spectrier's job easier, wearing down opponents enough for Spectrier to secure KOes and Grim Neigh boosts without needing to Nasty Plot beforehand.(add examples of mons it beats w/ hazards up)
