name: Nasty Plot
move 1: Nasty Plot
move 2: Hydro Pump

move 4: Rapid Spin
item: Life Orb
ability: Magic Guard / Beads of Ruin
nature: Timid
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD/ 252 Spe
Tatsugiri is a decent Nasty Plot user that is able to threaten slower foes with its powerful STAB moves and it provides further utility by functioning as a spinner for teams that appreciate more hazard control. Magic Guard affords Tatsugiri some additional safety from entry hazards and chip damage from the likes of Salt Cure and Toxic. Instead of Hydro Pump, Surf can be used for more reliability. Tatsugiri is able to come in on and threaten spinblockers such as Skeledirge and Brambleghast, allowing it to use Nasty Plot or Rapid Spin on prediction. If left unchecked, Tatsugiri may be able to rack up enough boosts from Nasty Plot + Rapid Spin to serve as a frail sweeper. Due to its mediocre physical bulk, Tatsugiri appreciates physical walls such as Corviknight, which can also serve as a slow pivot to bring Tatsugiri safely into a favorable matchup. Tatsugiri also pairs well with physical attackers, such as Cinderace, that can threaten special walls such as Florges and Blissey, which Tatsugiri struggles against. Tatsugiri also appreciates entry hazards or other chip damage to secure KOs that it would typically miss, so Garganacl, with its ability to use Salt Cure and Stealth Rock, is a helpful teammate. Due to its low Speed, Tatsugiri appreciates faster teammates that can act as speed control, such as Chien-Pao or priority users such as Hatterene.
