use imprison meowstic to beat revivecats
The problem with that is that many good revivecats teams have ways of attacking, even if those ways are questionable at best. For instance, Elo Bandit has made a whole video on revivecats, and many of their teams contain far more than just 5 liepards and a smeargle. There are mons like Giratina, Tapu fini, Tapu Lele, Tapu Koko, Xerneas, Xurkitree and more. Imprison meowstic simply can't fight off all of them at once as it can't learn nature power, the premier attacking method for the above mentioned pokemon. Meowstic also can't learn thief, which is an attacking move that is used on Liepard. Thief vs full physdef meowstic may seem really bad (4 Atk Liepard Thief vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Meowstic: 102-120 (28.9 - 34%) -- 0.7% chance to 3HKO) but thief has 40 PP, which combined with an average revivecats team having at least two Liepards(so that they can revivechain with each other) that's 80 full PP. Meowstic isn't exactly bulky by any means, and it's only reliable recovery is with rest. Also, meowstic is likely just dead weight against basically everything else (although I did mess around and it survives some physical attacks, but it's all 2HKO or very high chance to 3HKO. The only exception that I tested against was a zygarde set that I use, but it just sets up on the cat and meowstic does a pathetic 13.8% with a max roll. Let's not talk about the special side. That thing just gets deleted by everything that's has some semblance of offense. Imprison meowstic may be decent as a revivecats counter, but there are far better ones out there(Bandit has a bunch of them)
As a side note, Liepard can also run Taunt if it wants to, and the cat is not only faster than meowstic, but also gets prankster too. This could be stopped with Meowstic having tera dark though.
Edit:Elo Bandit informed me that Taunt can be called by assist, which I missed. My previous line is no longer valid.
Meowstic (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Infiltrator
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Assist
- Imprison
- Signal Beam
- Rest
Rocky helmet for liepard thief, max physdef for the same, signal beam for 2HKO from full, OHKO from 50%. Infiltrator because prankster wouldn't work and keen eye is whatever, realistically both work fine I think. Assist+imprison is obvious and rest is for recovery. Tera dark is to block any possible taunts, and also to make liepard's thief do even less damage.
