Ninjask @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 96 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 156 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Dual Wingbeat
- U-turn
- Protect

Ninjask doubles up as a phenomenal cleaner and pivot with Swords Dance and U-Turn! Dual Wingbeat OHKOes Gallade and Ribombee while also picking up KOs against Scrafty and Gourgeist-S at +2. Protect gives Ninjask a free Speed boost, which allows it to outspeed Choice Scarf Rotom and +1 Silvally. The EV spread enables Ninjask to naturally outspeed Jolteon and Choice Scarf Poliwrath while giving it as much of an offensive presence as possible. Partners that form a VoltTurn core with Ninjask such as Wishiwashi, Vikavolt, and Mesprit are greatly appreciated to alleviate its low bulk and susceptibility to entry hazards. Rock-types like Aggron and Regirock comfortably wall Ninjask, so Water-types that can take them on, like Jellicent and Lanturn, greatly benefit it. Rocky Helmet and Knock Off users like Sandaconda, Weezing, and Ferroseed can wear Ninjask down fast, and bulky Water-types like Quagsire and Jellicent can tank Ninjask's boosted attacks and retaliate with status. Accordingly, special wallbreakers and Electric-types like Whimsicott and Rotom are good teammates, as they can help deal with the aforementioned walls while providing pivot support.

Ninjask doubles up as a phenomenal cleaner and pivot with Swords Dance and U-Turn! Dual Wingbeat OHKOs Gallade and Ribombee, while also picking up KOs against Scrafty, Poliwrath, and Gourgeist-Small at +2. Protect scouts for status moves and allows for a free Speed boost, which allows it to outspeed Choice Scarf Rotom and +1 Silvally formes. The EV spread enables it to outspeed Jolteon and Choice Scarf Poliwrath while giving it as much offensive presence as possible. Partners that can help form a VoltTurn core, such as Wishiwashi, Vikavolt, and Silvally formes Mesprit are greatly appreciated to alleviate its low bulk and susceptibility to entry hazards. Rock-types like Aggron, Regirock, and Gigalith comfortably wall Ninjask, so Water-types that can take them on, like Jellicent and Lanturn, greatly benefit it. Physical walls like Sandaconda, Weezing, and Quagsire also annoy it; special wallbreakers and pivots such as Ribombee and Galarian Articuno greatly help ease its sweeping capabilities. I think you can just work the start of this point with the water types tbh or just split physical walls and rocky helmet users (weezing conda) and go from there
mention knock off users/rocket helmet being really bad for ninjask
