Tauros-Paldea-Combat @ Lum Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Bulk Up
- Close Combat
- Tera Blast
- Trailblaze
Paldean Tauros is ready for the rodeo in NU! Bulk Up makes it a strong and bulky sweeper that threatens much of the tier with its powerful Close Combat. Tera Electric Tera Blast hits common Fighting-resistant foes like Qwilfish, Drifblim, and Scyther super effectively. Trailblaze makes it very difficult to revenge kill, as most of NU's Choice Scarf users can't outspeed it after a Trailblaze. Lum Berry lets Paldean Tauros shrug off Will-O-Wisp from Rotom and Drifblim, potentially 2HKOing or OHKOing them at +1, respectively. Paldean Tauros fits well on offensive teams looking for a potent wincon. Although it has good physical bulk with Intimidate and Bulk Up, its special bulk is mediocre. Therefore, a special wall such as Muk may make for a good partner. Phazers like Eelektross and Dudunsparce can spread entry hazard damage to help Paldean Tauros achieve a sweep. These phazers also invite in Rotom, which is very crucial to wear down, as it walls Paldean Tauros quite effectively before setup.
