RegenVest (Manaphy) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD or 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
IVs: 0 Spe
Sassy / Relaxed Nature
- Scald
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Ice Beam / Energy Ball
RegenVest Manaphy's good natural bulk and bevy of utility moves let it serve as a great blanket special switch-in and bring in teammates with a slow U-turn. Scald's burn chance looms over physical attackers looking to advantage of Manaphy's lower physical bulk. Knock Off is used to remove key items like Heavy-Duty Boots and Assault Vest from potential switch-ins like Swampert, Corviknight, and Desolate Land Gouging Fire. Ice Beam dissuades Roaring Moon and Dragonite from setting up on Manaphy. Energy Ball is optionally usable to hit Swampert and opposing Manaphy. Manaphy is excellent at switching into attacks from Heatran, Gholdengo, and Walking Wake, utilizing a slow U-turn to bring in strong but frail wallbreakers like Chien-Pao and Iron Boulder. Great Tusk is a good partner, being immune to the Electric-type attacks Manaphy is weak to, doubling as a top tier entry hazard remover, switching into Knock Off attempts from the likes of Roaring Moon and Mandibuzz. Manaphy should be aware of Knock Off, as it is heavily reliant on Assault Vest to provide defensive value. Manaphy can be overwhelmed by teams with multiple special wallbreakers like Deoxys-S, Hisuian Electrode, Azelf, and Walking Wake, so it should be run either with a secondary special wall or on more offensive teams that limit opposing wallbreakers. Investing in Defense is also an option, allowing Manaphy to switch into threats like Chien-Pao, Barraskewda, and Cinderace and pivot out while using Assault Vest to function as a mixed wall.
