NU Sirfetch'd

[S1nn0hC0nfirm3d]

Sirfetch’d @ Leek
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Knock Off
- First Impression
- Brave Bird / Steel Wing

When holding a Leek, Sirfetch'd has a 50% chance to land critical hits, allowing it to match the power of its Choice Band set and break through Mudsdale while not being Choice-locked. Sirfetch'd may also follow up First Impression with coverage like Knock Off and Brave Bird, but ultimately, the unreliable critical hit odds may hinder its wallbreaking potential. Steel Wing can be used over Brave Bird to OHKO Diancie and more reliably 2HKO Sylveon. On VoltTurn teams, specially offensive pivots like Rotom-C, Dragalge, and Heliolisk bring in Sirfetch'd against Pokemon like Copperajah and Guzzlord. Fire-types like Talonflame and Salazzle are a concern to Sirfetch'd, so add checks like Vaporeon and Diancie. Vaporeon also offers pivoting, while Diancie's Stealth Rock makes Knock Off from Sirfetch'd more punishing against Flying-types.

• You can leave out Jolly
• Steel Wing deserves a mention hitting Sylveon and Diancie, maybe over Poison Jab?
• It ignores Mudsdale trying to check it with Stamina
