ZU [SS] Boltund [QC 1/1] [GP 1/1]

[BaitWiz]

[OVERVIEW]
Boltund struggles due to an inability to make progress against common Ground-type Pokemon and Tangela, often forcing its team into an effective five versus six. Use Morpeko instead if you're looking for a physically offensive Electric-type pivot.

[SET COMMENTS]
Boltund aims to use its excellent Speed to revenge kill foes and clean weakened teams with its Strong Jaw boosted STAB and coverage options. However, it finds itself frequently lacking in power and is laughably easy to switch into with some of the most common Pokemon in the tier like Rhydon and Tangela; furthermore, it often gets chipped down rapidly by both Life Orb and hazards. Use Morpeko instead, which boasts stronger STAB options and marginally better defensive utility through its resistances and immunities.

[OVERVIEW]
Boltund is a weak and frail Pokemon that often requires opponents to be unreasonably low HP to make progress and is completely useless before it attempts to do so, often forcing its team into a 5v6. This is quite inaccurate, Boltund being frail isnt reallt relevant and it is not even that weak. The issue with Boltund is its inability to make progress against Tangela and being unable to damage the most common groundtypes. Use Morpeko instead if you're looking for a physically offensive Electric-type pivot Pokemon, or Rotom if you're looking for an Electric-type pivot.

Boltund aims to use its excellent speed to revenge kill opponents and clean weakened teams with its Strong Jaw boosted STAB and coverage options. However, it finds itself often lacking in power and is laughably easy to revenge kill with common scarfers like Sawk and strong priority from the likes of Thwackey it is not laughably easy to revenge kill because it is faster than everything unboosted. However it is laughably easy to switch into it with some of the most common pokemon in the tier and it gets weakened pretty quickly from lo + hazard. Use Morpeko or Rotom instead, which boast stronger STAB options and marginally better defensive utility through their resistances and immunities. rotom is not comparable to boltund, ss zu doesnt have anything really comparable to boltund as a naturally fast offensive pivot.

[OVERVIEW]
Boltund struggles due to an inability to make progress against common Ground-type Pokemon and Tangela, often forcing its team into a 5v6 an effective five versus six. (if you meant that Boltund usually faints due to this, forcing a literal 5v6 rather than it just being deadweight most of the time, I'd clarify this by instead changing it to "Tangela, often causing it to quickly faint.") Use Morpeko instead if you're looking for a physically offensive Electric-type pivot.
