Thanks to its high Speed, unique typing, and powerful Electric-type STAB move in Double Shock, Pawmot sets itself apart as one of the premier wallbreakers in UU. Seed Bomb allows Pawmot to lure common checks such as Quagsire and Gastrodon and OHKO them handily. Alternatively, Ice Punch provides a solid middle ground against Ground- and Flying-types, in cases where losing Pawmot's Electric typing via Double Shock is not ideal, as well as allowing Pawmot to hit Brambleghast effectively, although this does require backup for Gastrodon and Quagsire. Natural Cure allows it to not worry about Talonflame's Flame Body and use Rest to improve its longevity, offsetting the damage from Life Orb and entry hazards. Tera Electric allows for Pawmot to continuously use Double Shock without switching out as well as increasing its power, making it even more difficult to handle. This also helps Pawmot's defensive matchup against threats such as Gardevoir, Noivern, and Brave Bird Talonflame; although, one should still be aware of losing important resistances to strong priority attacks such as Slither Wing's First Impression or Bisharp's Sucker Punch. Heavy-Duty Boots is also an option over Life Orb to preserve Pawmot's longevity.
Pawmot fits well on teams that benefit from its ability to handle common threats such as Tinkaton, Slowking, and Tyranitar by breaking through them with raw power, as well as offensive teams that appreciate its excellent Speed. Reliable hazard setters such as Tinkaton and Sandy Shocks are worth considering, as the chip damage they provide makes it even easier for Pawmot to break through defensive threats, with the former also boasting Encore to help generate free turns. Grass-types, such as Wo-Chien, Brambleghast, or Tsareena are also appreciated to handle Gastrodon and Quagsire, especially if Pawmot chooses Ice punch, with the latter two also offering reliable hazard removal. Rock-types such as Tyranitar or Lycanroc-D that handle Talonflame as well as other Flying-types such as Iron Jugulis and Noivern are also appreciated. Scream Tail is also a teammate worth considering, as it has access to Stealth Rock and Encore, as well as Wish to keep Pawmot healthy and Thunder Wave to cripple fast threats like Grafaiai and Gengar while also having a strong matchup against revenge killers such as Noivern and Iron Jugulis. Pawmot also appreciates teammates with pivoting moves, such as Scizor, Tsareena, Noivern, and Grafaiai, to allow it to come in safely, especially against targets such as Tinkaton or Slowking.
