Movesets et sets compétitifs de Kilowattrel

Set Details Thunder can be used on Kilowattrel on rain teams to allow it to hit even harder. Volt Switch allows Kilowattrel to not only do solid damage but also pivot out against common switch-ins like Cyclizar and Hisuian Goodra. U-turn allows Kilowattrel to pivot out while not being blocked by Ground-types, which works especially well with Spikes support. Weather Ball can also be used on rain teams to allow Kilowattrel to hit the Ground-types that usually wall it such as Rhyperior. Roost allows Kilowattrel to heal off chip damage it sustains over the course of a battle. Volt Absorb allows Kilowattrel to switch into other Electric-types such as Magnezone and Raikou and heal itself from them, while Competitive allows it to punish Defog from Talonflame and Noivern while also benefitting from Intimidate from foes like Krookodile, allowing it to 2HKO Pokemon such as Gastrodon and Raikou that it would otherwise struggle with. Tera Flying allows Hurricane to 2HKO Cyclizar, while Tera Water allows Kilowattrel to take Ice-type attacks from Pokemon such as Cetitan and boosts the power of Weather Ball in rain. Kilowattrel fits best on offense and bulky offense, able to leverage its good typing and Speed in order to pivot in and out of battles and take on Pokemon such as Krookodile and Yanmega. U-turn users such as Flamigo and Jirachi can form VoltTurn cores with Kilowattrel to chip defensive cores. Jirachi can also set Stealth Rock and paralyze foes with Body Slam to allow Kilowattrel to sweep easier. Entry hazard setters such as Krookodile and Chesnaught can pair very well with Kilowattrel, as not only can it make use of entry hazard chip damage to break through its checks easier, such as 2HKOing Cyclizar with Stealth Rock and a layer of Spikes, but with Competitive, it can also punish Defog from Pokemon such as Talonflame and Noivern. Entei pairs well with Kilowattrel, as it can lure in and burn Rhyperior with Sacred Fire and check Grass-types. In return, Kilowattrel can punish bulky Water-types such as Slowbro and Empoleon. Rain partners such as Politoed and Barraskewda pair well with Kilowattrel, as Politoed allows it to boost its Thunder and Weather Ball, while Barraskewda forms a nice VoltTurn core with it to pressure defensive switch-ins.

Kilowattrel is an essential component to Flying teams, providing an Electric immunity, pivot support, an excellent Speed tier that allows it to outspeed Choice Specs Greninja and Iron Valiant, and a range of hard-hitting attacks. With rain support, Thunder can be used as Kilowattrel's hard-hitting STAB attack to hit Pokemon—such as Toxapex—that Flying teams can struggle to take down. Thunderbolt is a fine substitute on Flying teams that do not utilize rain. Volt Switch allows Kilowattrel to pivot, making use of Kilowattrel's high Speed tier to get off damage while not being Choice locked. Hurricane couples with the preceding moves to cover Kilowattrel's STAB combination, specifically hitting Ground-types such as Quagsire and Gastrodon. The last slot depends on whether rain is being taken advantage of: on rain teams, Weather Ball can be used to hit Ground-types such as Unaware Clodsire, while Air Slash is another option for non-rain teams that can make up for Hurricane's lower accuracy. Choice Specs allows Kilowattrel to hit extremely hard, letting it OHKO Pokemon such as Azumarill with Volt Switch and Amoonguss with Hurricane. Volt Absorb provides the only Electric immunity for Flying-type teams. Corviknight is one of Kilowattrel's greatest assets; beyond providing a neutral switch-in to Ice-type attacks—especially in the cases of Chien-Pao and Choice Scarf Greninja—Corviknight provides a physical wall that Kilowattrel can pivot into. It is also Flying's most common Defogger, which is essential, as Kilowattrel is susceptible to Stealth Rock damage, hindering its pivoting. Pelipper is very useful in supporting Kilowattrel, as rain support ensures accuracy of Kilowattrel's Thunder and Hurricane, and U-turn on Pelipper ensures safe pivoting. Talonflame is another defensive supporter, covering Kilowattrel's weakness to Ice-types and offering another Defogger. Dragonite hits the specially defensive walls that Kilowattrel struggles with such as Clodsire and Blissey. Gyarados finds great support from Kilowattrel; as Kilowattrel punches holes in defensive Pokemon such as Amoonguss and Toxapex, Gyarados will have a better chance to sweep late-game. While Kilowattrel has excellent Speed itself, Choice Scarf users such as Flamigo and Salamence can revenge kill Pokemon such as Dragapult and Flutter Mane that outspeed Kilowattrel. Bombirdier offers Stealth Rock support and uses Knock Off to remove key items such as Leftovers on Gastrodon, which puts it into 2HKO range of Hurricane after Stealth Rock damage.
