Moveset e set competitivi di Comfey

Rest has more PP than Synthesis, always fully restores Comfey's HP, and synergizes well with Natural Cure. However, the move virtually forces Comfey to switch out upon use lest it be totally helpless, thus offering foes free turns. 16 Speed EVs let Comfey outrun Modest Magneton. Since Comfey is walled by Steel- and Poison-types like Togedemaru and Garbodor, Pokemon like Charizard and Galarian Articuno are great teammates. Charizard notably gains the ability to drop Defog thanks to Comfey and also appreciates it switching into Knock Off, while Galarian Articuno benefits a lot from the pivoting support that Comfey provides. Pokemon that are especially vulnerable to Dark- and Fighting-types, such as Jellicent, Doublade, and Sneasel, like having Comfey to fall back on against such threats and can help make up for its passivity. Wish support from the likes of Togedemaru and Audino helps Comfey remain healthy without quickly burning through Synthesis's limited PP. These Pokemon also form a good defensive core with Comfey, switching into irksome foes like Ribombee for it. Comfey can potentially run either Aromatherapy or Toxic instead of Defog to act as a cleric or punish switch-ins like Charizard, respectively; however, such a tradeoff requires dedicating another teamslot to entry hazard removal and takes away from this set's main niche.

Stored Power nails Poison-types like Weezing, prevents Charizard and non-Haze Quagsire from walling Comfey, and hits special walls like Audino harder than Draining Kiss with enough boosts. Aromatherapy keeps Comfey and its teammates from being ruined by status, while Taunt completely shuts down slow walls like Wishiwashi and Eldegoss. Giga Drain is a niche option over Stored Power that hits harder under Grassy Terrain, threatens Gigalith, and still destroys Quagsire. Stored Power provides better coverage and tends to be more devastating, though. With 64 Speed EVs, Comfey outspeeds Jolly Sandslash. Thwackey is a required partner, immediately setting Grassy Terrain for Comfey upon switch-in. Thwackey also shares a number of checks with Comfey, mainly Poison- and Steel-types, and can weaken them for it with Knock Off and U-turn. Comfey can't deal meaningful damage to Steel-types such as Doublade and Ferroseed, so Pokemon like Thievul and Hitmonlee are valuable teammates to have. These Pokemon also more immediately threaten foes like Gigalith and appreciate Comfey annoying walls like Audino and Quagsire. Coalossal can support Comfey by both setting and removing entry hazards and taking hits from foes like Charizard and Togedemaru.

Moves Draining Kiss gives Comfey a priority STAB move that lets it hit Fighting-types such as Passimian and Medicham for super effective damage. Giga Drain gives it an option to hit bulky Water-types like Slowking and Vaporeon and Stealth Rock setters like Rhydon and Piloswine. Calm Mind helps it boost its power and bulk to clean up more easily late-game or potentially break more efficiently mid-game. Hidden Power Ground hits Poison- and Fire-types like Garbodor, Incineroar, Magmortar, and Delphox super effectively while still hitting all relevant Steel-types other than Ferroseed for super effective damage. Hidden Power Fire gives Comfey a way to damage Steel-types like Steelix, Ferroseed, and Silvally-Steel for super effective damage while giving Comfey a way to damage bulky Poison-types such as Garbodor and Weezing as well as Dhelmise. Hidden Power Psychic lets Comfey pose a greater threat to Poison-types. Set Details 20 Speed EVs allow Comfey to outspeed maximum Speed Jolly Incineroar, while maximum Special Attack investment and a Modest nature make it as powerful as possible. The leftover EVs are pumped into HP to help Comfey set up more easily and potentially use its good defensive typing in a pinch. Life Orb boosts Comfey's generally lackluster damage output to help its offensive prowess. Triage helps it revenge kill faster attackers with Draining Kiss or Giga Drain. Usage Tips Use Comfey as a revenge killer for certain setup sweepers like Scrafty and Samurott and Choice Scarf users like Passimian. Weaken its answers early-game by using Hidden Power on turns where you predict a Steel-type to come in. Try to have a teammate badly poison Pokemon that can potentially trouble Comfey with Toxic. Comfey can occasionally come in on Choice-locked Pokemon like Sneasel and Passimian. However, Comfey should not be switched into attacks recklessly, as that can hinder it from setting up later in the game. Set up Calm Mind late-game to break through Comfey's weakened checks and counters; without doing so, removing walls like Cryogonal and Torterra becomes impossible. Team Options A Spikes setter such as Ferroseed or Garbodor helps weaken the opposing team further for Comfey to have an easier time cleaning. Both also help defensively against Poison-types, while Ferroseed acts as a switch-in to Steel-types. Choice Scarf Passimian serves as a reliable check to Swords Dance Incineroar, which otherwise comfortably takes advantage of Comfey. It can also potentially gain momentum to get Comfey in safely on different Fighting-type switch-ins. Pokemon that pressure Steel-types, such as Sigilyph, Mega Glalie, and Sceptile, help weaken Comfey's answers for an easier late-game sweep. Comfey appreciates answers to common Poison-types like Garbodor and Weezing if lacking a super effective Hidden Power; Steelix deals with Garbodor well, while Palossand can deal with both. Pursuit trappers such as Aerodactyl and Sneasel are also great partners for Comfey, as they are able to remove Delphox, one of Comfey's best checks.
