Moveset e set competitivi di Sliggoo

Hisuian Sliggoo's excellent typing, offenses, bulk, and high-powered STAB moves allow it to be a fantastic wall, trading away immediate Speed and potential power in exchange for greater longevity. Acid Spray discourages bulkier walls like Dunsparce and Duosion from staying in on it, which pairs well with Flash Cannon's consistent damage output. Draco Meteor and either Flash Cannon or Thunderbolt, on the other hand, shift Hisuian Sliggoo's role to that of a tank, heavily threatening out most of the metagame and dealing significant damage to Water-types like Quaxwell and Wartortle. While Gooey is discourages physical attackers like Thwackey and Fraxure from staying in on it, Sap Sipper allows it to block Leech Seed from Ivysaur and be even more effective against Grass-types like Servine and Thwackey. A Calm nature and a spread of 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD makes it an extremely durable special wall, while a Modest nature and a spread of 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD maximizes its offensive power. This Hisuian Sliggoo set is able to fit on both balance and bulkier builds. Even with increased bulk, it still remains very vulnerable to Fighting-types like Monferno, Scraggy, and Pignite, so checks to them like Seadra, Quaxwell, and Fletchinder are appreciated; the first also covers Hisuian Sliggoo's weaknesses to Ground-types like Piloswine and Krokorok and Fire-types like Monferno and Pignite, while the last provides entry hazard removal to address Hisuian Sliggoo's vulnerability to Spikes. In return, Hisuian Sliggoo can cover for Seadra and Quaxwell's weaknesses to Grass-types and Fletchinder's weakness to Water- and Electric-types. With its reliance on RestTalk for recovery, it remains susceptible to being worn down by residual damage, so hazard deterrents like Quaxwell and Hattrem can preserve its longevity. Offensive partners like Wartortle, Monferno, and Thwackey all appreciate Hisuian Sliggoo covering their weaknesses; the latter two can also provide Knock Off and U-turn support to form offensive cores. While Hisuian Sliggoo beats Tinkatuff in the long run, it hates being paralyzed and getting its Eviolite removed by Knock Off. Switch-ins to Tinkatuff like Piloswine and Gabite are greatly appreciated to absorb Thunder Wave, threaten it away with their STAB moves, and set up Stealth Rock to generate progress. In return, Hisuian Sliggoo can defend against Grass-types with Sap Sipper and cover teammates like Wartortle and Krokrorok that would struggle against them.

Hisuian Sliggoo's good power, excellent defensive typing, and bulk make it one of the most frightening tanks to face off against. Thunderbolt rattles Quaxwell that may consider weathering Draco Meteor, while Ice Beam threatens popular Grass-types like Ivysaur, Servine, and Thwackey. Acid Spray discourages walls like Dunsparce and Duosion from staying in on it, enabling it to continue threatening the metagame with its attacks. While all of Hisuian Sliggoo's abilities are situational, Gooey stands out for discouraging Thwackey and Fraxure from staying in on it, while Sap Sipper blocks Leech Seed users like Ivysaur and Servine. The Speed EVs enable it to outrun uninvested Piloswine. Offensive Hisuian Sliggoo works best on balanced and bulky offensive teams, pairing up with teammates that appreciate its defensive and offensive profile. Water-types like Quaxwell and Frogadier pair well with it, with the former providing Rapid Spin support and a defensive answer to Fire-types and Piloswine and the latter offering Spikes and speed control; both offer pivoting. Other entry hazard deterrents like Fletchinder and Hattrem not only ward off hazards set against Hisuian Sliggoo, but both also spread status and provide a backbone against Fighting-types like Monferno and Pignite. Other wallbreakers and setup sweepers in need of Hisuian Sliggoo's wallbreaking capabilties, like Fraxure, Wartortle, and Thwackey, appreciate it softening walls like Duosion and Tinkatuff. Teammates like Piloswine and Wartotle appreciate Hisuian Sliggoo for taking on Grass-types like Thwackey, Ivysaur, and Servine, while physical walls like Koffing and Quilladin likewise appreciate it for taking on special attackers like Girafarig, Drakloak, and Wartortle. While Hisuian Sliggoo beats Tinkatuff in the long run, the combination of its typing, Knock Off, Encore, and Thunder Wave can frustrate its breaking capabilities, so checks to it like Gabite and Krokorok can force it out and set up Stealth Rock against it; the latter can also use its own Knock Off to initiate progress.
