Choice Scarf needs to be played as a revenge killer or as a cleaner. Choice Specs is great if you want to force something you check out to another Pokemon (which if played right, can do some obscene damage). Choice Specs is great for teams who struggle with fat walls disrupting their sweepers, and Choice Scarf is great if you already have a wallbreaker. The choice between Choice Specs and Choice Scarf is crucial. This great neutral coverage is why Choice items are so great on Winotinger. Trick is standard for Choice users: It's great for crippling opposing walls. There aren't many choices in this set, since the combination of Moonblast, Aura Sphere and Hidden Power Ground covers everything in the metagame. Nasty Plot is chosen for better damage, but if you feel like Calm Mind suits your playstyle better, go for it.Įveryone expects Winotinger to use a boosting move, so utilizing Choice items is a fantastic way to catch your opponent off guard.
Everything else in the game is hit for super effective damage by Hidden Power Ground. They hit hard, they hit reliably, and they hit most things for neutral damage. Moonblast and Aura Sphere are there for a great STAB combination. This set is designed for 1 thing and 1 thing only: Set up and sweep. Finally, Taunt allows Winotinger to become a fantastic stallbreaker. Toxic is also an option, which allows Winotinger to cripple another bulky sweeper like Syrentide-M that may want to switch in on it.
Thunder Wave is the best option, crippling many of it's checks like Chimaconda, and helps Winotinger support the team. This gives it ample oppurtunity to either set up or cripple the opposition. From the amount of options available for the fourth slot, you see how versatile Winotinger really is. Moonblast and Aura Sphere are both easy choices: They provide almost perfect neutral coverage, only missing out on Poison-types, Antarki and Chimaconda. Due to Winotinger's typing and ability, it can force out many defensive Pokemon to set up. This set allows Winotinger to act as a supportive Pokemon while also serving as the team's win condition. It's definitely a Jackdeary of All Trades. That being said, many teams could use a Winotinger as a sweeper or stallbreaker. Without coverage moves, Winotinger is completely shut down by Antarki and Chimaconda (who can sweep a team if you let it set up), and without supportive moves, it loses a part of it's niche. The big bunny needs to run both STABs and Calm Mind/Nasty Plot to make it more offensively threatening, but it wants access to coverage moves as well as supportive moves. These options give Winotinger a surprising amount of versatility. However, what's more impressive is it's supportive movepool that can be used, like Taunt, Toxic and Thunder Wave. Winotinger is an extremely versatile Pokemon. Stat wise, Winotinger is nothing to write home about, but its upsides certainly make up for it. Winotinger gets access to an impressive offensive movepool: Moonblast, Aura Sphere, Hidden Power Ground, Dark Pulse, Thunerbolt, and Psycho Cut are all viable coverage options.
