Thanks to its fabulous mustache and unique defensive profile, this PU Pokemon has recently made a name for itself in RU due to its ability to stave off some of the tier’s top threats such as Volcanion, Suicune, Cosmic Power Metagross, and Swords Dance Cobalion. Heavy-Duty Boots gives Jellicent more opportunities to switch in and check the aforementioned threats without getting overwhelmed by entry hazards. Taunt grants it stallbreaking potential by stopping Reuniclus's setup and healing attempts, Umbreon's cleric duties, Registeel's status moves, and, with the given Speed EVs, Mantine’s Defog. Jellicent’s inability to threaten Obstagoon and Incineroar can be covered by teammates such as Galarian Weezing and Diancie, while Umbreon and Guzzlord help check Chandelure and Polteageist. Diancie and Umbreon additionally provide Heal Bell support, removing Toxic from Jellicent that otherwise greatly limits its longevity. In return, all of them appreciate Jellicent consistently dealing with Metagross, Cobalion, and Lucario. Lastly, Celebi can help check Xurkitree and Raikou, while Jellicent covers Darmanitan and Golisopod in return.
