UU Keldeo

:ss/Keldeo:

Keldeo @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Secret Sword
- Scald
- Icy Wind / Air Slash

This Sword of Justice is making large waves in UU! Keldeo is a powerful wallbreaker with its Choice Specs set, muscling past common staples like Hippowdon, Chansey, and Skarmory with its powerful STAB move combination. Furthermore, it has an excellent Speed tier, pressuring the likes of Zarude, Thundurus-T, and Nihilego, and also has the benefit of resisting Bullet Punch from Scizor. Scald is used for reliable damage on the likes of Moltres and Excadrill without risking a Hydro Pump miss. Icy Wind OHKOes Salamence and hits Grass-types like Tangrowth and Amoonguss super effectively, though Air Slash is an alternative option for more significant damage against the aformentioned Grass-types. Keldeo best fits on bulky offense and VoltTurn teams that give it many entry opportunities to fire off attacks. Scizor is a phenomenal partner, pressuring switch-ins to Keldeo like Slowking and Assault Vest Tangrowth while also luring in Moltres and Rotom-H for Keldeo. Nihilego helps set Stealth Rock to wear down Assault Vest Tangrowth and can check Salamence. SubToxic Aegislash appreciates Keldeo handling Zarude and Chansey and can wear down Primarina and Amoonguss for it.

I would give more emphasis on the benefits of its speed tier + resistances to actually serve as a powerful offensive check to stuff like zarude, thundy, sciz etc here too imo, though the stuff you have here is good and worth mentioning too. Scald is used for more reliable damage on the likes of Moltres and Excadrill without risking a Hydro Pump miss. no idea what the character count is like so you might not be able to fit it but if you do have space i think mentioning burn chip adding up on regen grasses being a nice bonus too. Icy Wind OHKOs Salamence and hits Grass-types like Tangrowth and Amoonguss super-effectively, though Air Slash is an alternative option for stronger damage on the aforementioned Grass-types at the cost of OHKOing Salamence. Would probably just slash it at this point if you are going to mention it honestly. Keldeo best fits on bulky offense and Voltturn teams that give it many entry opportunities to fire off attacks. Scizor is a phenomenal partner, removing switch-ins to Keldeo like Slowking and Assault Vest Tangrowth while also luring in Moltres and Rotom-H for Keldeo. dno that it really removes slowking considering slowking comfortably chews hits but it does at least pressure a weakened one. Nihilego helps set Stealth Rock to wear down Assault Vest Tangrowth and can check Salamence. SubToxic Aegislash appreciates Keldeo handling Zarude and Chansey and can wear down Primarina and Amoonguss for it.
looks good qc 1/1.
