RU Sigilyph

[Ashbala]

Sigilyph @ Flame Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Air Slash
- Psycho Shift
- Roost

With Magic Guard protecting it from passive damage, Sigilyph has solidified its place in the RU metagame. Calm Mind allows Sigilyph to 2HKO/OHKO Incineroar, Vileplume, and Roserade with Air Slash. Psycho Shift allows Flame Orb Sigilyph to cripple physical attackers such as Flygon, Metagross and Cobalion. Roost helps maintain Sigilyph's longevity in the face of powerful Pokemon such as Metagross and Steelix. Bewear helps Sigilyph punch through Dark-types like Umbreon and Obstagoon, as well as Steelix. Rhyperior is another potent ally, dealing with Incineroar specifically while Sigilyph takes care of Grass-types such as Vileplume and Roserade.

Sigilyph @ Flame Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Air Slash
- Psycho Shift
- Roost

With Magic Guard protecting it from passive damage, Sigilyph has solidified its role in the RU metagame. (what. magic guard is a tool, a factor, NOT a role) Calm Mind allows Sigilyph to boost its already good Special Attack to high levels, allowing it to 2HKO/OHKO (vague for no reason) Incineroar, Vileplume, and Roserade with Air Slash. Psycho Shift allows Flame Orb Sigilyph to cripple physical attackers such as Flygon, Metagross and Cobalion thanks to the burn from its Flame Orb while Sigilyph itself takes no damage from it, making it bulky on both sides of the spectrum. (overexplaining, and "spreading burns = bulky" is a stretch) Roost helps maintain Sigilyph's longevity in the face of powerful Pokemon such as Metagross and Steelix. Bewear helps Sigilyph punch through Dark-types like Umbreon, Steelix, and Obstagoon. Rhyperior is another potent ally, (comma) dealing which helps deal with Incineroar specifically while Sigilyph in return takes care of Grass-types such as Vileplume and Roserade.

checks implemented and all good thx

Ashbala CryoGyro : Is this normal that Steelix is listed at the end among Dark-types ? Like I get that Bewear helps vs both Steelix and Dark-types but would not that be better to separate them instead of putting Steelix between 2 actual Dark-types ?
