Sharpness is Kleavor's best Ability, which increases the damage of slicing moves. This will increase the damage of its Stone Axe, X-Scissor and Night Slash significantly.

Stone Axe is Kleavor's signature move, and it is also a powerful STAB option. With Sharpness, it is almost as strong as Stone Edge, with the added benefit of setting up Stealth Rock.
X-Scissor is Kleavor's secondary STAB, which gets a Sharpness boost as well.
Night Slash is boosted by Sharpness, and can severely damage Dark-weak Pokemon.
And lastly, Close Combat is a way to damage Steel-types who may otherwise wall Kleavor's other moves.

Teammates that have means for Speed Control can often help Kleavor contribute offensively longer. Moves like Icy Wind, Tailwind, or Trick Room are often good options to have.
Kleavor has access to a good selection of slicing moves that can get a boost from Sharpness. Pick and choose which best suits Kleavor for your team!
Sharpness Effect and List of Slicing Moves
Kleavor appreciates teammates that can help it against Pokemon that wall it or outspeed it. Quick and powerful teammates are good to have, making Kleavor a good Pokemon to slot into offense-oriented teams.
Special Attacker | Physical Attacker | Special Attacker |
---|---|---|
Iron Bundle | Kleavor | Chi-Yu |
Iron Bundle can handily take care of Water-types that may threaten Kleavor using its Freeze-Dry Attack. Chi-Yu, the team's late-game sweeper, can take care of Steel-types for Kleavor.
Kleavor can enjoy the middle position, and enter mid-battle after a teammate has been KOd. This way, it won't be in danger of taking an attack upon switching in.
Physical Attacker | Physical Attacker |
---|---|
Kleavor | Lycanroc (Midday Form) |
Physical Attacker | Support / Redirection |
Tyranitar | Gastrodon (East Sea) |
Kleavor and Lycanroc make for solid leads, with either of the two having the option to swap into Tyranitar to give a Special Defense boost to the other. Additionally, Lycanroc gets a Speed boost thanks to Sand Rush. Kleavor in Sandstorm will give it an additional boost to its Special Defense, along with the boost it gets from Assault Vest.
Gastrodon is a solid addition to this team, as it can redirect Water-type Attacks away from its teammates and be a nuisance with Yawn.
Kleavor is easy to outspeed, with common threats to it often being faster or having access to priority attacks. Water-types like Dondozo often have enough physical bulk to shrug off Kleavor's offense.

---|---|
Dondozo | Ranking: ★★★★★
・Can tank Kleavor's offense and OHKO with a Water-type Move. ▶️Dondozo Best Movesets |
Iron Bundle | Ranking: ★★★★

Palafin | Ranking: ★★★★
