Munkidori Rental Team Summary and Rental Code

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - Munkidori Singles Rental Team
Rental Code G96LGR

This is a hyper offense team full of strong special and physical attackers. When using this team, it's best to prioritize choosing Pokemon that have a good type match-up against the Pokemon on your opponent's team.

Munkidori Rental Team Movesets & Best Builds

Assault Vest Munkidori Moveset & Best Build

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Munkidori Image

Nature Modest (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
EV Spread 252 HP / 36 Def / 116 Sp. Atk /100 Sp. Def / 4 Spe
Final Stat Values 195 HP / 91 Def / 181 Sp. Atk / 123 Sp. Def / 127 Spe
Ability Toxic Chain
Tera Type Pokemon Grass Type Icon
Held Item Assault Vest
Moveset ・ Shadow Ball
・ Future Sight
・ Tera Blast
・ Sludge Bomb

Munkidori is a strong Special Attacker that was newly introduced in the Teal Mask DLC. As a strong Psychic Type, Munkidori's Future Sight does incredible damage to any Pokemon not immune to the move. Do note that the move will only hit two turns after it is used.

Sludge Bomb is an excellent STAB move to rely on, while Shadow Ball and Tera Blast are helpful coverage moves to use against Pokemon that may resist Munkidori's STAB moves.

With an Assault Vest and a good base Special Defense stat, Munkidori can comfortably take all manner of Special Attacks. However, you may want to be more careful around Physical Attackers.

Munkidori Movesets and Best Builds

Rocky Helmet Dragonite Moveset & Best Build

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Dragonite Image

Nature Adamant (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
EV Spread 244 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 4 Sp. Def / 4 Spe
Final Stat Values 197 HP / 204 Atk / 116 Def / 121 Sp. Def / 101 Spe
Ability Multiscale
Tera Type Pokemon Normal Type Icon
Held Item Rocky Helmet
Moveset ・ Roost
・ Encore
・ Extreme Speed
・ Earthquake

This Dragonite build is very bulky, with most of its EVs in its HP and Attack stats, and it's a good defensive pivot. Its Multiscale ability halves the damage it takes as long as Dragonite's HP is full, which it can replenish using Roost.

Dragonite holds the Rocky Helmet item, so that any Attackers that make contact with Dragonite get damaged as well.

Extreme Speed and Earthquake are Dragonite's two offensive moves. Extreme Speed's damage can be further boosted by Terastallizing into the Normal Type, giving Dragonite a strong +2 priority STAB move.

Dragonite Movesets and Best Builds

Calm Mind Flutter Mane Moveset & Best Build

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Flutter Mane Image

Nature Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
EV Spread 4 HP / 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Spe
Final Stat Values 131 HP / 75 Def / 187 Sp. Atk / 155 Sp. Def / 205 Spe
Ability Protosynthesis
Tera Type Pokemon Fairy Type Icon
Held Item Booster Energy
Moveset ・ Calm Mind
・ Moonblast
・ Shadow Ball
・ Mystical Fire

This fast Flutter Mane gets a Speed boost from its Booster Energy and Protosynthesis ability, which allows it to move first a majority of the time.

If it isn't immediately threatened by the opposing Pokemon, it can set up using Calm Mind to further increase its damage output. For the most part, you'll want to attack using Moonblast or Shadow Ball. You can deal even more damage with Moonblast if you Terastallize.

Against Grass Types and Special Attackers, you may want to use Mystical Fire, a Fire-type move that lowers the target's Special Attack.

Flutter Mane Movesets and Best Builds

Focus Sash Chien-Pao Moveset & Best Build

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Chien-Pao Image

Nature Jolly (+Spe, -Sp. Atk)
EV Spread 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Final Stat Values 155 HP / 172 Atk / 101 Def / 85 Sp. Def / 205 Spe
Ability Sword of Ruin
Tera Type Pokemon Electric Type Icon
Held Item Focus Sash
Moveset ・ Icicle Crash
・ Crunch
・ Sucker Punch
・ Tera Blast

This Chien-Pao build is fast and offensive but relatively frail. It holds a Focus Sash to be able to take at least two hits.

You can Terastallize offensively to hit Water Types with Tera Blast or you can Terastallize defensively to remove Chien-Pao's weaknesses.

Chien-Pao Movesets and Best Builds

Choice Scarf Gholdengo Moveset & Best Build

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Gholdengo Image

Nature Modest (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
EV Spread 164 HP / 4 Def / 180 Sp. Atk / 4 Sp. Def / 156 Spe
Final Stat Values 183 HP / 116 Def / 193 Sp. Atk / 112 Sp. Def / 124 Spe
Ability Good as Gold
Tera Type Pokemon Water Type Icon
Held Item Choice Scarf
Moveset ・ Trick
・ Thunderbolt
・ Make It Rain
・ Shadow Ball

With the Choice Scarf item, you can expect this Gholdengo to consistently move first. Gholdengo can deal a lot of damage with Make It Rain, but it also has access to Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball if you don't want to reduce its Special Attack stat.

You can use Trick to give the Choice Scarf to your opponent, allowing them to become stuck using just one move. This is especially good to use on support-oriented Pokemon.

Gholdengo Movesets and Best Builds

Punching Glove Rapid-Strike Urshifu Moveset & Best Build

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style Image

Nature Adamant (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
EV Spread 108 HP / 132 Atk / 172 Def / 52 Sp. Def / 44 Spe
Final Stat Values 189 HP / 183 Atk / 142 Def / 87 Sp. Def / 123 Spe
Ability Unseen Fist
Tera Type Pokemon Water Type Icon
Held Item Punching Glove
Moveset ・ Aqua Jet
・ Surging Strikes
・ Close Combat
・ Swords Dance

The Punching Glove item boosts the power of Rapid-Strike Urshifu's Surging Strikes. It also prevents it from taking damage from an opponent's Rocky Helmet or a Pokemon with the Rough Skin ability.

Take note that the Punching Glove negates Urshifu's Unseen Fist ability, so its moves can no longer go through Protect.

If you feel stuck on which three to bring, Munkidori, Dragonite, and Flutter Mane are usually good choices. They provide good offensive and defensive coverage.

Munkidori and Flutter Mane can overwhelm opponents with their Special Attacks, and they can take Special Attacks in turn. Dragonite can switch into Attacks the others cannot take.
