Nature Modest (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
EV Spread HP 252 / Sp. Atk 252 / Sp.Def 4
Final Stat Values HP 220 / Def 140 / Sp. Atk 205 / Sp.Def 86 / Spe 72
Ability Mind's Eye
Tera Type Pokemon Fairy Type Icon
Held Item Assault Vest
Moveset Blood Moon
Moonblast
Earth Power
Vacuum Wave

Bloodmoon Ursaluna naturally has great HP and Defense stats, so this build gives it an Assault Vest to increase its overall bulk.

Since the Assault Vest prevents it from using any status moves, Bloodmoon Ursasluna's moveset is full of offensive moves.

Blood Moon and Earth Power are its strongest STAB moves and Moonblast is its main coverage move that does more damage when it is Terastallized into Fairy. Lastly, Vacuum Wave gives Bloodmoon Ursaluna a +1 priority move to help finish off low HP opponents.

Moveset Ivy Cudgel

Swords Dance
Encore

Cornerstone Ogerpon fills a unique niche of being a strong Rock-type attacker. This is important because of all the Fire and Flying-types in the current meta.

With its ability Sturdy, Cornerstone Ogerpon works a great lead to set up for a quick Swords Dance sweep or to stop opposing hazard and setup leads by using Encore.

This build prioritizes improving Scizor's HP and Defense to help it tank hits better and get a Swords Dance Attack boost off comfortably.

Once boosted, Scizor can pressure knockouts with +1 priority STAB Bullet Punches and Technician boosted Dual Wingbeats.

If Scizor is put in a bad matchup, it also has the option to switch out while dealing damage with a STAB U-Turn.

EV Spread HP 4 / Sp. Atk 252 / Spe 252

Ability Protosynthesis
Tera Type Pokemon Fairy Type Icon
Held Item Booster Energy
Moveset Moonblast
Shadow Ball
Mystical Fire
Calm Mind

Speed Booster Flutter Mane is the fastest Pokemon in the current meta, and with its amazing offensive coverage, it is also one of the scariest attackers in the game.

Against more passive opponents, it also has the option to use Calm Mind to boost its damage output, making it an even more threatening sweeper.

Rocky Helmet Dragonite Moveset & Best Build

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Dragonite Image

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

Dragonite is one of the best Pokemon right now because of its ability Multiscale halving any damage taken while it is at full health.

Dragonite also has strong coverage moves in Earthquake and Tera Flying Tera Blast. If an opposing Pokemon is at low health, Extreme Speed is nearly guaranteed to knock it out first thanks to its +2 priority being able to outspeed other priority moves.

Finally, Dragonite can use Roost to heal back half of its max HP. If it is healed back to full, then Multiscale will be active again.

Rapid-Strike Urshifu Moveset & Best Build

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

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

This Rapid-Strike Urshifu is built bulkier than most other sets and it can surprise opponents by knocking them out when they expect to knock out Urshifu instead. It can also bypass moves like Protect and Spiky Shield thanks to its ability Unseen Fist.

Its moves are the standard STAB Surging Strikes and Close Combat, along with +1 priority Aqua Jet to knock out low HP opponents and U-Turn to get Urshifu out of bad matchups.

Punching Glove makes Surging Strikes a non-contact move, preventing Urshifu from taking damage from items and abilities like Rocky Helmet and Rough Skin.

Do note that while holding a Punching Glove, Surging Strikes will no longer bypass protection moves because it is no longer considered a contact move for the purposes of Unseen Fist. Close Combat, Aqua Jet and U-Turn will still work though since they are not affected by Punching Glove.

These three Pokemon all have offensive boosting moves that are great against more passive leads. Cornerstone Ogerpon also has the bonus of being able to lock the opponent into the last move they used with Encore.

The idea is that you would want to remove any threats for your last Pokemon to ensure that they have a safe late game sweep.

Pokemon like Urshifu and Dragonite are harder to OHKO with their bulkier EV spread so they can survive hits and get a knockout in return while Flutter Mane can get quick knockouts before the opponent can even respond.

Preserve for Strong Endgame

Keep your strongest Pokemon alive for an endgame sweep. Flutter Mane and Urshifu are both amazing attackers that can easily finish off the enemy's team while Bloodmoon Ursaluna's bulk and offense can get knockouts without taking a dangerous amount of damage in return.

Cornerstone Ogerpon can be used to either get a quick knockout, set up for a Swords Dance sweep, or cripple the opposing lead by using Encore.

Flutter Mane can then be used to get knockouts and remove any threats for Bloodmoon Ursaluna in the back.

With the threats to Bloodmoon Ursaluna gone, it will be in a safe spot to get massive damage off without taking that much damage in return.
