RU Swellow (RU)

Swellow @ Choice Specs
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Boomburst
- U-turn
- Heat Wave
- Air Slash / Hidden Power Grass

Swellow finds its place as a wallbreaker in RU with its blazing Speed, good Special Attack, and powerful STAB Boomburst, which it can spam freely thanks to its ability Scrappy letting it hit Ghost-types. Heat Wave provides fantastic coverage for Steel-types that resist Swellow's STAB attacks, while Air Slash is a great move to OHKO Virizion and Hidden Power Grass nails Rhyperior. U-turn provides momentum for the team, especially combined with Swellow's excellent Speed. Unfortunately, Swellow is extremely frail and carries little to no defensive value, being picked off by priority such as Zygarde-10%'s Extreme Speed and Mega Glalie's Ice Shard. Nonetheless, this boom-bird is boom-bursting straight into the scene of a dynamic RU tier!

Can mention HP Grass to nail Rhyperior but thats basically it, Swellow 4th move is a big filler that can be a lot of things but lets just mention hp grass for practical purposes.

Looking real good QC 1/1

Punchline can stay
