The hero we deserve, but not the one we need! Sliggoo is a hard counter
mz edit: this is lure that threat not counter that threat... to the proposed set of Oricorio Pom-Pom. With a careful nature and Eviolite, Sliggoo can soak up any hit, even when boosted at +2:
+2 252 SpA Oricorio-Pom-Pom 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite Sliggoo: 115-136 (33.8 - 40%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Then, Sliggoo will proceed to steal Oricorio’s boosts with Spectral Theif, reversing the momentum immediately. Shore Up is for reliable recovery, and Sunsteel Strike is there to get past prevalent Unaware walls such as Bibarel and Cosmog. If Sliggoo has been chipped over the match, and cannot take 2 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolts, Lunar Dance is the emergency button, which will take down Oricorio as well due to copying Sliggoo’s Lunar Dance with it’s Dancer ability. Battle Armor is there so 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt cannot crit you through boosts.
