Ability: Poison Touch
EVs: 204 Atk / 180 SpD / 124 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Pursuit
- Knock Off
- Gunk Shot
- Fire Punch

Alolan Muk is one of UU's most effective Pursuit trappers, offering great support to sweepers like Suicune and Nasty Plot Infernape by removing threats to them like Mega Sceptile and Latias from play. Its moveset is optimized to grant it the most utility overall, but Poison Jab is an option over Gunk Shot for better accuracy, and Fire Blast with some Special Attack investment can be used to better deal with Cobalion. While Alolan Muk is somewhat bulky, it is quite slow and dislikes taking unnecessary damage, so packing VoltTurn users like Mega Manectric and Gliscor that bait in Pursuit-weak Pokemon is helpful in bringing Alolan Muk in safely. Do watch out for sets such as Substitute + Leech Seed Serperior and Groundium Z Celebi, though. Support from Healing Wish Latias and Wish Sylveon can also be provided to keep Alolan Muk healthy, as it is unable to take on sets like Dragonium Z Latias otherwise.

This looks perfect to me, but it might be worth considering putting some replays of Alolan Muk in action, if you have any, because some others have done this and it doesn't seem like a bad idea. Additionally, you could probably mention Poison Jab somewhere as an alternative to Gunk Shot. QC 1/1

(maybe explain why this is important, i.e something like needs hp to effectively pursuit trap or w/e)

nicely done

gp 1/1
