VGCPL Champion
Flutter Mane @ Booster Energy
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 160 HP / 60 Def / 36 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Shadow Ball
- Icy Wind
- Protect
- Icy Wind, in combination with Booster Energy for Speed, lets Flutter Mane become a devilish support option. Deceptively hard to take down thanks to its great Special Defense, solid defensive typing, and untouchable speed, Flutter Mane can often sit on the field for many turns disrupting the opponent's gameplan.
- Moonblast is a powerful STAB move that nails targets such as Chien-Pao, Iron Hands, and Raging Bolt for a super effective hit. Shadow Ball hits opposing Flutter Mane and Gholdengo while providing neutral coverage into targets such as Heatran and Glimmora.
- While Icy Wind's supportive capabilities are often the draw of this set, Flutter Mane is still a powerful late-game cleaner with its sky-high Special Attack and blistering Speed. If the opponent has Prankster Tailwind, often coming from Tornadus or Whimsicott, preserving Flutter Mane until opposing speed control has been dealt with may be appreciated.
- The EV spread survives Life Orb Expanding Force from Deoxys-A in Psychic Terrain and Tera Grass Rillaboom Grassy Glide. Maximum Speed investment speed ties other Flutter Mane while outspeeding Gholdengo and Kingdra in Tailwind and Rain, respectively.
- Tera Fairy powers up Moonblast, extending its reach to pick off weakened opponents. Tera Fairy also has the defensive benefit of resisting Sucker Punch from Kingambit and Chien-Pao, making Flutter Mane significantly more difficult to take off the field.
- The strongest partners for this set take advantage of Icy Wind and make up for the lack of immediate offensive output compared to other Flutter Mane sets. Landorus can outspeed opposing Flutter Mane and Ogerpon-Wellspring with Icy Wind support, threatening massive damage with Earth Power or Sludge Bomb, while taking out Fire-types such as Heatran and Volcanion for Flutter Mane. Paired with this set, Choice Specs Chi-Yu can more easily unleash nuclear Heat Waves on the opponent, while both threatening Rillaboom and Amoonguss as well as boosting Flutter Mane's damage with Beads of Ruin.
