Keldeo @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Secret Sword
- Vacuum Wave
- Icy Wind / Surf

As a musketeer, Choice Specs Keldeo has deadly technique, giving it a special spot on Water teams! Fittingly for a member of the Swords of Justice, its Fighting typing gives Water teams an edge in the Dark matchup, vanquishing the likes of Kingambit and Sableye. Hydro Pump and Secret Sword are incredible STAB options that threaten foes both physically and specially, like Hisuian Goodra, Articuno, Corviknight, and Archaludon. Vacuum Wave is a great priority option that picks off weakened sweepers such as Meowscarada, Kyurem, and Chien-Pao. Icy Wind allows Keldeo to heroically defeat ferocious Dragon-types like Garchomp and Dragonite, while Surf is a very accurate STAB move that guarantees OHKOs against Hippowdon and Ursaluna-B. Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott threatens Choice Scarf Gholdengo, Dragapult, Latios, and Galarian Slowking while setting up hazards. Swampert provides an Electric immunity, entry hazard support, and safe entry via Flip Turn. Greninja and Ogerpon-W make for good teammates, both checking Toxapex. In addition, Greninja deals with the Ogerpon formes, while Ogerpon-W removes Clodsire.

As a musketeer, Choice Specs Keldeo's technique is deadly and filled with variety, giving it a special spot on Water teams! Fittingly for a member of the Swords of Justice, its ability Justified along with its Fighting typing give Water teams an edge in the Dark matchup, vanquishing the likes of Kingambit, Sableye, and non-Choice Scarf Hoopa-U. Hydro Pump and Sacred Sword are incredible STAB options on Keldeo that allow it to threaten foes both physically and specially like Hisuian Goodra, Moltres, Corviknight, and Archaludon. Vacuum Vaccum Wave is a great priority option that allows it to pick off weakened sweepers such as Meowscarada, Kyurem and Chien-Pao. Icy Wind allows Keldeo to heroically defeat ferocious Dragon-types like Garchomp and Dragonite, while Surf is a very accurate STAB that allows it to guarantee OHKOs against Hippowdon and Ursaluna-B. Pelipper is a great teammate for Keldeo, setting up rain to boost Keldeo's Water STAB (Honestly mention what mons it take out while under rain, notably ohkoing physically defensive Corviknight and unboosted hatterene with Pump.) and removing Grass-types like Amoonguss and Hydrapple (Keldeo kos Hydrapple with Icy Wind.) with Hurricane. Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott threatens Ghost and Psychic-types like Choice Scarf Gholdengo, Dragapult, Latios, and Galarian Slowking while setting up hazards. Gastrodon and Swampert provide entry hazard support and an immunity against Electric-types. Additionally, Swampert is able to pivot Keldeo in with Flip Turn.
QC 1/1 Great writing!

As a musketeer, Choice Specs Keldeo has deadly technique, giving it a special spot on Water teams! Fittingly for a member of the Swords of Justice, its ability Justified along with its (notice it runs all special attack--does the ability actually get used? unless i'm missing something I would just cut it out) Fighting typing gives Water teams an edge in the Dark matchup, vanquishing the likes of Kingambit, Sableye, and non-Choice Scarf Hoopa-U. Hydro Pump and Secret Sacred Sword are incredible STAB options that threaten foes both physically and specially, (ac) like Hisuian Goodra, Moltres, Corviknight, and Archaludon. Vacuum Wave is a great priority option that allows it to picks off weakened sweepers such as Meowscarada, Kyurem, and Chien-Pao. Icy Wind allows Keldeo to heroically defeat ferocious Dragon-types like Garchomp and Dragonite, while Surf is a very accurate STAB move that allows it to guarantees OHKOs against Hippowdon and Ursaluna-B. Pelipper is a great teammate, (ac) as it removes Amoonguss with Hurricane, and it sets up rain to boost Keldeo's Water STAB Hydro Pump to remove OHKO (avoids repetition) unboosted Hatterene and physically defensive Corviknight with Hydro Pump. Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott threatens Choice Scarf Gholdengo, Dragapult, Latios, and Galarian Slowking while setting up hazards. Swampert provides an Electric immunity, entry hazard support, and safe entry via Flip Turn.
Will probably switch this with gouging fire's spot to go out on the first week of April, thanks for doing it quickly
