Moves
========
- Future Sight demolishes everything that isn't a Dark- or Steel-type (or Slowking), while also going through Protect and Substitute.
- Psychic packs less power than Future Sight but hits right away, allowing Reuniclus to clean up once the opposing team is weakened.
- Focus Blast covers Dark- and Steel-types, hitting them hard on the switch.
- Shadow Ball hits both Doublade and Spiritomb hard, and has decent neutral coverage overall.
- Trick can be used over any of the coverage moves, but this set already fares well enough against stall, to the point where extra measures are barely required.
========
- Standard EV spread, Special Attack offers the needed power to break through teams.
- HP makes Reuniclus a fine check against some Pokemon, such as Cobalion, as well as naturally beefier.
- Regenerator is chosen over Magic Guard because of this set's "hit and run" nature, which means it'll be switching in and out a lot, so Magic Guard's protection is not as useful as it is on other sets.
========
- This set has a very hit-and-run-ish nature, mostly coming in to use Future Sight and then switching out.
- It puts heavy amounts of pressure on stall teams, and with the proper teammates, it's not uncommon for it to put those teams on checkmate.
- It really benefits from surprise factor, but even after its set has been found out, it can still lure common switches and putting pressure on the opposition.
- Despite all of the perks it has, incorrect usage of Future Sight causes momentum losses (especially against teams with dark-types), so that should be taken into account when fitting it onto a team.
- Against offense, where Future Sight's utility is less required, it can still tank some hits and strike back with its Choice Specs-boosted moves.
========
- Pokemon that benefit from the holes Reuniclus punches through defensive teams in order to clean up, such as Sharpedo, as well as those who can scare away Psychic-types resists.
- Bulky Pokemon, especially those can force out Dark-types, such as Cobalion, since Reuniclus, despite its sheer power, causes big momentum losses (as mentioned previously) when using Future Sight.
- Spiritomb and Dugtrio can trap the opponent's main answers against Future Sight, such as Steel-types, Slowking, and Dark-types such as Drapion.
- It's self sufficient to the point of not requiring dedicated hazard removal, but due to the amount of pressure it puts, it goes really well with entry hazards of its own.
