Ability: Dancer
EVs: 248 HP / 228 Def / 32 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hurricane
- Revelation Dance
- Calm Mind
- Roost
Oricorio Pom-Pom is able to resist Gurdurrs drain punch and takes minimal damage from knock off due to holding flyinium-z. In return, Pom-Pom takes advantage of Gurdurr as set-up fodder with calm mind, or just threaten it out with hurricane or supersonic skystrike. It's able to do this throughout the course of the game, even with stealth rocks up, since Gurdurr gives Pom-Pom a relatively free roost.
