Fast Tailwind support

Whimsicott

◢Grass✹Fairy

Focus Sash

The demonstration did not show Follow Me, but this is still an important field-control pick. U-turn can become High Horsepower if you need the coverage.

Bulky disruption support

Whimsicott

◢Grass✹Fairy

Sitrus Berry

The source notes that physical bulk still does not cover every Mega Salamence line. If special bulk is more important, Fake Tears can become Light Screen.

Screens support

Grimmsnarl

◒Dark✹Fairy

Focus Band

A standard screens Grimmsnarl. It appears in many boosted teams, and Spirit Break remains the usual attacking move.

Trick Room sun attacker

Torkoal

▲Fire

Charcoal

The forever first-room attacker. If you play Trick Room, Charcoal or a stronger special item line keeps the Fire pressure high.

Trick Room setter

Hatterene

✦Psychic✹Fairy

Twisted Spoon

An important Trick Room setter and attacker, but it must be paired with Indeedee. Without that partner, the plan is much harder to play.

Terrain and redirection support

Indeedee

✦Psychic●Normal

Sitrus Berry

If Indeedee exists in the game, it is an extremely important field setter. Every Expanding Force user wants it, unless you choose a slower nature to avoid speed ties.

Field control pivot

Rillaboom

◢Grass

Miracle Seed

The source treats Rillaboom as a very important field setter. It is almost always a Fake Out and pivot configuration, with High Horsepower as a possible replacement.

Fake Out pivot

Incineroar

▲Fire◒Dark

Black Glasses

A near-perfect four-attack support Incineroar. If Knock Off is unavailable, Darkest Lariat or another Dark attack can replace it.

Bulky Fake Out pivot

Incineroar

▲Fire◒Dark

Sitrus Berry

Common items are defensive ones, and the source recommends preparing several variants. More bulk is better when you are not relying on Knock Off.

Rage Powder support

Volcarona

✣Bug▲Fire

Silver Powder

Volcarona can boost itself, and Bug Buzz can be replaced by another coverage move for specific matchups. The first Quiver Dance uses the listed Speed line.

Supportive Fire redirection

Volcarona

✣Bug▲Fire

Charcoal

This support Volcarona leans into bulk, Tailwind, and Rage Powder. It still needs enough Speed to pass modest Fire benchmarks after Tailwind.

Trick Room redirection

Amoonguss

◢Grass☣Poison

Sitrus Berry

Amoonguss only differs by effort values. Max HP, then invest physical bulk for physical sets or special bulk for special sets; run a slow nature to reverse Trick Room.
