Strategy Overview

Dark

Swords Dance and Sucker Punch, allow Bisharp to be an effective and powerful setup sweeper, as well as a revenge killer that targets frail and fast threats such as Dragapult. Knock Off lets Bisharp remove items such as Leftovers from Ferrothorn, Choice Scarf from Ditto, and Eviolite from Porygon2. Bisharp's Steel typing comes in very handy for Dark teams, as it grants a neutrality to Fairy and allows Bisharp to take on slower Fairy-types like Clefable with Iron Head. Bisharp relies on Sucker Punch to make up for its low Speed stat, but there are threats that can OHKO Bisharp without fearing Sucker Punch such as Tapu Koko and Hydreigon.
