Alcremie

Alcremie is a defensive Fairy-type that can check strong Fighting-types such as Sawk and Gallade. Alcremie has some advantages over the other Fairy-types in the tier, distinguishing itself from Aromatisse with its combination of Calm Mind + Recover and from Ribombee with its better bulk and pure Fairy typing. Alcremie also learns Mystical Fire, which allows it to threaten Steel-types such as Doublade more effectively than its competition. Additionally, Alcremie's ability Aroma Veil makes it particularly difficult to stop after one or two Calm Mind boosts, as it can't be afflicted by Taunt or Encore from the likes of Jellicent and Whimsicott. However, Ribombee is usually a better choice due to its much higher Speed, while Aromatisse is bulkier overall.
