Strategy Overview

Pheromosa is one of the fastest Pokemon in Ubers, only being outpaced by the niche Regieleki and a few Choice Scarf users. This makes Pheromosa a very good pivot, outspeeding Choice Specs Calyrex-S and having one of the strongest U-turns in the tier. It also has a wide variety of coverage options, making it extremely difficult to switch into. However, Pheromosa is exceptionally frail, with even some resisted hits threatening to OHKO it, and extremely reliant on correct predictions.
