Strategy Overview
- Xurkitree is extremely powerful, especially with Electrium Z or under Electric Terrain.
- Beast Boost increases Xurkitree's Special Attack, making it even stronger when it gets KOs.
- Middling Speed and frailty make it easy to KO.
- It doesn't have a great movepool, consisting mostly of Electric-type moves, Energy Ball, and Hidden Power.
- Despite its power, it's not OHKOing neutral targets without a Beast Boost or Electric Terrain support, leaving it open to being revenge killed.
- Lightning Rod Pokemon are common and counter Xurkitree well.
- Xurkitree needs heavy team support, but with it it can be a monster.
