Brute Bonnet

Brute Bonnet is a menacing attacker in ZU thanks to a laundry list of highly useful offensive attributes. Brute Bonnet's STAB combination hits much of the tier for neutral damage. STAB Sucker Punch allows Brute Bonnet to cleave through weakened offensive teams late-game, and Synthesis in conjunction with its solid bulk makes Brute Bonnet difficult to chip down. Brute Bonnet is also capable of boosting its already high Attack stat with Booster Energy, making it a potent wincon, or by utilizing a Choice Band set, which turns it into a devastating wallbreaker. However, Brute Bonnet is burdened with a poor defensive typing, as it is weak to common Fighting-, Bug-, Ice-, and Poison-type attacks. Its poor Speed tier also leaves it very reliant on Sucker Punch to reliably threaten offensive teams, and they often carry Fighting-, Dark-, or Fairy-types that resist it. Brute Bonnet is capable of using Terastallization to circumvent these issues; however, this makes the standard offensive set Tera-dependent in many matchups. The Choice Band set can also be taken advantage of, as Brute Bonnet's STAB combination can be played around with common Pokemon that fit on both offensive and bulkier team styles, such as Dipplin, Virizion, and Charizard.
