Larvesta

Larvesta has all the tools to be a bulky pivot. It has access to two excellent STAB moves in U-turn and Flare Blitz, allowing it to pivot and hit hard. It can utilize these moves with its good Attack stat and great ability in Flame Body, which allows it to switch in on and pressure physical attackers. It can also come in easily on threats like Mienfoo, Pawniard, Snivy, and Snubbull. Additionally, reliable recovery in Morning Sun strengthens its role and increases its longevity. However, Larvesta has a few devastating flaws; namely, it is 4x weak to Stealth Rock and Rock-type coverage, such as Diglett's Rock Slide and Mienfoo's Stone Edge. It is also weak to common types like Flying and Water. It faces competition as a physical Fire-type from Ponyta, which is faster and less weak to Stealth Rock. Larvesta needs entry hazard removal to function, as otherwise it becomes dead weight. Finally, it rests at an awkward Speed tier and is unable to outspeed many of its foes, namely Doduo and Staryu.
