Strategy Overview

Hawlucha stands as a good late-game cleaner on hyper offense or dual screens teams thanks to the combination of Swords Dance, Unburden, and its powerful STAB combination. When Unburden is activated, Hawlucha turns into a fearsome cleaner because of its unparalleled Speed tier, which allows it to outpace all Pokemon in the metagame and makes it hard to revenge kill without priority. However, Hawlucha is frail, even with the Defense boost provided by its Terrain Seed, so it can only set up on Pokemon that it can force out or take a hit from, like Kartana. It also has problems with breaking through some common walls like Toxapex, Slowbro, and Skarmory, even after a Swords Dance boost, and it can get heavily crippled by status or chip damage. Lastly, Hawlucha heavily relies on its teammates and their survival to accomplish its role, meaning it will be dead weight until late-game.
