Kartana

Kartana is one of the tier's most potent wallbreakers thanks to its titanic Attack and a Speed tier that allows it to outspeed a significant portion of the unboosted metagame. Beast Boost compounds Kartana's offensive capabilities, letting it take advantage of weakened foes to get Attack boosts and tear through opposing teams. Swords Dance and Choice Band sets let it threaten even switch-ins like Zapdos and Corviknight, while Choice Scarf sets utilize its already-high Speed to make it a threatening revenge killer and late-game sweeper. Despite its huge offensive presence, Kartana is extremely frail, especially specially, making finding opportunities to set up a potential challenge and requiring pivot support, since it shouldn't be switching into attacks. Additionally, Choice Band and Choice Scarf sets are vulnerable to being punished by contact-based abilities like Ferrothorn's Iron Barbs, Heatran's Flame Body, and Zapdos's Static, all of which have the ability to severely hinder Kartana's wallbreaking capabilities.
