Whimsicott

Whimsicott's Prankster Tailwind and lightning-fast playstyle make it a perfect choice for hyper offense teams, particularly those featuring Calyrex-S as a Restricted Pokemon. Due to the combination of Prankster and its high base Speed of 116, Whimsicott is the most reliable Tailwind setter in the metagame, making it a crucial pick for those that rely on moving first. It also comes armed with a bevy of support moves which allow it to fill all kinds of niches that very specific teams or cores may require, like fast Taunt, Sunny Day, or even the dreaded Switcheroo + Eject Button combo to disrupt opposing Dynamax users. Its Fairy-type attacks also pressure Dark-types like Yveltal and Grimmsnarl that are often used to counter Calyrex-S. However, Whimsicott does have glaring flaws; first and foremost, fast Tailwind is utterly ruined if the opponent is able to set up Trick Room. It also has to worry about being stopped in its tracks by Fake Out. Whimsicott's offensive presence is generally middling, so it relies on the power of partners like Calyrex-S, Kyogre, Kartana, and Regieleki to deal damage, often supported by its Helping Hand. This is a double-edged sword, however, as if its partner goes down during the turn, both it and its partner's efforts are effectively wasted.
