HP : 360
Defense : 200
Sp.Atk. : 321
Sp.Def. : 344
Speed : 186
NPC Advantages: gardevoir (life dew) or bellibolt (light screen) required. drifblim (will-o-wisp) helps. fire-weak pokemon (arboliva, heracross, weavile, corviknight) are harmful.
Strategy: skill swap, tera blast, synthesis, wait for your stats to reset. synthesis when HP drops below 50%. 6x calm mind. 2x tera blast. terastalize, tera blast until shield breaks, optional attack cheer, tera blast to victory.
Notes : for the 4th move, light screen works best if you have an NPC gardevoir, and synthesis works best if you have an NPC bellibolt. psychic tera with stored power works too.
Pros: supereffective tera type. good HP stat, excellent special attack and special defense stats. outspeeds skeledirge when stat stages are equal. no weaknesses. resists flame charge and torch song after terastalizing. shell bell heals when attacking, an amount equal to 1/8th of damage dealt. calm mind buffs special attack 1 stage and special defense 1 stage. skill swap removes unaware from skeledirge, which causes skeledirge’s damage dealt to be lessened, and damage taken to be increased, by the buffs from calm mind. it also gives unaware to florges, causing skeledirge’s special attack buffs from torch song to be ignored. synthesis heals 50% of max HP. tera blast has 80 base power, 100 accuracy, and deals supereffective STAB damage when terastalized.
Cons: tera type mismatches base type, mediocre defense stat, outsped by skeledirge after it uses flame charge. can’t buff defense.
Can you do the most popular one Kyogre , I have seen someone gyrados or even Ogerpon, not sure if those 2 will be effective
Edit-I forgot to mention walking wake
I used Florges against Dirge a few times. It was Tera Psychic Stored Power and I actually waited until Dirge did the stat reset to even do the skill swap. 252 HP / 176 Spe / and either 80 in Spa or Def. Not sure it's better than the one within the video but it was fun to use.
