Build Notes

Araquanid is the primary physical sweeper under Trick Room. Water Bubble doubles Liquidation's power, making it one of the most punishing water attacks in the format. Brave nature with maximum HP and Attack investment maximizes damage while zero Speed investment keeps it as slow as possible for Trick Room benefit. Mystic Water further amplifies Liquidation, pressuring nearly any non-resistant target. Wide Guard shuts down the spread Rock Slides and Earthquakes that threaten the team's fragile supports. Skitter Smack drops opponent Special Attack, helping Bastiodon survive longer under sustained damage. Rest provides emergency recovery when team Life Dew healing falls short.
