Hisuian Decidueye Movesets & Competitive Sets

When equipped with a Choice Scarf, Hisuian Decidueye is a threatening physical attacker and cleaner thanks to its unique traits of a good STAB combination, an incredibly spammable STAB move in Triple Arrows, and a great ability in Scrappy. U-turn allows Hisuian Decidueye to pivot out of awkward matchups like defensive Florges, Uxie, and Galarian Slowbro and keep up momentum as it revenge kills Psychic-types like Bruxish and Espeon. Leaf Blade is a useful secondary STAB move that pressures Grass-weak physical walls like Rhydon, Mudsdale, and Milotic. Brave Bird is useful to target Amoonguss, opposing Hisuian Decidueye, and Paldean Tauros-F, while Close Combat 2HKOes Rotom-H and OHKOes Brute Bonnet. Tera Fighting boosts the power of Triple Arrows and Close Combat to great levels, allowing Hisuian Decidueye to 2HKO Rhydon and Arcanine and OHKO Frosmoth and Dudunsparce with Triple Arrows. While strong, Hisuian Decidueye can struggle to deal with a few threats that resist its STAB moves such as Galarian Slowbro, Galarian Articuno, and Delphox, so checks to these threats such as Rhydon, Rotom-H, and Goodra are good partners to have. Even with a Choice Scarf, some threats such as Salazzle, Sneasel, and Floatzel still outspeed Hisuian Decidueye, so having switch-ins to these threats such as Coalossal and Milotic are useful to have. Hisuian Decidueye's ability to wear down common switch-ins to it such as Uxie and Mudsdale can help enable partners also checked by these walls, such as Bruxish, Grimmsnarl, and Ambipom. Hisuian Decidueye can often have difficulty to get onto the battlefield safely due to its many weaknesses, so slower pivots such as Frosmoth and Bombirdier can help bring it in safely while forming a strong VoltTurn core with Hisuian Decidueye. Hisuian Decidueye enjoys support from entry hazard control from the likes of Alolan Sandslash and Cramorant, as Hisuian Decidueye is easily worn down from entry hazards as a pivot.
