Togetic Movesets & Competitive Sets

Moves This set allows Togetic to function as an entry hazard remover as well as an overall support Pokemon depending on its last move. Seismic Toss allows Togetic to damage foes consistently, chipping away 100 HP with each hit. Dazzling Gleam, on the other hand, isn't as consistent but is a good STAB attack that allows Togetic to effectively KO Dragon- and Fighting-types, among others. Roost allows Togetic to reliably recover HP, which is essential for any wall. Defog removes entry hazards from the field, making it a good support move, as it prevents Togetic and its teammates from being worn down by Stealth Rock and other entry hazards. Heal Bell allows Togetic to act as a cleric, removing status from itself as well as its teammates. Thunder Wave slows down opposing Pokemon, making it a good move to stop sweepers from doing their job. Lastly, Togetic can put sweepers and defensive Pokemon alike on timers with the use of Toxic. Set Details 248 HP EVs are used to maximize overall bulk while letting Togetic take less damage from Stealth Rock. 252 Special Defense EVs and a Calm nature are used to ensure maximized special bulk. An alternate EV spread of 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD can be used with a Bold nature instead to deal with the numerous Fighting-types in the tier better. Serene Grace is the chosen ability, as Hustle lowers the accuracy of Seismic Toss and Super Luck is incompatible with Defog. Eviolite boosts Togetic's defenses by 50%. Usage Tips Should the listed spread be used, send Togetic in against special attackers it walls, such as Mega Sceptile and non-Iron Tail Hydreigon, and take advantage of them by either crippling them or supporting Togetic's teammates. However, if the alternate EV spread is used, be sure to send Togetic in against Fighting-types it can wall, such as Heracross and Machamp, and take advantage of them, but be wary of super effective coverage moves they tend to carry. Should Togetic and its teammates need entry hazards removed, try to use Defog as soon as possible. Team Options Physical walls, such as Gligar and Suicune, make for good partners if the listed EV spread is in use, as they can wall the various physical attackers that threaten Togetic. Should the alternative EV spread be used, however, special walls, such as Blissey and Snorlax, make for optimal partners, as they can deal with the special attackers that trouble Togetic. Pokemon that appreciate entry hazard removal, such as Moltres and Fletchinder, value Togetic as a teammate. Bulky Steel-types, such as Forretress and Mega Aggron, make for good teammates, as they resist or are immune to four of the types Togetic is weak to, namely Ice, Rock, Steel, and Poison.

Moves Nasty Plot is used to boost Togetic's Special Attack so it can then Baton Pass the boosts to another teammate that can put them to better use Dazzling Gleam hits Dark-, Dragon-, and Fighting-types for good damage and is a reliable STAB attack that can be boosted by Nasty Plot Roost is used for reliable recovery Baton Pass is used to pass Nasty Plot boosts and can also be used to pivot into a teammate to gain momentum If Togetic is used as a sweeper however, Fire Blast helps round out coverage vs Steel-types that would normally switch in on Dazzling Gleam Set Details Investing in Speed is not at all recommended, since Togetic will still be outpaced by all other Speed-investing sweepers Instead, maximizing HP and Defense investment makes Togetic a great check to Pokemon like Gurdurr and Dragonair, and allows it to set up on weaker physical threats If Fire Blast is ran instead of Baton Pass, allocate the EVs in Defense to Special Attack Another EV spread is to make Togetic as slow as possible with a Relaxed Nature; this makes its Baton Passes extremely slow, ensuring that the recipient will not be damaged upon switching in Usage Tips Switch Togetic into the Pokemon it checks, such as Dragonair and Gurdurr, and proceed to boost with Nasty Plot Once you're set up, you can Baton Pass those boosts to another teammate, making them extremely strong, or proceed to break the opponent Team Options Recipients that can abuse the boosts Togetic passes, such as Electabuzz, Frogadier, and even offensive Porygon2, make for great partners to this set Hazard removal of your own is appreciated so Togetic isn't stripped of 25% of its health when switching into Stealth Rock As with the defensive set, checks to Electric-types, such as Gabite and Piloswine, and checks to Ice-types, like Monferno, make for good partners Checks to Poison-types like Duosion are also helpful, as Togetic struggles with those Pokemon

Moves Defog is used to remove hazards and support hazard-weak teammates Roost is essential for reliable recovery, making Togetic a more reliable wall to the attackers it should check Dazzling Gleam is STAB, hitting Dragon-, Dark-, and Fighting-types super effectively Heal Bell can be used to make Togetic into a cleric, removing status and further supporting its team Thunder Wave is also an option to cripple switch-ins like Golbat and set-up sweepers like Dragon Dance Fraxure Set Details Max HP and Defense investment with a Bold Nature make Togetic as physically bulky as possible Serene Grace is used, as Super Luck is incompatible with Defog A specially defensive spread with a Calm Nature can be used to make Togetic a better check to Pokemon like Sliggoo; however, Togetic's typing makes it a better physical than special wall Usage Tips Togetic can essentially be absentmindedly thrown at the Pokemon it checks, such as Fraxure and Gurdurr It can then either Defog hazards away, Roost if it's taken some damage, attack, or use other supporting moves Team Options Porygon2 helps form an excellent defensive core with Togetic, because both of them are good defensive Pokemon and Porygon2 appreciates Togetic checking Fighting-types, while Togetic enjoys Porygon2 checking most special attackers Checks to Electric-types such as Piloswine can also appreciate Togetic checking Fighting-types and most other physical attackers Ice-type checks like Prinplup and Seadra help Togetic with its weakness to Ice moves Slower Pokemon that appreciate Thunder Wave support from Togetic such as Rhydon are good partners for Togetic

Togetic's main goal is to use Follow Me to draw attention away from its partner. Tri Attack provides Togetic with an offensive option; while it might not do much damage, it has an attractive 40% chance of causing a random status effect due to Serene Grace. Thunder Wave allows Togetic to cripple targets with paralysis, providing an opportunity for its ally to attack. Alternatively, Tailwind may be used as a method of boosting your teammates' Speed in battle. Either Roost or Protect should be used in Togetic's final moveslot. Roost allows Togetic to heal itself so as to last longer as a support Pokemon. Protect blocks oncoming attacks, which can be helpful if the opponent becomes too focused on trying to take Togetic out. The EVs allow Togetic to survive an Electric Gem-boosted Thunderbolt from a Modest Zapdos. The remainder of the EVs are placed into Defense to give it a bit more physical bulk. As Togetic's offense is quite lackluster, you can opt to replace Tri Attack with another support move, such as Charm or Light Screen. Alternatively, Togetic can use Heat Wave over Tri Attack as it hits both targets and has a 20% chance to burn the opponent. This is especially handy if Togetic is run on a Trick Room team, as Tri Attack might paralyze the foe, which is counterproductive. Likewise, Tailwind or Thunder Wave should be replaced if Togetic is run on a Trick Room team. Pokemon that require a bit of setup to become a serious threat, such as Volcarona, Snorlax, and Gorebyss, appreciate the free turns Togetic's Follow Me can buy them. Likewise, Trick Room users such as Reuniclus and Chandelure have a much easier time twisting the dimensions with Togetic's Follow Me support. Unfortunately, Togetic's low Speed means that it is outrun by just about every single Fake Out user there is. As it is unable to redirect the opponent's Fake Out, one must still be wary of opposing Fake Out users when using Togetic.
