Movesets et sets compétitifs de Beautifly

Moves With Flash, Beautifly shows its ugly face to the foe, which lowers their accuracy and can scar them for life. Other than that, Beautifly can do nothing that Butterfree cannot, and it ends up getting KOed whenever the foe hits it. Morning Sun and Defog not only make Beautifly more annoying but also allow it to remove anything blocking its glance. Set Details Bright Powder makes Beautifly's face more visible, as well as making it much easier for the abomination to dodge the foe's attacks. Rivalry is the ability of choice because a Swarm of bugs would cover up Beautifly's face and get rid of its niche. Usage Tips While using Beautifly, the main objective is to scar a foe so much with its ugliness that the foe cannot hit it or its teammates, although the user has to be sure to not look into its eyes either. Team Options The best teammates for Beautifly are five Pokemon that you hope can take on the opposing team, as you will be at an extreme disadvantage by wasting a slot on it, or you can use even uglier Pokemon, such as Trubbish and Beheeyem, to make it look better by comparison.

Functioning as a late-game sweeper, Beautifly has the ability to clean up weakened teams with its great boosting move. Quiver Dance is a given, as Beautifly needs both the Speed and the Special Attack boost to clean up, and the Special Defense boost will help it set up against weaker special attackers, such as Alomomola carrying Scald, as well as Wartortle. After one Quiver Dance with a Timid nature, Beautifly outspeeds Zebstrika, Serperior, and Tauros. Bug Buzz is the main STAB move of choice, with good neutral coverage and a chance to lower the opponent's Special Defense. Hidden Power Ground hits the Steel-, Rock-, Poison-, and Fire-types that resist Bug Buzz. The last slot is given to Psychic, a reasonably powerful attack that hits levitating Poison-types, such as Weezing, and Fighting-types for super effective damage. As Beautifly is 4x weak to Stealth Rock, hazard control is essential for its survival. Good choices for partners are Torkoal and Wartortle, which can both provide a free switch-in for Beautifly with Yawn. Sawk can also be used to break through most Stealth Rock leads. Natu, on the other hand, can be used to reflect hazards, though compounding weaknesses means that it will be crucial to carry Pokemon that resist Rock-, Electric-, and Ice-type attacks. A slow U-turn, Volt Switch, or Baton Pass will also help bring Beautifly in unscathed. Ampharos, Eelektross, Probopass, and Musharna work well in this case. Beautifly hates very specially bulky Pokemon, such as Audino, Lickilicky, and Mandibuzz, so Choice Band Sawk and Primeape are good partners to take out Lickilicky with Close Combat and Mandibuzz with repeated Ice Punches. Entry hazards on the opponent's side of the field are necessary to make up for Beautifly's lack of sheer power. For example, at +1, Lickilicky and Audino are both cleanly 2HKOed after Stealth Rock and a layer of Spikes. Partners such as Garbodor and Golurk are good choices for this. Beautifly needs a Life Orb to have a chance to 2HKO Lickilicky and Audino after Stealth Rock and a Quiver Dance. However, if you can keep Stealth Rock off the field, Focus Sash is an option to guarantee a Quiver Dance boost against more offensively-oriented teams.

Boasting a usable base 90 Special Attack stat, Beautifly makes a decent user of a Life Orb or Choice item. The power or Speed boost from these items greatly assists Beautifly in dealing with her shortcomings. Bug Buzz is Beautifly's strongest attack, and after STAB and an item boost, it packs reasonable power. Hidden Power Ground damages Steel-types who otherwise wall Beautifly; however, it should be noted that Hidden Power won't be able to break through the omnipresent Registeel unless it has been severely weakened beforehand. Shadow Ball nails Ghost-types for decent damage, and is Beautifly's best bet against Flying-types such as Moltres. The last slot depends on your item choice. Stun Spore works alongside Life Orb, and is a fantastic option to cripple faster switch-ins. However, if you opt for a Choice item, then U-turn is the better option to scout the opposing team for Pokemon who resist Beautifly's attacks. While the EVs on this set are extremely simple and cookie-cutter for a special sweeper, choosing between a Timid or Modest nature can be difficult. Modest generally works well with both Life Orb and Choice Specs as they allow Beautifly to hit as hard as possible, while Timid goes with Choice Scarf to allow Beautifly to outspeed max Speed Base 120s. However, Timid is still a reasonable option alongside Choice Specs or Life Orb to nail some Pokemon, such as neutral-natured Blaziken, before they can KO Beautifly with a super effective attack. Because this variant of Beautifly will be worn down quickly from switching into Stealth Rock, Rapid Spinners are useful to preserve Beautifly's health. Hitmontop and Donphan are great partners, since they can both deal with common spinblockers in the UU metagame. Beautifly also enjoys entry hazards of her own since they allow her to reach some 2HKOs and OHKOs. Pokemon who can abuse U-turn are also useful; since Beautifly is so frail, U-turn assists Beautifly by potentially giving her a free switch-in. Swellow, Scyther, and Uxie are good users of the move, the first two packing a strong U-turn to weaken walls with, and the last having bulk and a potentially low Speed stat to get Beautifly in unharmed. However, if you use Swellow or Scyther, it should be noted that you're compounding your team's weakness to Stealth Rock, making one of the aforementioned Rapid Spinners a necessity. Additionally, Beautifly is troubled by special walls such as Chansey and Registeel, so strong Fighting-types can also be good partners.

Bug-types tend to suck and Beautifly is no exception-actually, it's the third worst Bug-type Pokemon after Shuckle and Beautifly's cousin Dustox. Stun Spore something and, if you aren't dead, use Substitute until your opponent switches or is fully paralyzed or you can't use it anymore. If your opponent switches, Stun Spore the next Pokemon; otherwise, attack. This set dies pretty easily but it's the best thing Beautifly can do.
