Kommandutan Movesets & Wettbewerbs-Sets

Moves Trick Room reverses the move order, allowing slower teammates to move first, giving valuable speed control to your team. Psychic is the strongest attack in Oranguru's moveset and should be used in situations where offense is needed and Instruct cannot be used. Instruct allows Oranguru's teammate to use a move twice per round, whether this is a powerful attack or a boosting move. Protect lets Oranguru avoid being KOed while its teammate eliminates a threat. Set Details Mental Herb is the item of choice to stop Taunt from interfering with Trick Room and Instruct. Inner Focus makes Oranguru immune to flinching, putting a stop to opposing Fake Out and Rock Slide. Telepathy makes Oranguru immune to its teammates' spread attacks, such as Earthquake, allowing the teammate to use them without worry. The EVs are designed with a Sassy nature to maximize bulk and minimize Speed, surviving Flare Blitz from maximum Attack Thick Club Alolan Marowak and also surviving unboosted Bug Buzz from maximum Special Attack Vikavolt. A Relaxed nature may be used instead if more Defense is needed, but this will make special attacks a bigger threat to Oranguru's longevity. The leftover EVs are thrown into Special Attack to strengthen Psychic, notably picking up an OHKO on minimum HP Salazzle. Usage Tips Oranguru is best used as a lead so that Trick Room can be set up immediately. Once your speed control is in place, Instruct should be used alongside an offensive teammate to maximize the five turns of Trick Room you have available. Protect keeps Oranguru healthy until it has the opportunity to set up Trick Room. Once Trick Room is set, it should be repeatedly using Instruct to keep offensive momentum. Team Options Any Pokemon with a low Speed tier and high offensive stats will function well with Trick Room. Alolan Muk, Alolan Marowak, Hariyama, Vikavolt, and Celesteela are a few examples. Hariyama is the premier Fake Out user in Trick Room teams. Special attention should also be paid to spread moves. When used in conjunction with Instruct, spread attacks will inflict high damage on both of your opponent's Pokemon. Gigalith, Drampa, and Torkoal are all excellent teammates for this reason. Lilligant is an excellent teammate to Torkoal thanks to Chlorophyll and After You. Outside of a hard Trick Room team, it can form a core with Oranguru and Torkoal.
