Movimientos y sets competitivos de Litwick

Moves Fire Blast is the most powerful move on the set when backed by STAB and Life Orb. Shadow Ball gives Litwick good coverage alongside Fire Blast and is boosted by STAB. Trick Room can be set up on Pokemon that don't threaten Litwick, such as Ferroseed. Energy Ball rounds out Litwick's coverage, hitting the Water- and Rock-types that resist Fire Blast for super effective damage. Hidden Power Ground is an option to hit Houndour on the switch while still doing reasonable damage to Chinchou. Memento allows Litwick to heavily cripple something if it's about to go down or Trick Room is about to end, allowing another Trick Room setter or a setup sweeper to come in and set up. Set Details Litwick's Special Attack is maximized so that it hits as hard as possible. The rest of the EVs give Litwick some bulk. 0 Speed IVs and a Quiet nature minimize Litwick's Speed, which is ideal for a Trick Room sweeper. If using Hidden Power Ground, the IV spread must be changed to 31 / 31 / 31 / 30 / 30 / 1 and the EV spread to 116 HP / 76 Def / 240 SpA to account for the drop in IVs. Life Orb gives Litwick's moves much-needed power. Flash Fire gives Litwick more switch-in opportunities and powers up its Fire Blast when it's hit by a Fire-type move. Infiltrator can also be used to hit through Substitute and ensure Litwick isn't walled by Trace Porygon. Usage Tips Litwick should generally only set up Trick Room on Pokemon that don't threaten it, such as Ferroseed and Spritzee. Use Fire Blast against anything that doesn't resist it. However, be careful if you see a potential Flash Fire user on the opposing team. Be cautious of opposing Sucker Punch users, as it still has priority in Trick Room and can hit Litwick for massive damage. Team Options Litwick goes well with bulky teammates that can set up Trick Room, such as Porygon, Slowpoke, and Spritzee. Teammates that can set up entry hazards help Litwick get KOs it otherwise wouldn't. Ferroseed makes a particularly good partner, as it covers many of Litwick's weaknesses and can bait Fire-type attacks that Litwick can take advantage of. Since Litwick is weak to Stealth Rock and vulnerable to all hazards, Rapid Spin or Defog support from the likes of Drilbur, Vullaby, and Archen is appreciated. Fighting-types such as Timburr and Mienfoo pair well with Litwick since they can break through many of Litwick's checks and counters, such as Houndour, Munchlax, Pawniard, and Porygon. Finally, trappers such as Trapinch and Diglett are good teammates, as they can trap and beat Pokemon such as Ponyta and Houndour for Litwick. Trapinch functions better under Trick Room, while Diglett works well without Trick Room.

Litwick's good Special Attack and low Speed make it a great sweeper on a Trick Room team. Fire Blast is Litwick's most powerful STAB move, dealing massive damage to anything that doesn't resist it. Shadow Ball has very good coverage alongside Fire Blast, and perfect accuracy. Hidden Power Ground is used in the third moveslot, since it allows Litwick to hit Chinchou and Houndour for super effective damage. In the last slot, Energy Ball is the best option if Litwick's teammates are providing Trick Room, as it hits Water-types, most of which can take a Shadow Ball. Trick Room could be set up by Litwick itself if it can come in on something threatened such as Ferroseed, though it is very unreliable because of Litwick's frailty. Stunky is a huge problem for Litwick, being able to use Sucker Punch or Pursuit to put Litwick into a checkmate situation. Trapinch can trap Stunky in Trick Room, and while Cubone can't trap it, it forces Stunky's team to think long and hard about what to switch in due to its incredible power. Slowpoke, Porygon, and Bronzor make good teammates for Litwick to set up Trick Room, freeing Litwick to use four attacks instead of having to set the effect up by itself. Ferroseed's low Speed lets it work well in Trick Room; it also has amazing synergy with Litwick, allowing it to be a solid defensive teammate. It also works well with Slowpoke as a makeshift defensive core for a Trick Room team. Solosis can sweep alongside Litwick, as the two can weaken each other's counters. Lastly, Tentacool is a good teammate for its decent synergy outside of a shared Ground-type weakness; it can also set up useful Toxic Spikes that wear down defensive Pokemon such as Munchlax and Frillish.
