[SET COMMENTS]
Pixilate Scream Tail uses its excellent bulk and Speed to set up Calm Minds while the power of Pixilate Boomburst makes up for its lackluster Special Attack stat. Wish and Protect provides Scream Tail with longevity and excellent defensive utility to a team, allowing it to help check threats like Galarian Zapdos and Garchomp, as well as scouting a Choiced attackers. It can also opt to beat more of its checks with coverage, Psychic 2HKOes Iron Moth and Toxapex at +1 and Focus Blast OHKOes Kingambit and 2HKOes non-RegenVest Iron Treads at +1. Scream Tail struggles to break through common Fire-types like Magic Guard Heatran, Hisuian Arcanine, and Iron Moth without coverage and appreciates teammates like Goodra, Primordial Sea Zapdos, and Well-Baked Body Iron Treads switching into these threats. The latter two can also pivot Scream Tail in on their switchins like Garchomp and Corviknight. Scream Tail also struggles against Unaware Pokemon like Cresselia and Scream Tail, as such, teammates like Dragon Tail Hisuian Goodra, Toxapex, and Alolan Muk are appreciated to force them to switch out.

@Theia really loves the specs variant :wow:

Scream Tail @ Leftovers / Choice Specs
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Boomburst
- Calm Mind
- Wish / Psychic / Psyshock psychic is inferior tbh, only actually hits pex while Psyshock has the 50/50 to OHKO moth and you actually do decent dmg to bliss. you could probably consider booting psychic
- Protect / Focus Blast

Pixilate Scream Tail uses its excellent bulk and Speed to set up Calm Minds while the power of Pixilate Boomburst makes up for its lackluster Special Attack stat. Wish and Protect helps provides it doesn't actually help per say, it is the longevity Scream Tail's with longevity and provide excellent defensive utility to a team, helping check threats like Galarian Zapdos and Chien-Pao as well as scouting a Choiced revenge killer. It can also opt to beat more of its checks instantly with coverage, Psychic 2HKOes offensive Iron Moth and Toxapex at +1 and Focus Blast OHKOes Kingambit and 2HKOes Heatran at +1. this isnt worth the mention imo since heatran can click steel beam if it comes in on the cm. yes, steel beam doesnt ohko most of the time but if it doesnt ohko, stail is now very heavily chipped to the point of basically useless, stail would, and should, switch out here unless its desoland / ironpress tran, you might want to specify if so or completely remove it for another mention like non-Regenvest variants of Iron Treads. Scream Tail struggles to break through common Fire-types like Magic Guard Heatran, Ceruledge, and if lacking Psychic-type coverage, Iron Moth, and appreciates teammates like Goodra, Primordial Sea Zapdos, and Well-Baked Body Iron Treads switching into these threats. The latter two can also pivot Scream Tail in on their switchins like Garchomp and Corviknight. Scream Tail also struggles against Unaware Pokemon like Cresselia and Scream Tail, as such, teammates like Dragon Tail Hisuian Goodra, Toxapex, and Alolan Muk can force them to switch out.

Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Boomburst
- Calm Mind
- Wish / Psychic / Psyshock Psyshock should be slashed with psychic, you always 2HKO offensive iron moth without boosts and it is your best option against Clodsire, Blissey, and the rare Galarian Slowking, which Psychic notably hits physdef Pex and Fire types like Cinderace and Ceruledge, both moves have merit
- Protect / Focus Blast

Pixilate Scream Tail uses its excellent bulk and Speed to set up Calm Minds while the power of Pixilate Boomburst makes up for its lackluster Special Attack stat. Wish and Protect provides Scream Tail with longevity and excellent defensive utility to a team, allowing it to help check threats like Galarian Zapdos and Garchomp, as well as scouting a Choiced revenge killer attacker scouting choiced wallbreakers is also notable, it isn't a role exclusive to revenge killers. It can also opt to beat more of its checks instantly you still need set up for some of them, so it isn't really instantly with coverage, Psychic 2HKOes Iron Moth and Toxapex at +1 write about psyshock here and end the sentence and Focus Blast OHKOes Kingambit and 2HKOes non-RegenVest Iron Treads at +1. Scream Tail struggles to break through common Fire-types like Magic Guard Heatran, Ceruledge, none of your coverage beats ceruledge, while Heatran and Moth can be reliably dealt with with focus blast and psychic/psyshock respectively and Iron Moth without coverage and appreciates teammates like Goodra, Primordial Sea Zapdos, and Well-Baked Body Iron Treads switching into these threats. The latter two can also pivot Scream Tail in on their switchins like Garchomp and Corviknight. Scream Tail also struggles against Unaware Pokemon like Cresselia and Scream Tail, as such, appreciates teammates like Dragon Tail Hisuian Goodra, Toxapex, and Alolan Muk that can force them to switch out.

Scream Tail struggles to break through common Fire-types like Magic Guard you don't break any heatran set without focus blast, magic guard is just the one that threatens you most Heatran, Hisuian Arcanine, and Iron Moth without coverage and appreciates teammates like RegenVest Goodra, Primordial Sea Zapdos, and Well-Baked Body Iron Treads switching into these threats. The latter two can also pivot Scream Tail in on their switch-ins add hyphen like Garchomp and Corviknight. maybe mention that scream tail can use these switch-ins as a way to start racking up calm minds Scream Tail also struggles against Unaware Pokemon like Cresselia and opposing Scream Tail, as such, teammates like Dragon Tail Hisuian Goodra, Toxapex, and Alolan Muk are appreciated to force them to switch out.

QC 1/2!

since you included both Nat's and my amqc suggestions, credit both of us as QC1 :3

 

[Isaiah]

Me when 1 + 1 = 1

Contentwise, the only other notable change not mentioned in those QCs is that if it's going for coverage, Scream Tail should always run Psyshock, not Psychic. Let's see what it all looks like with the changes implemented first, though.

 

[Gimmicky]

Me when 1 + 1 = 1

figured stamping at as qc1 was fair considering most these new changes didn't overlap each other much as well as giving nat time to relook theirs and potentially stamp the 2/2 before sending it to GP, perfectly fine counting each independently if so desired but we can see how it looks once implemented & once nat is awake

 

[Atha]

Not sure where this is at but just to make sure

Pixilate Scream Tail uses its excellent bulk and Speed to set up Calm Minds while the power of Pixilate Boomburst makes up for its lackluster Special Attack stat. Wish and Protect provides Scream Tail with longevity and excellent defensive utility to a team, allowing it to help check threats like Galarian Zapdos, Choice Band Slither Wing and Garchomp, as well as scouting a Choiced attackers. Scouting Choice attackers can't really be counted as defensive utility, because it only works when you're already in. It can also opt to beat more of its checks with coverage, Psychic Psyshock 2OHKOes Iron Moth and Toxapex at +1 and Focus Blast OHKOes Kingambit and 2HKOes non-RegenVest Iron Treads at +1. Scream Tail can also opt for Stealth Rock or Thunder Wave to cripple checks such as Corviknight and Heatran. Scream Tail struggles to break through common Fire-types like Magic Guard Heatran, Hisuian Arcanine, and Iron Moth without coverage and appreciates teammates like Goodra, Primordial Sea Zapdos, and Well-Baked Body Iron Treads switching into these threats.
