Vivifire Analysis

Bulky Sweeper ( Fire )
Vivifire @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Moonlight
- Moonblast
- Will-O-Wisp / Cleansing Fire

This set can sweep through teams once certain revenge killers or walls have been removed. Will-o-Wisp and Calm Mind together allow it to absorb hits on both ends of the spectrum. It can also serve a defensive or support role earlier in the game. Will-o-Wisp makes you much better against a majority of physical threats, while Cleansing Fire allows you to heal off status and provide hazard removal support.


Support ( Fire )
Vivifire @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Cleansing Fire
- Moonlight
- Moonblast
- Thunder Wave / Will-o-Wisp

This makes the most of Vivifire's support abilities, able to clear hazards for its team and status enemy sweeping threats. A special defensive spread is also possible, but is less useful for countering most hazard setters.


Nasty Plot ( Fairy )
Vivifire @ Fightinium Z
Ability: Serene Grace / Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Moonblast / Thunderbolt / Psychic

An offensive Fire type is a nice asset for Fairy teams to fight back against Steel types. Fire Blast and Focus Blast together can hit any Steel types super effectively. Moonblast is your best bet for abusing Serene Grace, however if you already have a lot of Fairy coverage on your team, you may want to run another coverage move like Thunderbolt to hit Water types for Vivifire or Psychc to hit Poison types for the team in general. If you don't run Moonblast, Flash Fire is probably more useful, especially if your team uses Sun.
