This means the pool of usable Pok\u00e9mon has increased drastically, with a decent percentage of the new Pok\u00e9mon coming in hailing from the ancient lands of Hisui. Not all Hisuian Pok\u00e9mon were created equal though, which is why we have ranked every Hisuian Pok\u00e9mon coming to Scarlet and Violet from Home from worst to best, with regards to their viability in the official competitive format, VGC. All Hisuian Pok\u00e9mon coming to Scarlet and Violet from Home, ranked 18) Hisuian Electrode There\u2019s not much to say about this zippy little guy other than the fact it is slightly better than its Kantonian counterpart due to its better typing and move coverage. Other than that, H-Electrode is still very frail and has poor damage output, and they are just simply some things being incredibly speedy cannot save. 17) Hisuian Avalugg It\u2019s Avalugg with a worse defensive typing and even less Special Defense\u2014we honestly did not think doing those two things was possible, but here\u2019s Hisuian Avalugg. It does get Strong Jaw and Sturdy, two decent abilities, while also getting a slight increase in its base Attack stat, but it's not quite enough to justify running this dude on a serious team. 16) Hisuian Decidueye Hisuian Decidueye\u2019s signature Triple Arrows is cool and all, but with the \u2018mon\u2019s average Attack stat, you\u2019ll want the immediate damage from Close Combat. Apart from this, its bulk is mediocre and its defensive typing is poor. Access to the move Tailwind may seem like it redeems Hisuian Decidueye, but it\u2019s too slow and frail to make use of it.\u00a0It does get Scrappy, but we don\u2019t think Ghost types are going to be overrunning Reg. D VGC; apart from Flutter Mane, who will end up resisting Fighting hits and who will, more importantly, take H-Decidueye out in a single hit before it can move. Ouch. 15) Hisuian Samurott Even though Hisuian Samurott gets access to the broken ability Sharpness, its base Attack stat and the Base Power of the cutting moves it gets access to are too low to make a huge positive impact for it. It is also too frail and slow and will drop to a single Dazzling Gleam from Flutter Mane before being able to do anything. Want to Terastallize it to survive the hit? You just wasted your Terastallization on a mediocre Pok\u00e9mon who might just get knocked out by a double-up anyways. Hurray. 14) Wyrdeer Wyrdeer has one niche: Intimidate and Trick Room. But its pre-evo, Stantler, could do that as well while boosting its Defenses by holding an Eviolite too, so just how revolutionary is Wyrdeer? Spoiler alert: not that much. It does have better typing and access to an item slot to fit in something like a Sitrus Berry for survivability, though. 13) Hisuian Zoroark If Annihilape ever becomes a staple pick in Regulation D, we have Hisuian Zoroark with the Normal\/Ghost dual-type to be immune to both of Annihilape\u2019s STAB moves. Pretty funny. Other than that, H-Zoroark is a much better candidate for pulling off Illusion shenanigans as compared to its Unovan descendant due to its superior defensive typing, while having a slightly better Special Attack stat. Its overall bulk gets worse though, and the \u2018mon, in general, is nothing to write home about anyways. 12) Overqwil Overqwil is a decent \u2018mon, having two amazing abilities in Intimidate and Swift Swim. While this evil pufferfish can definitely play the role of an intimidator, do you really want it over a \u2018mon with more overall utility like Arcanine or Gyarados? As a Swift Swim abuser, we can definitely see it being a great speedy support, especially since it has access to moves like Icy Wind, Acid Spray, Haze, and Taunt. 11) Hisuian Lilligant Hisuian Lilligant gets access to the Physical counterpart of Quiver Dance called Victory Dance, but it lacks the bulk to act as an effective setup sweeper. H-Lilligant still gets access to After You and Sleep Powder shenanigans, and with Chlorophyll, you can classically pair it up with Torkoal to be an even faster support than regular Lilligant in Sun. 10) Hisuian Braviary While Tinted Lens is a broken ability, Hisuian Braviary is not offensive enough to abuse it. Even though having access to Tailwind may make it look like good Speed Control support, it\u2019s too frail and slow for that role. Instead, what we recommend is using it as a Sheer Force-Life Orb sweeper, preferably in Rain. This will make Hurricanes 100 percent accurate while giving H-Braviary a 1.3x + 1.3x damage multiplier from Sheer Force and Life Orb respectively, without the Life Orb recoil. Related: Pok\u00e9mon HOME\u2019s Scarlet and Violet update is here, with a few twists This ability and item combo also boosts its signature move Esper Wing, which still keeps its high crit rate as that isn\u2019t considered a secondary effect for Sheer Force. 9) Kleavor Like Hisuian Samurott, Kleavor also gets Sharpness, but it can actually make good use of the ability with a phenomenal Attack stat and useful cutting moves like its signature Stone Axe that sets up Stealth Rocks, and X-Scissor. There is a lot to desire in terms of its bulk, however, and its defensive typing is decent at best. With a middling Speed stat, it may struggle to be used in both, Tailwind and Trick Room. 8) Sneasler\u00a0 Sneasler may be frail, but with enough support, this Pok\u00e9mon can sweep teams, especially because of its ability Unburden. Give it a Psychic Seed to hold and pair it with Indeedee-F, and you will double your Speed while getting more Specially bulky, letting Indeedee redirect hits while you set up with Swords Dance or simply go for immediate damage with its phenomenal base 130 Attack stat. 7) Enamorus - Incarnate Form Enamorus\u2019 Incarnate Form possesses the phenomenal and rare ability in Contrary, but can only activate it itself through Superpower, where raising its Attack stat has barely any meaning since its Physical move pool is pathetic. It does have a great supportive move pool with moves such as Tailwind and Taunt, but you would rather use Prankster Tornadus for that role. It does work as a strong Fairy Special Attacker, but why would you use this \u2018mon over Flutter Mane, in that case? Enamorus Incarnate does a lot of things, but it seems like other \u2018mons just play those roles better anyways. 6) Hisuian Arcanine There\u2019s no reason to use Hisuian Arcanine over regular Arcanine to fill the bulky intimidator role. Instead, use it for its Hidden Ability: Rock Head. With its secondary Rock typing in conjunction with Rock Head, you now have a 150 BP STAB Head Smash that inflicts no recoil. Pair that with no-recoil STAB Flare Blitz, and no-recoil Wild Charge for coverage, and you\u2019ve got an offensive powerhouse on your side. You may want to Terastallize out of H-Arcanine's poor defensive typing, though. 5) Hisuian Goodra Hisuian Goodra is a clear upgrade from its Kalosian counterpart, with better typing and a better stat spread, especially regarding its bulk. It also possesses an incredibly diverse move pool that complements an Assault Vest set really well. Without AV, you can simply run three moves with wide coverage along with Life Dew to keep H-Goodra and its partner healthy. Sap Sipper is its preferred ability to counter Amoonguss with Spore effectively. 4) Hisuian Typhlosion Probably the only good Hisuian starter to use in Regulation D VGC, Hisuian Typhlosion has one great use case: fast Eruptions. While it is slower than its Johtonian descendant, it is much faster than the regular Eruption user, Torkoal, and with a little Speed control from its partners\u2014or a Choice Scarf\u2014it can very easily burn through teams, especially since it has a higher Special Attack stat than its Johtonian counterpart. H-Typhlosion's Ghost typing is also fantastic, making it immune to Fake Out and Facade from Ursaluna, while giving it a STAB boost on Shadow Ball or its decent signature move, Infernal Parade. 3) Basculegion - Male There is no reason to use the female form of Basculegion with its poorer Physical Attack stat, especially since this \u2018mon\u2019s strongest move\u2014Last Respects\u2014is a Physical move, adding an extra 50 BP to itself for every fallen team member. With Swift Swim, Basculegion-M can easily sweep any team, especially with Rain-boosted Wave Crashes. Add Aqua Jet for priority and you\u2019ve got a beast on your hands. 2) Enamorus
