Strategies
Sets
Physical Wall
Worvator @ Leftovers Ability: Earth Eater EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature - Stealth Rock - U-Turn - Earthquake - Heavy Slam / Iron Head
Worvator provides great bulk and utility with this set. Allowing it to threaten Tyranitar, Zeraora and Bisharp. Earth Eater grants a very much needed Immunity to ground, allowing Worvator to switch in to strong ground attackers such as Ursaluna, Hippowdon and Excadrill.
Sand Rush
Worvator @ Life Orb Ability: Sand Rush EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - U-Turn - Earthquake - Heavy Slam / Iron Head - Fire Fang / Brutal Swing / Rock Slide
Sand Rush allows Worvator to be a strong threat in sand, rivaling Excadrill in sand teams. While in sand, Worvator can deal heavy damage and outspeed many common threats such as Mega Gardevoir, Scizor, Serperior, and Victini. U-Turn allows Worvator to deal chip damage when faced with walls such as Rotom-Wash, Mega Sableye, and Buzzwole.
Suicide Lead
Worvator @ Focus Sash Ability: Earth Eater EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Impish Nature - Stealth Rock - Spikes - Self-Destruct - Heavy Slam
Worvator is sent out first to set up hazards, spam heavy slam and when it gets low, click self-destruct. This can deal heavy damage and catch opponents off guard. Hazards provide great utility and make it annoying for other Pokemon to switch in on them.
Sets coming soon!
Team Options
Worvator, when running Sand Rush wants to be in a sand team with common sand Pokemon such as Tyranitar, Dracozolt, Hippowdon, etc. Worvator can also benefit from Pokemon outside of sand such as Rillaboom, Pecharunt and Iron Moth, as they synergize with Worvator well by providing great pivoting and healing (with grassy terrain).
Weaknesses
Worvator lacks special defence, making it vulnerable to many common special attackers in its tier. Worvator also struggles with setting up, as it does not carry common setup moves such as swords dance, which can limit its damage output.
