Cherubi is a spectacular Special Sweeper. It was designed to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Cherubi is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield without an Eviolite. If Eviolite is held by a Pokémon that is not fully evolved, it will raises the Defense and Special Defense of that Pokemon by 50%. Focus Sash helps protect Cherubi from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Cherubi's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Chlorophyll, if sunny day is active Cherubi's speed is doubled.
