Special Sweeper Munna (Synchronize)
Munna is a sensational Special Sweeper. It was designed to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Munna is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield but Eviolite changes that. 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 Munna from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Munna's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Synchronize, if another pokemon burns/poisons/paralyzes Munna it also gets that status.
