Answer 1

Gen 9 NU Coil

Eelektross @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 132 SpD / 124 Spe
Careful Nature
- Coil
- Thunder Punch
- Drain Punch
- Dragon Tail

With Sandaconda having the moves Stealth Rock, Earthquake, Glare, and Rest being common in Gen 9 NU, Coil Eelektross can use Sandaconda as setup fodder. Coil Eelektross is a really good wincon in Gen 9 NU. Coil boosts Eelektross' Attack, Defense, and Accuracy, making it a scary threat once it sets up. Thunder Punch is used for an Electric STAB and is preferred over Wild Charge due to Wild Charge's recoil making you unable to live certain hits as well and Wild Charge's recoil and taking Aftermath damage is unfun. Drain Punch provides coverage against Pokemon such as Jolteon, Copperajah, Abomasnow, and Umbreon. Drain Punch also lets Eelektross recover some HP. Dragon Tail may seem weird on this set, but Dragon Tail forcing Pokemon off of the field is useful to prevent setup sweepers such as Coil Sandaconda, Quiver Dance Frosmoth, Quiver Dance Oricorio-Baile, Calm Mind/Coil Dudunsparce, and opposing Coil Eelektross from setting up alongside Eelektross. Tera Steel is used as the Tera type due to its good defensive typing.

252 HP EVs are used for bulk. 124 Speed EVs allow Eelektross to outspeed Vaporeon. The rest of the EVs are used in Special Defense alongside Careful Nature to give Eelektross special bulk since it will boost its defense with Coil.
