Answer 1

Wyrdeer

Gen 9 PU/NU

New Stantler Evolution but It's still kinda Bad.. Outclassed By Farigiraf and doesn't have an Ability like Theirs, But It still gets Intimidate so who Cares? Also It has Great Attack and Special Attack, But Less Talking and More Sets.

Double Dance

Wyrdeer @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Fighting / Steel
EVs: 80 HP / 40 Def / 252 SpA / 136 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Agility
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock / Stored Power
- Tera Blast

If Wyrdeer drops In PU then This Is what I'm using, The Spread EVS Were used to let Wyrdeer Tank More Hits with Intimdate Activated on a Physical Attacking Mon, The Spread EVS Let It Outspeed Scarfed Lycanroc-M with Agility up and still Giving Wyrdeer a little More Bulk to Survive something, Calm Mind Is Obvious as It helps Boost It's Special Attack and It's Special Defense to tank more Special Hits coming from Glaceon, Pyroar, Houndoom and ETC, Psyshock lets It hits Special walls like AV Crabominable, AV Ampharos and More, Stored Power and with Calm minds and Agility boosts up Stored Power becomes a Strong Attacking Move, Tera Blast Fighting gives It a Super Effective Attacking Move to hit against Steel types or Dark Types like Persian-Alola, Perserrker, Dugtrio and ETC, Tera Blast Steel should be used to Hit Pokemon Like Carbink, Lycanroc-M and Glaceon.

Assault Vest

Wyrdeer @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sap Sipper
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 188 HP / 252 Atk / 68 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Megahorn
- Wild Charge
- Psyshield Bash

Assault Vest Wyrdeer Lets It lives Attacks from Houndoom, Pyroar and ETC, Sap Sipper lets It Counter Gogoat with Sap Sipper and Boosting Wyrdeer's Damage More, Psyshield Bash Boosts your Defense being able to survive more Physical hits coming from Physial attackers. (Duh), Earthquake hits Fire types Effectively and Megahorn hits Gogoat Effectively, Wild Charge lets It hit Basculin Super Effectively, Tera Water Is one of the Best Defensive Typings so You should go for that.

A lot of people might care, and what if Wyrdeer doesn't drop to NU/PU? (although most likely possible, it might not)

Answer 2

Gen 9 NU Assault Vest

Wyrdeer @ Assault Vest
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Atk / 64 SpD / 176 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Body Slam
- Earthquake
- Megahorn
- Psyshield Bash

So, Wyrdeer is in NU, so here's an Assault Vest set for it. Body Slam is used for the Normal STAB due to its chance to paralyze opposing Pokemon. Earthquake is a nice coverage move that is useful against Steel-types such as Magneton and Hisuian-Sliggoo. Megahorn is a useful coverage move to hit Psychic- and Grass-types such as Appletun, Cacturne, Mesprit, Veluza, Bruxish, and Lurantis super effectively. Psyhield Bash is used for the Psychic STAB for the defense boosts, which pairs well with Intimidate and the Assault Vest. Tera Fairy turns Wyrdeer's Dark weakness into a resist.

252 HP EVs are for bulk. 176 Speed EVs allow Wyrdeer to outspeed Pokemon such as max speed Cacturne and Dudunsparce that aren't using a +speed nature. The 64 Special Defense EVs let Wyrdeer take a Volt Switch from Rotom very well as well as making a Water Pulse from a Choice Specs Clawitzer a 3HKO. The rest of the the EVs are used in Attack with Adamant Nature to give Wyrdeer's attacks more power. (Plus 16+ Attack EVs with Adamant Nature lets Wyrdeer hit a jump point for the attack stat.)
