Answer 1

Set Up Sweeper

Typhlosion-Hisui @ Leftovers / Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Blaze
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 152 HP / 104 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
- Flamethrower
- Shadow Ball

Something that Hisuian Typhlosion has over regular Typhlosion is access to Calm Mind. Unfortunately, its typing defensively is pretty awful, so it is quite Tera reliant. Leftovers allows for passive recovery behind a substitute, but there is the niche option of Heavy-Duty Boots to guard from the increased amount of hazards as of late. I find that fully investing in Special Attack is not necessary, as it will already be very powerful after one Calm Mind coming off a base 119 Special Attack stat. Calm Mind allows Typhlosion to set up. Substitute allows Typhlosion to do this setting up safely if given the opportunity. Flamethrower and Shadow Ball are strong STAB moves. Tera Water gives Hisuian Typhlosion a much better defensive typing while not sacrificing any of its offensive prowess.

Answer 2

High Risk High Reward Scarf Sweeper

Typhlosion-Hisui @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Blaze
Tera Type: Fire / Grass
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Eruption
- Fire Blast / Flamethrower
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast / Tera Blast

One of the downsides of Hisuian Typhlosion is it being 5 points slower than regular Typhlosion, but this can be mostly remedied with a Choice Scarf. Eruption is an extremely strong STAB move that can greatly benefit from proper hazard control in order to keep Typhlosion as healthy as possible. Fire Blast is also a strong STAB attack, but Flamethrower is more reliable and accurate. Shadow Ball is Ghost STAB. Focus Blast hits Dark and Rock types harder, but if you opt to run Tera Blast with Grass Tera typing, you can break through defensive Water types, notably 2HKOing physically defensive Dondozo with no hazards and 2HKOing Rotom-Wash. If you aren't running Tera Blast, I'd strongly recommend using a Tera Type of Fire to boost Eruption's firepower even more. You could also use this set on a sun team to take Eruption to new levels of power.

Answer 3

Life Orb Mixed Attacker

Typhlosion-Hisui @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 212 Atk / 44 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Flamethrower
- Shadow Ball
- Earthquake
- Low Kick

Hisuian Typhlosion's attack stat is actually decent, allowing it to (somewhat) viably run a mixed set. Flamethrower and Shadow Ball are standard STAB attacks. Earthquake with this EV spread allows you to OHKO fully specially defensive Heatran with no hazards up. Low Kick can hit threats such as Roaring Moon. A tera type of Ground can allow Typhlosion to muscle through physically defensive Toxapex, 2HKOing it with Earthquake (keep in mind a switch is very likely afterward).

212 Atk Life Orb Typhlosion-Hisui Low Kick (120 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Roaring Moon: 322-382 (91.7 - 108.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

212 Atk Life Orb Typhlosion-Hisui Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 390-463 (101 - 119.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

212 Atk Life Orb Tera Ground Typhlosion-Hisui Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 192+ Def Toxapex: 172-203 (56.5 - 66.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Answer 4

Gen 9 OU
Typhlosion-Hisui @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Blaze
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Infernal Parade
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Eruption
Suggested teammates: Great Tusk, Azumarill, Hatterene, Azelf, Scizor
Choice Scarf: Lets Typhlosion-Hisui move faster and spam Eruption.
Infernal Parade/Shadow Ball: Great STAB options, Infernal Parade has a chance to burn and double its power.
Focus Blast: to hit Rock/Dark types like Tyranitar, which both of Typhlosion-Hisui's STAB types are not very effective against.
Eruption: Quick Typhlosion-Hisui can spam this with STAB so it turns into a base 225 power move.
Tera Water: Diminishes most of the weaknesses of Typhlosion-Hisui and is a great defensive type.

Answer 5

Typhlosion-Hisui @ Leftovers / Assault Vest
Ability: Blaze
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 Spe / 146 Atk / 110 SpA
Naive Nature
- Calm Mind
- Eruption / Fire Blast / Flamethrower / Infernal Parade / Tera Blast
- Earthquake / Shadow Ball / Thunder Punch / Fire Punch
- Protect / Substitute / Solar Beam / Focus Blast

This is a different build I came up with.
Moves in Bold are the moves I run.
Infernal Parade = STAB
Earthquake = Coverage
Thunder Punch = Catch Water types off guard.
Shadow Ball = STAB.

Hope that if you try this out you will enjoy it. Thank you.

Answer 6

Since Typhlosion-Hisui is now NU, here is a set it can use there:

Gen 9 NU Status Spreader

Typhlosion-Hisui @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Frisk
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Eruption
- Focus Blast
- Lava Plume
- Infernal Parade

A status spreader set Hisuian Typhlosion uses in Gen 9 NU. The idea of this set is that it doesn't require Hisuian Typhlosion to be at full HP to put in work with spamming powerful Eruptions. This set uses the 30% burn chance on two of Hisuian Typhlosion's STAB moves to spread burns, which is the main way this set allows Hisuian Typhlosion to put in work. Eruption is used for a powerful Fire STAB that should be used when it would be stronger than Lava Plume, in other words, it is used when Typhlosion-Hisui isn't low on HP. Focus Blast gives Hisuian Typhlosion a coverage move that deals super effective damage to Dark-types such as Krookodile, Incineroar, and Umbreon. Focus Blast also deals super effective damage to Rock-types such as Rhyperior, Iron Thorns, and Lycanroc-Dusk. Lava Plume and Infernal Parade are used for the STABs that allows Typhlosion-Hisui to spread burns, with Infernal Parade having double power when used on opposing Pokemon that are statused. Heavy-Duty Boots is used to pevent Hisuian Typhlosion from being chipped by hazards. Frisk is used to scout for items opposing Pokemon have so you can get an idea of what sets opposing Pokemon are using on a team. Tera Fighting allows Hisuian Typhlosion to resist Dark- and Rock-types and have another STAB move in Focus Blast.
