Trevenant Guide
In Sun & Moon, Natural Cure changes the entire equation for Trevenant. The 474 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker. Trickroom with Aguavberry is the standard set.
Natural Cure is what you want on Trevenant. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Frisk, Harvest) work on paper but Natural Cure is what makes Trevenant worth using.
At base 56 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Trevenant is leaning toward the physical side (base 110 Attack). Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as an attacker.
In Sun & Moon, run Trickroom, Horn Leech, Leech Seed, and Shadowclaw on Trevenant. Trickroom is the most common pick at 14% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Trevenant joined the series in X & Y and has been available in 7 titles so far. With 5 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
