Answer 1

Still no movesets for him, uh? Lemme fix that. Here is a annoyer Physically Defensive set.

GEN 9 UU

Wormer (Hydrapple) @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpA
Calm / Sassy Nature
- Draco Meteor / Fickle Beam
- Recover
- Dragon Tail
- Infestation / Syrup Bomb

Tera Fairy gets rid of your weaknesses to Dragon and Bug. Draco Meteor is STAB, but you can use its signature move Fickle Beam as well since its pretty decent. Recover is healing. Dragon Tail can force the opponent to switch, so no Dragon Dance / Calm Mind for u. Infestation is good residual damage , but you can use Syrup Bomb to slow down opponents.

Have fun using it!

Comments

You can run this set as a Set up helper by Yawning then switching in to the pokemon you want, or as a trickroom sweeper, or as a switch damager (Have a pokemon set up as many hazards as possible the just dragon tail)

Answer 2

Hydrapple @ Leftovers
Ability: Supersweet Syrup
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 68 Def / 252 SpA / 188 SpD
Modest Nature
- Leaf Storm
- Draco Meteor
- Protect/Tera Blast
- Recover/Tera Blast

This is meant for a double battle with another Pokemon having Contrary as its ability. (Malamar is a good choice because of skill swap and trick room.) Supersweet Syrup makes it easier for Leaf Storm and Draco Meteor to connect. The Tera type Stellar can just be whatever you want, but if you go with Stellar, Tera Blast is a must have.
