What is the best stat clearer?

Whenever I play competitive I always get rekt by people who keep raising their stats and healing, so I want to know the best Pokémon to clear stats.

You haven’t told the exact format, so I will try to list for as much as I can.By usage stats:

Therefore, your best bet would be the above Whirlwind users. Stat phazers aren’t a big problem in LC, this is evident from the fact that even though Mareanie gets Haze, it has almost no usage. Litten and Shinx are very rarely used, and Duskull’s not much good in LC.

Garbodor has the second most highest usage in the tier. However, Haze is carried only 7% of the time, so the same way in LC, stat boost isn’t that important to have a phazer for.

Weezing has #4 most usage in this tier, although it carries these moves only 5% of time, meaning stat boosting’s not significant here, too.

Mantine’s getting the most usage of these. Phazers are there due to stat boosting meta more prominent than other lower tiers.

Out of these, Milotic has the highest usage and viability thus far.

Toxapex is the #2 most used Pokemon, which makes it a good choice for a phazer. Clefable and Quagsire can’t do anything naturally with their moves, but at least… they ignore the attacker’s stat increases/decreases. Hippowdown and Skarmory are good other choices for Whirlwind.

Ho-Oh is the most used of these. Common set-up sweepers like Xerneas can be handled quite easily through Ho-Oh. Lugia’s a tank, and it can also use Whirlwind to phaze out set-up sweepers and other Dragon Dance users. Quagsire is a bit weird choice, but it can handle Dragon Dance Necrozma-Dusk Mane and other users, but remember that Teravolt of Zekrom ignores Unaware. Finally, Lunala is a bit weird choice but since Shadow Shield can’t be ignored by Sunsteel Strike or Teravolt, it can pretty easily phaze such users out.

Hope this helps!

If the format is OU then you should go forToxapexwith haze. But instead of clearing the stats, you could also run a Pokemon likeSableyeorGrimsnarlwith the move Taunt and the ability prankster. Prankster is an ability that gives priority to status moves by 1. Taunt is a move that forces the target to use an attacking move. This way you can completely deny any healing or stat boosts.Note: Prankster doesn’t work on dark types
