Build direction

Scream Tail starts with Fairy Wind, a Radial burst attack. Build the early run around this actual starting behavior, then choose alternatives from its legal pool.

Use the radial spread for surrounding enemies while keeping an exit. One isolated target will not necessarily receive every projectile in the burst.

Strengths & limits from its stats

Base HP 122 versus dataset median 99; movement 125 versus 105; attack multiplier ×1.06 versus ×1.17. Medians use all 966 entries and describe base stats, not win rates.

Its HP is at or above the dataset median, giving a larger base health buffer than lower-HP entries; this does not remove type weaknesses or incoming warnings.

Movement is at or above the median, which helps repositioning under equal modifiers. Liquids, snow and traps can still reduce effective speed.

Move choices & active slots

Its regular learn pool contains 14 moves across 9 behavior families. Choose a different behavior or attack type for a real target problem; learning extra ordinary slots does not add simultaneous damage.

For a different damage pattern, inspect Dazzling Gleam / Confusion. These are legal alternatives from its pool; compare their level, evolution and target conditions before replacing the active attack.

Upgrade & evolution route

A practical first budget shortlist is Strength, based on the stat comparison above. Compare costs and your actual failure point; these are recommendations, not a universally optimal purchase order. Permanent levels belong to this Pokémon.

For Fairy Wind → Moonblast, reach move level 5, take the Power card in this run and select the evolution offer. Buying a similarly named permanent upgrade does not satisfy that condition.

This analysis is derived from the displayed source stats and combat rules. It does not claim playtesting, measured win rate or guaranteed run length.
