Strategy Overview

Amoonguss is a decent pivot in BW OU thanks to its solid typing and defensive stats alongside its ability to recover HP every time it switches out thanks to Regenerator. Due to this combination, it is a solid switch-in to Pokemon such as Keldeo, Breloom, Politoed, Rotom-W, and Thundurus-T. Unfortunately, Amoonguss is held back by its susceptibility to entry hazards and its passivity making it fodder for setup sweepers and entry hazard setters, and it is a big momentum drain as well.
