Armaldo

While Armaldo does possess above average stats, a wide variety of offensive options, and the ever-handy Rapid Spin, it is still a mediocre Pokemon. The biggest problem is that Armaldo requires a lot of support to be used effectively, as it fails to make use of its bulk due to its mediocre typing and cannot spin against the two top Ghost-type Pokemon in the tier—Golurk and Misdreavus—one-on-one. On top of that, Armaldo is too slow to reliably Rapid Spin without being revenge killed by faster Pokemon such as Samurott and Sawk. Armaldo does have one redeeming trait however: its ability, Swift Swim. With it, Armaldo is capable of beating most Ghost-types in the tier as well as outspeeding every Pokemon up to Zebstrika, all while still dealing good damage to most Pokemon in this offensive-inclined metagame. Despite its mediocrity, Armaldo can be put to good use on dedicated rain teams. On weatherless teams, however, Mold Breaker Sawk and Taunt leads such as Samurott and Misdreavus are much better at preventing hazards from going up on your side of the field.
