Strategy Overview
Dugtrio is an interesting Pokemon in the VGC 2012 metagame. It might not seem like the most appealing Pokemon to use, especially when options such as Excadrill and Garchomp are available. In fact, thanks to its mere base 80 Attack and 35 / 50 / 70 defenses, Dugtrio seems appalling when compared to other attackers; however, it has a base 120 Speed stat and some nifty options for attacking and supporting, such as Final Gambit, Memento, and Reversal. Dugtrio can also serve as a trap, holding Intimidated foes down until they're KOed.
