Strategy Overview

Fraxure is a Pokemon that finds itself outclassed on multiple fronts in PU. Fraxure has Dragon Dance to be an endgame sweeper but doesn't have the Speed to sweep after just one boost, and it runs into immediate competition from other sweepers like Huntail. Fraxure could also use a Choice Band to wallbreak, but its lack of Earthquake and awkward Speed mean that Gabite is the better option. Despite these downsides, Fraxure does have one unique niche: Taunt and Swords Dance allow Fraxure to break stall decently well, but Fraxure's limited coverage and subpar Speed mean that it struggles to accomplish much outside of the stall matchup.
