Strategy Overview
With plenty of fish in the sea to choose from, Gorebyss may seem like a strange choice. While it has a great base 114 Special Attack, its other stats are nothing to write home about. What makes Gorebyss interesting is its access to Swift Swim and Shell Smash. These two qualities allow Gorebyss to outspeed many of its opponents and put that one stat it has to good use. With some support, Gorebyss can become a monstrous glass cannon.
