Strategy Overview
Pineco sports great defenses and respectable HP, which allows it to take advantage of its vast support movepool. Pineco can lay down all three entry hazards and spin opposing entry hazards away, which is an asset to most teams. While Explosion's nerf makes it a less attractive option for Pineco, an improved Sturdy effectively gives Pineco a free Focus Sash and allows it to do its job more effectively. With new competition from Ferroseed, Pineco might seem outclassed, but it has an advantage in the form of Rapid Spin, as well as resistances to the Fighting- and Ground-type attacks that plague the metagame.
