Strategy Overview
At first glance, Wooper may seem like a sitting duck; assumptions may be that it's cute, but pathetically weak. Unfortunately for those who think that, Wooper is far from useless. It can serve as a utility Pokemon; its high HP and good Defense, further boosted by Eviolite, help it to check certain dangerous threats such as Riolu, and other Fighting- and Ground-type Pokemon. Wooper also sports immunities to Electric- and Water-type moves (with Water Absorb), further enhancing its ability to switch in comfortably. Overall, Wooper should not be underestimated, because when given the correct support, it will not be easy to knock out.
