Strategy Overview
Buizel's stats are better than most Pokemon, and its Water typing makes it weak to only Grass- and Electric-type attacks. Buizel pairs those stats with a great movepool that lets it get past many Little Cup Pokemon. Unfortunately for the sea weasel, every advantage comes with a downside; in this case, the downside is its terribly low defenses. Buizel is best used in the rain, as one of its abilities, Swift Swim, doubles its Speed when the skies are open. With its great ability to sweep and 38 Speed in the rain, Buizel can be a great addition to a team.
