Strategy Overview

While Ferrothorn reigns in OU with its supreme bulk, typing, and support movepool, Ferroseed is a great supporting Pokemon in UU with many similar qualities. It has the same amazing typing and nearly equal bulk factoring in Eviolite, allowing Ferroseed to be a great wall despite the loss of Leftovers. Ferroseed's main issue stems from its terrible base 50 Attack, leaving it to become setup bait to even some of the bulky Water-types it's supposed to counter. Despite this flaw, thanks to its great typing and support movepool, Ferroseed can be a great supporter in UU.
