Strategy Overview

With excellent defensive typing, good defensive stats, and an impressive support movepool, Forretress is a top-tier defensive threat and premier entry hazard user. However, Forretress is not without its faults. Many powerful attackers, such as Genesect, Keldeo, and Garchomp, run rampant in DW OU, all of whom can take advantage of Forretress. Don't let these faults deter you from using Forretress, though; with the correct team support, it will prove to be an excellent member of your team.
