Strategy Overview
Garbodor is another variation of the standard "bulky Poison-type". What makes Garbodor so great defensively is the fact that it only has two weaknesses, Psychic and Ground. In addition, Garbodor has the ability to set up both Spikes and Toxic Spikes, as well as absorbing Toxic Spikes upon entry. Garbodor's stats are all above average, but unfortunately its movepool is only subpar, which limits its effectiveness. Garbodor has a very limited offensive movepool; it lacks any form of reliable recovery, and because its Speed is nothing spectacutar, lack of a priority move can leave it helpless against a lot of Pokemon in the tier. Garbodor is inferior to most other Poison-types in the game, but if you take advantage of its decent defensive stats and great typing, it will not disappoint.
