Strategy Overview
Huntail is a fearsome setup sweeper in PU with the help of Shell Smash. The boost from Shell Smash gives Huntail just enough Speed to outrun the entire unboosted metagame, and the dual boosts to Attack and Special Attack make Huntail a truly difficult Pokemon to stop late-game that can shred weakened teams. However, Huntail can struggle to find a time to set up in the face of offensive pressure from threats like Zebstrika and Stoutland and is relatively weak and slow without the Shell Smash boost.
