Strategy Overview

As the fastest Stealth Rock setter in the NU tier, Miltank has a claim to fame as a support Pokemon. With a variety of utility moves such as Heal Bell under its belt, as well as a reliable recovery move in Milk Drink, Miltank can easily cater to your team's needs. Alongside Miltank's decent mixed bulk, it has two effective abilities that aid its defensive prowess in Thick Fat and Sap Sipper. Offensively, Miltank can work as a decent late-game sweeper with a Curse set alongside Scrappy. It's not always easy for Miltank to be effective though, due to the prevalence of Fighting-type Pokemon in the metagame. Miltank has a difficult time getting past Ghost-types, especially Misdreavus, without Scrappy. It also has difficulty fitting coverage moves into its already limited moveslots; Milk Drink is an automatic requirement, which leaves Miltank with only three moveslots. While its Normal typing leaves a lot to be desired, its three abilities all provide unique niches that makes Miltank one of the more unpredictable Pokemon in the NU tier.
