Strategy Overview

A newcomer to Generation V, Roggenrola is another slow yet powerful Rock-type tank. However, Roggenrola has a few unique qualities that set it apart from other Rock-types in the metagame. Sturdy, high Attack, and a lack of a quadruple weakness all help its cause. In addition, it gets great neutral coverage with its attacks, which can be assisted by either Autotomize or Trick Room support. With a sandstorm raging, its weak Special Defense will receive a boost as well, giving it impressive mixed defenses to complement its high Attack stat. With access to Stealth Rock, Sturdy, and Explosion, it makes a good lead as well.
