Strategy Overview
Skorupi is truly underrated, as it has great Defense, decent Attack, and good Speed. In addition, Skorupi's movepool is expansive, with a wide assortment of attacks and support moves--specifically Toxic Spikes. It also gets a variety of decent special moves, but its Special Attack is quite low, so none of these moves will do much damage. Overall, Skorupi is a pretty good Pokemon as long as you use it as a physical wall that resists Fighting-type attacks, since Ferroseed, among others, outclasses it otherwise.
