Amoonguss

Grass

Amoonguss is a great pivot for Grass teams because of Regenerator and its defensive typing providing a Bug neutrality and resistances to check physical attackers like Heracross and Azumarill. Furthermore, its Fighting resistance is great because Grass teams have common Fighting weaknesses like Ferrothorn, Cradily, and Zarude. Its Poison typing absorbs Toxic Spikes, which is useful since Grass teams lack a good entry hazard remover. Its access to Spore cripples opposing Pokemon, giving teammates like Zarude and Rillaboom opportunities to come in. Unfortunately, Amoonguss is forced out by Pokemon carrying super effective coverage such as Hydreigon, Zapdos, and Heatran and special attackers like Nihilego, Spectrier, and Kingdra. Furthermore, Amoonguss easily becomes bait for setup sweepers like Galarian Moltres and Volcarona and hazard setters like Klefki and Mew after it has used Spore on a foe already. Finally, it has a hard time making progress against defensive Grass-types like Ferrothorn and opposing Amoonguss.
