Strategy Overview
Although Runerigus sports good physical bulk, a great movepool, and a unique ability in Wandering Spirit, it is nevertheless a poor defensive entry hazard setter. Runerigus has multiple defensive weaknesses, making it weak to common threats like Rotom, Silvally-Dark, and Skuntank, and lacks reliable recovery. It suffers from overwhelming competition from Ground-types like Rhydon and Palossand, with the former having a better typing and stats and the latter having better longevity thanks to reliable recovery.
