Strategy Overview
At first glance, Monferno may appear to be outclassed by Blaziken due to its lower defenses and attacking stats. However, this NFE Pokemon has a few tricks up its sleeve that give it a niche in UU battles, such as access to Stealth Rock, Nasty Plot, and a unique base Speed of 81. The most important note to keep in mind is never to play Monferno like Blaziken--otherwise, you will just end up with an inferior Pokemon. However, if you make the most of Monferno's unique traits, it can be an effective sweeper or supporter.
