Strategy Overview

Ludicolo is a nice alternative special sponge if you're sick to death of Blissey and Snorlax, and is a great wall to fellow Water-types, especially Swampert. Leech Seed is marvelous, and the surprising Rain Dance set hurts a lot if you're unprepared. However, it has a lot of trouble taking on Pokemon that pack Substitute or status moves.
