Strategy Overview
Hoothoot is a very mediocre Pokemon within the tier, with poor stats all across the board. Its offensive stats aren't very good, while its low defenses mean that it can't surive very long in battle. The fact that it is weak to Stealth Rock makes Hoothoot even worse. However, with a decent movepool and an average Special Defense stat, Hoothoot can actually be viable. Overall, Hoothoot is one of those Pokemon who need a lot of support in order to function, but when given the right support, can accomplish its job well.
