Strategy Overview
Purugly has never been successful in finding a place in the Underused tier thanks to its shallow movepool and mediocre stats. The fact that it is overshadowed by both Persian and Ambipom in almost every possible way does not bring any positives to the mixture. Nevertheless, with a Speed of 355 and access to both Fake Out and Taunt, Purugly can make a decent lead.
