Strategy Overview

Pyukumuku is almost a necessity on stall teams due to its ability to deal with many stall-threatening setup sweepers in RU such as Snorlax, Salazzle, and Necrozma. Thanks to Unaware, Pyukumuku is a natural pick on these type of teams due to its solid bulk and access to reliable recovery. Its combination of Block and Toxic allows it to trap and eliminate threats such as Ninetales and Bewear with passive damage, preventing them from damaging the team's defensive backbone. Additionally, access to a rare move in Soak allows it to remove the STAB boost from the attacks of foes, allowing Pyukumuku to better deal with Pokemon like Salazzle that it would be unable to wall otherwise. However, its complete lack of offensive presence due to its lack of damaging moves means it is only viable on stall teams and makes it complete Taunt and Substitute bait from the likes of Mandibuzz and Mismagius. Furthermore, despite its very solid defensive stats, Pyukumuku can still be taken advantage of by strong wallbreakers such as Choice Specs Gardevoir and Choice Band Tyrantrum.
