Strategy Overview
Thanks to its Fairy typing and Intimidate, Snubbull acts as a reliable check to many metagame-defining Pokemon, including Mienfoo, Timburr, and Vullaby, and as a soft check to a slew of physical attackers. Numerous support options, including Heal Bell, Thief, and Thunder Wave, let Snubbull adequately support its team, and its good Attack, fantastic coverage options, and access to Bulk Up make it an immediate threat, generally outperforming other Fairy-types, most notably Spritzee, on offensive teams as a result. Although drawbacks in low Speed and a lack of built-in recovery mean that it is easily forced out and worn down, its coveted niche as an offensive Fighting-type check ensures that it remains very useful in the metagame.
