Tailwind Support
Strategy Overview
- Whimsicott has access to Prankster along with a high base 116 Speed and a plethora of useful status moves, allowing it to provide nearly guaranteed support for its team and disruption to the opponent's Pokemon.
- It is one of the few viable Tailwind users, providing a reliable and not very common form of speed control in the format.
- It can prevent and disrupt other forms of speed control with its status moves.
- While providing resistance to some common types like Electric, Whimsicott's Grass / Fairy typing and low defensive stats makes it weak to common attacks in the format, especially Poison-type coverage moves.
- Dark-type's immunity to Prankster status moves hinders it's disruptive potential.
- Its large support movepool means it suffers from four-moveslot syndrome.
- It has little offensive presence, only being capable of dealing significant damage to a select few Pokemon.
