Strategy Overview
Cherrim is able to carve out a decent niche for itself in PU as an offensive Healing Wish user. Its decent power, Speed, and coverage help it perform this role effectively. However, that's about all Cherrim has going for it. It faces tons of competition from other Grass-types such as Simisage, as well as from Mr. Mime, which does Cherrim's job mostly better thanks to its higher Speed and better typing. While Cherrim's Speed is decent, it is still outpaced by the majority of the offensive threats in the metagame, which is not helped by its mediocre bulk.
