Strategy Overview

Garbodor's decent bulk and ability to set both Spikes and Toxic Spikes allow it to function well in a support role on many builds. With Rocky Helmet, Aftermath, and a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, it can punish U-turn pivots and most physical attackers. In addition, it is one of the most favorable defensive Spikes users due to its good special bulk and ability to take on Virizion. However, it gives common Defoggers, such as Flygon and Golbat, multiple opportunities to remove entry hazards from the field.
