Strategy Overview

Gastrodon is a proficient physical wall. It has a great defensive typing, leaving it with a plethora of resistances and one weakness. It has a fantastic ability in Storm Drain, giving it an immunity to Water-type moves and a Special Attack boost if hit by one. It also has access to Recover, which allows it to stay healthy throughout the match. However, Gastrodon is extremely slow and is very vulnerable to status.
