Strategy Overview

Granbull possesses a pure Fairy typing, allowing it to beat many of the tier's Fighting-, Dark-, and Dragon-types. It also has decent Attack and Defense, which, along with Intimidate, make it a solid Pokemon both offensively and defensively. Granbull also has a good movepool, ranging from offensive moves in Earthquake and Play Rough to more supportive ones in Roar and Thunder Wave. However, its low Special Defense makes it vulnerable to many special attackers in the tier, particularly Poison-types such as Nidoqueen and Roserade. It's also very slow and unable to outspeed a number of walls, which sets it back quite a bit. Granbull does require quite a lot of team support and doesn't function well on all types of teams, but it can perform very well as a cleric and a check to many physical threats in the metagame.
