Strategy Overview
Kricketune is an outclassed Sticky Web setter in PU, able to support its slow but powerful teammates by slowing down the opposing Pokemon, though not as well as other options. Kricketune has mild utility outside of setting up Sticky Web thanks to access to Taunt, Knock Off, and Endeavor. Unfortunately, entry hazard removal is common in PU, and as a suicide Sticky Web setter, Kricketune requires a lot of team support to keep Sticky Web up. Kricketune is also rather slow and not very threatening; thus, taking care of common Sticky Web partners is often enough to prevent Kricketune from bugging a team too much. Ultimately though, Kricketune is simply outclassed by options such as Leavanny and Smeargle, which boast higher Speed and more useful support options.
