Strategy Overview

With its great physical bulk, Miltank is able to take on top-tier threats such as Tauros and Kangaskhan. In addition, access to reliable recovery makes sure that Miltank is able to outlast the Pokemon it checks. Miltank also has a slew of support options in Thunder Wave, Heal Bell, and Stealth Rock, making it a very helpful asset for some teams. Miltank's Speed also sets it apart other walls such as Mega Audino, as it outspeeds some slower offensive Pokemon with minimal investment. Thanks to Sap Sipper, Miltank has an immunity to Grass-type attacks, particularly Sleep Powder, making it a great check to Grass-types such as Lilligant and Shiftry. Though Miltank does face some competition from Mega Audino, Miltank does not rely on Wish and Protect for recovery, freeing up a moveslot for it to run another support move and giving it more versatility. Miltank does, however, have mediocre Special Defense, which leaves it vulnerable to special attackers such as Samurott, Magmortar, Mesprit, and Ludicolo. Miltank's Normal typing leaves it with almost no resistances and causes it to be threatened by the many Fighting-types that roam the tier, hindering its walling capabilities. Miltank also tends to be setup bait for Substitute users and Pokemon that resist Body Slam such as Klinklang, Rhydon, and Mismagius.
