Strategy Overview

Natu is PU's only Magic Bounce user and can bounce back entry hazards, such as Stealth Rock, and status moves, such as Taunt. Natu's nice support movepool, which includes reliable recovery in Roost, momentum with U-turn, and Thunder Wave to slow down foes, makes it a great teammate on hazard-weak teams. However, its Psychic typing makes it vulnerable to Knock Off users such as Pawniard, as it relies on its Eviolite for bulk. Its Flying typing gives it a weakness to common Stealth Rock users, such as Golem and Probopass. Natu is also vulnerable to special attackers, such as Raichu and Zebstrika, because of its poor special bulk even with Eviolite. Natu is also unable to utilize an attacking set, due to its mediocre attacking stats.
