Strategy Overview
With the power provided by combination of Sheer Force and Life Orb as well as fantastic coverage, Nidoqueen can act as an outstanding wallbreaker. In addition, Nidoqueen has good bulk with a typing that grants it a great set of resistances and an immunity to Electric and two common status moves, Toxic and Thunder Wave. To complement its offensive attributes, Nidoqueen has access to useful utility moves, such as Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes, and Roar. However, Nidoqueen's poor Speed and lack of reliable recovery leave it prone to being easily worn down.
