Strategy Overview

Numel is a unique Pokemon in the current LC metagame, sporting two great abilities in Oblivious and Simple. Oblivious lets Numel reliably set up Stealth Rock throughout the game, while Simple makes Numel a deadly sweeper, allowing it to quickly boost its stats and power, which is complemented by Numel's great offensive coverage. Numel's unique defensive typing makes it a great switch-in for many Poison-, Grass-, Steel-, Electric-, and Fire-types. Numel does suffer from a few flaws, however, such as its low Speed, lack of reliable recovery, and inability to win against entry hazard removers.
