Strategy Overview

Despite being in a low Speed tier and weak to common attacking types, Piloswine finds a niche as an incredibly bulky and reliable Stealth Rock user. Thanks to its excellent Ice / Ground typing, Piloswine is one of the few Stealth Rock users that can reliably beat common answers to entry hazards such as Xatu, Sandslash, and Claydol. With its good offensive typing and high Base Power moves such as Earthquake and Icicle Crash, Piloswine is a potent attacker, hitting the majority of the tier for neutral damage with just its STAB moves. Thanks to Thick Fat, Piloswine can effectively deal with Ice-types and soften blows from powerful Fire-types.
