Swablu

Swablu has great Special Defense and a wonderful ability in Natural Cure, which makes it a fine pivot into Scald and Thunder Wave users. Its Defense is somewhat lackluster when not invested in, but access to great boosting options in Cotton Guard and Agility make up for this. The combination of these two moves grants Swablu the ability to sweep and otherwise threaten offense teams. Access to recovery in Roost gives Swablu the ability to make use of these boosting options while also continually checking Abra. However, Swablu suffers from weak offensive stats, although this is partially compensated for by high Base Power attacks and a limited but adequate offensive movepool.
