Strategy Overview

Woobat has access to a useful ability in Simple, which allows it to quickly become a threatening Calm Mind sweeper. While it does have good Speed, the rest of its stats are rather mediocre, meaning it's nearly dead weight without any stat boosts. Its low bulk is also an issue, limiting its setup opportunities, not to mention its typing, which leaves it weak to Knock Off and Stealth Rock. Woobat requires heavy team support to be used effectively, but its unique abilities and movepool certainly give it a solid niche in the metagame.
