Strategy Overview

Wynaut can be one of the most annoying Pokemon to fight against. With access to an amazing ability in Shadow Tag, great 95 / 48 / 48 defenses, and the ability to take down most threats with Mirror Coat and Counter, Wynaut is a solid Pokemon. Wynaut is a nice check to almost anything that lacks a super effective move against it. With Safeguard, it can also trap and counter slow walls such as Foongus, Lileep, and Slowpoke. Sadly, a solid part of the metagame can easily break through it, due to the abundance of Knock Off. However, Wynaut is still a great support Pokemon and a nice safety blanket against many Pokemon. Encore is also a great move in combination with Shadow Tag, and can greatly aid a teammate in setting up. Wynaut does a brilliant job in trapping and removing certain threats, while also helping teammates to switch in.
