Strategy Overview
Numel has decent offensive stats, which are just enough to allow it to function well as a mixed attacker. Thanks to a unique ability, Simple, it can also become quite the terrifying sweeper as the receiver in a Baton Pass chain. However, while Numel is no slouch offensively, it does have low defenses, meaning it is quite easy to knock out. It is also weak to Water- and Ground-type attacks, which are incredibly common in the LC tier. Nonetheless, Numel, when given the correct support, can be beneficial to your team.
