Strategy Overview

Though seemingly outclassed by both Kangaskhan and Tauros, who are bulkier and have greater attacking prowess, Stantler does have a much wider movepool that keeps his opponents guessing. Complemented with his good Attack, this turns Stantler into a potent offensive force; this also makes Stantler a good user of the ParaFusion technique, while Intimidate helps soften physical blows. His diverse movepool doesn't stop there; Stantler has a variety of good support options such as Gravity, Thunder Wave, and Trick Room, along with the defenses to use them.
