Strategy Overview
Knock Off is evil, Rapid Spin is always useful, and Hidden Power Bug OHKOes Starmie and Celebi. Armaldo can be both a deadly sweeper and an excellent supporter thanks to Knock Off and Rapid Spin, as it has one of the best physically offensive typings in Bug / Rock. However, its weakness to Surf can prove a handicap.
