Strategy Overview
Bellibolt bounces its way into RU as a good defensive Pokemon in the tier, taking on powerful threats such as Galarian Zapdos and Bisharp. Bellibolt's moveset is very flexible, letting it aid its team in a variety of ways. Unlike other walls, Bellibolt can cripple switch-ins with Static, keep up momentum with Volt Switch, simultaneously damage opponents while healing with Parabolic Charge, and force out Pokemon that would usually beat it such as Ground-types like Hippowdon with Muddy Water. Static is a great ability on Bellibolt to punish physical attackers and the many U-turns in the tier. Bellibolt's main issue is that it struggles against bulky Steel-types such as Magnezone and Hisuian Goodra, as they can easily tank its hits and make progress against it. Despite it having options against them, Ground-types are also a pain for Bellibolt, as if they can get in against it, they can do large damage with Earthquake and threaten it out. Bellibolt can also be overwhelmed by strong neutral attacks such as Galarian Zapdos's Close Combat and Bisharp's Throat Chop, as its typing doesn't give it many resistances.
