Strategy Overview

Fighting

Emboar is unique on Fighting teams in its ability to be a good Fairy-neutral special attack sponge that is immune to getting burned. Compared to fellow Assault Vest users like Iron Hands and Gallade, however, it lacks a useful secondary offensive typing that allows it to break through common Fighting-resistant Pokemon. Due to this, it is usually better to use the aforementioned Pokemon over Emboar to prevent one's Fighting team from struggling against common threats like Primarina, Azumarill, and Toxapex.
