Strategy Overview

Frogadier stands out as a stellar offensive pivot, revenge killer, and, if it's running Heavy-Duty Boots, the best Spikes setter of the metagame thanks to its versatile movepool and great Speed tier. These traits cement Frogadier as a centerpiece in the metagame's most dominant structures, particularly entry hazard-stacking teams with Spikes. Choice Specs Frogadier's offensive potential is matched by few, and the Choice Scarf variant is the fastest Pokemon in the metagame, making it one of the most effective revenge killers. However, it's limited by Thwackey and Water-types, though the latter can be hindered by Choice item variants' Switcheroo.
