Strategy Overview

Grass

Whimsicott finds niches with its Fairy typing, allowing it to take on Dragon-types, along with Prankster boosting its great utility movepool such as Encore, which enables it to lock targets like Dragonite and Skarmory into undesirable moves. However, Whimsicott's low stats outside of Speed leave much to be desired in terms of power, and its utility movepool can often be stifled by opposing Grass-types and bulky Dark-types such as Ogerpon-H and Alolan Muk, which will happily remove it.
