Strategy Overview
- Cresselia is a staple of the Battle Spot Doubles format and one of its best tanks with its insane 120/120/130 defenses.
- It has a great ability in Levitate, making it immune to all Ground-type moves thusmaking it a great switch-in to Landorus-T and other Tectonic Rage users.
- With its respectable Speed tier, Cresselia can be effective in and out of Trick Room.
- A relatively low Special Attack stat means a lot of times it can be a sitting duck.
- With only weak Psychic- and Ice-type attacks, Cresselia is easily walled by Dark- and Steel-type Pokemon.
