Mantine

Mantine's good typing, good bulk, access to reliable recovery, and access to Defog make it a decent Pokemon in UU. Mantine is one of the best defensive answers to physical threats such as Cobalion and Infernape due to its typing. It also has a great Special Defense stat that allows it to absorb hits from strong special attackers such as Hydreigon. Those traits, paired with its ability to threaten Stealth Rock users such as Hippowdon with Toxic and Scald, allow Mantine to control hazards effectively. However, Mantine is passive and should be avoided on more offensive teams, as it can’t maintain momentum well. It also has a weakness to Stealth Rock, which hinders its role as a wall and can be taken advantage of by strong physical attackers, such as Mamoswine, Lucario, and even Pokemon that it would usually check such as Choice Band Infernape. Mantine has a 4x weakness to Electric, allowing Pokemon such as Mega Manectric to pressure it and prevent it from exerting its role.
