Strategy Overview

Mothim is in almost every way outclassed by Bellossom as a Quiver Dance user with its better bulk and access to Strength Sap. That being said, Mothim's small niche lies in its better mixed stats that allow it to hit hard with both offenses. Choice Specs sets can hit very hard with Tinted Lens, though it still struggles to KO bulkier Pokemon like Jellicent and Lanturn and also faces competition from stronger Choice Specs users like Drampa, Aurorus, and the aforementioned Jellicent. It is also hindered by its low Speed and horrible Bug / Flying typing, but not all Pokemon can be winners.
