Strategy Overview
- Oranguru is a Pokemon designed to set up Trick Room for its teammates.
- Once Trick Room is set, Oranguru can proceed to use Instruct, a move unique to it that allows its teammate to use powerful moves twice in one turn.
- A large number of relevant Pokemon can function well in Trick Room, including Alolan Marowak, Hariyama, and Celesteela.
- Its typing gives it only one immunity and one resistance, and it is reliant on teammates for its matchups.
- In addition, repeated neutral hits will quickly KO it, and its lack of recovery is a liability.
- If your team requires a Trick Room setter but cannot make good use of Instruct, then Porygon2 is a better choice.
