Strategy Overview

Pyukumuku is the sole viable user of Unaware in ZU, which makes it a key Pokemon for stall teams. Unaware paired with impressive bulk allows Pyukumuku to confront a lot of Pokemon in the tier, such as Kecleon, Crustle, and Rapidash. However, Pyukumuku's shallow movepool doesn't pack any offensive move, making it unable to wall any Pokemon that packs Taunt or Substitute such as Floatzel or Vigoroth. This also means that Pyukumuku relies on Toxic and PP stalling to wear down opposing Pokemon. Its passive nature allows Pokemon such as Probopass and Komala to freely come on the field and set or remove entry hazards. Pyukumuku also has a hard time against a lot of wallbreakers such as Electivire and Pinsir because the former three have a super effective STAB move, whereas Mold Breaker Pinsir ignores Unaware.
