Togedemaru

Togedemaru is an unorthodox Trick Room attacker that functions best at Level 1, underspeeding the entire metagame and using a combination of Sturdy, Endeavor, and extremely low HP to whittle its targets down to KO range. Additionally, Togedemaru has access to Fake Out, which can help a partner set up Trick Room, as well as a decent pool of utility moves such as Encore.

There is little room for error when using Togedemaru, however; with its non-existent bulk, Togedemaru is fodder to double targeting and also struggles to find a clean opportunity to switch into the field. Furthermore, chip damage from Stealth Rock and hail is fatal to Togedemaru, as this invalidates its Sturdy ability and makes any incoming hit an OHKO. Togedemaru is also generally a less effective Fake Out supporter compared to Incineroar and Scrafty, both of which are much better at taking hits and getting into a good position to provide support.
