Strategy Overview
Armaldo may look appealing to use thanks to its high Attack and access to Knock Off and Rapid Spin. However, its horrific Speed, lack of reliable recovery, and many defensive weaknesses make it a poor utility Pokemon. It is outclassed by other utility Pokemon like Kabutops and Coalossal, since both of them have better typings and movepools to use.
