Strategy Overview

Avalugg is listed as an unviable option in SS ZU due to its awful Special Defense and mediocre typing, which hold it back from performing a defensive role well. This makes it greatly outclassed as an entry hazard remover by the likes of Cryogonal and Articuno, since they have better overall stats and useful abilities. As a physical wall, Miltank and Tangela are preferred because they aren't as weak to the super common Knock Off and Toxic, have better movepools, stat distribution, and are able to handle some of the most common physical attackers in the tier like Sawk and Klinklang.
