Strategy Overview

Despite a great movepool, Dunsparce has a bad defensive typing, is very susceptible to status, and has terrible stats, which mean that it's completely unable to viably fulfill any role. Miltank is a much more consistent defensive Normal-type, while Alcremie, Cofagrigus, and Klinklang are better bulky setup sweepers. They are able to play around common ways to deal with defensive sweepers like Toxic and Taunt thanks to their respective traits.
