Armaldo

Bug

Armaldo is the best entry hazard remover for Bug-type teams because of Rapid Spin and its ability to threaten common opposing hazard removers such as Crobat, Mantine, and Zapdos. Armaldo can also set up Stealth Rock for the team, along with being able to take on Flying-type Pokemon thanks to STAB Stone Edge. Armaldo is comparable to Forretress as a reliable hazard remover for Bug-type teams, but it is not weak to Fire-type attacks and isn't as passive. Its Rock typing notably allows it to take a V-create from Victini and hit it back with either Knock Off or Stone Edge. However, Armaldo is weak to Stealth Rock due to its Bug typing, it cannot remove hazards against Ghost-type Pokemon, and is weak to common offensive coverage such as Rock-type and Water-type attacks, forcing Armaldo to switch out often. In addition, Armaldo is not the strongest Pokemon and can be set up on very easily, by the likes of Swords Dance Mega Scizor and Calm Mind Mega Latias. Furthermore, since Armaldo has poor bulk and only base 75 HP, it is difficult for it to take on Pokemon that threaten most Bug-type Pokemon and still fulfill its role as a hazard remover for the team.
