Bonsai Pokémon
Rock
It does not deal well with water, so it lives in dry locales. Since its surroundings tend to lack greenery, it stands out noticeably.

Strategy Overview
Bonsly is overwhelmingly outclassed in its role as a Stealth Rock user. It is utterly outclassed by Geodude, which boasts a better typing, better Speed, and the ability to viably run an Adamant nature, and Onix mostly outclasses Geodude thanks to its higher Speed and much higher versatility. Below these two Pokemon, Bonsly offers no redeeming qualities to differentiate itself from them, as the lessened weakness to Water- and Grass-type moves does not help it in any matchup, making it a completely unviable choice on any Little Cup team.
