Strategy Overview
Castform may have a wide variety of support and coverage moves at its disposal, but it lacks the stats to utilize them properly. Worse still, it relies on having the right weather up to even get STAB on a lot of these moves, meaning it has no breaking power outside of weather, and thanks to its weak offensive stats, it still hits like a wet paper bag even with weather up. Its low Speed tier and lack of a Speed-boosting ability means it's easily revenge-killed. Please refrain from using Castform on any serious team and just use Ludicolo instead.
