Chespin

Chespin is a pretty weak Pokemon overall, but it has a few niches that allow it to remain usable in the current metagame. Chespin's ability, Bulletproof, allows it to counter several prominent Pokemon in LC like Foongus and Gastly that do not use Will-O-Wisp and Hex. Chespin can also set up Spikes while simultaneously having consistent recovery in Synthesis. In addition, it is able to check Ground-types like Drilbur and non-RestTalk Mudbray. Chespin's mono-Grass typing, however, makes it weak to both Flying- and Fire-types like Doduo, Rufflet, and Ponyta without being able to damage them very much. It also faces competition from other Spikes setters like Omanyte and Ferroseed, since they can set other entry hazards in addition to Spikes. Chespin is also very mediocre stat-wise, and it faces competition both offensively and defensively from Pokemon like Pumpkaboo-XL, Ferroseed, and Foongus. Finally, Chespin's Speed is fairly low, which affects its ability to put offensive pressure on the opponent.
