Strategy Overview
Chimchar is most commonly used as a suicide lead with Fake Out and Stealth Rock while holding a Focus Sash. However, it struggles against the likes of opposing Stealth Rock setters such as Dwebble and Tirtouga. Its own weakness to Stealth Rock means that it struggles to come in repeatedly to reset the entry hazard. Without the longevity, speed, or raw power of other Stealth Rock setters, Chimchar is not worth wasting a team slot on.
