Strategy Overview
Although it has access to U-turn and can use Stakeout to take advantage of forced switches and become a decently strong wallbreaker, there is very little reason to consider using Gumshoos over other, much more consistent Normal-types such as Stoutland and Kangaskhan. Aside from the competition Gumshoos faces as a Normal-type wallbreaker, it is also held back by its low Speed and mediocre defenses, as they limit its wallbreaking capabilities and make it rather easy to revenge kill.
