Kabuto

Kabuto has a niche in being a Rapid Spin user that can also set up Stealth Rock, allowing it to perform two major roles in a team. Kabuto also has access to Knock Off, which allows it to remove foes' Eviolites and hit the Ghost-types that try and block Rapid Spin. Its useful Water typing allows it to beat many common leads like Onix and Dwebble, as well as giving it resistances to common types like Fire, Poison, and Flying. With a solid Defense stat and Rock typing, Kabuto becomes a decent Flying-type check; while it is weak to Fighting, Kabuto survives a Jump Kick from Doduo, a Superpower from Bulk Up Rufflet, and two Knock Offs from Vullaby while OHKOing Doduo and Rufflet and 2HKOing Vullaby with Rock Slide. Kabuto has a good Attack stat that allows it to beat Drilbur and Life Orb Diglett with Waterfall. After it is activated, Weak Armor allows Kabuto to outspeed Pokemon such as Doduo and Rufflet. Despite its good defensive prowess, its special bulk is lackluster, making it lose to many mixed and special attackers like Staryu, Foongus, and Spritzee. While it is a decent Flying-type check, a poor defensive typing also gives it weaknesses to common Fighting-, Electric-, and Grass-type moves. Kabuto also faces competition from other Rapid Spin users such as Staryu and Drilbur and other Stealth Rock setters such as Dwebble and Onix, which have better Speed stats, offensive presences, and defensive typings.
