Strategy Overview
- Thanks to Competitive, which raises Special Attack by two stages each time a stat is lowered, Milotic easily takes advantage of the abundance of Intimidate users, forcing the likes of Gyarados, Salamence, and Arcanine to think twice about coming in.
- However, while a Milotic with a Competitive boost can be a huge threat, a Milotic without one can't hit very hard at all thanks to its rather average Special Attack, preventing it from doing much other than fishing for Scald burns or using Toxic.
- Its high Special Defense in conjunction with Mirror Coat does enable it to threaten opposing special attackers even if it doesn't have a Competitive boost, but it still otherwise struggles to do much against anything it doesn't hit super effectively without a Competitive boost.
- If Competitive is unneeded, Milotic faces lots of competition from other Water-types such as Gastrodon, Gyarados, and Araquanid.
