Pancham

Pancham's access to Parting Shot in combination with its solid bulk and great Attack turns it into an excellent pivot capable of easily giving setup sweepers a free switch. Its wide movepool also includes Swords Dance, which can potentially turn it into a powerful wallbreaker or, with Sticky Web support, even a sweeper, and good coverage options such as Gunk Shot and Zen Headbutt, setting it apart from other Fighting-types.

However, despite these unique traits, Pancham faces stiff competition as a Fighting-type from Mienfoo and Timburr, of which the former is faster and has Regenerator, giving it a form of recovery, and the latter has Guts and priority in Mach Punch, mitigating its low Speed and giving it an easier time setting up. Pancham also suffers from a low Speed stat, which means it is usually forced to take a hit before attacking and thus easily worn down.
