Strategy Overview
Pangoro's high Attack stat, great STAB combination, useful movepool, and ability Iron Fist make it a powerful wallbreaker and late-game sweeper capable of threatening Pokemon like Rhydon, Slowking, and Palossand. Swords Dance allows it break walls like Weezing and Vaporeon as well as sweep late-game with Bullet Punch, KOing revenge killers like Aerodactyl, Sneasel, and Sceptile. Pangoro can also use Choice Band to get an immediate Attack boost, making it a deadly threat right off the bat. However, due to its low Speed, unimpressive bulk, and weaknesses to common attacking types like Fighting and Fairy, it is hard for Pangoro to find an opportunity to set up Swords Dance. For this reason, it faces competition from other wallbreakers like Incineroar and Passimian, which are faster and bring more utility to the table, making them easier to fit them on a team.
