Strategy Overview

Stoutland under sand is one of the scariest Pokemon that offensive teams can face. With an Adamant nature and a Choice Band, it hits extremely hard, especially with its STAB Return. It has the coverage to hit Pokemon that resist Return, such as Superpower and Crunch, making it very difficult to wall. It also has access to Pursuit, allowing it to trap and revenge kill frailer offensive Pokemon. However, Stoutland needs sand up to function effectively at all, giving it a mandatory partner in Gigalith. It is extremely prediction reliant; if the opponent predicts correctly by switching in Rock-, Steel-, or Ghost-types, Stoutland can be forced out, which loses momentum for the player. Finally, while Stoutland is extremely powerful, it fails to OHKO many offensive threats such as Mega Blastoise and Necrozma.
