Strategy Overview
Despite its good offensive typing and solid movepool, Swinub is held back by its poor bulk and Speed stat as well as a bad defensive typing. Swinub heavily competes with other Stealth Rock setters such as Onix and Tirtouga, the former of which has a higher Speed stat and the latter of which has higher offensive capabilities to pressure entry hazard removers. Both Onix and Tirtouga also have access to Sturdy and are able to switch into Flying-types such as Vullaby due to their higher physical bulk.
