Strategy Overview
- Torkoal has an unparalleled ability to deal heavy spread damage in Trick Room with sun-boosted Eruption, which deals heavy damage even to resisted targets without any need to predict.
- Torkoal benefits from strong Trick Room supporters in the metagame, such as Porygon2.
- However, it needs heavy team support in order to function properly.
- Torkoal is fairly one-dimesional, with few coverage options.
- It loses to opposing weather, mainly from Pelipper and Gigalith, and also loses much power versus Wide Guard Pokemon.
