Strategy Overview

Toucannon is the strongest Flying-type in PU and sports extremely strong coverage. Boomburst and Brave Bird make Toucannon a tough Pokemon to switch into due to their high Base Power, and coverage moves such as Bullet Seed and Overheat allow Toucannon to pressure common Flying-type checks, such as Regirock, extremely well. However, Toucannon's lack of Speed and bulk also makes it very underwhelming against offensive teams and makes it hard to get off an attack at all. Toucannon is also prone to being revenge killed easily and worn down by Life Orb, Stealth Rock, and Brave Bird recoil. Most importantly though, Toucannon is extremely inferior to Dodrio, which is much faster, nearly as strong, and able to effectively run Swords Dance and Choice Scarf sets.
