Strategy Overview
Vanillite has a decent Special Attack stat and ways of boosting its Speed, but its bad defensive typing, shallow movepool, and poor bulk make it very underwhelming. Vullaby, Clamperl, and Shellder are better Speed-boosting sweepers than Vanillite, while Amaura, Alolan Vulpix, and Alolan Sandshrew are better Ice-types. Because a variety of more viable Pokemon directly outclass Vanillite, it should not be considered for serious teams.
