Strategy Overview

Carbink is faster and has greater overall bulk than most Stealth Rock users and lacks common 4x weaknesses, making it a viable choice as a Stealth Rock and sun setter in PU. Carbink's defensive typing means that it is a good check to attackers such as Ursaring and Stoutland, and its ability, Sturdy, lets it set up something even against foes that would OHKO it. It can also run a RestTalk set that enables it to last throughout the match and set up against the powerful foes that do not threaten it such as Stoutland and Dodrio. However, its lacking movepool does it no favors, and its overall bulk is undermined by a poor HP stat. Additionally, its typing leaves it with no shortage of weaknesses to types such as Grass, Water, and Ground. Finally, poor offensive presence renders it setup fodder, and it has no reliable recovery, so it is forced to run the aforementioned RestTalk set if it wants any longevity.
