Strategy Overview
Chesnaught is one of the best defensive Spikers in the tier. It boasts a base 122 Defense stat and has access to support moves such as Leech Seed and Spiky Shield, letting it take on many physical threats very well. Bulletproof makes it immune to moves such as Sludge Bomb that would normally put a big dent into it, allowing it to shut down threats such as Roserade without Hidden Power Fire and Chandelure locked into Shadow Ball. All those aside, Chesnaught is slow and has a poor Special Defense stat, so many decently fast special attackers can threaten it out.
