Strategy Overview

Dewgong is outclassed by other defensive Water-types such as Prinplup and Politoed, as the former has access to Defog and Stealth Rock while the latter has better typing and Scald to wear down its checks. Dewgong has access to Perish Song, which allows it to force out opposing Pokemon, but this means that it has to repeatedly switch in and out, and its weakness to Stealth Rock does not help it. In addition to this, Dewgong lacks a source of reliable recovery outside of Rest, and it cannot run an offensive set, as it is outclassed by other offensive Water-types such as Simipour and Floatzel.
