Strategy Overview
Drowzee's niche lies in its fantastic special bulk, which, when combined with its Psychic typing, lets it beat common special attackers such as Abra and Skrelp. A decent ability in Insomnia also makes it a great counter to Foongus. Furthermore, Drowzee has a decent movepool with support and attacking options such as Thunder Wave and Shadow Ball. However, Drowzee is slow, very passive, and weak to the common Knock Off, causing it to lose momentum. In addition, Drowzee is reliant on Wish for recovery, making it more vulnerable to status and taking up an additional moveslot.
