Strategy Overview
Finneon is one of only a handful of Pokemon in LC to have access to the move Defog without being weak to Stealth Rock. With its decent bulk and high Speed, Finneon is able to use the move well. Finneon also has access to U-turn, meaning after it has cleared the field of entry hazards, it can preserve momentum by switching out. Although Finneon can use a fast Defog to support its team, a lack of recovery prevents it from being able to repeatedly remove entry hazards. It also finds itself outclassed in other roles by Pokemon such as Chinchou, meaning its set can be predictable. This is further compounded by its limited offensive presence, as it has access to few special attacking moves along with a mediocre Special Attack stat. However, Finneon is able to take on opposing Stealth Rock users such as Drilbur and Archen quite well, meaning it can keep entry hazards off the field better than other Defoggers.
