Strategy Overview
Fletchinder has an excellent ability in Gale Wings, giving +1 priority to Acrobatics and Roost and making it a great late-game cleaner. Though Fletchinder has a mediocre Attack stat, its access to Swords Dance mitigates this issue. Despite having a decent defensive typing, Fletchinder's frailty prevents it from taking too many hits, although it is able to set up on various Pokemon that can't OHKO it, such as Escavalier and Hitmontop. It also has a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock, which takes away 50% of its health, meaning that Fletchinder always requires being paired with specific teammates that are able to remove entry hazards.
