Strategy Overview

Floatzel is one of the premier offensive Pokemon in the tier. Its high offensive stats, great Speed, and very expansive coverage combined with high unpredictability make it a great option on balanced and offensive teams. It can function as both a wallbreaker and cleaner, can run physical or special sets, has support options and priority, and can function as an effective mixed attacking lure. This, combined with the lack of Pokemon that resist its moves, makes it an incredibly potent attacker. Its few drawbacks are being slower than only the common Zebstrika and somewhat rarer Electrode and Ninjask and its occasionally underwhelming power and slightly weak coverage options.
