Strategy Overview

Gorebyss has a great boosting move in Shell Smash, an impressive base 114 Special Attack, and a great offensive movepool with Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, and Signal Beam, which make it a threatening sweeper. Gorebyss also has access to Swift Swim, making it really dangerous in rain. Due to its low Speed stat, however, Gorebyss fails to outspeed Choice Scarf Rotom and Rotom-S even at +2, making it vulnerable to being revenge killed, and has a hard time setting up against various Pokemon. Gorebyss also lacks special bulk, making it hard to set up against powerful special attackers such as Rotom, Lilligant, and Ludicolo.
