Strategy Overview

Litwick's good Special Attack and low Speed make it an ideal candidate for Trick Room teams. Its Fire / Ghost typing is quite useful offensively, and it has two useful abilities in Flash Fire and Infiltrator. However, Litwick is significantly hampered by its poor defensive typing, which leaves it quite vulnerable to Pokemon it can't OHKO. In addition, it's weak to Stealth Rock and susceptible to all entry hazards, further exacerbating its frailty. These factors, coupled with its low Speed, make it a poor choice outside of Trick Room teams.
