Strategy Overview

Masquerain is an unfortunate Pokemon that is simply outclassed in everything it tries to do. As a Quiver Dance user, it's very weak and outclassed by Butterfree, which is much stronger and has Sleep Powder, and as a Sticky Web setter, it's wholly outdone by Leavanny, which has much better offensive presence. Additionally, Masquerain has an awful typing and very poor defensive stats, making it unable to effectively make use of Intimidate. It's reliant on Focus Sash to do anything, but Stealth Rock not only breaks it but also takes 50% of Masquerain's health. Furthermore, even if it does set up, its poor Speed leaves it very easy to revenge kill. Masquerain has unique coverage, but it is simply not worth using on any serious team.
