Strategy Overview

Thanks to its good Eviolite-boosted bulk and unique typing, Piloswine finds its place in the RU metagame as a reliable Stealth Rock setter that beats common entry hazard removers such as Flygon and Togetic. Piloswine has a great STAB combination that allows it to hit a large portion of the metagame for super effective damage. Piloswine also checks Electric-types, due to most of them having weak coverage moves to hit Piloswine with. Although it does have pitiful Speed, Piloswine somewhat remedies this issue with its access to Ice Shard, which allows Piloswine to pick off weakened foes. However, because Piloswine relies on its Eviolite for its bulk, it is susceptible to Knock Off. Piloswine is also weak to common Water- and Fighting-types such as Jellicent, Seismitoad, and Hitmonlee.
