Poliwrath

Poliwrath's great overall bulk and fantastic typing allows it to handle many physical and special attackers, making it a unique Pokemon capable of patching up holes no other can. Its resistances and wide movepool allow Poliwrath to check popular threats such as Scrafty and Houndoom. Poliwrath's access to the rare move Circle Throw also makes it stand it out from other Water- and Fighting-types by limiting the amount of Pokemon that are capable of setting up on it. However, it is weak to common Grass- and Psychic-type moves and is generally passive, that allows very threatening Pokemon such as Meloetta, Sigilyph, and Venusaur to switch in and scare it out, often multiple times. Poliwrath also lacks reliable recovery, forcing it to rely on unreliable methods to keep itself healthy.
