Strategy Overview

  • Premier special tank of Middle Cup that comfortably walls most special attackers in the metagame
  • Great supporting movepool
  • Can surprisingly pull off an effective offensive set thanks to Download and access to Agility
  • Fits every playstyle because of how effective it is
  • Gets bulldozed by common physical attackers and hates being statused
  • Set-up bait for most hazard setters, specifically Whirlipede and Piloswine
