Strategy Overview

Probopass is one of the best pivots in PU thanks to its access to Volt Switch along with its high bulk and typing, as they allow it to check a variety of special threats; however, it loses to common Ground-types and coverage moves but still manages to take on physical attackers that don't have Ground-type coverage moves. Probopass works nicely both on offensive and defensive teams because it can run various sets thanks to access to both Sturdy and Magnet Pull, various utility moves, and decent coverage. Probopass's lack of firepower on defensive sets is compensated most of the time by the utility it provides, which mainly consists of crippling the enemy team with residual damage or slowing it down with Thunder Wave; however, Probopass still lacks any form of reliable recovery, so it shouldn't take unnecessary damage and get worn down.
