Strategy Overview
Sawsbuck is a decent sweeper due to its two great abilities: Sap Sipper, which gives it an immunity to Grass-type attacks and boosts its Attack by one stage when it is hit by one, and Chlorophyll, which doubles Sawsbuck's Speed in the sun. Sawsbuck receives competition from Grass-types such as Leafeon; however, it has a niche in its Normal typing, which grants it the ability to hit opposing Grass-types such as Roselia hard with its STAB Normal-type move of choice. Its decent base 95 Speed allows it to be an effective Choice Scarf user. Sawsbuck has good offensive type coverage and it is quite difficult to wall after a Swords Dance. Unfortunately, Sawsbuck isn't too fast for a sweeper when out of the sun, its typing gives it 6 weaknesses to very common attacking types, and its poor defenses mean it's relatively easy to revenge kill.
