Strategy Overview
Skrelp's STAB moves have good coverage and are resisted by few Pokemon, making it a great offensive Pokemon. Its decent bulk and typing, which gives it eight resistances, allow it to survive many hits with ease. Also, its ability Adaptability lets it hit harder. However, Skrelp is weak to common types, such as Ground and Electric; it also has a low Speed stat and a small movepool. Furthermore, its only form of recovery is the unreliable Rest, making it reliant on Wish support.
