Strategy Overview

Stoutland is able to distinguish itself from other Pokemon in the PU metagame with its high Attack stat, good bulk, and access to great abilities in Scrappy and Sand Rush. Thanks to Scrappy, Stoutland is a fearsome wallbreaker due to the fact that it isn't forced to predict around Ghost-types and can use its Normal-type STAB moves freely. Stoutland can also take advantage of Sand Rush to double its Speed under sandstorm, making it an incredibly fast and strong sweeper. These two abilities make Stoutland very effective against defensive and offensive teams, respectively. Stoutland also has great natural bulk, meaning it can avoid being revenge killed by faster Pokemon such as Floatzel and Zebstrika. On the downside, Stoutland faces competition from Dodrio, which is faster and has access to a stronger secondary STAB move in Brave Bird, and Bouffalant, which can break through certain Normal checks better with Swords Dance and Earthquake. Stoutland also has a mediocre Speed tier meaning it can easily be revenge killed by Pokemon such as Leafeon and Monferno.
