✔ Strengths & how to use

• Its Lead · Closer role scores are all high, so it isn't tied to one slot and can flex across positions.
• It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Empoleon(#19), giving it real value as a meta counter.
• On defense it double-resists Grass · Ground · resists Fire · Water · Fighting · Bug, holding up well against those attackers.
• Solid bulk lets it stall and grind out advantage in extended fights.

⚠ Weaknesses & threats

• On defense it is doubly weak to Ice · is weak to Rock · Dragon · Fairy, so watch out for those attackers.
• It's notably unfavored into Tinkaton (usage rank #2), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
