Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings
✔ Strengths & how to use
Its role scores peak on Lead, making it well-suited to seizing early tempo.
It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Zacian (Crowned Sword)(#2) · White Kyurem(#5) · Dialga (Origin)(#10), giving it real value as a meta counter.
On defense it double-resists Normal · Fighting · Bug · resists Poison · Rock, holding up well against those attackers.
⚠ Weaknesses & threats
On defense it is weak to Flying · Psychic · Ghost · Fairy, so watch out for those attackers.
High attack but thin bulk means shield management heavily decides its games.
It's notably unfavored into Ho-Oh (usage rank #12), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
GBL Note verdict
