Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings
✔ Strengths & how to use
It shines as a Closer late-game, once shields are spent.
It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples White Kyurem(#5) · Dialga (Origin)(#10) · Zamazenta (Crowned Shield)(#20), giving it real value as a meta counter.
On defense it double-resists Bug · Dragon · resists Normal · Grass · Ice · Poison · Flying · Psychic etc, holding up well against those attackers.
⚠ Weaknesses & threats
On defense it is weak to Fire · Ground, so watch out for those attackers.
High attack but thin bulk means shield management heavily decides its games.
It's notably unfavored into Groudon (usage rank #19), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
