Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings
✔ Strengths & how to use
High matchup stability gives it even, reliable performance across a wide field.
It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Zacian (Crowned Sword)(#1) · Mega Metagross(#16) · Zamazenta (Crowned Shield)(#20), giving it real value as a meta counter.
On defense it double-resists Grass · Bug · resists Fire · Fighting · Ground · Steel · Fairy, holding up well against those attackers.
⚠ Weaknesses & threats
On defense it is doubly weak to Rock · is weak to Water · Electric, so watch out for those attackers.
That said, it's unfavored into threats like Mega Rayquaza, so avoid that head-to-head.
