Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings

✔ 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 Mega Gyarados(#6) · Palkia (Origin)(#12) · Mega Garchomp(#21), giving it real value as a meta counter.
On defense it double-resists Fighting · Ground · resists Grass · Psychic, holding up well against those attackers.
Solid bulk lets it stall and grind out advantage in extended fights.
⚠ Weaknesses & threats
On defense it is weak to Electric · Ice · Rock · Ghost · Dark, so watch out for those attackers.
It's notably unfavored into Mega Mewtwo Y (usage rank #2), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
