✔ Strengths & how to use

• On defense it double-resists Psychic · resists Normal · Fire · Poison · Flying · Ghost · Dark, holding up well against those attackers.

⚠ Weaknesses & threats

• On defense it is doubly weak to Fighting · is weak to Water · Grass · Ground · Bug · Steel · Fairy, so watch out for those attackers.
