Stats at lvl 100 w/ perfect IVs:
HP : 374
Defense : 303
Speed : 150

Support Purpose : reduce damage allies take from all attacks, reduce likelihood of emboar landing attacks

Strategy: ratio of chilling waters to mud-slaps can be roughly equal, but if allies are also debuffing atk or accuracy, you can focus more on the thing that they aren't doing. use chilling water and/or mud-slap until your stats reset. 3x iron defense. shore up when HP drops below half. use chilling water and/or mud-slap until allies KO. do not terastalize.

Pros: great HP stat, excellent def stat, outspeeds emboar, no weaknesses. immune to wild charge and drain punch. resists head smash. mud-slap lowers accuracy 1 stage through shield. covert cloak prevents burns (normally 10% chance) from flare blitz, chilling water debuffs atk 1 stage through shield while charging tera orb. iron defense buffs 2 def stages. shore up heals half of bar.

Cons: none

Overall Rating: 9/10
