Is Forretress Bad? | Pokemon Crystal Solo Challenge

I've had my eye on this one a while. Is it morbid curiosity or is it the fact that this little guy is always tanky in Koga's Elite 4 battle? Let's see if there's anything to this Pokemon in today's Crystal challenge.

Addendum:
►My understanding of Rollout wasn't the best in this footage. After this, I wanted to display effective power of Rollout and through my research here's the facts. One Defense Curl will boost all other Rollouts and you do not need to use it again. Effective power also caps at 999, meaning if I have the Hard Stone equiped and Defense Curl used, the 5th hit isn't 1,056 effective power. It just caps at 999.
