[OVERVIEW]
Wormadam-G looks remarkably like a slice of pizza—more so than any other Pokemon. This means that it could be a tasty snack for your teammates once they get weakened and need more energy. However, it is still terrible at being a pizza, as it is a "sandy" forme, so it will taste worse than the bitter feeling of defeat that you get after losing when you use this Pokemon. It should be noted that the bagworm is the lightest fully evolved Pokemon (and the only pizza) that learns Fissure. That's right, the 2078.7-lb (942.9-kg) Mega Metagross, 1653.5-lb (750.0-kg) Giratina, and 1631.4-lb (740.0-kg) Mega Steelix do not learn Fissure, but a 14.3-lb (6.5-kg) slice of pizza can terrorize a city with one.

Moves
========
Does this set look familiar? Yes, that is because Golem can do the exact same thing but not suck completely. If you need a more detailed summary of the moves you should go to the [Golem analysis](http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/pokemon/golem/), as you might be able to get some use out of the Pokemon slot.
Set Details
========
Maximum Attack investment and an Adamant nature let Wormadam-G actually do some damage, and the HP EVs allow it to survive a hit from quite a few physical attackers. Leftovers provides some passive recovery, which Wormadam-G otherwise lacks.
Usage Tips
========
When it's not out massacring opposing teams, Wormadam-G should just try to set up Stealth Rock. You will be lucky if it ends up doing anything other than maybe dealing some chip damage with Sucker Punch or possibly Rock Blasting an obvious Pelipper switch-in. To ensure that Wormadam-G gets up Stealth Rock, try to switch it into a weak physical attacker. Wormadam-G can switch into the odd physical attacker, such as Arbok lacking Aqua Tail or Golem on a resisted move, but plenty can 2HKO it with their STAB moves.
Team Options
========
If building with Wormadam-G, you might notice that your team is limited to five slots to accomplish what you usually need six for. This means you need to have a Water-type check, a role fulfilled by Pokemon such as Roselia and Poliwrath, and a Fire-type check, examples of which include Pokemon such as Grumpig and Pelipper. Wormadam-G also appreciates Flying-type checks such as Probopass and Electabuzz and Ice-type checks such as Piloswine and Ninetales. If you have to use Wormadam-G, it should only be on a balanced or offensive team to make your other Pokemon seem stronger.

Other Options
=============
You can add pepperoni with Bug Bite as a Bug-type STAB move to hit Grass-types, but that is still weak. A Hawaiian Pizza set with Choice Band can make Wormadam-G hit somewhat hard, but you lose the utility of Stealth Rock. Lastly, you can use a Veggie Supreme set, which is a defensive set with Toxic; this utilizes Wormadam-G's Defense, its only good stat, but it is almost always just setup fodder.
Checks and Counters
===================
**Water-types**: Every offensive Water-type, such as Basculin and Simipour, OHKOes Wormadam, and even defensive ones, such as Pelipper, which can also remove Stealth Rock, can 2HKO it. Most bulky Water-types, Poliwrath included, can switch into Wormadam-G and not take much from an Earthquake.
**Bulky Pokemon**: Defensive Pokemon such as Avalugg and Torterra take minimal damage from any move Wormadam can go for and can wear it down with attacks or, in the case of Avalugg, remove its entry hazards with Rapid Spin. Bulky setup sweepers such as Duosion and Vigoroth easily set up on Wormadam-G.
**Most Pokemon**: Other than Wobbuffet, most Pokemon can usually 2HKO Wormadam-G with ease. Yes, this includes even Lunatone.
