[Overview]
<p> After Blastoise marched into UU with pride, the RU community turned its attention to Wartortle. Although disregarded by much of the tier, Wartortle can hold its own in battle. Despite the lack of an offensive presence, Wartortle can use Rapid Spin to a powerful extent quite effectively. Although many claim Wartorlte does not posses the required bulk, it can indeed become a formidable opponent when combined with Eviolite. With respectable bulk, good typing, and a decent movepool, Wartortle is ready to take on the world. </p>

[SET COMMENTS]
<p>This is undoubtedly Wartortle’'{Comma}s best attempt at honoring making up for Blastoise’'{Comma}s presence absence. With Foresight in your its grasp, you Wartortle can take down Spinblockers that would otherwise destroy Wartortle it. Scald aids in taking down physical sweepers with a possibility of burning them, as well as providing decent STAB coverage. If you want a safer, more stall-type set, then it would be smarter to utilize Yawn as a way to put your opponents to sleep,;{Semicolon} which will often force opponents to switch out, making it a very good idea to use entry hazards. If you desire a more offensive approach, then equip Ice Beam for fantastic coverage. With an EV spread that maximizes physical bulk, you’ll Wartortle will be taking more hits than you would think. </p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p> Wartortle could can also function with a more specially defensive set with 252 HP / 224 Def / 32 SpD, but it’s really much better recommended to go physical due to the popularity of predominantly physical types such as Fighting-types. If you’re using Wartortle on a Rain- (delete space)based team, then you should use Rain Dish as a makeshift Leftovers. If not, Torrent shall suffice. Wartortle’s Bold nature capitalizes on it’s physical bulk, while Modest could generate a slightly more noticeable offensive presence. Wartortle is works much better with various support options such as Wish support from Pokemon like such as Clefable or Leafeon. Entry Hazards, as mentioned before, help deal additional damage when foes are forced to switch out. Pokemon with the abilities Sap Sipper and Volt Absorb help defensively, as they can utilize Wartortle's weaknesses to their advantage. Pokemon such as Ferroseed and Tangrowth also help defensively (mention why [perhaps mention how they can sponge grass- and electric-type attacks aimed at Wartortle and set up the hazards which Wartortle can take advantage of with yawn] ). It's also a good idea to carry easier to have Pokemon that normally suffer from a Stealth Rock weakness such as Charizard and Syther.; {Semicolon} as Wartortle can eliminate the threat of Stealth Rock and help maximize the durability of these teammates.</p>
[Other Options]
<p> Wartortle’'{Comma}s movepool and stats distribution only allow it to function as a Spinner limit what it can pull off effectively. However, Wartortle has been gifted with several other useable moves. Toxic hints at the stall-type approach, and will wear out and take down enemies. Iron Defense, along with the combination of Aqua Ring and Leftovers, hint at the stalling tactic yet again. Aqua Jet and Fake Out serve as priority attacks, and Haze can be used to stop boosters in their tracks. These moves are Wartortle’s only other viable tactics in battle. </p>
[Checks and Counters]
<p> Bulky waters such as Poliwrath and Walrein take very little damage from Wartortle’'{Comma}s attacks, and can strike back with incredible force. Grass-types such as Ferroseed and Sceptile wall the blue tortoise, and can hit hard retaliate with super effective STAB attacks. Electric-types that include the likes of such as Galvantula, Manetric, and Electivire may not be able to wall Wartortle, but can attack hard and fast with super effective STAB moves. </p>
