- magic bounce is the only reason youre using this thing
- best on balance teams that need a hazard control mon that isnt total fodder for psychic-types
- not too shabby defenses
- typing gives it cool resistances, such as fighting, psychic, and an immunity to ground
- good check to virizion
- an unreliable switch to most stealth rock users
- weak to pretty much everything. total fodder to tons of stuff, such as glalie, tyrantrum, or houndoom
- pretty passive
