Arghonaut is the premier Spikes setter in the CAP metagame. Thanks to Arghonaut's great defensive typing, which grants it a resistance to Stealth Rock, and bulk, it gets many opportunities to switch into Pokemon such as Heatran, Volkraken, and Ash-Greninja and set Spikes. Furthermore, Arghonaut has alternative support options, such as Knock Off, Earthquake to consistently check Heatran and threaten Electric-types, and Circle Throw to quickly rack up chip damage with Spikes. Its ability, Unaware, allows it to constantly wall Pokemon such as Naviathan and Mega Charizard X. Argonaut pairs particularly well with Grass-types such as Tangrowth and Jumbao, which can check Electric-types. Furthermore, Steel-types like Celesteela and Magearna are useful to check Fairy- and Flying-type Pokemon.
