[OVERVIEW]
While Bergmite might seem like a good defensive spinner thanks to its high physical bulk and access to Recover, its typing dashes any hope it has of being viable. Being a pure Ice-type, Bergmite is weak to many common offensive Pokemon in LC, such as Timburr and Ponyta, as well as the Stealth Rock it's supposed to remove. Its poor special bulk and lack of any significant offensive pressure isn't doing it any favors either. Staryu is a much better option for a Rapid Spinner, as it has a much better typing and better offensive prowess as well as access to Recover.
[SET]
name: Bulky Spinner
move 1: Rapid Spin
move 2: Recover
move 3: Avalanche
move 4: Toxic
item: Eviolite
ability: Sturdy
nature: Impish
evs: 44 Atk / 156 Def / 236 SpD / 52 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
This set tries to act as a bulky Rapid Spinner with good longevity due to Recover. However, its terrible typing and lacking offensive capabilities makes it generally ineffective. Staryu’s superior typing and special bulk, as well as its greater offensive presence, make it a far better user of a set like this.
