LC Bidoof

[rineko]

[OVERVIEW]
Bidoof's access to Simple-boosted Swords Dance and Curse may make it seem like a threatening wallbreaker, but its poor bulk and Speed detract from its ability to punch holes. Even though it has access to Quick Attack to make up for its low Speed, it simply isn't strong enough after a Swords Dance to net KOs. Thus, Bidoof finds itself completely outclassed by other Normal-types, such as Zigzagoon, whose access to Belly Drum + Extremespeed makes it a far stronger and threatening sweeper, and Bunnelby, which has a higher Speed stat and Huge Power to work better as a wallbreaker.

[SET COMMENTS]
Bidoof should make as much use of its ability Simple, so it should use Swords Dance to try to wallbreak or potentially clean with +4 Attack. However, Zigzagoon is able to maximize its Attack with Belly Drum and then proceed to clean up with a +2 priority Extreme Speed, while Bunnelby is able to wallbreak without a turn of setup and grab momentum with U-turn.

Mention Curse after SD in the overview (keep the set SD, it's definitely the more viable one). I've seen way too many of those on low ladder and we don't need new users thinking they're being innovative.
