PU Dedenne Mini

[OVERVIEW]

Dedenne's sparse movepool and poor stats bar Speed leave it totally outclassed by other Electric-types such as Alolan Raichu, Eelektross, and Rotom-F. To make matters worse, Dedenne must rely on the unremarkable combination of Petaya Berry + Recycle to accumulate Special Attack boosts, which is a tedious process made especially difficult to pull off in succession given Dedenne's terrible bulk and lack of payoff due to it still being weak even after boosts. Alolan Raichu is a far more consistent boosting sweeper thanks to its superior offensive stats alongside access to Nasty Plot and moves such as Focus Blast and STAB Psyshock, whereas other Electric-types such as Rotom-F and Eelektross also boast far better coverage options.

Using Substitute, Recycle, Petaya Berry, and Cheek Pouch, Dedenne can very slowly start gathering up Special Attack boosts and attempt to perform a sweep. However, despite Dedenne's high Speed and a defensive typing that grants it a neat set of resistances to priority moves like Sucker Punch and Mach Punch, Dedenne's pitiful stats means it is revenge killed by a plethora of faster threats regardless and poses little of a threat even with boosts. Dedenne lacks any other notable niche over Alolan Raichu, giving the latter a more clear-cut role as a setup sweeper.

Using Substitute, Recycle, and Petaya Berry, (and cheek pouch)Dedenne can very slowly start gathering up Special Attack boosts and try desperately in vain to become a threatening sweeper. However, despite Dedenne's defensive typing granting it a neat set of resistances to priority moves like Sucker Punch and Mach Punch, (mention its good speed too)Dedenne's pitiful stats leave it easily revenge killed by a plethora of faster threats regardless. Dedenne lacks any other notable niche over Alolan Raichu, giving the latter a more clear-cut role as a setup sweeper.
