Old Gens [GSC OU] Miltank

Miltank (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: No Ability
- Body Slam
- Growl
- Heal Bell
- Milk Drink

Growl? In competitive Pokemon? That's right, Miltank wields this usually useless move alongside Milk Drink and good bulk to completely wall Snorlax. Growl's 61 PP also eclipses Snorlax's Curse, making it a near-permanent wall to it and other Curse users like Tyranitar. The main reason it's used, however, is Heal Bell, which enables wallbreaker and defensive teammates alike. This gives it a strong niche as a cleric and check to Snorlax on certain stall teams. For example, Heal Bell adds longevity and security to Belly Drum + Rest users in Snorlax and Quagsire as well as Rest Marowak while rejuvenating defensive Snorlax and Raikou sets lacking Sleep Talk. When compared to the only other viable cleric, Blissey, Miltank also sports a high Speed stat, which is very useful against threats like Jynx and Nidoking after a sleep sacrifice. Spreading paralysis via Body Slam gives the aforementioned slower wallbreakers more opportunities while threatening offensive switch-ins like Zapdos and Exeggutor.

Ability: No Ability
- Body Slam
- Growl
- Heal Bell
- Milk Drink

Growl? In competitive Pokemon? That's right, Miltank wields this usually useless move alongside Milk Drink and good bulk to completely wall Snorlax, in conjunction with its good bulk and instant recovery in Milk Drink. Growl's 64 PP also eclipses Snorlax's Curse, making it a near-permanent wall to it and other Curse users like Tyranitar. The main reason it's used, however, is Heal Bell:, (comma) which enables wallbreaker and defensive teammates alike by healing status conditions from its teammates, it can achieve multiple goals in enabling both wallbreaking teammates and defensive ones. This gives it a strong niche as a cleric and check to Snorlax on certain stall teams. For example, Heal Bell adds longevity and security to wallbreakers like Belly Drum + Rest Snorlax or Quagsire, Belly Drum + Rest users in Snorlax and Quagsire as well as Rest Marowak, (comma) while rejuvenating defensive Snorlax and Raikou sets lacking Sleep Talk. When compared to the only other viable cleric, Blissey, Miltank also sports a high Speed stat, which is very useful against threats like Jynx and Nidoking after a sleep sacrifice. Spreading paralysis via Body Slam gives the aforementioned slower wallbreakers more opportunities while threatening offensive switch-ins like Zapdos and Exeggutor.

Late to the party but Growl only gets 61 PP in GSC, not 64.
