[OVERVIEW]
Piloswine is able to set up Stealth Rock and stand out from other setters with its unique STAB combination and priority. Piloswine is able to pressure opposing Stealth Rock setters such as Druddigon and traditional ground-type checks like Whimsicott. Its typing and being able to pick off weakened Pokemon is its greatest strength. While it has a decent offensive presence, it suffers from a lack of recovery making it hard to deal with Pokemon like Vikavolt in the long run. Its typing also hinders it defensively as it leaves Piloswine vulnerable to Togedemaru, common fighting-types like Passimian, as well as Rock-types such as Archeops and Aggron that other Ground-types such as Palossand handle reliably.

Piloswine can be overwhelmed by Fighting-types like Sawk, so it appreciates Pokemon such as Weezing countering them and absorbing Knock Off, which limits Piloswine's defensive potential. In return, Piloswine can pivot into Volt Switch users like Galvantula. Piloswine gets quickly worn down, since it lacks any form of recovery; Aromatisse can alleviate this issue by providing cleric and Wish support and serving as a switch-in to Fighting-types and Knock Off. In return, Aromatisse benefits from Piloswine consistently switching into Arctozolt. Piloswine is able to pick off weakened Pokemon like Whimsicott and Ribombee and take some pressure off Pokemon such as Charizard to deal with them. Charizard makes for a solid partner, as it provides entry hazard removal and beats Tsareena, which Piloswine cannot handle with Ice Shard. Piloswine also has solid synergy with Silvally-Dragon, which can pivot into Water-types like Basculin and benefit from Piloswine weakening threats like Weezing and Gigalith to sweep.
