Pros:
-Thanks to Thick Fat and Eviolite, even the most fearsome Sweepers fail to OHKO Piloswine;
-Even with unboosted Atk can damage Sweepers that are fragile.
Cons:
-Even with a good defensive spread, the typing is in one word terrible, with 5 weaknesses (two are unfortunately very common);
-Slow, slow, too slow;
-Lack of recovery opportunities, so poison will quickly smack him down.
