Pyukumuku's viability in RU is solely due to its ability, Unaware, which vitally enables it to wall physical setup sweepers like Cobalion, Barbaracle, and Cloyster; however, Pyukumuku's passiveness against Pokemon like Roserade and Zarude can be easily taken advantage of. Pyukumuku is also unable to pressure Steel-types like Registeel and Steelix if you are not running Spite. Pyukumuku is prone to entry hazards, as they make it waste Recover PP and become harder to switch into physical threats such as Cobalion, Darmanitan, and Mienshao. Block allows Pyukumuku to forcibly cripple foes with Toxic or PP stall with Spite. Rest is used on Pyukumuku so that it can remove status and reliably handle Pokemon that are unable to 3HKO it, such as Cobalion, Darmanitan, and Rhyperior. Pyukumuku has the option to run Spite over Toxic, since Spite pairs well with Block and Rest to enhance Pyukumuku's PP stalling capabilities, but it will be unable to cripple switch-ins like Dhelmise, Raikou, and Xurkitree without Toxic.
Pyukumuku's passiveness limits it to stall teams. Special walls like Umbreon, Porygon2, and Registeel make good partners, benefiting from Pyukumuku's ability to wall Fighting- and Fire-type Pokemon like Cobalion and Darmanitan. Cleric support from the likes of Umbreon, Sylveon, and Togekiss is essential to Pyukumuku's longevity. Answers to Dragon Dance Necrozma, such as Umbreon and Tangela, are crucial because Pyukumuku fails to wall Necrozma due to Photon Geyser invalidating Unaware. Teammates like Galarian Weezing and Assault Vest Reuniclus help wall strong Grass-types like Zarude and Roserade, which Pyukumuku fails to pressure with Toxic. Electric-type answers like Tangela and Gastrodon are helpful teammates for Raikou and Xurkitree. Reuniclus and Tangela aid Pyukumuku by pressuring Steel-types such as Metagross and Cobalion, which Pyukumuku fails to do when it's not running Spite. Due to Pyukumuku's susceptibility to hazards, hazard control from the likes of Xatu, Crobat, and Galarian Weezing is needed.
