Overview
- Pyukumuku's only niche is to stall out the opponent with it's etremely limited movepool. As it doesn't have access to any damaging moves, it's only hope of damage output is Toxic or potentially Pain Split.
- Pyukumuku's ability Innards Out can help to quickly recoil back a decent dose of damage to an already weak opponent, especially stalling Chansey before they have a chance to heal.
- It's high defences allow it to eat neutral hits very well, but suffers if hit by Electric or Grass move from potential threats like Raikou and Tsareena.
- Since Pyukumuku has access to Baton Pass, it can utilise the often forgotten Psych Up to copy raised stats from foes attempting to take out Pyukumuku if they have no super effective moves e.g. Scizor Alakazam.
- However, if not careful, it can be caught off guard by fast heavy hitters like Mega Aerodactyl.

- Protect prevents Pyukumuku from being affected by Thunder Wave or Toxic while the target tries setting up, as well as being able to see if they raised any stats so next turn it can copy with Psych Up.
- Psych Up is the move in which makes this set work so well. Copying the targets stat changes can be extremely useful if you need to gain stats on a sweeping Pokemon like Mega Absol or Arcanine.
