Stunfisk stands out as a notable physically defensive wall in PU, utilizing its bulk and ability in Static to check and punish prominent threats like physical Galarian Rapidash, Klinklang, and Unfezant and set up Stealth Rock. Toxic allows Stunfisk to punish switch-ins such as Appletun, Gourgeist, and Tangela. Rest provides Stunfisk with a method to remove status such as Klinklang's Toxic and allots a source of recovery on Rocky Helmet sets, while Thunder Wave provides a more reliable way of inflicting paralysis on special attackers such as Lilligant and Mr. Rime on the switch. Leftovers is the preferred item, providing steady recovery, although Rocky Helmet can be utilized to accrue residual damage on physical attackers such as Unfezant and Klinklang.
Stunfisk fits on balance and bulky offense teams that appreciate its ability to set up Stealth Rock and punish physical attackers like Lycanroc with paralysis. Special attackers such as Lilligant, Heatmor, and Beheeyem can exploit Stunfisk's subpar special bulk, so pairing Stunfisk with offensive checks to them such as Unfezant, Golduck, and Dusknoir, respectively, is a good idea. Specially defensive walls like Throh and Klinklang synergize with Stunfisk, checking special attackers such as Nasty Plot Gourgeist and Musharna, respectively, and absorbing Toxic from foes like Type: Null and Lickilicky. Furthermore, Throh provides extra utility with Knock Off and doubles as a check to the aforementioned Normal-types, while Klinklang serves as a check to Ice- and Grass-types like Mr. Rime and Appletun. Grass-types such as Lilligant and Gourgeist serve as Ground-resistant partners and threaten Water- and Ground-types such as Golduck, Drednaw, and Sandslash; in return, they value Stunfisk's ability to weaken their checks such as Klinklang and Unfezant. Slower Pokemon that can take advantage of Stunfisk spreading paralysis like Hex Drifblim, Falinks, and Drednaw complement Stunfisk. Entry hazard removers such as Morpeko, Mr. Rime, and Hitmonchan prevent Stunfisk from being worn down by residual damage.
