Fur Coat Avalugg blanket checks physical attackers in the tier with its gargantuan bulk. Rapid Spin makes it a passable entry hazard remover, removing hazards against foes like Garchomp and Hippodown, backed by a powerful Body Press to hit switch-ins like Corviknight. Crunch can also be used to hit foes like Skeledirge and Gholdengo well, preventing them from spinblocking. Avalugg fits on more defensive teams that can cover its weaknesses more easily, so it should be paired with Ice Scales users like Blissey and Garganacl that can switch into special attackers like Iron Bundle and Dragapult. Fire- and Fighting-type switch-ins like Toxapex and Skeledirge can switch into physical attackers Avalugg cannot check, like Ceruledge and Slither Wing; in return, Avalugg switches into Pokemon like Baxcailbur and Chien-Pao for them. Avalugg has trouble removing entry hazards versus most Ghost-types, so other hazard removers like Corviknight and Great Tusk can help it out greatly.

Thanks to Fur Coat, Avalugg gains a niche with a gargantuant Defense stat, allowing it to blanket check a majority of the physical attackers in the tier. Rapid Spin lets Avalugg serve as a passable entry hazards removal option, removing entry hazards on foes like Garchomp and Hippodown, backed by a powerful Body Press to hit switch-ins like Corviknight. Earthquake can also be used to smack foes like Skeledirge and Gholdengo Considering that 2 of Gholdengo's very common sets rn are Fur Coat and Earth Eater, it's not smacked at all. Should mention how unreliable Avalugg is as hazard removal vs Gholdengo (lugg is also realistically almost never spinning vs skeledirge teams since eq is nowhere near a 2HKO and it always fears burn) for more damage than any of Avalugg's other moves. Avalugg fits on more defensive teams that can cover its weaknesses easier, so it should be paired with Ice Scales users like Blissey and Garganacl that can switch into special attackers like Flutter Mane and Dragapult. Fire- and Fighting-type resists like Toxapex and Skeledirge can also help Avalugg by switching into physical attackers it cannot check, like Ceruledge and Slither Wing; in return, Avalugg switches into Pokemon like Baxcailbur and Chein-Pao for them.
