[OVERVIEW]

• Bulkiest, specially defensive pivot in the metagame
• Functions as a blanket check to specially offensive attackers such as Pyroar, Lilligant, Mesprit, Lanturn, Jynx, and more
• Usable physical bulk which can be augmented even further by Iron Defense
• Potent late-game wincon that uses its defenses and ability to set up with ease
• Able to create setup opportunities for frail teammates via U-turn
• Dependence on Pursuit support to remove Ghost-types
• Reliant on Eviolite, so it's vulnerable to Knock Off and Trick
• Easily stopped by users of Taunt and Encore when it attempts to use Rest or Sleep Talk
• Can also be set up on by Pokemon resistant to Normal-type moves, such as Lycanroc, Omastar, and Carracosta
• Checked by powerful Fighting-types
• Faces competition in other late-game wincons like Calm Mind Spiritomb or Curse Munchlax
• Rock- and Steel-types that resist Type: Null can still be overwhelmed given most lack the recovery needed to combat it
