Strategy

Quagsire is Bertha ’s rejoinder toWater - typePokémon . It hasWater Absorb , which will whole negate anyWatermove used . Other than that , its role is divided . It has a mix of drag one’s feet moves and potent movement , letting it tank or conduct equipment casualty as ask . AGrass - typemove will pass over Quagsire out , though .

Sudowoodo does n’t do much . It has comme il faut type coverage and can do some alright harm , but it ’s just a John Rock type with a Sitrus Berry . Smack it around withWater , Fighting , Ground , orGrass - typemoves and move on .

Golem is n’t much better than Sudowoodo . It has some unsafe moves and can survive one onrush guarantee withSturdy , but it takes four - times terms from bothGrassandWatermoves . You might have some hassle if you do n’t have either of those types available , but you should still handle all right .

To carry on with Whiscash , either trade bollix with it with a tankier Pokémon , or you could try your luck with a speedyGrass - typeand hope it does enough to one - shot despite the Rindo Berry .

Hippowdon is jolly tanky , making it hard to one - shot , and it hasIce Fangto deal withFlyingandGrass - typePokémon .
