Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings
✔ Strengths & how to use
High matchup stability gives it even, reliable performance across a wide field.
It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Zacian (Crowned Sword)(#1) · Mega Mewtwo Y(#2) · Dialga (Origin)(#8), giving it real value as a meta counter.
On defense it double-resists Poison · Psychic · resists Normal · Grass · Ice · Flying · Rock · Dragon etc, holding up well against those attackers.
⚠ Weaknesses & threats
On defense it is weak to Fire · Ground · Ghost · Dark, so watch out for those attackers.
High attack but thin bulk means shield management heavily decides its games.
It's notably unfavored into Mega Metagross (usage rank #16), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
GBL Note verdict
Its D-tier rating isn't high, yet it's seen 3% in real play — a case where field data runs ahead of theory. Ranked #58 on paper yet #15 by real usage — chosen more in practice than theory implies.
