🎯 Operator's field verdict

Steel/Ground that mainly runs Thunder Fang to hurt Flying and Water types, with the defense-dropping Psychic Fangs and the strong Ground move Earthquake. Some players learn Crunch for Ghosts or Breaking Swipe for Dragons, so the actual sets vary a lot — a tricky Pokémon, and one of the timeout-makers of the Ultra League.
