Substitute-breaking attack candidates
High bulk and Poison-spreading are great, but Substitute or Taunt + setup shuts it down — constant risk. Hard to use, so try adding an attack move if struggling.
Spread status, cycle switches and recovery, advancing favorably in cycles. Can reset opponent boosts, functions as a setup-ace stopper too. No attack means status-immune foes find openings.
Weak to Poison-immune opponents
Without Poison as damage source, useless against immune Pokémon. Especially Mega Gengar's Shadow Tag prevents switching on face-off, so be careful. Also, Substituteor Taunt+setup combo Pokémon can KO teammates through.
