Esca28 days agoUsual playbook is Mat Block t1, then Pollen Puff damage from previous waves away on t2. Pair with strong single-target attackers to 2tap double battles, or spread attackers with a setup move. Spore can cheese trainer battles somewhat and helps with w200. Biggest tip: actually use this mon instead of voting it for D while knowing jack about it lol

No unlocks Classic: About useless. Horrid stats, closest to a niche is 1-cost Baton Pass user which Furret does better due to better natural setup. Full unlocks Classic: Cracked mon that fits on nearly every team. At this point you'll probably have at least one mon that can clear most of the gamemode by itself, and Ledian's existence trivializes double battles and the free healing makes potions redundant. Low cost and high nigh-irreplaceable utility, should be considered for every run. Unlocks Endless: Cheap Mat Block fuse tutor with minor earlygame utility. Decent 6th slot.
