Underrated Cost 1 (or .25 with full unlocks) mon for decent support options in Classic. Though usable in a few matches, its real value is in providing decent support utility as a cheap Honey Gather, and can help DoT/Stall teams with Fake Out and Silk Trap. Not a mon that sees much play in sweeping, but can provide good value for its low cost.

Esca27 days agoUsable support option with passive, as it ties for cheapest Honey Gather mon and does more than Unown (or Kricketot) in battle, as Stone Axe is occasionally good and with Leech Life you can expect it to at least 1v1 Darks and shit. Mostly sees use if you literally only have .25 points left though as otherwise Pachirisu is a thing. More reason for use on multi-Honey teams. Without unlocks, quite terrible. Consider that Charjabug has pretty much the same stats but can use Eviolite. Not worth for Endless, there's better Honey mons and typically Honey in Endless won't be a passive either way.
