the slashes for this are really tentative at the moment, this thing has quite a few decent offensive moves that could be slash-worthy
Overview
########
- really bulky
- good coverage
- can spinblock but is defog bait
- really weak even with choice band, mainly due to lack of a strong stab move
- rather one dimensional
