Jolly Nature
- Obstruct
- Facade
- Knock Off
- Close Combat
This punk rocker acts as a strong wallbreaker for Normal teams! Obstruct allows Obstagoon to activate Guts with its Flame Orb, allowing it to pressure bulky types like Poison and Water with its powerful Guts-boosted Facade. Knock Off deals with Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Aegislash and Slowbro and cripples walls such as Celesteela and Galarian Corsola. Close Combat completes Obstagoon's coverage, as it threatens Steel- and Dark-types such as Ferrothorn and Tyranitar. While Obstagoon is a great wallbreaker against bulkier teams, it cannot take a Close Combat from faster threats such as Zeraora and Barraskewda, so Fluffy Bewear makes a great partner. Porygon2 and Blissey act as defensive pivots that can bring Obstagoon in safely and spread status or set Stealth Rock to help Obstagoon break the opposing team.
