>if your bro were to lose its ability, would it still be runnable?
Yeah, but its weaknesses would double.
>does your bro have extremely uneven defenses (e.g a sp.defense of 135 and a defense of 30) and no speed to compensate?
Sure as hell does.
>or does it have high defenses, but no offenses, nor any useful status/recovery moves?
It gets WilloWisp, Clear Smog, and Pain Split. Not the best recovery, but good enough support moves.
>does your bro have a lackluster movepool? "[pokemon] would be so much better if only it learned [move]"
Yes. Give him Recover already.
>does your bro have a typing which leaves it with few offensive and defensive edges? (examples: grass/psychic, pure ice, ice/rock)
He has one weakness and good resistances. Poison isn't even an unusable offensive typing anymore.
>does your bro rely on a single move to function properly?
No, he relies on 2-3 moves to function properly.
>does your bro easily fall to priority/birb?
He's got enough defense to tank most priority well enough to burn the user afterward. He doesn't really have a way to deal with birb, though.
>does your bro require excessive support?
Not really.
