Is there any way to make Pumpkaboo viable without evolving it into the pig disgusting mess that is Gourgeist? I have an Adamant jumbo one, and I was thinking of building it up into a nice little tank. Granted, I'm still trying to figure out what kind of EV spread to give it, either 252HP/252Def or 252Attack/252HP, but I feel like I'll need to evolve it in order to get the best use out of it and that really fucks me off.

Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist thread, I guess.
