THIS guy right here is the reason you get a fucking flame orb. STAB guts Facade one-shots so many threats, it can run Gunk Shot or Close Combat to deal with fairies or steel/rock types that would get in its way, and it has access to knock-off and switcheroo to boot. He’s fast and bulky, and while his base attack stat isn’t perfect, guts patches that right up. Almost anything that attacks into obstruct is dying on the next turn, and he pivots really easily into any ghost type threat, and he can switch in on status if he’s already activated his orb. He’s amazing, and I would hazard that he’d see a lot more usage online if the balltism man wouldn’t be so damn stingy with flame orbs.

Tl,dr;

Get a flame orb and use Obstagoon.
