- Do not stack too many teammates that are also weak to ground, rock, and dragon.
- Rock coverage and entry-hazard pressure can make this Pokemon harder to use without support.
- Sweepers usually need defensive pivots or status support so they can enter safely.
- Defensive Pokemon still need offensive partners; avoid building a team that cannot pressure key types.
