Why You Should Use Stakataka

Why You Should Use Stakataka In Pokemon Sun and Moon!

    Design
S    ~Definitely goes with the weird UB vibe - sentient watchtower made of multiple separate bricks. Looks super heavy, super bulky and pretty goofy which appeals to me a lot. Plus I love the way it plops out of the sky.

J   When stone walls started moving and attacking, the brute’s true identity was this mysterious life-form, which brings to mind an Ultra Beast. - I love the idea of a wall waking up and starting to attack you, the design is on point!

    Typing/Stats
	~Rock / Steel
    Slightly disappointing - potentially could have had unique typing like Rock/Ghost and we've seen this typing before multiple times! It has a quad weakness to Ground and FIghting too which is less than ideal. However it's probably going to be one of the better users of this typing.

J    HP: 61 Atk: 131 Def: 211 Sp. Atk: 53 Sp. Def: 101 Spd: 13

Min maxed to heck! Defense is insane and SpD is good, but HP slightly low which is a shame, still will be able to tank physical hits for days. Attack stat is very nice - will hit very hard. SpA not worth commenting and Speed is very low - but this could be good for a TR user.


    Ability
S   ~Beast Boost - Will always boost Defense UNLESS Lonely (+Atk, - Def) nature max Attack and 14 or less IVs in defense - will then boost Attack
