Sam:
But to really understand how strong a Pokemon is, we need to compare it to other pokemon to see whether it has its own niche.

John:
In terms of offensive Normal types:
Diggersby
- Much more power, STAB EQ, priority, speed and offensive set up
- No Pursuit, not as bulky, fewer defensive options

Sam:
In terms of powerful bulky set up:
Type: Null
- more defensive bulk, SD, Battle Armor
- More immediate power, better coverage, 50% berries

ntm doubles sets - not much does the same job as effectively!

Snorlax sets itself apart as physical bulky set up with great coverage!
