- Boasting an excellent defensive typing and good natural bulk, Ferrothorn is a setup attacker that can solo unprepared teams.
- Despite the low PP count, Gyro Ball is Ferrothorn's most reliable STAB attack, as it also benefits from the Speed drop from Curse. Power Whip is a secondary STAB to hit bulky Water-types, such as Jellicent, that would otherwise wall Ferrothorn. Substitute can block Will-o-Wisp and can make Ferrothorn more difficult to take out. Leech Seed is a more defensive option to punish bulky Water-types that cannot touch Ferrothorn.
- Bullet on EV spread if it’s not 252/252
- 1-2 bullets on general usage tips
- Politoed, and by extension Kingdra, are excellent teammates since they check Heatran, the biggest counter to Ferrothorn.
