0703 Carbink

Rock Throw deals excellent DPT and benefits from STAB; it allows Carbink to plow through various enemies without having to throw a Charged Attack. Tackle, however, possesses greater energy gains, which can be helpful for combating Fighting-type threats because Carbink can reach Moonblast more quickly.

Rock Slide is Carbink's cheapest Charged Attack. Moonblast uses Carbink's other STAB to provide it with coverage; it is also Carbink's strongest attack in terms of DPE. Power Gem is inferior to Rock Slide.

Carbink is one of the sturdiest Pokemon in the game and plays very similarly to Bastiodon. Through typing, bulk, and Fast Attack pressure alone, it can dominate certain matchups simply by tap tap tapping its way through. Amongst its key targets include Sableye and Flying-type Pokemon such as Noctowl and Altaria. Carbink's main difference from Bastiodon is that its double weakness is far less abusable. Additionally, its neutrality to Fighting and access to Moonblast allows it to threaten Fighting-type Pokemon such as Medicham and Scrafty. However, Carbink lacks the resistances and neutralities provided by Bastiodon's Steel typing, which can leave it vulnerable to threats such as Venusaur, Nidoqueen, and Toxapex.

A max CP of 1658 means Carbink isn't going anywhere here.
