Dewgong Weakness

Dewgong Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Don't let Dewgong's 475 base stat total fool you. Thick Fat is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier. Fakeout with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Run Thick Fat on Dewgong. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Dewgong also gets Hydration and Ice Body, but they don't compare.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Dewgong fills the balanced role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 70 Attack). Base 70 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Fakeout, Disable, Perishsong, and Protect on Dewgong. Fakeout is the most common pick at 25% usage. This set covers the balanced role with a mix of damage and utility.
