Stantler Weakness

Hard to wall, honestly. Stantler threatens 10 types beyond its own STAB, with Ghost and Psychic standing out. Pair that with Giga Impact and Last Resort and switchins need to think twice.

Best Locations to Catch Stantler in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
Stantler Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Stantler isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Wyrdeer to unlock its full potential. At 465 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Stantler's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Run Intimidate on Stantler. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Stantler also gets Frisk and Sap Sipper, but they don't compare.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Sap Sipper is the hidden ability. It absorbs grass moves, raising Attack one stage. Worth hunting for if you want Stantler to compete at a higher level.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Stantler fills the balanced role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 95 Attack). Base 85 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Game Availability
Stantler has been available in 17 games since Gold & Silver, though obtaining it requires an item-based evolution. This extra step makes it less common than Pokemon found through standard wild encounters.
