Base Stats

Garbodor is the picture of balance: 80 HP and twin 82 defenses give it enough bulk to set hazards and survive a hit, while 95 Attack makes its physical Poison STAB threatening. The 75 Speed is middling, so it is neither fast support nor a Trick Room piece — it operates in the mid-speed bracket and leans on utility over raw stats.

Type Matchups

Abilities

• Aftermath — deals damage to the attacker that lands the finishing contact blow. Decent passive chip in doubles since fainting still extracts a cost.
• Weak Armor — raises Speed (and lowers Defense) when hit by a physical move; can let Garbodor outspeed after taking a hit, though the Defense loss is risky.
• Stench — adds a flinch chance to attacks; mostly a flavor pick competitively.

Best Moveset

Garbodor's value is hazards plus a hard Poison hit. Standout options for Regulation M-A doubles:

Hazard-setting attacker

• Gunk Shot — powerful physical Poison STAB with a poison chance; the main offensive button.
• Toxic Spikes — poison the opposing grounded switch-ins, wearing down balance over time.
• Spikes — stack entry-hazard chip alongside Toxic Spikes.
• Protect — survive a focus turn while hazards do their work.

Mixed coverage

• Sludge Bomb / Sludge Wave — special Poison STAB, Sludge Wave hitting both foes.
• Drain Punch — recovery and coverage for Steel and Dark threats.
• Thunderbolt or Focus Blast — extra special coverage.

Other notable tools include Giga Drain, Dark Pulse, Psychic, Fling and Substitute.

Suggested SP Spread

With the Champions SP system (66 points, max 32 per stat), a support Garbodor wants bulk to keep setting hazards: invest in HP and a defense with a defensive Stat Alignment. An offensive build can instead pour points into Attack to make Gunk Shot hit harder. Build your exact Level 50 numbers in the team builder.

Competitive Role in Regulation M-A

Garbodor is a utility piece that trades flash for function. Toxic Spikes and Spikes are scarce in a 6-pick-4 doubles format, so a dedicated hazard-setter that also threatens real damage with Gunk Shot has a niche on bulkier teams that want to grind opponents down. Its balanced bulk means it does not fold to a single hit while laying hazards, and Aftermath ensures even trading it costs the opponent. It is not a centerpiece — it lacks the speed for fast support and the slowness for Trick Room — but as a glue Pokemon that pressures balance cores with passive damage and Poison STAB, it pulls its weight. Pair it with sweepers that capitalise on the chip hazards provide.
