Synergy
Intimidate plus Spore and Rage Powder forms the format's most reliable defensive backbone, buying turns for restricted attackers while controlling physical threats.
Weaknesses

- − Fast special breakers
- − Taunt + Safety Goggles leads
How to use it
Lead defensively, cycle Intimidate, and use redirection to protect your win condition. Pivot with Parting Shot and U-turn to keep momentum.
How to beat it
Apply spread Fire pressure, use Safety Goggles to ignore powder, and bring fast special attackers to outpace the slow core. Effectiveness is matchup dependent.
