Since I put more effort into the preview than I would have liked...guess we may as well start with it.

Type: Bug/Flying
Notable Moves
- Sleep Powder
- Stun Spore
- Psychic
- Mega Drain
- Reflect?
- Double-Edge?
Pros
- Double Powder is cool for support, giving a 50/50 once Sleep Powder has been landed, either Stun Spore the switch or pressure with Psychic if they burn sleep turns.
- Only Sleeper with an outright Ground immunity, giving it opportunities to switch in on Earthquake to threaten sleep. Can be used to double pivot into an Electric I guess.
- Winning with it is the ultimate flex, which happens weirdly often on the PS Main ladder...
Cons
- Movepool that would make Kingler feel privileged.
- "Best" attacking move is Psychic, which somehow deals less damage than Psywave a lot of the time.
- Stats are awful, with the sole benefit being a somewhat ok Speed stat for Sleep Powder?
- Its typing is horrific and gives it some pretty nasty weaknesses, compounded by the typing.
- While it has Sleep Powder and an immunity to Earthquake, other Pokemon can resist it while having access, like Exeggutor.
