Using Miltank

The Pokemon has high defense and speed stats, making it a good fit for enduring several attacks.

Its special move Milk Drink can restore the Pokemon’s HP by 50%, and since it has high Speed, taking Miltank down could be difficult for opponents.

Miltank’s attributes are excellent, but its abilities can also be found on other Pokemon. Snorlax and Purugly have Thick Fat, Kangaskhan and Mega Lopunny have Scrappy, and Bouffalant and Stantler have Sap Sipper.

Take advantage of Miltank’s high speed and Milk Drink while using it in battles.

Fitting Miltank in your team

Scrappy set

Ability	Scrappy
Nature	Jolly
Effort Values	HP252, Speed100, others for Defense
Held Item	Lum Berry/Leftovers
Recommended Move	Body Slam/Substitute/Milk Drink

• Scrappy causes Ghost-type Pokemon to be hit by Normal and Fighting type damage dealing moves.
• Body Slam has a 30% chance of paralyzing the opponent. While the opponent is paralyzed, use the move Milk Drink to restore HP.

Countering Miltank

The move Thunder Wave paralyzes Miltank, making it unable to restore its health by using Milk Drink. Paralyzing the Pokemon is an effective strategy to bring it down easily.

Taunt is also a good counter as this can block the use of status moves.

If the opponent’s Pokemon doesn’t have the move Heal Bell, then Toxic is also a good counter move.
