Overview

This beefy, slow, special-attack oriented juggernaut can offer a deceptive amount of both damage and utility. It offers unique synergy options via its typing, and its Camoflague trait gives it even more durability. It can debuff, trap, and exhaust enemies or maim them with Soul Shout. It can also buff its allies. Broccolem is a moderate but interesting teammate that wishes it had more moveslots, and can struggle with stamina due to its expensive moves.

(1.3 DUKE'S NOTES - BROCCOLEM'S CHANGES DIDN'T ACTUALLY MAKE IT INTO THE GAME SO UHH. SEE YOU IN 1.3.1 I GUESS?)

Broccolem is a tanky tem with an interesting mix of offensive attacking types. It suffers from high stamina costs and relatively lower base powers on its moves, but it has a good defensive typing with a high number of resistances and a trait that makes it difficult to overcome its defenses.

Plague, Soul Shout, and Resin Trap make up your offensive arsenal, here. Fake Beard offsets stamina costs, though Bait is a good option into opposing toxics. Bush can also help clear statuses and dodge slower attacks, though Broccolem won't be getting ahead of too much even with priority. Bark Shield can be selected instead to add physical defense to Broccolem and its allies, shutting some lineups down, but it can be slow and unwieldy to use.

Broccolem loves that Sparks can consistently outspeed Plague, now, and it does a great job of threatening Crystals and Earths for Electrics like Gazuma and Raignet. Hazrat is another tem that fares poorly into Earth, and Broccolem clears those out and can even trap and eliminate them with Resin Trap.
