<p>This version of Whimsicott is probably the "Troll-iest" pokemon in the game. As mean as Toxic-Subseeders are, Whimsicott has not only Taunt on this build but benefits from +1 priority on all of its moves. I have had this pokemon Leech and Toxic sweep many times due to it being able to have substitute constantly up.</p>

<p>Though you can get rid of Taunt for Protect it is probably best to keep Priority Taunt instead. This is especially true if you have a no other way to stop hazard placers or buffers.</p>

<p>Defensive combined efforts on both sides is ~550, which is mid-average protection. So in most occasions this pokemon will go 2HKO without Substitute up or Leech. Though the efforts are lower for this Subseeder, priority is what makes this pokemon work so well and have the ability to stall out many pokemon.</p>
