<p>This build of Whimsicott revolves around its elite ability: Prankster. This allows all of your non-damaging moves to have +1 priority over your opponent. So every move that you will use on this build, in other words, will always go first. The bread-winner here is priority Taunt, allowing you to be able to counter any support pokemon and totally counter any Trick Room pokemon teams.</p>

<p>As far as sub-seeding goes priority substitute is definitly huge here. Pair Substitute with priority Cotton Guard and you will have a huge wall towards DAers.</p>

<p>This pokemon's biggest weakness is obviously when the opponent has a typing advantage Special Attacker or if they run Toxic Spikes, as this will be a huge problem to a sub-seeder.</p>

<p>Defensive combined efforts against DAers is low 500's, which is average. Though because of Cotton Guard you will easily be able to wall most if not all DAers. Against SAers it is low 600's, which is low bulky. Overall the combined efforts are lower due to Whimsicotts' natural balance over the 4 aspects. With an elite ability like Prankster it would need lower stats to keep from being broken, IMO.</p>
