What is Greedent weak to?

Greedent's biggest threats include Conkeldurr (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 20 Speed, Greedent won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

What role does Greedent play in battle?

Base 20 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Greedent is a physical attacker with base 95 Attack. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a trick room.

or evolve from Skwovet (Step 1)

We rate Greedent C-Tier: a situational pick that fills a niche. At 460 BST, it fits the trick room role. Base 120 HP stands out.
Greedent's biggest threats include Conkeldurr (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 20 Speed, Greedent won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Cheek Pouch is the go-to ability for Greedent. It restores HP upon eating a Berry, in addition to the Berry's effect. Its hidden ability Gluttony can work in specific setups.
Base 20 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Greedent is a physical attacker with base 95 Attack. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a trick room.
Best way to handle Greedent: Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Fighting-type attackers hit hardest.

Greedent joined the series in Sword & Shield and has been available in 2 titles so far. With 3 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
