Miltank Weakness
Fighting moves hit Miltank for super-effective damage. The upside? Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread. Miltank's physical bulk (base 105 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

Miltank Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Sap Sipper changes the entire equation for Miltank. The 490 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a pivot. Heal Bell with Leftovers is the standard set.

Sap Sipper is what you want on Miltank. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Thick Fat, Scrappy) work on paper but Sap Sipper is what makes Miltank worth using.
Base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Miltank is a physical attacker with base 80 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a pivot.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Heal Bell, Icepunch, Firepunch, and Milkdrink on Miltank. Heal Bell is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.
