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.

Its milk is delicious and chock-full of nutrients. However, if you drink too much, it could make your stomach hurt, so be careful.
Miltank Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Sap Sipper changes the entire equation for Miltank. The 490 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a pivot. Milkdrink with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Hitmonlee (Fighting) when using Miltank. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Milkdrink, Icepunch, Stealth Rock, and Body Slam on Miltank. Milkdrink is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.
