Raw HP carries Oinkologne's bulk more than the defenses do. Sp. Atk barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A moderately hard to find Hog Pokemon that yields 2 HP EVs on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Oinkologne is weak to Fighting. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread. With 110 HP and balanced defenses, Oinkologne can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Annihilape's Drain Punch hits Oinkologne for 68-81%. Machamp's Stone Edge hits Oinkologne for 42-50%.

TMs carry this one. Oinkologne learns Giga Impact and Hyper Beam naturally for STAB, but the offensive range comes almost entirely from technical machines. Fairy and Ground and beyond give it real matchup play.

Thick Fat changes the entire equation for Oinkologne. The 489 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker.
Oinkologne's biggest threats include Conkeldurr (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
Thick Fat is what you want on Oinkologne. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Lingering Aroma, Gluttony) work on paper but Thick Fat is what makes Oinkologne worth using.
At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Oinkologne is a physical attacker with base 100 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as an attacker.
The core moveset is Body Slam, Bodypress, Stuffcheeks, and Thief. Body Slam leads at 19% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Oinkologne joined the series in Scarlet & Violet and has been available in 1 titles so far. With 2 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
