Base Stats
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.
It entrances female Pokémon with the sweet, alluring scent that wafts from all over its body.
Oinkologne Guide
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 0% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
