Stantler Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Stantler isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Wyrdeer to unlock its full potential. At 465 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Stantler's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Run Intimidate on Stantler. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Stantler also gets Frisk and Sap Sipper, but they don't compare.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Sap Sipper is the hidden ability. It absorbs grass moves, raising Attack one stage. Worth hunting for if you want Stantler to compete at a higher level.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Stantler fills the balanced role. It's a physical attacker with base 95 Attack. Base 85 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Game Availability
Stantler has been available in 17 games since Gold & Silver, though obtaining it requires an item-based evolution. This extra step makes it less common than Pokemon found through standard wild encounters.
