Stunfisk Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Stunfisk has a 471 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. It works best as a trick room. Earthpower with Leftovers is the standard set.

Ground-type attackers are also a problem. At base 32 Speed, Stunfisk won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
