Free switch-ins on Ghost moves make Wyrdeer useful in any team that needs that coverage. Only 2 weaknesses keeps it safe in most matchups. Intimidate lowers the opponent's Attack on switch-in. Known as the Big Horn Pokemon.
The stat line revolves around Attack. Percentage recovery gets extra mileage here. Sp. Atk backs it up, though Speed doesn't pull its weight. Worth 2 Attack and Sp. Atk EVs on a slow 1.25M XP grind to max out.
The black orbs shine with an uncanny light when the Pokémon is erecting invisible barriers. The fur shed from its beard retains heat well and is a highly useful material for winter clothing.
