Der Bauer

Der Bauer is a Pawniard created by Echo Torterra. Der Bauer has good bulk and, with Flash Fire taken into account, a nice defensive typing that allows it to check a variety of threats like V For All, MENMA and treesarecool's Marowak-Alola. Its good attack prevents it from being too passive for a tank, as it has a strong Knock Off and Iron Head to hit Fairies. It can also force mindgames with its access to Sucker Punch, where one can bluff having the move to force out threats such as SaintRevent's Barraskewda. Its good bulk and capability to force switches also makes it a good Stealth Rock user. However, the presence of "random" Fighting coverage on a lot of mons can hinder Der Bauer's actual effectiveness, as a hit of a Fighting move will either KO it or put it at such low health that it can't really check anything anymore. Der Bauer is also notorious for drawing very bad movesets, as it only has three good attacking moves and can wind up with exceedingly passive sets when it gets too many status moves.
