Based on real ladder matchup statistics and expert community assessments (data snapshot 2026-05)
Forretress ranks 170th in singles at 0.12% usage. Sturdy (99.7%) guarantees survival from full HP, enabling reliable Stealth Rock setup or Toxic Spikes spreading. Rapid Spin clears entry hazards for the team, while Volt Switch provides safe pivoting. The classic Volcarona (15.4%) + Forretress hazard-stacking core remains its main niche.
Playstyle:Standard build: Sturdy + Mental Herb (39%) or Sitrus Berry (30.7%). Sassy or Calm nature maximizing HP and defenses. Core moveset: Stealth Rock + Rapid Spin + Volt Switch + Gyro Ball or Body Press. Toxic Spikes variants add chip damage pressure. Quick Claw (13%) appears in hyper-stall niche builds.
Forretress is effectively absent from doubles (near 0% usage, unranked). Entry hazards play a much smaller role in doubles, and Forretress's extremely low Speed and limited offensive output make it a liability against the fast-paced doubles meta.
