Dedenne

Dedenne sits at 0% usage with no rank in singles. Poison and Ground hit it for 4x damage, while Electric, Flying, Bug, and Dark are resisted; Dragon does 0. A 67/57/67 bulk line cannot withstand the offensive pressure common in this format. Sitrus Berry lets it survive one extra hit, and 101 Speed lets it occasionally move first with Nuzzle, but these advantages do not lift it out of the singles periphery.

Dedenne posts 0% usage in doubles as well, though 2742 recorded uses show it still appears as a support piece. Protect leads at 14.5%, followed by Nuzzle (13.2%) and Dazzling Gleam (12.4%); neither Draining Kiss nor Thunderbolt reaches the top list, confirming that its role is not to deal damage but to remove status, drop opposing Speed, or provide spread coverage. Entrainment at 7.7% lets it pass Cheek Pouch or Plus to a partner, a key function when assembling a squad. Sitrus Berry (37.2%) and Focus Sash (28.2%) together cover over half of all sets, both aimed at extending its survivability window.

Playstyle：Its tactical identity is interference and bridging. Protect buys a turn for a partner, Nuzzle spreads paralysis with STAB coverage, and Entrainment hands Cheek Pouch recovery or Plus offensive buffs to a heavy hitter. Shuca Berry at 17.0% answers the Ground weakness, patching the hole neither Sitrus nor Focus Sash can cover. The 28.2% Focus Sash share shows that nearly a third of pilots use it as a one-hit tool that still gets to click Protect or Entrainment before going down.
