Is training Bisharp worth it?

It’s stats are pretty good, but I’m not sure if they’re good enough.

BTW, I am a casual player, rarely doing online matches. Also I like to sweep, but if I can’t sweep I like to tank/stall. I don’t know why I like to do that last one, it’s just fun. ^^

I’m not sure if being a “casual” player means you want advice for in-game or competitive play, but I’ll answer assuming your main concern is about competitive play. In that case, let me introduce you to the massive threat and offensive powerhouse that is Bisharp. I’ll go through some of its better qualities and also some of its shortcomings that may turn you away from using Bisharp.

Though Bisharp has a wealth of different qualities and traits that have made it popular in OU, it also has some flaws that must be consider when using it.

Bisharp, though lacking in Speed and special bulk, is a potent Sucker Punch user with tons of utility to offer its user and an ability to fight against teams of all playstyles. Its access to some of the most controlling attacks in the game, Knock Off and Pursuit, combined with STAB on both means it is adept at applying pressure and dealing damage. Though its vulnerability to common attacks and its dependence on Sucker Punch to fight offence can sometimes hold it back, Bisharp is a big threat in the game and one you should definitely consider raising or using on your team.

He could still use the advice for in game, dude.

But to answer your question, I’ve never really used bisharp due to its x4 weakness to fighting and its x2 to fire. Fighting types and fire types are everywhere, whether its in game, casual, or whatever. But this is strictly just an opinion.

However I would like to point out that high defense stat bisharp has. I guess what Im trying to say is: if you really want to use bisharp, I guess it wouldn’t be a complete waste giving it a shot. If you raise it right, your bisharp can potentially tank out those fighting types. Hope this helped :)
