I walk this lonely road with this boney kid and it's an alright physical tank, but otherwise its stats aren't very impressive. Obviously you'll be going for physical STAB and stay far away from the various Special moves it can learn. Cause it can learn a good amount of elemental moves and while it offers some interesting super effective coverage, as it evolves, it'll improve its Attack, but not its Special Attack by a huge amount, so there's no real point using one time TMs in that way. There's also the problem that Gen 2 TMs aren't as good as the Gen 1 TMs, so Cubone will lack a very useful Rock move, but it's not a huge dealbreaker. There's plenty of other hard hitting Fighting or Normal moves you can also use, but man, Rock Slide would be a nice addition. Otherwise, it's slow, it's weak to Special moves, but starts off with some good moves and can keep up with the best of them. It was a good choice last LP and it's a good choice this time round too.
