How to counter Mabosstiff in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Mabosstiff is a defensive and physically attacking Pokémon. It can deal a lot of damage, especially with Jaw Lock and Comeuppance. If it has the Defiant ability, its Attack cannot be lowered, so you have to face this Pokémon the old-fashioned way. Fortunately, with its pure Dark-type, it has no gimmicks to its weaknesses and resistances.

A strong Fairy, Fighting, or Bug-type Pokémon will be your best bet, especially if they have good speed and focus on Special Attack. Volcarona, Lucario, and Sylveon are all great choices to face Mabosstiff. These Pokémon can outspeed it and hit it on its lower Special Defense.
