Charjabug is a terrific Double Wall for single battles. The purpose of this moveset is to have enough defenses and bulk to take both physical and special hits.

With Battery, Charjabug's allies have the power of their special attacks multiplied by 1.3. With a Power Lens equipped to it, Charjabug's speed is halved. The klutz ability does not ignore this effect.
