Jumbao stands as CAP's most utilizable bulky Grass-type largely due to its respectable defenses and speed. A Grass / Fairy typing allows it to check some of the most common Pokemon in the metagame, such as Zygarde, Ash-Greninja, and Tapu Koko. Being able to come in on these Pokemon allows Jumbao to pass Wish to its teammates extremely often, making it an excellent partner for Pokemon that lack reliable recovery such as Zygarde, Heatran, and Landorus-T. Trace also allows Jumbao to check more Pokemon it otherwise couldn't, most notably non-Steelium Z Heatran thanks to Flash Fire. Shore Up allows Jumbao to stay healthy regardless of any weather present. Hidden Power Ground offers Jumbao offensive presence against its checks, namely Heatran and Mega Crucibelle, which are both 4x weak to Ground. Zygarde is Jumbao's most common partner, as Jumbao can beat Zygarde's checks in Arghonaut, Tomohawk and Snaelstrom, and Zygarde can handle Pokemon that threaten Jumbao, such as Mega Crucibelle
