Parting words
With no Steel moves to speak of, Kartana won’t have any use as a Steel type unfortunately, but as a Grass type attacker for raids? That attack stat is going to do some major damage, That DPS! Well worth adding to your team, beating out even the likes of Shadow Venusaur! Full analysis for PvP here.
