Defenders are the frontline of the team, specializing in soaking damage, disrupting enemies, and protecting allies. They have high HP and defensive stats, making them difficult to knock out. Examples include Snorlax, Blastoise, Slowbro, and Mamoswine. Their role is to initiate fights, peel for their damage dealers, and control objective areas. Builds for Defenders focus on maximizing their survivability, crowd control, and utility to support the team.
