Art:
Holy crap Shiny Miltank looks strange. Just stare at it for like 3 seconds. o_o;; STRANGE

It's the Cow pokemon, it's a lot more anthropomorphized than pokemon like Tauren tauros.

It's cute and I like it to a degree.
7.5/10

Casual:
Miltank is... a tank. It's not exactly a sweeper and it's normal typing doesn't help it too much ingame.

Interestingly enough Miltank learns Surf and Whirlpool, so if you like the art enough. Carry it as a HM slave if you don't want a full fledged water type.

But everyone knows you don't know Miltank from using it ingame, you know it from this.
6.0/10

Competitive:
Now this is where Miltank earns it's score. Firsty, it's 2 abilities are AWESOME.

Thick Fat - Halves damage from Ice and Fire. Just think about this for a second, that's huge. Add Miltanks high defense. If I did the calculation right, and that's a big if. Miltank should be able to survive 3 Ho-Oh Sacred Fires. Or 2 Sacred Fire crits.

On the otherhand

Scrappy - Hits ghosts with normal/fighting attacks. (Tanky Miltank's) Return 2 shots Gengar (31 Def Ivs, 0 Def Evs, neutral defensive nature).

Now enough about the abilities, Miltank fits 2 roles, as a support or as a tank (Remember, a tank is not a wall, it's a bit weaker than a wall in terms of defensive stats, and it doesn't do as much damage as a sweeper, it just does decent at both)

Seriously, Miltank is a BLAST to play. If it's stats were up to Snorlax's (490 Miltank vs 540 Snorlax). It'd be OU IMHO.
9.0/10

We need a Miltank evolution to boost it's stats! :]

7.5/10

Strangely enough, the shiny version makes me think of cotton candy....or the Birthday cake ice cream we've got at the Farm Fresh near where I live...

But yeah, Miltank is best known for being Whitney's final pokemon, with a Rollout to kill them all. Back in Gold and Silver, she could be one heck of a nuisance if you chose Cyndaquil, and the others didn't have a type advantage against her. You had to either overpower it, get really F'in lucky, or have enough Potions/Super Potions to tide you over. That thing could be a menace! And those who use it (As I'm sure Aria probably does) can make some dents in just about any team (Even ghosts thanks to Scrappy).

Sadly, both times I fought it, in Crystal and SS, it was felled by two Embers. It used Defense Curl of all the useless things to do. Against Ember at least.

YAY, Miltank~ ♥ Thank you very much for this! biggrin

Miltank is a reliable beast. I use her competitively on nearly all of my teams, as her versatility seemingly knows no bounds. Team supporter, personal tank, Curser, Annoyer, attacker... this cow is strong, has plenty of HP to keep it going, and defenses to match.

In my experience, this one Pokémon has gotten more expletives thrown at it than any other, due to her longevity and ease in walling most Pokémon in UU, save Choice sets. Toxic Stall? I'll Heal Bell after two turns, thank you. Attempt to hit me with low PP, high power moves? My EV spreads stop most of those in their tracks, thank you, and I'll Milk Drink each turn until you stop/run out of PP. This is much harder to pull off in OU, due to harder-hitting opponents. With the right support, however (I love frustrating Infernapes with +6 Curse support), Miltank can even laugh off those with relative ease.

Body Slam + Zen Headbutt gives her access to the Paraflinch combo, though Steels wall it fairly easily. I have been able to cause several ragequits, however, simply by keeping her out on the field with bulky IVs/EVs, Leftovers, Milk Drink, Heal Bell, and two attacks. She's also an excellent Curser, though it drops your flexibility quite a bit.

A must for any team running UU and under, and extremely viable in OU, under the right circumstances.

I love Miltank very much, though watch out for her lower defense- a base 70 Sp. Defense. It's hard to raise that score- in fact, unless you get Baton Passed a Sp. Def boost, you can't raise it at all- and will definitely spell her end if a Gengar pinches off a few Focus Blasts. Heal Bell needs more PP; but as I've said before, if you get hit with Toxic, wait a few turns before eliminating the status. Not only does Toxic not severely injure you during the first three turns, but it also protects you from Miltank's worst enemy- the Burn status.

Definitely a great Pokémon, with great Speed, Defense, and HP. <3 If you haven't tried using her yet...

DO IT.

Still on the fence as to whether this or Ludicolo ranks as my number one favorite. >> Decisions, decisions...
