Defense · MLB

Middle linebackerin the All 22 Pokémon Football Game

The 4-3 counterpart to the inside linebackers, and the most valuable defensive spot in that front. It trades a little Attack and Defense for Sp. Def and Speed, so a coverage-capable bruiser is ideal.

4-3 defense only. One starter per team.
