Why capture Cottone in the new DLC?

It is a Grass and Fairy type Pokémon, so it is weak to Steel, Fire, Ice and Flying types; as well as super weak to the Poison type.
However, it is resistant to Water, Electric, Fighting, Grass, Ground, and Dark types. It is even immune to Dragon type.
His stats are quite low, with his Speed of 66 and Defense of 60 being his best attributes. That said, his Whimsicott evolution has a speed of 116 and a Defense of 85. His Special Attack of 77 and Special Defense of 75 also increased.
These statistics show Cottone’s importance in Pokémon Scarlet and Purple: The Indigo Disk. Whimsicott is very fast, which is always useful in double battles, which are a favorite of the trainers at Blueberry Academy.
It has moves like Sporagodon, Tailwind, Taunt, Reinforcement, and Again. These moves can control combat, especially with the Prankster ability.
