- Great abilities. Tough Claws are an amazing general power boost while No Guard can make many of its inaccurate moves hit more consistently, though the prior may take the spotlight.
- Exceptional offense. Factoring in Tough Claws, 115 base Attack with 110 base Speed is great!
- Priority. It has access to a powerful, Tough Claws-boosted STAB priority move in Mach Punch.
- Strong Offensive STAB. Rock/Fighting is a great offensive combo with strong STAB options.
- Great offensive coverage options. Protoffin luckily gets access to the elemental punches among several other decent coverage options, all boosted by its amazing Tough Claws ability.

- Polarizing defensive typing. Rock/Fighting possess a substantial amount of weaknesses but also plentiful resistances. Unfortunately, its lack of bulk makes this worse than it looks.
- Very frail. 65/50/80 is a super frail bulk spread. Its special bulk is a little forgiving but Protoffin is likely a 2HKO to most attacks.
- Lacks utility and set-up moves. Protoffin has poor access to utility moves and lacks set-up moves that can boost its threatening offensive presence.
