[Set Comments]
-Sunny Day stops Blizzspam and sets up stuff like Tangela and Charizard.
-Leftovers is better, but Heat Rock is usable for a sun team.
-THICK FAT
-Light Screen stops Blizzspam and Charizard.

[Additional Comments]
-Good as a support role.
-Magic Coat I guess?
-Psyshock hits...Munchlax.
-EVs up your weaker defensive stat
-Lack of recovery suggests Wish-Passer

-You can Heal Bell and set up Dual Screens
-Taunt destroys walls
-Whirlwind destroys Baton Pass teams.

[Additional Comments]
-Lack of recovery means Wish-Passer
-Something to get rid of Taunters.

[Other Options]
-CM set
-Charge Beam

[Counters]
-Scyther wrecks it. (OHKO with SR on max defense)
-Can't take physical hits to save it's life.
-Taunt ruins Grumpig.
 
Is that set even viable? way to situational, To be honest, Grumpig is better off as a support poke, having moves like Heal Bell, Taunt and Whirlwind, it could be a decent Calm minder too.
 
man i don't even know where to start with this

1. hail is banned, making the first set null

2. the second set doesn't make any sense. Why focus on Grumpig's physical defense when it excels in special defense and actually hard counters Moltres and checks PZ nicely.

This leads me to believe you haven't played the metagame recently, nor even played to Grumpig's strengths. So, I'm locking the thread and letting someone else take it over.
