Overview
########

Seismitoad can hold its own in UU thanks to its great defensive typing and excellent ability in Water Absorb, which gives it a valuable advantage over Swampert. Decent 105 / 75 / 75 bulk and support options in Stealth Rock and Knock Off make it a solid choice for any team. However, it should be noted that Seismitoad's stats, both offensively and defensively, are outclassed by Swampert's. If you're using Seismitoad, be sure to use it alongside Pokemon that appreciate its unique traits. Otherwise, you are usually better off sticking with Swampert.

move 2: Earthquake
move 3: Scald
move 4: Knock Off / Toxic
ability: Water Absorb
item: Leftovers
evs: 200 HP / 252 Def / 56 SpD
nature: Relaxed

Moves
========

Stealth Rock provides entry hazard support that every team appreciates, and Seismitoad is a very reliable user of the move due to its good defenses and typing. Earthquake is a powerful STAB move that hits hard off of base 95 Attack even without investment, allowing Seismitoad to effectively counter the various Steel- and Poison-types in UU. Scald is an alternative STAB move that has a 30% chance to burn, helping to cripple physical attackers and whittle down the foe. Knock Off cripples threatening switch-ins and is another trait that sets Seismitoad apart from Swampert. Toxic is an alternative over Knock Off to spread status around and goes well with Seismitoad's ability to tank moves. Protect is another option to garner a free turn of Leftovers recovery, which Seismitoad will appreciate due to its lack of a form of reliable recovery.

Set Details
========

200 HP EVs maximize Seismitoad's overall bulk and allow it to evenly restore HP with Leftovers. Maximum investment in Defense is needed so that Seismitoad can tank repeated hits from powerful sweepers such as Mega Aerodactyl, Darmanitan, and Feraligatr. A Relaxed nature boosts Seismitoad's Defense and lowers its unimportant Speed while preserving the power of its STAB moves. Leftovers increases Seismitoad's longevity and is important, as it lacks a form of reliable recovery. The remaining EVs are placed into Special Defense to round out Seismitoad's overall bulk. Seismitoad can also run a specially defensive spread of 200 HP / 56 Def / 252 SpD with a Sassy nature to better check Pokemon such as Mega Ampharos, offensive Suicune, and Chandelure.

Usage Tips
========

Aim to use Seismitoad's impressive bulk, resistances, and Water-type immunity in order to switch in and set up Stealth Rock to support your team. Seismitoad's excellent defensive typing makes it a great check to a lot of common offensive threats such as Mega Aerodactyl, Feraligatr, Cobalion, Darmanitan, Entei, and Tyrantrum. Water Absorb makes it immune to the ever-present Scald and allows it to take advantage of Pokemon such as Vaporeon, defensive Empoleon, Tentacruel, and Alomomola. Be sure to utilize Water Absorb and Knock Off, as they are unique traits that give Seismitoad an advantage over its Water / Ground type counterpart, Swampert.

Team Options
========

Seismitoad excels on balanced and defensive teams. Due to its inclination towards tanking physical hits and lack of reliable recovery, it partners extremely well with specially defensive Wish users such as Florges, Umbreon, and Blissey. Wish helps keep Seismitoad healthy and increases its walling potential. Powerful sweepers that benefit from entry hazard support, such as Salamence, Mega Aerodactyl, and Heracross, make for great teammates. Pokemon that synergize well defensively with Seismitoad, especially Grass-types such as Shaymin, Roserade, and Chesnaught, make for great partners. Roserade and Chesnaught can also set up Spikes to complement the Stealth Rock support Seismitoad provides. Fire-, Rock-, and Ground-types such as Darmanitan, Mega Aerodactyl, and Nidoqueen enjoy Seismitoad's ability to absorb Water-type attacks directed at them.

Other Options
########

Seismitoad can utilize a Swift Swim and Rain Dance set to attempt a sweep, but this is usually better left to Mega Swampert, which outclasses it in pretty much every way. Earth Power can be used over Earthquake on the defensive set if you don't want to run a Speed-reducing nature on Seismitoad. Seismitoad has an extensive special movepool, including Grass Knot, Sludge Bomb, and Focus Blast; however, its support moves usually provide more utility.

Checks & Counters
########

**Grass-types**: Grass-types such as Shaymin, Chesnaught, and Whimsicott resist both of Seismitoad's STAB moves and can OHKO it in return.

**Powerful Special Attackers**: Seismitoad's mediocre special bulk means that powerful special sweepers such as Hydreigon and Mega Pidgeot can easily defeat it.

**Status**: Seismitoad dislikes burns and poison, as they whittle down its health while vastly limiting its walling capabilities.

**Wallbreakers**: Despite Seismitoad's decent bulk, dedicated wallbreakers such as Heracross and Mienshao can still break through it with their extremely powerful attacks.
