All added.
Also i might need this to be looked over again. I just decided to not put Bug Buzz, but i'll add it on OO since it's STAB and it does hit a few things harder, but meh better off with what it has to get it's own job done.

I don't think HP Ice even deserves a slash anymore, since the flying scorpion is no longer with us. There's Energy Ball for the Ground-types, and HP Fire for the Grass-types. The only things HP Ice is hitting harder are Dragons and Flying-types. Sewaddle doesn't have any business staying in on the likes of Krow and Vullaby, since they take a pittance from HP Ice and can OHKO Sewaddle in return or get rid of the web with Defog. The only Flying type Sewaddle can comfortably take on is Natu (which itself is pretty uncommon), but even then:
40 SpA Sewaddle Hidden Power Ice vs. 116 HP / 76 SpD Eviolite Natu: 6-8 (27.2 - 36.3%) -- 1.1% chance to 3HKO
even with Light Clay...
40 SpA Sewaddle Hidden Power Ice vs. 116 HP / 76 SpD Natu: 10-12 (45.4 - 54.5%) -- 12.1% chance to 2HKO
So even if Natu gets hit by HP Ice on the switch in, it'll still get its screen(s) up. I realize Pursuit users/Dark-types do give Natu trouble, but if you're predicting the Natu switch-in in the first place, you might as well just switch to your Pursuit user right off the bat. HP Fire is overall much better since it can 2HKO Ferro, and can be boosted by sun. Correct me if I'm missing something with HP Ice, but I think its mostly Other Options material.
EDIT: and sorry if I'm a little late in saying this...

Overview
########
All in all this little bug might Sewaddle does not see much usage due to the increasing popularity in of Spinarak and Surskit. It's six weaknesses,(RC) and middling speed makes it hard for Sewaddle to come in and set up Sticky Web. However Sewaddle has does have some boons over its competition,(AC) namely in defensive prowess, which the other two fall short, Grass typing's new an immunity to powder moves, and the crux of it's usage,(RC) Sticky Web. (I'm not sure if you should mention this last part in the sentence, as both Spinarak and Surskit have Sticky Web.)
SET
Sticky Web Setter
##############
name: Sticky Web Setter
move 1: Sticky Web
move 2: Energy Ball
move 3: Hidden Power Fire / Hidden Power Ice
move 4: Air Slash
ability: Chlorophyll
item: Eviolite
evs: 156 HP / 196 Def / 40 SpA / 116 SpD
nature: Bold
Moves
========
Sticky Web starts off this set gives your team an advantage by slowing down lowering the Speed of the grounded opponents opponent's grounded Pokemon by one stage. This allows for an easier sweep makes it easier for slower, powerful Pokemon to sweep. Energy Ball is the Sewaddle's Pprimary STAB option attack. Hidden Power Fire is used to hit enemy Steels-types such as Ferroseed who which might come switch in to ruin your prevent Sewaddle from setting up Sticky Web,(RC) and it is further powered up by the Ssun. Hidden Power Ice could be an option to also hit Ground- and / Grass-types. Flying types aren'(AP)t affected by Sticky Web so you wont be hitting them Sewaddle should not stay in on them. (There needs to be a description for Air Slash that explains what it does)
Set Details
========
The combination of EVs given EV spread allows for multiple switches into Stealth Rock Sewaddle to switch into Stealth Rock multiple times,(AC) while with maintaining its bulk. Bold is used to take better physical hits much better. Chlorophyll is used the primary ability,(AC) as since Overcoat is quite redundant with the Sewaddle's new immunity to powder moves. Sewaddle isn'(AP)t going to really be used on Sand teams either. Swarm is also slightly bad a mediocre ability,(AC) as since we Sewaddle want enjoys a greater amount of longevity to setup Sticky Web and to hit hard with our its moves now while we it have has the chance.
Usage Tips
========
Set up Sticky Web when you can. Coming in on Water-,(AC) / Fighting-,(AC) and / Ground-type moves to sap up the resisted hits is usually the best way to go. Natu is the only Pokemon with Magic Bouncer in the tier, obviously our making it Sewaddle's worst nightmare. A good thing that is hit supereffectively by Hidden Power Ice. Any non-Eviolite Natu will have to either set(space)up Reflect and Light ScreensScreens or use Roost and or it must risk being trapped by a friendly Dark-type Pokemon with Knock Off /or Pursuit. Sewaddle is also the only Sticky Web use who doesn'(AP)t have to rely on Focus Sash,(AC) as since it has the defenses to take a few non-super effective hits. Unless they are Fire or Flying of course.
Team Options
========
Vulpix is partner number one Sewaddle's best partner. Although Despite sun aggravatinges his Sewaddle's fFire weakness though, but it doubles it's sSpeed (Some benefits of the boosted Speed might be helpful). Pokemon resistant to Fire- and Flying-type moves are the next best things also great partners. Steel-types like such as Pawniard,(RC) and Magnemite,(AC) as well as and Water-types,(AC) like including Slowpoke and Mantyke,(AC) can absorb switch into these hits moves,(AC) while Sewaddle can take those Electric-,(RC) and Ground-type attacks in return aimed at them. Rock-types like such as Archen and Tyrunt also x4 resist Fire- and Flying-type attacks moves,(AC) so they as well make making them excellent defensive partners. Also do not forget sSlower Pokemon who that can utilize Sticky Web to sweep are also excellent partners. Once again Pawniard, and even Meinfoo, Meditite, and Timburr make are good offensive teammates. Offensive Ssun partners who that appreciate some slow down are Sticky Web support include Solar Power Charmander and Helioptile. Getting a free Choice Specs boost and move freedom is a massive boon.
Other Options
########
A Ggimmicky Life Orb Chlorophyll set consisting of SolarBeam(space)/(space)Hidden Power Ice(space)/(space)Bug Buzz(space)/(space)Air Slash is a choice viable option. You Sewaddle can even use Calm Mind to boost it's tankibility increase its longetivity. Sewaddle also has a useful good support move in Sunny Day,(AC) which helps his/her fellow Chlorophyll Pokemon speed up can aide Chlorophyll users. It's also notable that Sewaddle has access to Agility, Iron Defense, Calm Mind and Baton Pass as well. It can use these moves to pass multiple boosts to it's a teammated, aiding in a full Baton Pass chain with Torchic. Bug Buzz is another STAB option,(AC) but it does not hit many Pokemon for super effective damage,(AC) apart from there's not a lot it will hit.(AP) Mostly Purrloin and Psychic-types you outspeed while in Sun. Lastly, Sewaddle gets Magic Coat,(AC) but it's illegal legality issues with Sticky Web makes it a mediocre option in most scenariosand the only real reason to run Sewaddle is for Sticky Web.
Checks & Counters
########
**Multiple Weaknesses Pokemon with Super Effective moves**:Sewaddle has six weaknesses.(AP),(AC) Aall of which are slightly common attacking types too. Even with Sewaddle's semi-high defenses, there is no taking an unSTABed Fire or Flying move it cannot withstand even the weakest of Flying- and Fire-type moves.
**Stealth Rock and Status**:Sewaddle hates dislikes Stealth Rock, as it strips a quarter of it's health away,(RC).(AP) and It is also not fond of status.
**Taunt / Defog**: Defog and Taunt are two moves that makes Sewaddle semi-useless and set(Remove Space)up bait,(AC) respectively. There is no retaliation unless you are Sewaddle cannot retaliate against any common Defog and Taunt users apart from Purrloin,(AC) as.(RP) Since Bug Buzz will maim Purrlion you.
**Specially Bulky Pokemon** It's also notable that any Pokemon with great special bulk can wall Sewaddle the set and set up. Misdreavus and Munchlax is are able to tank anything Sewaddle has and set up their sweeps (This last part makes no sense). Spritzee can also come in on this set and set up Wishes and offensive boosts Sewaddle,(AC) heal off any damage taken,(AC) and set up multiple Calm Minds.

Sticky Web gives your team the advantage by lowering the speed Speed of the opponent's grounded Pokemon by one stage. This makes it easier for slower, powerful Pokemon to sweep. Energy Ball is Sewaddle's primary (it's the only one on the set) obligatory STAB attack. Hidden Power Fire is used to hit enemy Steel-types,(AC) such as Ferroseed,(AC) which might switch in to prevent Sewaddle from setting up Sticky Web (there are no Steel-types that prevent Sticky Web from being set up upon switching in) and it is further powered up by the sun if it is present. Hidden Power Rock could be an is an alternative option to also hit Flying- and Fire-types on the switch-in, nailing Larvesta especially hard.
