Piloswine @ Eviolite
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard / Freeze-Dry
- Icicle Spear

Piloswine often finds switch-ins, thanks to its alright bulk empowered with Eviolite, and Thick Fat, so I thought that a Curse set would fit decently. Piloswine's speed doesn't really get affected because it's bad anyway lol. Earthquake and Icicle Spear end up to be a nice STAB core. This basically provides a fat setup sweeper if your team needs a check to problematic fire-types which can also put something else in work on the offensive side. Freeze-Dry is used for le epic baits n lures of Pelipper(no sdef pls). Otherwise you can use Ice Shard to finish off KOs.

Piloswine @ Eviolite
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 116 Atk / 140 SpA / 252 Spe
Rash Nature
- Freeze-Dry
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock

Freeze Dry is a pretty cool move on Piloswine which allows it to take on Pokemon such as Pelipper, Swanna, and Poliwrath a bit better. The given EV spread allows Piloswine to OHKO SpD Pelipper with Stealth Rock, as well as dealing 40% to Special Tank Poliwrath. The maximum Speed even allows Piloswine to tie with Golem and Armaldo, as well as outpace Relicanth and Probopass.

Piloswine @ Focus Sash
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Endeavor
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake

Basically takes Mamoswine's Lead set and use it on Piloswine. Everything else is standard with Endeavor used over Icicle Spear to better handle switch ins like Poliwrath and Pelipper to bring them down to 1% HP thanks to Focus Sash and finish them off with Ice Shard next turn.

Piloswine @ Custap Berry
Ability: Oblivious
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Endure
- Endeavor

Play like a normal (less bulky) Piloswine and set up rocks, use earthquake, whatever. Then when something like Simipour comes in to revenge kill you, use endure, get yourself to 1 HP, activate Custap Berry, and bop them with Endeavor.

ManOfMany If a Poliwrath comes in and takes you down to one HP I'd assume it's going to use Vacuum Wave the next turn and kill you off seeing shenanigans barring if it's Choice locked.

Piloswine @ Eviolite
Ability: Thick Fat / Oblivious
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpA
Lonely Nature
- Icy Wind
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Icicle Crash / Icicle Spear / Ice Shard

Piloswine can use Icy Wind to lower the opponent's speed so it makes it easier for revenge killers to KO. Other than that this is a standard set, with Rocks and Ice/Ground coverage.
 
There's a Piloswine that's pretty close to the standard and a great alternative if you still want Piloswine's Type coverage / bulky offensive capabilities, but already have Stealth Rock on a different Pokemon on your team:

Deutsches Schwein (Piloswine) @ Eviolite
Ability: Thick Fat
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 232 HP / 252 Atk / 24 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ice Shard
- Toxic
- Earthquake
- Roar

Toxishuffler 'Swine. The EVs and moveset are pretty variable; you can choose to run full HP / Def, full HP / SpDef, or even speed creep a bit to beat Probopass and other base 50s in order to throw your opponent off (this spread hits 142 speed while yielding an odd number of HP, which outpaces speed creeping Probopass, 60 Machoke, Lickilicky, etc.). What's notable here is that this Piloswine can wear down its normal switch-ins with Toxic, instead of using that turn to setup Stealth Rock if you already have a stronger SR lead on your team.
 
Fairly certain raiza started it which is why I didn't vote for him
