Grimmsnarl's priority support moves thanks to Prankster and good bulk cement it as one of the best support Pokemon in Series 11. Reflect and Light Screen protect allies like Zacian-C and Venusaur against strong Max Moves such as Landorus-T's Max Quake and Max Airstream. Thunder Wave and Scary Face are great speed control tools, with Thunder Wave hindering the foe with a status and Scary Face slowing down Groudon, Landorus-T and Regieleki. Spirit Break is Grimmsnarl’s only attack, which has the added benefit of reducing the damage output of special attackers such as Kyogre and Venusaur while OHKOing Urshifu-S. Light Clay increases the duration of dual screens, and the EV spread maximizes its physical bulk, allowing it to survive Calyrex-I's Max Steelspike.

Ground-types like Groudon and Landorus-T are great allies for Grimmsnarl, dealing with Zacian-C and Solgaleo. Zacian-C can safely switch into Venusaur's Max Ooze and set up behind Grimmsnarl's dual screens, making it a major threat. Other Dynamax users like Venusaur and Charizard enjoy being behind dual screens, setting residual damage safely. Porygon2, Dusclops, and Mimikyu can survive incoming attacks behind dual screens and set Trick Room or disrupt foes with Eerie Impulse and Will-O-Wisp.

Grimmsnarl's disruptive tools in Trick, Fake Out, and Thunder Wave make it a great support Pokemon in the metagame. The combination of Trick and Lagging Tail greatly disrupts foes, making them move last no matter their Speed, ignoring Landorus-T's and Thundurus's Max Airstream boosts and also removing their item. Thunder Wave and Scary Face don't require a turn to activate, being a quick options to slow down Regieleki, Calyrex-S, and Zacian-C. Fake Out can stop Pokemon like Zacian-C, Groudon, and Porygon2 from moving, while Fake Tears can make bulky Pokemon vulnerable to its allies' special attacks. Spirit Break OHKOes Urshifu-S and weakens Kyogre, Charizard, and Venusaur, protecting its allies from their attacks. A Careful nature allows Grimmsnarl to survive Kyogre's Water Spout and Venusaur's Max Ooze.

Bulky Dynamax Pokemon like Kyogre, Landorus-T, and Venusaur can attack quickly after Grimmsnarl's support and tear foes down after Fake Tears. Zacian-C, Groudon, and Landorus-T can safely set up with Grimmsnarl's Fake Out support and deal with threats like opposing Zacian-C. Kyogre and Torkoal can fire off Water Spouts and Eruptions and quickly remove threats from the field when paired with Grimmsnarl.

Light Screen and Reflect give protect allies like Zacian-C and Venusaur protection against strong Max moves from opponents such as Landorus-T's Max Quake and Max Airstream. Thunder Wave and Scary Face are great Speed control options tools, with Thunder Wave being effective against Solgaleo and Dragapult while hindering them with a status, while Scary Face can slow down Groudon, Landorus-T and Regieleki. Spirit Break is Grimmsnar's only attack, that has the added benefit of reduces reducing the Kyogre's and Venusaur's damage output of special attackers such as Kyogre and Venusaur while OHKOing Urshifu-S. Foul Play is an option to punish Defiant Thundurus, Landorus-T and hit Calyrex-S. Light Clay increases the duration of screens, and the spread maximizes its physical bulk (I would definetly like to have this sentence expanded a bit more. Why maxing its physical bulk instead of special one? can it survive strong hits such as Behemoth blade?).

Ground-types like Groudon and Landorus-T are great allies for Grimmsnarl, dealing with Zacian-C and Dialga Solgaleo. Zacian-C can resist Venusaur's Max Ooze Quake and safely setup behind Grimmsnarl's screens (i presume you meant this, if you meant switch into max ooze that's a different thing and you should clarify it), making it a major threat to the opponent. Other Dynamax targets abusers like Venusaur and Charizard enjoy being behind screens, setting residual damage safely. Porygon2, Dusclops and Mimikyu can survive incoming attacks behind screens and set Trick Room or disrupt the opponent with Eerie Impulse and Will-O-Wisp, respectively.

Evelyie please implement the above and tag me once you do, i can give it the 1/1 afterwards

Implemented it myself as Eve said she didn’t have time to, I wanted to mention how Thunder Wave affects Solgaleo and Dragapult that have Clear Body and Full Metal Body, but I can’t seem to find a good way to write it. Can you help me out on that one?

This is the best I could think of:

Thunder Wave has the advantage over Scary Face against Solgaleo and Dragapult due to ignoring Full Metal Body and Clear Body, respectively.

Obviously, you may need to tweak it a bit depending on where and how you want to mention it.

No, I can’t make it work, let’s leave it like this, should be 1/1 right?
