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.
