[SET COMMENTS]
Whiscash leverages its bulk and valuable resistances to Poison- and Rock-type attacks and Electric immunity to create opportunities for sweeping. These traits allow Whiscash to set up Dragon Dance without fear of being KOed, since it can easily take Muk's Poison Jab and Lairon's Head Smash thanks to its resistances while avoiding 2HKOs from Grumpig's Psychic and Persian's Return. Waterfall's chance to flinch enables Whiscash to more easily break through walls like Hypno and physically defensive Clefairy. It also hits Pokemon immune to Earthquake, like Solrock and Emolga, for huge damage. Substitute shields it from status from defensive behemoths like Solrock and Wormadam-S. While Anticipation is a mediocre ability, it has the ability to scout for Seed Bomb on Arbok, which is otherwise setup fodder, as well as Giga Drain on Ivysaur. 172 HP EVs allow Whiscash to create 101 HP Substitutes, while 136 Speed EVs allow it to outspeed base 80 Speed Pokemon like Arbok and Grumpig after one boost and Persian after two.

Grass-types are Whiscash's worst nightmare to face off against, and they must be removed before executing a successful sweep; offensive and defensive checks to them like Muk, Simisear, and Wormadam-S can force them out. In return, Whiscash offers good defensive benefits by blocking Volt Switch and switching into defensive staples like Muk and Clefairy, though it must be wary of status and Knock Off, respectively. Even at +1, Whiscash can struggle to blast past walls like Vullaby and Ivysaur; special wallbreakers like Raichu and Glaceon can threaten them out with their power and coverage. Water-types like Walrein and Pelipper also are problematic, since they have the physical bulk to shrug off anything Whiscash can do and threaten it out with attacks or status. Checks to them like Walrein and Muk can not only threaten them but also can use their strong offense to apply further pressure for Whiscash. Faster revenge killers like Persian and Choice Scarf users like Glaceon and Simisear with Hidden Power Grass can jeopardize Whiscash's sweeping attempts, so walls like Solrock and Frillish can preserve Whiscash's longevity. Pokemon like Persian, Emolga, and Lopunny all appreciate Whiscash defensively handling Lairon.

Whiscash leverages its bulk and valuable resistances to Poison- and Rock-type attacks to create ease its opportunities for sweeping. Said traits allow Whiscash to Dragon Dance without fear of being KO'd, able to easily take Muk's Poison Jab and Lairon's Head Smash thanks to its resistances, while avoiding 2HKOs from Grumpig's Psychic and Persian's Return. Waterfall's chance for a flinch enables it to more easily break through walls like Hypno and physically defensive Clefairy. It also hits Pokemon immune to Earthquake, like Solrock and Emolga, for huge damage. Substitute shields it from status from defensive behemoths like Solrock Staryu and Wormadam-T. While Anticipation is a mediocre ability, it has the ability to scout for Seed Bomb on Arbok, who is otherwise setup fodder, as well as Giga Drain on Ivysaur. it can scout for a potential Hidden Power Grass from Pokemon like Simisear and Raichu. It cannot do this. 172 HP EVs allow Whiscash to create 101 HP Substitutes, while 136 EVs allows it to outspeed base 80 Pokemon like Arbok and Grumpig after one boost and Persian after two. The rest of the EVs and an Adamant nature are used to for as much power as possible. 84 Speed EVs allows it to outspeed base 70 Speed Pokemon like Arbok Exploud and Walrein Irrelevant and Walrein is 65? after a boost. I revised the spread as it is old

Grass-types are Whiscash's worst nightmare to face off against, and they must be removed before executing a successful sweep; offensive and defensive checks to them like Muk, Simisear, and Wormadam-T can force them out. In return, Whiscash offers good defensive benefits by blocking Volt Switch and switch-in opportunities against staples like Muk and Clefairy weak walls like Wormadam-S and Hippopotas, though it must be wary of status and Knock Off respectively. Even at +1, Whiscash can struggle to blast past walls like Vullaby and Ivysaur Shelgon and Frillish; special wallbreakers like Raichu and Glaceon can threaten them out with their power and coverage. Flying-types Water-types like Walrein Vullaby and Pelipper also are problematic, since they have the physical bulk to shrug off anything Whiscash can do and threaten it out with attacks or status. Checks to them like Walrein and Muk and Mr. Mime can not only threaten them away, but also can use their strong offense to apply further pressure for Whiscash utility moves like Toxic and Trick to further disrupt the opposition. Faster revenge killers like Persian and Choice Scarf users like Glaceon and Simisear with Hidden Power Grass can jeopardize Whiscash's sweeping attempts, so walls like Solrock and Frillish can preserve Whiscash's longevity.
