Moves
========
- Icicle Crash is Alolan Sandslash's strongest and most reliable Ice-type STAB move, threatening to hit foes such as Oricorio-G and Scyther
- Iron Head is Alolan Sandslash's second STAB move and allows it to hit the likes of Froslass, Aurorus and Lycanroc
- Earthquake allows Alolan Sandslash to hit Qwilfish and opposing Alolan Sandslash hard
- Rapid Spin keeps Alolan Sandslash's side of the field clear of entry hazards while retaining its own hazards on the opponent's side.
========
- Choice Scarf with Jolly and max Speed maximises Alolan Sandslash's ability to revenge kill Pokemon, out speeding as much as it possibly can.
- Max Attack is to enhance its wall breaking capabilities.
========
- Use Alolan Sandslash as an offensive check to Pokemon like Oricorio-E and Oricorio-G as Alolan Sandslash can capitalize of their moves and effectively revenge kill
- Rapid Spin should be used as a last resort if its needed to remove hazards for the endgame so its teammates can come in safely, Rapid Spin should also be used on a prediction, never use it when you know the opponent us staying.
- Alolan Sandslash can also be used as a late game cleaner without the reliance of hail. However its not reliable due to priority Mach Punch which is common and the prominent Fighting types.
========
- Due to the great synergy between hazard setters and removers, Alolan Sandslash pairs great with hazard setters like Qwilfish and Mudsdale as the speed lets Alolan Sandslash outpace the removers and threatens them
- Slow pivots like Eelektross lets Alolan Sandslash come in safely allowing Alolan Sandslash to revenge kill effectively
