A unique defensive typing, reliable recovery, and remarkable special bulk enhanced by Vessel of Ruin allow Clodsire to check prominent special attackers like Iron Moth, Noivern, Gengar, and non-Earth Eater Gholdengo. Toxic can cripple non-grounded Pokemon such as Noivern and Dragonite as well as Heavy-Duty Boots users like Volcarona and Scream Tail. Toxic Spikes and Poison Jab are better on Prankster sets to punish Dark-types such as Meowscarada, Roaring Moon, and Ting-Lu; in particular, Toxic Spikes lets Clodsire match up well against hyper offense teams filled with setup sweepers. Prankster + Haze allows Clodsire to shut down setup sweepers, like Volcarona and Polteageist, while they whittle down from poison damage. Pokemon like Garganacl and Scream Tail form a hazard-stacking core with Clodsire, and Good as Gold spinblockers like Skeledirge make great teammates as well. Physical walls like the aforementioned Pokemon, Corviknight, and Dondozo handle physical threats such as Baxcalibur, Dragonite, Great Tusk, and Earth Eater Kingambit that can exploit Clodsire's poor physical bulk.
