Clodsire @ Icium Z
name: Water Absorb (Ground)
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 160 Def / 96 SpD
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Poison Jab
- Haze
- Recover

[SET COMMENTS]
Due to its incredible bulk and the ability to neutralize Water-type moves with Water Absorb, Clodsire is a staple for Ground teams, as it is able to stop threats such as Pelipper, Tapu Fini, and Rotom-W. Poison Jab not only spreads status but also lets it hit Grass- and Fairy-type Pokemon such as Tapu Bulu, Ogerpon-W, and Enamorus. Pairing Haze up with Icium Z allows Clodsire the ability to recover any damage from setup sweepers such as Volcarona, Ogerpon-W, and Kommo-o. The given EV spread allows Clodsire avoid a 2KHO from Choice Scarf Meowscarada with Flower Trick, unboosted Ogerpon-W with Horn Leech, and Choice Scarf Greninja with Ice Beam. Landorus provides an immunity to Ground-type moves that threaten Clodsire and offensively threatens Pokemon like Tapu Bulu, Celebi, and Archaludon. Hippowdon is a phenomenal defensive teammate, as it provides Stealth Rock support along with setting sand upon switching in. Hippowdon also defensively supports Clodsire by checking the likes of Ceruledge, Great Tusk, and Iron Hands. Excadrill, in conjunction with sand, is a powerful wallbreaker for Clodsire that can outspeed many Pokemon and deal raw damage with a Choice Band, checking threats such as Tapu Lele, Greninja, and Mega Gallade. Garchomp is an effective teammate that assists by checking Dragon-type threats such as Kommo-o and Kyurem. Mamoswine is another great teammate for Clodsire, as its Ice typing and powerful STAB moves assists in checking threats like the Landorus formes and Dragonite. Both Mamoswine and Garchomp deal offensive pressure to Steel- and Flying types such as Celesteela and Corviknight, which Clodsire cannot do on its own.

Gliscor also has reliable hazard setup such as Stealth Rock or Spikes to provide residual damage for Clodsire. (Add Lando-i instead.) Hippowdon is a great defensive teammate for Clodsire as its bulk helps in tanking Physical threats such a as Ceruledge, Great Tusk, and Iron Hands. (can also mention how it provides Stealth Rock support as well.) Excadrill paired with Clodsire is a excellent teammate that provides raw damage with a Choice Band, and the ability to threaten faster foes under sand such as Tapu Lele Ogerpon-C, GreninjaUrshifu-R, and Mega Gallade Mega-Charizard-X.

Haze stops any setup that hit's Clodsire on it's specially defensive side such as Volcarona or (Sinistcha? Kommo-o?) Blacephalon. Pairing Haze up with Icium Z allows Clodsire the ability to also recover any damage (Which is pretty useful for Volcaroo, +2 Oger-W, and Kommy. You can kill the Haze line [the previous sentence] if you mention this here). With 160 Ev's in defense, Clodsire is able to avoid a 2kho from Choice Scarf Flower Trick Meowscarada (and unboosted oger-w I believe?) and also Choice Scarf Greninja with Ice beam. Landorus provides a immunity to Ground-type moves that threaten Clodsire and , while maintaining its status as a Wallbreaker that helps Clodsire by checking offensively threatens Pokemon like Tapu Bulu, Celebi, and Ting-Lu (a bit sketchy, since Ting can carry H.Slam and that kinda hurts.

Hippowdon also provides Stealth Rock support. Excadrill paired with Clodsire is a excellent teammate that provides raw damage with a Choice Band, and the ability to threaten faster foes under sand such as Tapu Lele, Greninja, and Mega Gallade.

Mamoswine is another great teammate for Clodsire as its Ice typing and powerful stab assists by checking threats like the Landorus formes and Dragonite. (Perhaps mamo and chompers exerting pressure onto steel birds which Clod cant would be a good mention too?)

*You dont need the word "another effective team mate" since its sort of implied.
