NU Dhelmise (QC 1/1) (GP 1/1)

[banks]

Dhelmise @ Choice Band
Ability: Steelworker
EVs: 52 HP / 252 Atk / 204 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Anchor Shot
- Power Whip
- Earthquake
- Knock Off

Choice Band Dhelmise is one of the tier's premier wallbreakers, being an absolute menace for stall to face with monumental Attack stat. Thanks to its decent defensive stats and Ghost / Grass typing, it's able to come in against Slowbro, Steelix, Rhydon, and Heliolisk and severely dent them with Power Whip. Its ability Steelworker greatly bolsters Anchor Shot's power, KOing Braviary after Stealth Rock and 2HKOing Guzzlord. Anchor Shot also traps foes, hindering defensive pivots like Vileplume and Golbat. Earthquake nails incoming Fire-types like Incineroar, KOing it after the Intimidate drop and Stealth Rock. Knock Off removes Ferroseed's and Golbat's Eviolites, reducing their bulk significantly. Dark-types like Incineroar and Sneasel are great partners for Dhelmise, dealing with Ghost-types as well as Ice-, Fire-, and opposing Dark-types. Passimian is also a nice teammate, pivoting out against Slowbro and Rotom for Dhelmise and the aforementioned Dark-types to deal with.

Replace Passimian with Heliolisk, and maybe mention Torterra too. Perhaps you can mention it has an amazing matchup versus stall in the opening sentence? And also something about being able to trap stuff like Vileplume with Anchor Shot, making it a nightmare for certain balance cores. Looks good, QC 1/1
