[SET COMMENTS]
Dwebble can set entry hazards very well and can apply pressure against common hazard removers, namely Vullaby, Golbat, and Magic Bounce Hattrem. It can set both Stealth Rock and Spikes for early-game pressure against other common leads like Piloswine, Clefairy, and Charjabug. Shell Smash gives Dwebble an opportunity to put a large dent into the opposing team while outspeeding faster special attackers like Electabuzz and Kadabra. Sturdy secures opportunities to set hazards or Shell Smash against wallbreakers like Choice Specs Roselia.

Use Dwebble as a lead to set entry hazards immediately, or Shell Smash for early momentum. Entry hazards are usually more worthwhile when Dwebble faces Electabuzz and Pikachu, as their strong Volt Switch into a priority user like Gurdurr or Thwackey would invalidate its sweeping attempts. Spinblockers like Drakloak and Lampent are good teammates for Dwebble, since they can prevent its entry hazards from being removed, while Pokemon like Electabuzz and Taunt Golbat pressure Defog users. Setup sweepers like Klang and Fraxure appreciate the chip damage to wear down their checks. Other offensive Pokemon such as Raboot, Thwackey, and Kadabra pair well with Dwebble, since they can provide momentum after entry hazards have been set down, while Dwebble can weaken walls such as Galarian Corsola, Tangela, and Ferroseed.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Rock Tomb over Stone Edge with a Jolly nature is beneficial for getting an edge against faster Taunt users like Golbat and Electabuzz, as Dwebble chips them and then outspeeds, but comes at the cost of losing a strong STAB attack. Weak Armor with Focus Sash provides more speed so that Dwebble has a better match up against some leads like Raboot and Fake Out Pikachu, but the lack of an Eviolite combined with the Defense drop makes Dwebble less reliable for setting entry hazards against Pokemon like Clefairy and Piloswine.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Gurdurr**: By resisting both of Dwebble's attacks, using Defog to clear entry hazards, and revenge killing Shell Smash sweeps with Mach Punch, Gurdurr is a consistent counter to Dwebble. Dwebble's best bet is to be paired with sweepers that require Gurdurr's Eviolite removed to sweep, less it will be squandered versus it.

**Special Attackers**: Dwebble's special bulk is unsalvageable, and practically any offensive special attacker can 2HKO it. However, thanks to Sturdy, frailer attackers like Galarian Mr. Mime and Magmar fear Shell Smash and Stone Edge.

**Water-types**: Wartortle stomachs Dwebble's attacks while finishing it off with Rapid Spin. Mareanie and Marshtomp threaten with Scald, but may lose their Eviolite in the process.

Dwebble can set entry hazards very well and can apply pressure against common hazard removers namely Vullaby and Togetic and Magic Bounce users such as Hattrem and Natu (Natu is not viable enough to be listed). Stealth Rocks help wear down opposing Pokemon over time. Spikes provide additional damage each time a grounded Pokemon switches in, inflicting large damage when multiple layers are up. (Fluff. Instead mention how its decent physdef lets it set both Stealth Rock and Spikes for early-game pressure against other common setters like Piloswine, Clefairy, and Charjabug.)Shell Smash boosts Dwebbles offensives stats and gives it an opportunity to sweep or put a large dent into the opposing team. Knock Off is useful to remove Eviolite from bulky Pokemon like Galarian Corsola, Machoke, and Tangela. While also being able to hit Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Lampent, Kadabra, and Hattrem. Stone Edge is to apply pressure against Defog users in specific Vullaby and Togetic, while also threatening Fire-types for example Fletchinder and Raboot. (Mention how Sturdy secures opportunities to set hazards against special wallbreakers like Kadabra and Choice Specs Tangela)

Spinblockers like Galarian Corsla and Lampent are good teammates for Dwebble since they can prevent its entry hazards from being removed. (In the same vein, Pokemon like Pikachu and Taunt Galarian Linoone pressure Defog users mid-game for Dwebble) Rapid Spin users namely Wartortle and Staryu can be useful since they cover the Water- and Steel-type weakness Dwebble has and can remove Stealth Rocks since Dwebble takes 25% of its HP from Stealth Rocks (this misses the point because Dwebble is a suicide lead and won’t be taking SR. Rewrite this for something about setup sweepers like Klang and Wartortle appreciate the chip damage from multiple entry hazards to wear down their checks, and Wartortle particularly utilizes Rapid Spin for the team as Dwebble has limited counterplay to opposing hazard setters. This point probs can be then moved to the end of this paragraph.) Offensive Pokemon such as Raboot, Thwackey, and Kadabra go well with Dwebble since they can provide momentum after entry hazards have been set down, while Dwebble can weaken walls such as Galarian Corsola, Tangela, and Klang with Knock Off by removing their Eviolite.

I would like to see this one more time before QC because I think there might be some rearranging and confirmation with some of the suggestions I’m asking for.

Dwebble can set entry hazards very well and can apply pressure against common hazard removers namely Vullaby and Togetic and Magic Bounce Hattrem. Thanks to Dwebble's decent Physical Defense lets it set both Stealth Rocks and Spikes for early-game pressure against other common setters leads like Piloswine, Clefairy, and Charjabug.(writing here a bit shaky, the subject of the sentence being dwebble's physical defense stat is a bit flawed, just change it bulk to make your point more coherent as clefairy and charjabug are not really physical attackers) Shell Smash boosts Dwebbles offensives stats and gives it an opportunity to sweep (dont like the word sweep here since its a lead and you only have one offensive move) or put a large dent into the opposing team. Knock Off is useful to remove Eviolite from bulky Pokemon like Galarian Corsola, Machoke, and Tangela. While also being able to hit Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Lampent, Kadabra, and Hattrem. Stone Edge is to apply pressure against Defog users in specific Vullaby and Togetic, while also threatening Fire-types for example Fletchinder and Raboot. Sturdy secures opportunities to set hazards against special wall breakers like Kadabra and Choice Specs Tangela. (these mentions don't really work, you're never using kadabra as a lead and you're nevel using tang as a lead either, maybe change them to something like Choice Band Raboot or Offensive Machoke [tho the close combat roll is very unlikely, just check incase if you find something better] as they're more common as leads)

Spinblockers like Galarian Corsla and Lampent are good teammates for Dwebble since they can prevent its entry hazards from being removed, while Pokemon like Piloswine and Taunt Galarian Linoone pressure Defog users mid-game (not relevant or really accurate) for Dwebble. Setup sweepers like Klang and Wartortle appreciate the chip damage from multiple entry hazards to wear down their checks, and Wartortle particularly utilizes Rapid Spin for the team as Dwebble has limited counterplay against opposing hazard setters. Offensive Pokemon such as Raboot, Thwackey, and Kadabra go well with Dwebble since they can provide momentum after entry hazards have been set down, while Dwebble can weaken walls such as Galarian Corsola, Tangela, and Klang with Knock Off by removing their Eviolite.

Sturdy secures opportunities to set hazards against special wall(RS)breakers like Choice Band Raboot and offensive Machoke. (You say "special" wallbreakers, but you mention Band Raboot and Machoke. Did you mean "physical" wallbreakers? Do you just want to remove "special" entirely?)

Spinblockers like Galarian Corsola and Lampent are good teammates for Dwebble(AC), since they can prevent its entry hazards from being removed, while Pokemon like Piloswine and Taunt Galarian Linoone pressure Defog users for Dwebble. Setup sweepers like Klang and Wartortle appreciate the chip damage from multiple entry hazards to wear down their checks, and Wartortle particularly notably utilizes Rapid Spin for the team(AC), as Dwebble has limited counterplay against opposing hazard setters.
