[SET COMMENTS]
With outstanding physical bulk, a superb defensive typing and acess to the boost ignoring unaware exacerbated by it's Curse, Dondozo is one of the tankiest walls in the tier, capable of taking on most physical attackers the meta has to offer, including the likes of Mega Charizard X, Kingambit, Mega Gyarados and SD Cinderace. Body Press is mandatory over it's STAB on the moveset as it allows Dondozo to hit Ogerpon-Wellspring, Kingambit and Mega Gyarados, the latter being especially important for it's infamous stallbreaking nature. Heavy-duty Boots allow Dondozo to ignore hazards entirely, who'd otherwise greatly hinder it's ability to sit on the plethora of physical attackers present in the tier.
Despite of Dozo's amazing defensive capabilities, it's lack of reliable recovery, situational ability and weak offensive presence without getting multiple boosts make it extremely exploitable and easy to play around, thus only finding it's place on dedicated stall teams which don't mind being passive. Clodsire and Blissey are stellar teammates, as they cover for Dozo's weaker special defense, Clodsire can be an especially good teammate, as it's typing and amazing special bulk let it wall Tapu Koko, who resists body press, disables Rest and hits it super effectively, Shedinja is also a good teammate as it deals with and Ogerpon-Wellspring lacking Knock Off and non Subroost Kyurem, preferably alongside Blissey so Kyurem's pressure can be managed more easily, Corviknight and Mega Sableye are also teammates to consider due to their ability to control the hazards in field effectively because of Defog and Magic Bounce respectively, allowing Dondozo to not mind losing boots as much, both Pokemon also check common hazards setters like Landorus-therian, Great Tusk and Ting Lu.
