[SET COMMENTS]
With excellent Speed, a diverse utility movepool, and Spikes, Froslass is as an elite Spikes setter and spinblocker. Taunt shuts down opposing entry hazard setters like Qwilfish, Blissey, and Sandaconda while also preventing Defog from the likes of Braviary and Lurantis. Ice Beam puts additional pressure on the aforementioned Defoggers and targets other walls like Sandaconda and Appletun. Shadow Ball provides higher damage on targets like Mesprit and Ghost-types like Rotom-A and opposing Froslass. Will-O-Wisp cripples physical attackers like Coil Dudunsparce, Hisuian Sneasel, and Scyther. While Tera Dark is situational, it can become a Knock Off sponge and wall Sableye while inverting its Dark and Ghost weaknesses.
Stealth Rock setters like Bombirdier and Sandaconda contribute to the hazard stacking Froslass provides, with the former removing opposing Heavy-Duty Boots with Knock Off. Wallbreakers like Bruxish and Pyroar can put foes into KO range faster thanks to the extra chip damage. VoltTurn users such as Scyther, Jolteon, and Magneton can not only help bring Froslass in safely, but also wear down other walls like Muk, Appletun, and Umbreon. Defensive walls like Blissey and Sandaconda can circumvent Froslass's low bulk with their reliable recovery and can sponge status moves.
