[SET COMMENTS]
Froslass is a premier suicide lead Spikes setter on Ghost-teams. A high base 110 Speed stat alongside access to Taunt also allows Froslass to prevent opposing entry hazards from the likes of Ferrothorn and Bronzong and to prevent Defog from Pokemon such as Mandibuzz. Icy Wind is used to slow down faster Pokemon such as Barraskewda and Choice Scarf Excadrill, allowing Froslass to potentially take them out the next turn with Destiny Bond. However, Will-O-Wisp can be used over Destiny Bond to cripple physical attackers such as Grimmsnarl. Focus Sash allows Froslass to survive any one hit and set one layer of Spikes.
Froslass is mainly used on hyper offensive Ghost teams; Pokemon such as Polteageist, Mimikyu, Dragapult, Gengar, and Aegislash all take advantage of Spikes support, as they appreciate chip damage racking up on opposing Pokemon. Froslass can also form an entry hazard setting core with Stealth Rock users such as Runerigus to further stack hazards. Watch out for priority users such as Mimikyu and Aegislash, as they can OHKO Froslass if Focus Sash is not intact; faster threats such as Weavile and Dragapult also outspeed and OHKO Froslass. Faster hazard setters such as Ribombee can freely set up Sticky Web before Froslass is able to use Taunt on them.
