[SET COMMENTS]
Froslass is able to make a great suicide lead thanks to its high Speed stat and is great for its access to entry hazards, Taunt, and Destiny Bond. Spikes are great to pressure switch-ins and get chip damage on the opponent's Pokemon. Taunt enable Froslass to shut down other Pokemon from getting up Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes, or Spikes. Destiny Bond can be used to take down a Pokemon with it. Shadow Ball allows Froslass to 2HKO Hatterene that would otherwise bounce Spikes back. Froslass should be used as a lead most of the time to get up Spikes and try to take a Pokemon down with it with Destiny Bond. It can also be saved for later in the game to stop common Rapid Spin users such as Excadrill from getting rid of Spikes thanks to its Ghost typing.
Stealth Rock setters such as Mamoswine and Piloswine work great with Froslass to form an entry hazard-stacking duo to pressure Pokemon from being able to switch in and out, as well as making it easier for Cloyster and Weavile to sweep. Wallbreakers and setup sweepers such as Mamoswine, Kyurem-B and Cloyster appreciate Froslass's Spikes to chip down the opposing team and make them easier to get rid of. However, Froslass will struggle to set up Spikes later in the game if there are entry hazards down that can break its Focus Sash, so partners such as Avalugg and Galarian Mr. Mime go well with it. Froslass also struggles against Pokemon that can attack and KO it with priority moves like Aegislash, so partners such as Galarian Darmanitan and Lapras are needed, as they can take care of it.
