Froslass is one of the many viable leads of RU due to its good Speed stat and access to Spikes and Taunt. Froslass can be powerful against slower teams, as they may have trouble stopping it from setting Spikes. Spikes allows offensive teammates, such as Bisharp and Armarouge, to more easily break through slower Pokemon like Hippowdon, Empoleon, and Hisuian Goodra. 100 Attack EVs let Froslass OHKO Cyclizar with Triple Axel or Avalanche. Avalanche works best with Destiny Bond, allowing Froslass to attack with negative priority the turn after using Destiny Bond to force a slower threat to hit it while Destiny Bond is still active; however, Avalanche's negative priority means it is easier to deal direct damage when using Triple Axel. Will-O-Wisp is useful to cripple opponents who may want to lead against it such as Barraskewda, Mamoswine, and Bisharp. Destiny Bond allows Froslass to trade with threats that would otherwise ignore Will-O-Wisp and Triple-Axel such as Volcanion, Empoleon, and Hisuian Goodra and works best alongside Avalanche. Taunt is a powerful tool to stop slower foes such as Empoleon and Krookodile from setting entry hazards and deny setup moves from threats such as Bisharp and Armarouge. Tera Steel is chosen to help against foes such as Kleavor and Terrakion; however, Terastallizing Froslass instead of other teammates should not be necessary outside of emergencies because it doesn't mind getting KOed early.

As a dedicated lead, Froslass fits exclusively on hyper offense teams, which benefit the most from dedicating a slot to reliably setting entry hazards while stopping the opponent from placing their own. As Spikes can be easily removed, a spinblocker such as Mimikyu or Colbur Berry Golurk can prove useful, with the latter also helping stack even more hazards for further chip damage. Specially offensive teammates such as Armarouge and Hisuian Zoroark can come in for free on Galarian Weezing's Defog and take advantage of Spikes to better deal with special walls such as Hisuian Goodra and Empoleon. Hisuian Zoroark in particular can effectively bait in Galarian Weezing with its Illusion ability if disguised as a physically offensive teammate, further helping teammates while giving Galarian Weezing fewer opportunities to use Defog. Bisharp works well to punish Defog, but its weakness to Will-O-Wisp can make switching in on Talonflame and Galarian Weezing dangerous. Pokemon such as Salamence, Hisuian Zoroark, and Armarouge that would normally run Heavy-Duty Boots also benefit greatly from Froslass denying the opponent from setting up Stealth Rock, as it allows them to run items such as Lum Berry, Throat Spray, and Weakness Policy, respectively.

Froslass is one of the many viable leads of Rarely Used RU, with it’s main niche being it’s access to Spikes and Taunt alongside a good speed stat. because of Due to it’s passivity and difficulty to hit Steel types, some more threatening fast Taunt leads such as Lycanroc-Dusk or Terrakion may be preferred. Spikes can be powerful tools against slower teams, who may have more trouble stopping Froslass from setting spikes while also being hindered more by Spikes’ chip damage to Stealth Rock resists, such as Hippowdon, Empoleon, (AC) and Goodra-Hisui Hisuian Goodra, allowing teammates such as Bisharp and Armarouge to more easily break through. Another advantage of Froslass is it’s deep movepool, with it’s access to Will-O-Wisp to cripple opponents who may want to lead against it such as Crawdaunt (Crawdaunt isn't relevant enough in general you should only talk about Pokemon above B rank unless there is no better option. Barraskewda is a good replacement here), Mamoswine, (AC) and Bisharp. Avalanche works best with Destiny Bond, allowing you to attack with negative priority the turn after using Destiny Bond to force a slower threat to hit you while Destiny Bond is still active, while also doing some damage, although it does less (removed some words and reworded it) than Triple Axel, (AC) which is preferred because of it’s ability to get a guaranteed OHKO on full HP Cyclizar with 92 atk Evs. with 92 attack Evs on full HP Cyclizar. Tera Steel is chosen for its defensive merits to help against foes such as Kleavor or Terrakion, however, Tera should not be necessary outside of emergencies because Froslass doesn’t mind getting KOed early and because Tera is better abused by teammates.

As a dedicated lead, Froslass fits exclusively on Hyper Offense hyper offense teams who benefits the most from dedicating a slot to reliably setting hazards while stopping the opponent from placing their own. As the Spikes can be easily removed, (AC) a Spinblocker such as Mimikyu or Colbur Berry Golurk can prove useful, the latter also helping stack even more hazards for further hazard chip. Specially attacking teammates such as Armarouge or Zoroark-Hisui Hisuian Zoroark can also work as Defog deterrents for Weezing-Galar Galarian Weezing while benefiting from Spikes’ damage to Special walls that would otherwise shrug off damage from Stealth Rock such as Goodra-Hisui or Empoleon. Zoroark-Hisui Hisuian Zoroark in particular can effectively bait in Weezing-Galar Galarian Weezing with it’s Illusion ability if disguised as a physical attacking teammate, further helping teammates while guaranteeing Weezing-Galar Galarian Weezing never gets an opportunity to Defog. Allies such as Salamence, Zoroark-Hisui Hisuian Zoroark, (AC) and Armarouge also benefit greatly from Froslass denying the opponent from setting up Stealth Rock as it allows them to run items such as Lum Berry, Throat Spray, (AC) and Weakness Policy respectively, without having to worry about Stealth Rock crippling them.

The content is pretty good, but grammar needs to be worked on, which will come with practice and time. Main things are to remember that its Hisuian or Galarain X mon, and to not forget the commas, i.e. its x, y, and z.
Implement and then move onto QC2
