[OVERVIEW]
Froslass makes for a capable wallbreaker thanks to its usable Attack and great Speed tier combined with its unique typing. It also has access to utility moves such as Trick and Spikes, allowing it to cripple and overwhelm its answers; it can even run a dedicated Spikes set, although it becomes much weaker without a boosting item. However, its below average Attack often leaves it over-reliant on its own Spikes to get past defensive behemoths like Vaporeon and Regirock, while its typing and bulk leave it easily revenge killed by faster threats such as Talonflame, Choice Scarf Togedemaru, and Sneasel as well as priority moves like Sucker Punch and Accelrock.

[SET]
name: Choice Band
move 1: Poltergeist
move 2: Triple Axel / Icicle Crash
move 3: Trick / Ice Shard
move 4: Spikes
item: Choice Band
ability: Cursed Body
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Triple Axel is a strong, albeit unreliable, STAB move. Icicle Crash is an option, as it's more reliable despite being weaker; it also avoids Rocky Helmet and Flame Body from the likes of Sandaconda and Talonflame. Trick allows Froslass to cripple its answers such as Scrafty and Aromatisse, while Ice Shard allows it to revenge kill foes like Ribombee. Despite seeming odd on a set using a Choice item, Spikes lets Froslass take advantage of the many Pokemon it forces out. Froslass's subpar bulk means it appreciates being brought in via partners like Heliolisk and Passimian; the former can also take advantage of Vaporeon while the latter acts as a Defog deterrent, and they both appreciate the Spikes Froslass sets. Pokemon like Quiver Dance Ribombee and Dragon Dance Charizard have an easier time cleaning late-game after Froslass has weakened down walls such as Regirock, Vaporeon, and Silvally-Steel.

[SET]
name: Spikes
move 1: Spikes
move 2: Taunt
move 3: Ice Beam
move 4: Shadow Ball
item: Heavy-Duty Boots
ability: Cursed Body
nature: Jolly
evs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Froslass's great Speed and typing make it a potent Spikes setter, as it's capable of pressuring common spinners such as Tsareena. Taunt prevents Pokemon like Articuno from recovering and also allows Froslass to keep its Spikes on the field against Defog users like Silvally-Fairy. Wallbreakers like Magmortar and Virizion greatly appreciate the Spikes Froslass sets, as it gives them an easier time breaking through defensive behemoths like Gigalith and Garbodor, respectively. They can also both pressure common Defog users that Froslass struggles against like Silvally-Steel and Charizard. Pokemon like Regirock, Weezing, and Lanturn can switch into threats such as Lycanroc, Choice Scarf Passimian, and Talonflame that force out Froslass, respectively.

However, its below average attack often leaves it over reliant on its own Spikes to get past defensive behemoths like Vaporeon add another here imo like regi, while its typing and bulk leave it easily revenge killed by faster threats such as Talonflame, Choice Scarf Togedemaru and Passimian, and Ribombee idt you need 4 examples, but mention smth else /remove ribombee since it cant OHKO. mention priority like sucker punch and accelerock

Triple Axel is a strong, albeit unreliable, STAB move. Icicle Crash is an option, as it's more reliable despite being weaker name a calc if possible, def mention avoiding rocky helmet (polt avoids obv but can b nice vs like conda). Trick allows Froslass to cripple its answers such as Vaporeon and Regirock, while Ice Shard allows it to revenge kill foes like Ribombee. Despite seeming odd on a set using a Choice item, Froslass can take advantage of the many Pokemon it forces out to set Spikes maybe note how it can generally be a nice mid-ground play. Heavy-Duty Boots are an option over Choice Band but the power difference is notable note that boots lass should be special, perhaps mention toward the end? and add how it (special) is not unusable in general. Froslass's subpar bulk means it appreciates being brought it via partners like Heliolisk and Passimian; the former can also take advantage of Vaporeon while the latter acts as a Defog deterrent, and they both appreciate the Spikes Froslass sets. Pokemon like Quiver Dance Ribombee and Dragon Dance Charizard have an easier time cleaning late-game after Froslass has weakened down walls such as Regirock, Vaporeon, and Silvally-Steel optional but i think vaporeon should be cut since it's not really easy to keep low for late game, lass only rly deals w it if it gets off the trick.

[OVERVIEW]
Froslass makes for a capable wallbreaker thanks to its usable Attack and great Speed tier I feel like the unique coverage is critical, probably wouldn't notice it so much if fast poltergeist wasn't so rare and good. It also has access to utility moves such as Trick and Spikes, allowing it to cripple and overwhelm its answers, respectively. However, its below average attack often leaves it over reliant on its own Spikes to get past defensive behemoths like Vaporeon and Regirock, while its typing and bulk leave it easily revenge killed by faster threats such as Talonflame, Choice Scarf Togedemaru, and Sneasel as well as priority moves like Sucker Punch and Accelrock. Accelerock has 2 e's
doesnt seem like u added anything here w/the other set, should probably have something like "it can commit entirely to spikes but is much weaker"

Triple Axel is a strong, albeit unreliable, STAB move. Icicle Crash is an option, as it's more reliable despite being weaker; it also avoids Rocky Helmet and Flame Body from the likes of Sandaconda and Talonflame. Trick allows Froslass to cripple its answers such as Vaporeon and Regirock these are the same exact examples from the overview, while Ice Shard allows it to revenge kill foes like Ribombee. Despite seeming odd on a set using a Choice item, Froslass can take advantage of the many Pokemon it forces out to set Spikes, and it's a decent mid-ground play this seems unnecessary when you just said "do it when forcing something out". Froslass's subpar bulk means it appreciates being brought it via partners like Heliolisk and Passimian; the former can also take advantage of Vaporeon while the latter acts as a Defog deterrent, and they both appreciate the Spikes Froslass sets. Pokemon like Quiver Dance Ribombee and Dragon Dance Charizard have an easier time cleaning late-game after Froslass has weakened down walls such as Regirock, Vaporeon again with the same things, and Silvally-Steel.

Froslass's great Speed and typing make it a potent Spikes setter, as it's capable of pressuring common Rapid spinners such as Tsareena. Taunt prevents Pokemon like Aromatisse the one aroma veil mon :s cuno/dino work but it's more for general taunt utility and the defog that u already mention from recovering and also allows Froslass to keep its Spikes on the field against Defog users like Silvally-Fairy. Wallbreakers like Magmortar and Virizion greatly appreciate the Spikes Froslass sets, as it gives them an easier time breaking through defensive behemoths like Gigalith and Garbodor, respectively. They can also both pressure common Defog users that Froslass struggles against like Silvally-Steel and Charizard. Pokemon like Regirock, Weezing, Lanturn can switch into threats such as Lycanroc, Choice Scarf Passimian, and Talonflame that force out Froslass, respectively.
