[SET COMMENTS]
Froslass is the main dual screens setter for hyper offense teams in RU that also provides many other forms of support for its teammates such as Spikes, Taunt, and Destiny Bond. However, outside of this role, Froslass has nearly no use in RU. Taunt prevents setup sweepers, walls, and various utility Pokemon such as Reuniclus, Golisopod, Milotic, and Togekiss from taking advantage of Froslass's rather passive nature. Icy Wind, on the other hand, gives Froslass some offensive presence, a better matchup against common Defoggers, and the ability to slow down faster threats like Noivern. Destiny Bond is an option to remove an opposing Pokemon from the battlefield safely if Froslass has no more use. However, this move is typically used on a Spikes lead set and is hard to fit over another move on this set.
Strong setup sweepers such as Linoone, Cloyster, and Mimikyu appreciate Froslass's dual screens support, as they have an easier time setting up. In addition, they also appreciate their typical checks being worn down by Froslass's Spikes. Unfortunately, Froslass invites many Pokemon such as Incineroar, Metagross, and Reuniclus onto the battlefield due to its lack of offensive presence. As a result, teammates that check these Pokemon such as Dragon Dance Necrozma, Barbaracle, and Rhyperior are important. Since Infiltrator users like Noivern and Crobat are troublesome for offensive dual screens teams, setup sweepers that check and take advantage of them such as Slurpuff, Polteageist, and Tyrantrum are good choices too. Other utility Pokemon such as Misty Terrain + Memento Galarian Weezing and Sticky Web Ribombee pair well with Froslass to additionally support these setup sweepers.
