Palossand's unique typing and good defensive bulk make it a solid physically defensive wall that can check the likes of Iron Hands, Slither Wing, and non-Stakeout Great Tusk while also spinblocking against Great Tusk and Iron Treads. Stealth Rock can provide entry hazard support, whereas Skill Swap lets Palossand check Aerilate Dragonite and better handle offensive Great Tusk and Regenerator switch-ins. Palossand pairs well with specially defensive walls such as Ice Scales Corviknight and Garganacl that appreciate its ability to take physical hits. Frail offensive attackers that are susceptible to priority like Iron Bundle and Chien-Pao also appreciate Palossand's ability to soak up offensive hits. Palossand can have a tough time dealing with specially offensive Ghost-types like Dragapult and Gholdengo, so paring it with Ting-Lu or Kingambit is recommended. Ceruledge can also pose a problem to Palossand, as it can 2HKO Palossand after Swords Dance and survive any one attack, so paring it with something that can handle Ceruledge like Great Tusk or Iron Hands is advised.
