:sv/garganacl:

Losing to this set feels sorta like those times someone puts stalt instead of sugar in their coffee lol

[SET]
name: Salty Stall
move 1: Salt Cure
move 2: Protect
move 3: Recover
move 4: Substitute / Fissure / Stealth Rock
item: Leftovers
ability: Purifying Salt
nature: Impish
tera type: Flying / Ghost / Steel
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

* With some entry hazard support, this Garganacl can be very difficult to outstall, thanks to the constant passive damage from Salt Cure.

* Protect not only scouts for surprise Tera types, but it also goes well with the passive healing from Leftovers.

* Substitute makes Garganacl even more difficult to properly switch into, providing protection against Trick, OHKO moves, and opposing Salt Cure.

* Garganacl's great bulk makes it a prime candidate for fishing with Fissure itself, though its low PP can be an issue in mirror matches.

* Since this set benefits so much from Stealth Rock support, running it on its own is a reasonable sacrifice if Garganacl needs to be more self-sufficient.

Tera Types
========

* **Flying**: Tera Flying gets rid of the Ground and Fighting weaknesses, and it makes Fissure no longer an issue.

* **Ghost**: While removing Purifying Salt's Ghost resistance is a shame, Tera Ghost does wonderfully against Corviknight and opposing Garganacl due to the Body Press immunity.

* **Steel**: Tera Steel gives Garganacl a better matchup against Gholdengo thanks to the Make It Rain resistance.

* **Grass**: Tera Grass gives Garganacl a much easier time against Rotom-W and Palafin-H.

Got this ready for a QC check! I also slashed in Stealth Rock, because it comes in handy for some teams that also want it to be self-supportive.
