Gastrodon finds itself a valuable role in National Dex primarily off its invaluable Water and Electric immunities, allowing it to handle terrifying rain sweepers such as Floatzel and Mega Swampert and answer Rotom-W perfectly. Scald lets Gastrodon threaten a burn against otherwise safe switch-ins such as Ferrothorn and Dragonite. Toxic better threatens defensive Pokemon such as opposing Gastrodon, Skeledirge, and Tornadus-T. Earthquake threatens Pokemon like Heatran, Clodsire, and Gholdengo. Relaxed should be selected as Gastrodon's nature if using Earthquake to not lower its damage output; Bold should be used otherwise. Tera Fairy can be used in a pinch to grant Gastrodon a resistance to Fighting against Urshifu-R and Barraskweda and a Dark resistance against Kingambit. The given EV spread maximizes Gastrodon's physical bulk to better take on the likes of Floatzel, Mega Swampert, and Urshifu-R. Gastrodon fits best on balance and bulky offense teams, which appreciate its defensive qualities while being able to supplement its passivity with offensive wallbreakers. Pokemon such as Tornadus-T and Gholdengo can switch into Grass-type coverage from Pokemon like Kartana and Ferrothorn; In return, Gastrodon provides entry hazard support to wear down answers such as Mega Tyranitar, Kingambit, and Clodsire. Strong, fast wallbreakers like Mega Diancie, Iron Valiant, and Zamazenta love having Gastrodon as a fallback measure against the myriad of Water-type revenge killers on rain such as Floatzel and Mega Swampert. If Gastrodon opts to use Spikes, it likes having Stealth Rock setters such as Heatran and Mega Diancie as partners to form an effective entry hazard-stacking core.

Gastrodon finds itself a valuable role in National Dex primarily off its invaluable Water and Electric capitalized type names immunities, allowing it to handle terrifying rain sweepers such as Floatzel and Mega Swampert as well as answer Rotom-W perfectly. the usage of "as" in this sentence makes it undigest; just reword it It can use these turns where it feels unthreatened to set up hazards of its choice, based on what its team requires. just fluff here tbh Scald is an excellent move, allowing it to lets Gastrodon threaten a burn to otherwise safe switch-ins such as Ferrothorn and Dragonite. be sure to mention Toxic here Earthquake makes Gastrodon more immediately threatening against Pokemon like Heatran, Clodsire, and Gholdengo. Clear Smog is an alternative option to remove boosts from the likes of Skeledirge and Dragonite. clear smog sacrificies so much utilty idt it is worth a mention; just talk about Earth Power over it here Relaxed should be used selected as Gastrodon's nature if using Earthquake so as to not lower its damage output; Bold should be used otherwise. Tera Steel can be used in a pinch to resist Hurricane from Tornadus-T and Extreme Speed from Dragonite. mention tera fairy over this The given EV spread maximizes Gastrodon's physical bulk to better take on the likes of Floatzel, Mega Swampert, and Mega Tyranitar its a ok mention but id prob say something else like urshifu-r dnite etc. Gastrodon fits best on Balance and Bulky Offense teams that appreciate its defensive qualities whilst being able to supplement its passivity with offensive cores mention the said offensive cores. Pokemon such as Tornadus-T and Bulky Gholdengo can augment this sounds weird i would reword that Gastrodon's Grass-type decapitalized Type weakness while in return, it provides hazard support to wear down answers such as Mega Tyranitar and Clodsire. you could maybe include other examples too like gambit and opposing gholdengo Strong, fast offensive presences like Mega Diancie, Iron Valiant, and Zamazenta love having Gastrodon as a fallback measure against the myriad of Water-type decapitalized Type revenge killers on rain mention said water types. In return, Gastrodon appreciates them being able to make fast progress on opposing teams before it runs out of Recover PP.
 
implemented, asked on cord abt epower mention kept out for now, also replaced the offensive cores mention w/ wallbreakers, didnt see a need to mention the mons specifically when i do it later
