[SET COMMENTS]
Shellder is a powerful sweeper with access to Shell Smash, especially when supported by its ability Skill Link. Shellder’s base 100 Defense gives it plenty of opportunities to set up versus the tier's physical attackers such as Pawniard, Mudbray, and Alolan Grimer. Rock Blast is a fantastic compliment to Liquidation, allowing Shellder to break through Water resistances such as Foongus, and Hisuian Voltorb.Protect is useful for scouting foes' Tera types while blocking priority moves such as Sucker Punch and First Impression. Tera Water boosts its STAB damage even further, demolishing neutral targets that would otherwise take a hit such as Crabrawler and Pawniard. Tera Rock guarantees KOs on Water resistances such as Foongus and Hisuian Voltorb. Tera Dark doesn’t have the benefits of added power but instead blocks Prankster Encore from Shroodle and improves Shellder’s defensive profile by resisting Sucker Punch.

Glimmet can greatly facilitate a sweep with its ability to set entry hazards. Alolan Grimer helps deal with Grass-types that deter Shellder's sweep and weakens the opposing team by using Knock Off. Grookey's Grassy Terrain provides Shellder with some passive recovery, and Grookey can pivot in Shellder via U-turn in addition to also having access to Knock Off. Choice Scarf Gothita can trap Pokemon via Shadow Tag to help facilitate a sweep, removing key pieces of the opposing team or using Trick to trap them using a non-helpful move. Memento support works wonderfully from teammates such as Drifloon, which can also use Will-O-Wisp to provide more Shell Smash opportunities, or Alolan Diglett, which can also set up Stealth Rock.

Shellder is a powerful sweeper with access to Shell Smash, especially when supported by its ability Skill Link. Shellder’s base 100 Defense gives it plenty of opportunities to set up versus the tiers physical attackers such as Crabrawler, Pawniard and Grimer-Alola. idd switch crab and pawn as examples here for bray and diglett, since theyre more helpless Rock Blast is a fantastic compliment to Liquidation, allowing Shellder to break over Water resists such as Foongus, Hisuian Voltorb, and Mareanie. The final move slot can be used for either of Protect or Ice Shard. Protect is useful for scouting opponents Teras while blocking priority moves such as Sucker Punch and First Impression, while having Ice Shard gives Shellder it’s own priority to hit faster targets and a way to ohko toedscool without tera. Tera Water boosts your STAB even further to demolish neutral targets that would otherwise take a hit, such as Crabrawler and Pawniard. Tera Rock guarantees KOs on Water resists such as Foongus and Hisuian Voltorb while changing your defensive typing to give you new set up opportunities. Tera Dark doesn’t have the benefits of added power, but instead improves Shellder’s defensive profile by resisting Sucker Punch and blocking Prankster moves. Glimmet can greatly facilitate a sweep with its ability to set entry hazards and ability in toxic debris. Grimer-Alola helps deal with grass types that deter Shellder's sweep and weakens the enemy team by using Knock Off. Grookey's grassy terrain provides Shellder with some passive recovery and can pivot in Shellder via U-turn in addition to knock off. Choice Scarf Gothita can trap Pokémon via Shadow Tag to help facilitate a sweep by removing key pieces of the enemy team. or tricking into a status/weak move. id add dig and floon here too bc of memento

Shellder is a powerful sweeper with access to Shell Smash, especially when supported by its ability Skill Link. Shellder’s base 100 Defense gives it plenty of opportunities to set up versus the tiers physical attackers such as Alolan Diglett, Mudbray, and Alolan Gtimer (fix typo). Rock Blast is a fantastic compliment to Liquidation, allowing Shellder to break over Water resists such as Foongus, Hisuian Voltorb, and Mareanie. The final move slot can be used for either of Protect or Ice Shard. Protect is useful for scouting opponents Teras while blocking priority moves such as Sucker Punch and First Impression, while having Ice Shard gives Shellder it’s own priority to hit faster targets and a way to OHKO Toedscool without Tera. Tera Water boosts your STAB even further to demolish neutral targets that would otherwise take a hit, such as Crabrawler and Pawniard.

Tera Dark doesn’t have the benefits of added power, but instead improves Shellder’s defensive profile by resisting Sucker Punch and blocking Prankster moves (i would swap the order of these, you primarily use tera dark for encore shroodle) . Glimmet can greatly facilitate a sweep with its ability to set entry hazards and ability in toxic debris(i would delete the glimmet ability mention, the best shellder answers dont care about toxic spikes). Grimer-Alola helps deal with grass types that deter Shellder's sweep and weakens the enemy team by using Knock Off. Grookey's grassy terrain provides Shellder with some passive recovery and can pivot in Shellder via U-turn in addition to knock off. Choice Scarf Gothita can trap Pokémon via Shadow Tag to help facilitate a sweep by removing key pieces of the enemy team or tricking them into a non effectual move. Memento support works wonderfully from teammates such as Drifloon, who can use Will-O-Wisp to provide for more Shell Smash opportunities, or Alolan Diglett who can also set up Stealth Rock.

Protect is useful for scouting opponents foes' added apostrophe Teras Tera types while blocking priority moves such as Sucker Punch and First Impression, while whereas subjective change; you don't have to make this edit, but i suggest it because you use while in the previous clause to mean in addition to where here it's used as whereas, so it flows nicer with the contrast imo having Ice Shard gives Shellder it’s its own priority to hit faster targets and a way to OHKO Toedscool without Terastallizing.

It’s been a while since I’ve done GP it’s my bad for forgetting if there’s 1 or 2 GP checks. Not your fault and thank you for the help.
