Shroodle @ Grassy Seed
Ability: Unburden
Level: 5
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 236 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Gunk Shot
- Knock Off
- Tera Blast


With the addition of Grassy Terrain from Grookey, Shroodle has found a new niche as a setup sweeper utilizing Grassy Seed with Unburden. Its Speed tier of 18 and Unburden lets it become the fastest Pokémon in the meta, while the Defense boost from 10 to 15 lets it survive more hits as it sets up on things such as opposing Grookey. Gunk Shot and Knock Off form an amazing and annoying combo of attacking moves; STAB Gunk Shot hits hard and can OHKO every neutral target at +2 while Knock Off is more reliable accuracy-wise and cripples things relying on Eviolite or Oran Berry to outlast Shroodle and revenge kill it, such as Toedscool and Drifloon, respectively. Tera Ground flips its weaknesses and allows it to KO foes that check it, especially Alolan Grimer and Pawniard, which otherwise sit on Shroodle. Grookey enables Shroodle with Grassy Terrain, while also having other tools to wear down checks and counters such as Pawniard and Crabrawler. Memento support from Alolan Diglett, Hisuian Zorua, and Drifloon also provides Shroodle an easier time to setup by letting it come in for free.

With the addition of Grassy Terrain from Grookey, Shroodle has found a new niche as a setup sweeper utilizing Grassy Seed with Unburden. With 18 speed, Shroodle is already one of the faster Pokémon in the metagame — the defense boost from Grassy Seed now gives it room to setup on things that would otherwise kill it. This sentence needs to be rewritten; mention that 18 Speed with Unburden makes it the fastest Pokémon in the meta while the Defense boost from Grassy Seed provides additional setup opportunities (provide examples as to what!) Gunk Shot and Knock Off form an amazing and annoying combo of attacking moves: STAB Gunk Shot hits hard and can poison would-be checks such as Mudbray, Not a great example here; I'd just mention that it OHKOs every neutral target at +2 while Knock Off is more reliable accuracy-wise and cripples things relying on their Eviolite bulk or Oran Berry to outlast Shroodle and revenge kill it. Examples? Tera Ground flips its defensive weakness and allows it to KO Poison-types that might check it, especially Grimer-Alola whose typing otherwise sits on Shroodle. (Mention Pawn here) As mentioned before, Grookey's fast Scarf pivoting with auto-set Terrain enables Shroodle's shenanigans, while also having other tools to wear down checks and counters Examples? such as a strong Wood Hammer or Knock Off. Add a sentence on Memento support with examples of teammates
QC 1/1 when implemented, ping me with any questions

With the addition of Grassy Terrain from Grookey, Shroodle has found a new niche as a setup sweeper utilizing Grassy Seed with Unburden. The 18 speed tier and Unburden combination lets it become the fastest Pokémon in the meta, while the Defense boost from 10 to 15 lets it live more hits as it sets up on things such as opposing Grookey.

Gunk Shot and Knock Off form an amazing and annoying combo of attacking moves: STAB Gunk Shot hits hard and can OHKO every neutral target at +2 while Knock Off is more reliable accuracy-wise and cripples things relying on their Eviolite bulk or Oran Berry to outlast Shroodle and revenge kill it, such as Toedscool and Drifloon respectively.

Tera Ground flips its defensive weakness and allows it to KO Poison-types that might check it, especially Grimer-Alola and Pawniard whose typings otherwise sit on Shroodle. As mentioned before, Grookey's auto-set Terrain enable Shroodle's shenanigans, while also having other tools to wear down checks and counters such as Pawniard (Drain Punch), Crabrawler (Knock Off, Wood Hammer under terrain), and more. Memento support from Diglett-Alola, Zorua-Hisui and Drifloon also provide Shroodle an easier time to setup by letting it come in for free.

Tera Ground flips its weaknesses defensive weakness and allows it to KO Poison-types you mention a steel type later on and put more emphasis on it with "especially"; you can probably change "Poison-types" to just "foes" imo that might check it, especially Alolan Grimer Grimer-Alola and Pawniard, (add comma) which whose typings otherwise sit on Shroodle. Grookey enables Shroodle with Grassy Terrain As mentioned before, Grookey's auto-set Terrain enable Shroodle's shenanigans, while also having other tools to wear down checks and counters such as Pawniard and Crabrawler. "such as" really already implies "and more". also, since you already said grookey has tools to beat shroodle checks, listing said tools feels a bit redundant imo.
