Grimmsnarl is a niche pick on hyper offense teams due to its access to Prankster and utility options, such as dual screens, Taunt, and Thunder Wave. Thanks to Prankster, it can use a priority Taunt to prevent Defog and opposing Taunt, thereby keeping up Reflect, Light Screen, and any potential entry hazards. Prankster also prevents setup from sweepers, such as Geomancy from Xerneas, and Dragon Dance from Mega Rayquaza. Thunder Wave allows Grimmsnarl to cripple fast foes such as Zacian-C, which can then be exploited by Grimmsnarl’s teammates. A Bold nature along with maximum EV investment in both HP and Defense allow Grimmsnarl to tank hits better, thereby maximizing the chance that it can set both Reflect and Light Screen.
Grimmsnarl is only usable on hyper offensive archetypes. Suicide leads, such as Deoxys-S and Excadrill, appreciate Grimmsnarl’s priority Taunt to prevent Defoggers, such as Ho-Oh, from removing the entry hazards they set up. General Pokemon that fit on hyper offense like Zacian-C, Mega Rayquaza, Weakness Policy Necrozma-DM, Primal Groudon, Ultra Necrozma, Yveltal, and Xerneas, appreciate both dual screens and Thunder Wave in order to ease setup. Dual screens is also valuable, as it improves offense's matchup against Ditto. Since Taunt still won’t stop spinners such as Excadrill and Smeargle from removing entry hazards set by Grimmsnarl’s teammates, pair Grimmsnarl with Ghost-types such as Arceus-Ghost in order to spinblock.
