Grimmsnarl (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Play Rough
- Darkest Lariat
- Superpower
- Sucker Punch

Grimmsnarl's menacing presence terrorizes NU! As one of the tier's most recent drops, Grimmsnarl has quickly established itself as a fierce wallbreaker, owing to its impressive Attack stat and offensive movepool. Moreover, its unique STAB combination is unresisted by the whole metagame; when boosted by Choice Band, Grimmsnarl can 2HKO defensive staples such as Sylveon, Vaporeon, and Vileplume. Darkest Lariat also lets it muscle past Defense boosting foes like Stamina Mudsdale and Curse Snorlax. Superpower OHKOes Stakataka and Copperajah, while Sucker Punch compensates for its mediocre Speed tier and allows it to pick off weakened faster threats such as Silvally-Ground, Salazzle, and Starmie. Alas, its frailty mandates pivot support; hence, it appreciates teammates like Passimian, Rotom-C, and Dragalge that can bring Grimmsnarl in safely. Additionally, they tend to invite in Pokemon like Xatu, Guzzlord, and Copperajah, respectively, which allows Grimmsnarl to wreak havoc afterwards. Furthermore, Dragalge overwhelms a shared check in Diancie, while Choice Scarf Passimian outspeeds offensive Pokemon that Grimmsnarl does not, as well as pressures a common defensive answer in Mudsdale.
