[SET COMMENTS]

• Houndstone carves a niche in the metagame as a bulky spinblocker that can comfortably switch into Great Tusk and Iron Treads.
• Will-O-Wisp prevents physical attackers from setting up on Houndstone and spreads status on passive Pokemon like Corviknight, Toxapex, and Ting-Lu.
• Rest gets rid of status and helps Houndstone remain healthy throughout the game.
• Houndstone's EVs and ability make it surprisingly bulky, allowing it to survive even a Tera Dark Crunch from Choice Band Chien-Pao and OHKO back with Body Press.
• Tera Water grants Houndstone a resistance to Fire-type moves, which are otherwise super effective because of its ability. Additionally, it gives Houndstone a neutral typing against threats like Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Annihilape.
• Houndstone's primary role is to act as a spinblocker with some defensive utility, so it is essential to pair it with Pokemon that set entry hazards such as Ting-Lu, Clodsire, Great Tusk, and Iron Treads, as well as strong wallbreakers like Chien-Pao, Koraidon, Annihilape, Miraidon, and Iron Bundle that make the most out of the chip damage.

• Houndstone carves a niche in the metagame as a bulky spinblocker that can comfortably switch into Great Tusk and Iron Treads.
• Will-O-Wisp is used to prevent physical attackers from setting up boosts on it, and for spreading status on passive pokemon like Corviknight, Toxapex, and Ting-Lu. It is a mandatory move on this set because its attacks are too weak against most threats that would otherwise switch into it for free and threaten it. (eh, kinda fluff put not intended)

[corvere]

theres not much to add, this is solid, and this mon doesnt offer much else. i guess you could maybe have an argument about dropping rest for something like protect or shadow sneak but i dont think its good enough.
2/2
