[SET COMMENTS]
Immunity ability Sandy Shocks is a decent physical tank when it gets going due to its access to Iron Defense + Body Press and utility like Spikes. Iron Defense allows it to defend itself from common physical attackers like Great Tusk and Ogerpon-H, and Body Press threatens Electric-immune Pokemon like Volt Absorb Empoleon and Corviknight, as well as Motor Drive Manaphy. However, Spikes + Earth Power is an alternative to Iron Defense + Body Press, as it provides entry hazard utility and a secondary STAB move option. Substitute takes advantage of the free turns it can generate with its immunity ability and can block status from slower walls. Since Sandy Shocks doesn't have any form of reliable recovery, Leftovers is the preferred item. The ability choice comes down to team need; Earth Eater punishes Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Garchomp, while Water Absorb is an excellent check to Barraskewda and Zapdos that also can block pivoting from Empoleon. Sandy Shocks works well on hyper and bulky offense, as it can set up easier and can counter passive walls. Therefore, Pokemon that appreciate this ability like Chien-Pao and Dragonite make for good teammates. Despite its ability to increase its physical bulk, it is very vulnerable on the special side, making Pokemon like Gengar and Iron Moth threatening foes. Because of this, Pokemon like RegenVest Roaring Moon and Manaphy make for good teammates.

Earth Eater Immunity ability Sandy Shocks is a decent physical tank when it gets going, due to it's access to Iron Defense + Body Press, and the ability to block Volt Switch. Iron Defense allows it to defend itself from common physical attackers like Great Tusk and Ogerpon-H, and Body Press threatens Electric-immune Pokemon like Volt Absorb Empoleon and Corviknight, as well as Motor Drive Manaphy. Substitute along with it's good speed tier helps it set-up on passive Pokemon like Corviknight and Garganacl. Discharge is used over Thunderbolt due to its higher chance to paralyze the opponent, which helps it set-up easier. Substitute takes advantage of the free turns it can generate with its immunity ability and block status from slower walls. Since Sandy Shocks doesn't have any form of reliable recovery, Leftovers it the preferred item. The Ability choice is depending on what Pokemon you want to wall. Earth Eater walls Pokemon like opoosing Sandy Shocks and non-Ice Spinner Great Tusk, while Water Absorb can prevent Pokemon like Walking Wake and Empoleon from pivoting, as well as walling Pokemon like Barraskewda. The ability choice comes down to team need; Earth Eater punishes Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Garchomp, while Water Absorb is an excellent check to Barraskewda and Zapdos that also can block pivoting from Empoleon. Sandy Shocks works well on hyper and bulky offense, as it can set up easier, and it used as a counter to passive walls. Therefore, Pokemon that appreciate this ability like Weavile and Dragonite make for good teammates. Despite it's ability to increase its physical bulk, it is very vulnerable on the special side, making Pokemon like Gengar and Iron Moth threatening foes. Because of this, Pokemon like RegenVest Roaring Moon and Manaphy make for good teammates.

move 1: Iron Defense / Spikes pretty good spikes setter imo for its ability annoy common removers like Corv/GTusk
move 2: Body Press / Earth Power can more easily threaten stuff like Moth/GTusk and also without IDef Body Press isn't very useful so I think it's cool to pair with Spikes
move 3: Discharge
move 4: Substitute
item: Leftovers
ability: Earth Eater / Water Absorb
nature: Timid Nature
evs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe

Immunity ability Sandy Shocks is a decent physical tank when it gets going, due to its access to Iron Defense + Body Press, and the ability to block Volt Switch. Probably worth nothing specifically checking Zapdos/Hadron Shocks Iron Defense allows it to defend itself from common physical attackers like Great Tusk and Ogerpon-H, Ogerpon-H seems like a bit of an odd example given it can still hit you hard SE + Discharge Para already discourages it from switching in and Body Press threatens Electric-immune Pokemon like Volt Absorb Empoleon and Corviknight, as well as Motor Drive Manaphy. Substitute takes advantage of the free turns it can generate with its immunity ability and block status from slower walls. Since Sandy Shocks doesn't have any form of reliable recovery, Leftovers it the preferred item. The ability choice comes down to team need; Earth Eater punishes Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Garchomp, while Water Absorb is an excellent check to Barraskewda and Zapdos that also can block pivoting from Empoleon. Sandy Shocks works well on hyper and bulky offense, as it can set up easier, and it used as a counter to passive walls.

Despite it's its ability to increase its physical bulk, it is very vulnerable on the special side, making Pokemon like Gengar and Iron Moth threatening foes. Because of this, Pokemon like RegenVest Roaring Moon and Manaphy make for good teammates. Add sentence about Spikes/EP, if you do slash it
