Mudsdale is a bulky Stealth Rock setter capable of switching into a wide variety of physically offensive threats such as Toxicroak, Rhydon, Passimian, and Silvally formes such as Steel and Dark. Rock Slide lets Mudsdale threaten Flying-types and Levitate users like Charizard, Vikavolt, and Xatu. Toxic allows it to cripple switch-ins like Jellicent, Virizion, and opposing Mudsdale. Protect scouts Choice item users and gives Mudsdale additional Leftovers recovery; Protect can also help rack up Toxic damage if Toxic is chosen over Rock Slide. Roar lets Mudsdale shuffle out its switch-ins, accumulate more entry hazard damage, and prevent setup from the likes of Curse Snorlax, Bulk Up Scrafty, and Bulk Up Braviary. 64 Special Defense EVs allow Mudsdale to avoid a 2HKO from Salazzle's Fire Blast and Choice Scarf Indeedee's Psychic as well as avoid an OHKO from +2 Salazzle's Fire Blast; this lets Mudsdale serve as a check to these Pokemon in a pinch.

Mudsdale slots best into bulky team compositions that appreciate it checking or countering a plethora of physical attackers. Bulky Steel-types like Copperajah and Silvally-Steel enjoy Mudsdale switching into Ground- and Fighting- types, and in turn provide Mudsdale with respite from Grass- and Ice- type attacks as well as strong special attackers. Xatu can switch into Grass-types, special attackers, and status moves that threaten Mudsdale. Xatu also provides a way to keep entry hazards off of your side of the field without removing them for the opponent like Defog users would. Fire-types like Salazzle and Charizard appreciate Mudsdale switching into Pokemon like Rhydon and Snorlax, and in return take advantage of Vileplume, which often tries to switch into Mudsdale. Grass-type teammates like Vileplume and Whimsicott help alleviate pressure from Water- and Grass-types like Jellicent, Rillaboom, and Virizion. Vileplume also provides a switch-in to Toxic and doesn't mind burns thanks to its reliable recovery.

Mudsdale finds its niche in the RU tier as a bulky Stealth Rock setter capable of switching into a wide variety of physical attacking threats such as Toxicroak, Rhydon, Passimian,(AC) and physically (you already specified they're all physical) offensive Silvally formes such as Steel and Dark. Rock Slide lets Mudsdale threaten Flying-types and Levitate users like Charizard, Xatu,(AC) and Vikavolt, and Xatu. Toxic allows it to cripple switch-ins like Jellicent, Virizion, and opposing Mudsdale. Protect scouts Choice item users,(AC) and gives Mudsdale additional Leftovers recovery, (semicolon -> comma) Protect can also and helps rack up Toxic damage if Toxic is chosen over Rock Slide. Roar lets Mudsdale shuffle out its switch-ins and to accumulate more hazard damage, as well as preventing setup from the likes of Curse Snorlax and Bulk Up Scrafty. 64 Special Defense EVs allow Mudsdale to avoid the 2HKO from Salazzle's Fire Blast and Choice Scarf Indeedee's Psychic, as well as avoid being the OHKO'd by +2 from Salazzle's Fire Blast at +2; this lets Mudsdale serve as a check to these Pokemon in a pinch.

Mudsdale slots fits best into on bulky teams compositions that appreciate it checking or countering a plethora of physical attackers. Bulky Steel-types like Copperajah and Escavalier enjoy Mudsdale switching into Ground- and Fighting- types, and in turn provide Mudsdale with respite from Grass- and Ice- type attacks as well as strong special attackers. Xatu is a good Mudsdale partner, as it can switch into Grass-types and special attackers that threaten Mudsdale in addition to thwarting spreading status moves like Toxic and Will-O-Wisp aimed at Mudsdale. Xatu also provides a way to keep hazards off of your side of the field without removing them for the opponent like Defog users would with Magic Bounce. (I find this bit rather unnecessary, you make it seem like Magic Bounce is even more reliable or useful than Defog, which is not really the case) Fire-types like Salazzle and Charizard appreciate Mudsdale switching into Pokemon like Rhydon and Snorlax, and in return take advantage of Vileplume,(AC) which often tries to switch into Mudsdale. Grass-type teammates like Vileplume and Whimsicott help alleviate pressure from opposing Water- and Grass-types adversaries like Jellicent, Rillaboom, and Virizion. Vileplume also provides a switch-in to Toxic and doesn't mind Burn burns thanks to its reliable recovery, which Mudsdale greatly appreciates,(AC) as it is very susceptible to status effects.
