Muk-Alola @ Black Sludge
Ability: Poison Touch
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Drain Punch
- Rest
- Protect

Despite being designed after a pile of sewage, Alolan Muk is anything but that in Monotype. Knock Off provides a good STAB move that is capable of annoying types that rely heavily on Heavy-Duty Boots such as Flying and Fire. Knock Off also hits Psychic-types like Espathra, Armarouge, and Indeedee, as well as Gholdengo, which is really potent into Poison. Drain Punch is good against Dark and Dragon teams, hitting Hydreigon, Hisuian Goodra, and Baxcalibur. Protect allows Alolan Muk to scout for Choice-locked foes' moves, as well as to get Black Sludge recovery. Rest can greatly extend its longevity and lets it better check Skeledirge, as it removes the burn from Will-O-Wisp. However, this comes at the cost of the user's dignity and being extremely passive. Great teammates include Air Balloon Glimmora, a temporary Ground immunity that can set Stealth Rock, which Knock Off capitalizes on by removing Heavy-Duty Boots, and Amoonguss, which provides neutrality to Ground and Fairy while also punishing setup sweepers such as Garchomp.

Despite being designed after a pile of sewage, Alolan Muk is anything but that in Monotype. Knock Off provides a good STAB move that is capable of annoying types that rely heavily on Heavy-Duty Boots, such as Flying and Fire (Knock Off also hits annoying Psychic-types like Espathra, Armarouge, and Indeedee as well as Gholdengo which is really potent into Poison). Poison Jab can hit many targets that Knock Off can't, notably Fairy-types such as Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant (This set is using Drain Punch). Protect allows Alolan Muk to scout for choice-loked opponents' moves, as well as to get Black Sludge Recovery. Rest can greatly extend its longevity and lets it better check Skeleridge at the cost of the users dignity and being extremely passive (Specify that it's good versus Skeledirge and perhaps another mention like Spectrier because of status ailments). Great teammates include Air Balloon Glimmora, who can set Stealth Rock which Knock Off capitalizes on by removing Heavy-Duty Boots while also providing a temporary Ground immunity, and Amoonguss, who provides neutrality to Ground and Fairy while also punishing setup sweepers such as Garchomp for setting up. (This is quite short for teammates, Toxapex and Sneasler definitely deserve mentions)

I'm not saying the bulky Poison/Dark type is good against the mon that only has Ghost and Fairy moves

In the interest of character count I'm gonna exclude this. Two teammates is generally fine for a spotlight imo

Rest is implemented

Despite being designed after a pile of sewage, Alolan Muk is anything but that in Monotype. Knock Off provides a good STAB move that is capable of annoying types that rely heavily on Heavy-Duty Boots (rc) such as Flying and Fire. Knock Off also hits Psychic-types like Espathra, Armarouge, and Indeedee, as well as Gholdengo, (ac) which is really potent Hydreigon, Hisuian Goodra, and Baxcalibur. copied your original b/c i think you deleted too much when editing in Hydreigon on accident which is really potent into Poison. Drain Punch is good into against Dark and Dragon teams, hitting Roaring Moon Hydreigon, Hisuian Goodra, and Baxcalibur. Protect allows Alolan Muk to scout for choice-loked opponents' Choice-locked foes' moves, as well as to get Black Sludge Recovery recovery. Rest can greatly extend its longevity and lets it better check Skeleridge Skeledirge, as it removes the Burn burn from Will-O-Wisp. However, this comes at the cost of the user's (ac) kinda meh on this joke but if qc's fine with it go ahead dignity and being extremely passive. Great teammates include Air Balloon Glimmora, who a temporary Ground immunity that can set Stealth Rock, (ac) which Knock Off capitalizes on by removing Heavy-Duty Boots while also providing a temporary Ground immunity, and Amoonguss, who which provides neutrality to Ground and Fairy while also punishing setup sweepers such as Garchomp for setting up redundant; you can say with Foul Play if you want.
