[SET COMMENTS]
With Guts, Obstagoon is an excellent wallbreaker on Normal teams because it is able to reliably take on prominent walls like Toxapex, Mandibuzz, and Galarian Corsola. An above-average Speed tier means Obstagoon is also a useful attacker against offensive teams, being able to outspeed and OHKO threats such as Crawdaunt, Gallade, and Diggersby. Taunt enables Obstagoon to stallbreak defensive Pokemon by disabling their forms of recovery and prevents opposing entry hazards from going up, which Normal usually has trouble removing. Facade and Knock Off hit any non-resistant Pokemon hard after the Guts boost. Close Combat rounds off this set, allowing Obstagoon to have a better presence against Steel and Dark by nailing Ferrothorn, Tyranitar, and Bisharp. Flame Orb is used to activate Guts, also letting Obstagoon act as a status absorber.
All of Obstagoon's teammates naturally benefit from its presence, as it can absorb much-hated status with Guts. Wallbreakers like Choice Band Diggersby, Choice Specs Indeedee, and Heliolisk are able to weaken or beat defensive Pokemon like Hippowdon and Corviknight for Obstagoon, therefore taking pressure off it versus bulkier teams. Particularly, Diggersby can also set up Spikes to further increase Obstagoon's effectiveness, while Heliolisk can check most Water-types, notably Keldeo, with its coverage for the team. Choice Scarf users like Ditto and Braviary are excellent partners because they can revenge kill threats like Dragon Dance Kyurem-B and Keldeo, respectively. In return, Obstagoon deals with the likes of Toxapex and Aegislash for them. Lastly, Snorlax appreciates Obstagoon's capability to take on the aforementioned walls to sweep late-game with its Curse set.
