[SET COMMENTS]
Palossand is a very sturdy physical wall in ZU thanks to its great defensive typing allowing it to handle attackers such as Sawk, Lycanroc, and Kangaskhan. Scorching Sands can cripple the foe with a burn, whereas Earth Power is stronger and is better when Palossand wants to cripple a foe with Toxic instead of a burn. Toxic lets Palossand put foes on a timer and works well with its Ground-type STAB moves, which threaten most Toxic-immune Pokemon. Shadow Ball is an alternative that lets Palossand take advantage of its great STAB combination and can threaten Ground-immune foes such as Uxie and Rotom formes. Colbur Berry is the preferred item, letting Palossand more easily check Choice Band Sawk and stay in once on a Dark-type such as Silvally-Dark to cripple it with Toxic.

Palossand is a solid wall that can fit on almost any playstyle from bulky offense to stall. Fire-types such as Centiskorch and Rapidash check Ice- and Grass-types such as Cryogonal and Tangela for Palossand while appreciating Palossand's solid physical bulk and ability to wall Lycanroc. Teammates such as Pyukumuku, Poliwrath, and Wishiwashi that check Water-types also make great partners that cover Palossand's Water weakness and enjoy its Electric immunity. Toxic absorbers such as Altaria, Skuntank, and Clefairy stop this status from crippling Palossand, and each of these and Palossand complement each other's weaknesses. Dark-types like Alolan Persian make for great partners that can check Ghost-types like Silvally-Ghost and Rotom for Palossand, while Palossand takes on Fighting-types for them.

Other Options
=============

Palossand can run Leftovers over Colbur Berry, (AC) but the proeminence of Dark-types in ZU as well as Knock Off Sawk makes it less appealing.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Water-types**: Water-types such as Basculin, Cramorant, and Wishiwashi threaten Palossand with their super effective STAB moves that can easily 2HKO it through Water Compaction.

**Ice-types**: Thanks to their super effective STAB moves, Ice-types such as Cryogonal, Vanilluxe, and Frosmoth can pick off Palossand.

**Grass-type attacks**: Grass-type moves from attackers such as Centiskorch, Cinccino, and Shiftry are common and threaten Palossand with a 2HKO.

**Toxic**: Toxic from users such as Altaria, Miltank, and Audino puts Palossand on a timer and jeopardizes its ability to wall powerful attackers such as Kangaskhan and Rapidash.

**Special Attackers**: While Palossand's special bulk isn't terrible, most special attackers, such as Thievul, Rotom, and Clawitzer, can still take it out.

Scorching Sands can cripple the foe with a burn, whereas Earth Power is stronger and is better when Palossand wants to cripple a foe with Toxic instead of a burn, against switch-ins like Wishiwashi and Tangela. Toxic lets Palossand put on a timer opposing foes and works well with its Ground-type STAB moves which threaten most Toxic-immunities. Shadow Ball is an alternative that lets Palossand take advantage of its great STAB combination and can threaten Ground-immune foes such as Uxie and Rotom forms. Colbur Berry is the favorite item, letting Palossand more easily check Choice Band Sawk while also being able to stay once on a Dark-type such as Silvally-Dark or Liepard and cripple it with Toxic.

Palossand is a solid wall that can fit in almost any team from bulky offense to stall. Fire-types such as Centiskorch and Magmortar resist Ice and Grass for Palossand, taking advantage of Pokemon of these types such as Cryogonal and Tangela while appreciating Palossand's solid physical bulk and ability to wall Lycanroc. Water-types checks such as Pyukumuku, Poliwrath, and Wishiwashi make also great partners that cover Palossand's Water weakness while they enjoy Palossand's Electric-immunity. Toxic-absorbers such as Altaria, Skuntank, and Clefairy this status for Palossand while also complementing well each other weaknesses. (Would mention that all these defensive partners tend to also check special attackers for Palo)

**Special Attackers**: While Due to Palossand's average special bulk isn't ridiculous, most special attackers such as Magmortar, Rotom, and Drampa can take it out thanks to their powerful special moves.

Palossand is a solid wall that can fit in almost any team from bulky offense to stall. Fire-types such as Centiskorch and Rapidash resist check Ice- and Grass-types for Palossand, taking advantage of Pokemon of these types (fluff) such as Cryogonal and Tangela for Palossand while appreciating Palossand's solid physical bulk and ability to wall Lycanroc and Rapidash respectively.

alolan persian is worth mentioning as a partner since it checks silv-ghost and silv-dark very well for palossand.
