Palpitoad is a solid Stealth Rock setter in ZU due to its bulk with Eviolite but most importantly its typing, which allows it to check other prominent Pokemon such as Stonjourner, Klang, Hippopotas, and Pikachu. Toxic gives it the ability to cripple defensive Pokemon that would often shrug off Palpitoad's other attacks, such as Vespiquen, Shiinotic, and Vullaby. Water Absorb allows Palpitoad to switch into Water-type moves from Whiscash and Wartortle.

Despite its good defensive utility, Palpitoad can fall short due to its lack of reliable recovery and vulnerability to Toxic, so it can easily struggle to set up Stealth Rock consistently against hazard removers such as Vullaby and Galarian Mr. Mime. Because of this, offensive answers to these Pokemon such as Stonjourner and Pikachu make for great teammates. Hattrem stands as a terrible matchup for Palpitoad, as it can prevent Stealth Rock from going up and can deal with Palpitoad with Giga Drain, so answers to it such as Klang and Gourgeist-L are necessary partners. Grass resistant Pokemon are great teammates for Palpitoad, as Ivysaur, Bellossom, Grookey, and Gourgeist-L can be huge problems for it otherwise. Klang, Zweilous, and Vullaby are great examples of Pokemon that can switch in and check these Pokemon as well as special attackers Palpitoad cannot handle such as Beheeyem and Emolga.

Palpitoad is a solid Stealth Rock setter in ZU due to its bulk with Eviolite but most importantly its Water / Ground fluff typing which allows it to threaten other hazard setters such as Stonjourner and Hippopotas Palpitoad's role within the current metagame is to be a Rocker able to check a lot of common threats. Scald is preferred Water-type STAB on it due to its ability to cripple Pokemon such as Fraxure and Silvally-Ice with a burn. Earth Power allows Palpitoad to hit Klang, Raichu and Pikachu everything hits Pikachu increadibly hard incredibly hard, thus preventing them from switching in. Toxic gives it the ability to cripple defensive Pokemon that would often shrug off Palpitoad's other attacks, such as Vespiquen and Vullaby. You need to add a sentence on Water Absorb.

Despite its good defensive utility, Palpitoad can fall short due to its lacklustre damage output and lack of reliable recovery, so it can easily be taken advantage of by dangerous .... Not an english expert but I think you forgot a part in this sentence struggle to set up Stealth Rock consistently against Defoggers hazard removers such as the aforementioned Vespiquen and Vullaby You can find other examples to replace one of Vesp and Vulla. Because of this, answers to these Pokemon such as Stonjourner and Pikachu make for great teammates. Hattrem stands as a terrible matchup for Palpitoad as it can prevent Palpitoad from setting up Stealth Rock entirely as it can shrug off all of its attacks and can deal with it with Giga Drain, so answers to it such as Klang, Gourgeist-L, and Trevenant I'd like to avoid using Trevenant as an example outside of Grassy Terrain teams are necessary partners for Palpitoad. Grass-type resists are great teammates for Palpitoad as Ivysaur, Trevenant, Shiinotic, Grookey, and Gourgeist-L pick 3 of them, 5 examples is to many can be huge problems for it otherwise. Klang, Zweilous, and Vullaby are great examples of what?.

Toxic gives it the ability to cripple defensive Pokemon that would often shrug off Palpitoad's other attacks, such as Vespiquen and Vullaby. Water Absorb allows Palpitoad to switch into Water-type moves from Whiscash and Wartortle and potentially crippling them with Toxic You already said what Toxic does earlier.

Despite its good defensive utility, Palpitoad can fall short due to its lacklustre damage output and lack of reliable recovery, so it can easily struggle to set up Stealth Rock consistently against Defoggers hazard remover such as Vullaby and Dartrix Galarian Mr. Mime (G Mime is more relevant than Dartrix and directly threaten Palp with Freeze Dry). Because of this, answers to these Pokemon such as Stonjourner and Pikachu make for great teammates. Hattrem stands as a terrible matchup for Palpitoad as it can prevent Palpitoad from setting up Stealth Rock entirely as it can shrug off all of its attacks and can deal with it with Giga Drain, so answers to it such as Klang and Gourgeist-L and are necessary partners for Palpitoad. Grass-type resists are great teammates for Palpitoad as Ivysaur, Shiinotic, and Gourgeist-L Shiinotic doesn't always carry a Grass move and isn't walled by Zweilous and Vullaby that you name latter as grass checks, you can find a better example can be huge problems for it otherwise. Klang, Zweilous, and Vullaby are great examples of Pokemon that can switch in and check these Pokemon as well as on Special attackers that Palpitoad can't handle such as ....

Palpitoad is a solid Stealth Rock setter in ZU due to its bulk with Eviolite but most importantly its typing which allows it to check other prominent Pokemon such as Stonjourner, Klang, Hippopotas, and Pikachu. Scald is preferred Water-type STAB on it due to its ability to cripple Pokemon such as Fraxure and Silvally-Ice with a burn. Earth Power allows Palpitoad to hit Klang and Raichu incredibly hard, thus preventing them from switching in. (A Pokemon's STAB attacks are usually fluff unless they have a unique attribute or purpose that is worth talking about; Scald and Earth Power do not. Delete these sentences, but if you wish, you may add another introductory statement that shows how Politoad excels as a Stealth Rock setter due to having positive match ups against opposing entry hazard setters like Carkol, Lunatone, and Hippo) Toxic gives it the ability to cripple defensive Pokemon that would often shrug off Palpitoad's other attacks, such as Vespiquen, Shiinotic, and Vullaby (Added a Grass-type example as its STAB attacks are resisted by them). Water Absorb allows Palpitoad to switch into Water-type moves from Whiscash and Wartortle. (I'll keep this here as rain is somewhat viable so justifying water absorb over swift swim / hydration is okay)

Despite its good defensive utility, Palpitoad can fall short due to its lacklustre damage output and lack of reliable recovery and Toxic vulnerability, so it can easily struggle to set up Stealth Rock consistently against hazard removers such as Vullaby and Galarian Mr. Mime (damage output isn't why it may lose to Defogers like Vibrava/Vullaby/Vespiquen, and instead it's the fact that they can Toxic it and outstall Palpitoad's Toxic as they recover with Roost) . Because of this, offensive answers to these Pokemon such as Stonjourner and Pikachu make for great teammates. Hattrem stands as a terrible matchup for Palpitoad as it can prevent Palpitoad from setting up Stealth Rock entirely as it can shrug off all of its attacks and can deal with it with Giga Drain, so answers to it such as Klang and Gourgeist-L and are necessary partners for Palpitoad (I cut out the fluff here). Grass-type resists are great teammates for Palpitoad as Ivysaur, Bellosom, Grookey, and Gourgeist-L can be huge problems for it otherwise. Klang, Zweilous, and Vullaby are great examples of Pokemon that can switch in and check these Pokemon as well as Special attackers Palpitoad cannot handle such as Beheeyem and Bellossom Emolga. (bell is another Grass-type you can lump with the above examples, while Emolga is another special attacker that carries Eball to deal with Palp, but is checked by the teammates you mentioned)
