PU Sandaconda

Sandaconda @ Leftovers
Ability: Shed Skin
EVs: 252 HP / 168 SpD / 88 Spe
Careful Nature
- Coil
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Rest

Sandaconda can destroy whole teams with its fantastic Coil + Rest + Shed Skin combination. Its decent Speed tier coupled with its solid defensive stats and typing allow it to set up on passive defensive Pokemon such as Audino, Gigalith, and defensive Charizard. Shed Skin allows it to run Stone Edge over Sleep Talk, which is really useful against Ground-immune Pokemon like Charizard and Galarian Articuno. Dropping Sleep Talk means it fits setup, coverage, healing, and status recovery all in one set. Sandaconda fits very well with Pokemon such as Charizard, which can take care of Grass-types such as Eldegoss, while Sandaconda can take care of Aggron and Gigalith, which are rather annoying for Charizard. Jellicent checks Wishiwashi and Quagsire, which are rather annoying for Sandaconda. Lanturn can take care of special wallbreakers like Choice Specs Jellicent and Magmortar, which are really threatening for Sandaconda, and makes a good defensive core with Ferroseed.

Sandaconda is a solid (great, not solid) setup sweeper capable of surprising unprepared teams (it's a common set so i probably wouldnt say surprising? but this is v nitpicky) thanks to the fantastic Rest/Shed Skin/Coil combo (that's part of makes it so threatening but this wording kinda makes it sound like that's all it needs to be a good sweeper). Its good (not good, more like decent) Speed tier coupled with its decent (nitpicky again but i'd say solid) defensive stats and its good attack make it a threat (say allow it to setup on instead, it's not an immediate threat to ferro and audino) to passive defensive Pokemon such as Audino, defensive Charizard, or and Ferrosseed. His Its Shed Skin ability allows it him to prefer run Stone Edge to over Sleep Talk and allows him it to hit almost the entire metagame. (i'd prefer if u mentioned what stone edge hits instead) Its excellent type allows it to come for free on Pokemons such as Togedemaru or Aggron in order to set up for free. (i think u could merge this sentence with the one where u talk abt passive mons like audino n ferro n defensive zard) His speed’s spread The EVs in Speed allows him Sandaconda to outspeed Adamant Aggron in order to OHKO it after a Coil. Its spread in PV and Special Defense allows it to be a perfect switch-in to Charizard (it's not really for zard, as u still cant switch into offensive sets anyway. it's moreso just to have overall solid bulk amd getting forced out by less after a couple of boosts, but u could also just remove this part anyway as it's basically implied when ur talking abt its solid bulk / setting up on defensive zard) since in addition to being a fodder setup for Sandaconda, it absorbs its Toxik (Toxic) thanks to the combination of Shed Skin and Rest. Sandaconda fits very well with Pokemon such as Ninjask which pivots on steel Pokemon such as Aggron (u dont need it to anyway, as sanda switches into aggron regardless) which Sandaconda can setup on while eliminating annoying (this wording makes it sound like sanda is the 1 getting rid of grass-types) plant types Grass-types, or Jellicent which checks Wishiwashi and Quagsire, which are rather annoying for Sandaconda.

i'd prefer if u mentioned charizard > ninjask, as it can actually switch into mons and provides more support w like toxic for bulky waters

Sandaconda is a great setup sweeper able of destroy unprepared teams thanks in part to the fantastic Rest/Shed Skin/Coil combo. Its decent Speed tier coupled with its solid defensive stats and typing as well as its good attack allow it to setup on passive defensive Pokemon such as Audino, defensive Charizard, and Ferrosseed (also mention its pseudo-status immunity due to Shed Skin + Rest). Its Shed Skin ability allows it to run Stone Edge over Sleep Talk and allows it to hit the Flying types that are not threaten by Earthquake, like Charizard and Articuno-Galar (no need for the long sentence, you can just say StEdge hits most Ground immunes like [example 1] or [example 2]). In addition to being a fodder setup for Sandaconda, it absorbs its Toxic thanks to the combination of Shed Skin and Rest (I'm sorry, whose Toxic? That should be clarified). Sandaconda fits very well with Pokemon such as Charizard which can take care of Grass-types Pokemon such as Eldegoss while Sandaconda can take care of Aggron or Gigalith which are rather annoying for Charizard or Jellicent which checks Wishiwashi and Quagsire, which are rather annoying for Sandaconda. (mention some defensive partners that can deal with strong special wall breakers like Jellicent and Magmortar)

Please look over the grammar and punctuation of this, sites like Grammarly are helpful for cleaning this up a little so GP has a easier time looking this over.
When you're done implementing this, tag me and I'll look at it again.

For some reason I didn't get the ping. Only changes to make are removing the Ferroseed example when mentioning what Sandaconda can set up on (unnecessary + Leech and Knock are annoying, you can change this to something like Gigalith if you're concerned about having too little mentions), putting proper commas where they need to be, and using the correct tenses for verbs like "take" and "give" in order to give GP an easier time doing this. When that's implemented, QC 1/1.
