Scheduled Sandslash [ZU]

[Dead by Daylight]

Sandslash @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Tera Type: Poison
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Knock Off
- Stealth Rock / Gunk Shot

Sandslash eats up entry hazards and physical attacks for breakfast down in ZU! Rapid Spin is crucial in a tier desperate for hazard removal options, while spinblockers such as Spiritomb, Sableye, and Drifblim dislike Knock Off cutting into their longevity. Stealth Rock allows Sandslash to set up hazards against foes it fends off, such as Toxicroak and Passimian, while Gunk Shot allows it to directly threaten greedy Shaymin and Arboliva attempting to switch in. Finally, Rocky Helmet alongside full investment in Defense allows Sandslash to punish physical attackers like Hisuian Sneasel and Lycanroc recklessly throwing out STAB moves. Teammates like Sneasel and Jolteon, which greatly appreciate hazards being kept off the field, pair perfectly with Sandslash and its utility repertoire. An impressive array of resistances thanks to its pure Ground typing also makes it a solid choice alongside Basculin and Charizard.

Sandslash eats up entry hazards and physical attacks for breakfast down in ZU! Rapid Spin is crucial in a tier desperate for hazard removal options, while spinblockers such as Spiritomb, Mesprit, (did you mean Sableye ? If this is about rocky helmet this makes mesprit a contact punisher rather than a spinblocker and if so I'd pick weezing over mesprit as an example for that role) and Drifblim dislike Knock Off cutting into their longevity or removing their ability to punish Rapid Spin (see previous comment, understanding this part would require knowing mesprit runs rocky helmet which isn't granted and not always true). Stealth Rock allows Sandslash to set up hazards against foes it fends off, such as Toxicroak and Passimian, while Gunk Shot allows it to directly threaten greedy Shaymin and Arboliva attempting to switch in. Finally, Rocky Helmet alongside full investment in Defense allows Sandslash to punish physical attackers like Hisuian Sneasel and Lycanroc recklessly throwing out STAB moves. Teammates like Clawitzer Sneasel and Jolteon, which greatly appreciate hazards being kept off the field, pair perfectly with Sandslash and its utility repertoire. An impressive array of resistances thanks to its pure Ground typing also makes it a solid choice alongside Basculin and Charizard.
