With access to both Reflect and Light Screen, in addition to a fantastic ability in Prankster, Grimmsnarl is a great option on offensive Dark teams. Prankster allows Grimmsnarl to set up priority Reflect and Light Screen so its teammates can set up more easily. Grimmsnarl also has access to priority Taunt, which stops Defoggers, entry hazard setters, and setup sweepers such as Noivern, Galvantula, and Cloyster, respectively. Spirit Break allows Grimmsnarl to hit Mandibuzz, which is able to Defog away both Reflect and Light Screen, as it is immune to Prankster Taunt. Grimmsnarl should be used early- to mid-game, setting up screens to support its teammates as frequently as possible. Maximum HP and Special Defense investment improve Grimmsnarl's bulk, allowing it to set up screens multiple times throughout the match.

All of Grimmsnarl's teammates appreciate dual screens halving the damage taken. Setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Bisharp, Nasty Plot Hydreigon, and Dragon Dance Tyranitar all appreciate Grimmsnarl providing dual screens for them, as it allows them to set up more easily. Bisharp appreciates Grimmsnarl's ability to weaken foes such as Mandibuzz for it. Choice Scarf Drapion is able to set up Toxic Spikes for the team and can threaten Fairy teams. Other niche setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Crawdaunt and Swords Dance Weavile both appreciate dual screens support from Grimmsnarl. Mandibuzz is able to take attacks from the likes of Duraludon and Excadrill that threaten Grimmsnarl and provide Defog and U-turn support to get rid of entry hazards and safely bring in teammates.

* 'Prankster allows Grimmsnarl to set up priority Reflect and Light Screen which boosts both Grimmsnarl and its teammate's defenses allowing them to set up more easily.' Reflect and Light screen dont boost defenses, they reduce the damage received from opposing Pokemon so change the wording to reflect this. 'For 5 turns, the user and its party members take 0.5x damage from physical attacks, or 0.66x damage if in a Double Battle.'

*'Spirit Break allows Grimmsnarl to hit Mandibuzz which is able to Defog away both Reflect and Light Screen as it is not susceptible to Taunt.' Mention Prankster Taunt specifically for more clarity.

* Talk about using Grimmsnarl early to mid game more to support its teammates. No reliable form of recovery so it should be preserved to set screens through out the match and should switch out to an appropriate teammate after setting screens.

*'All of Grimmsnarl's teammates appreciate the doubled bulk in which Dual Screens provides. Setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Bisharp, Nasty Plot Hydreigon, and Dragon Dance Tyranitar all appreciate Grimmsnarl providing dual screens for it as it allows them to set up more easily.' Same as what I said in the first point, screens reduce the damage taken so reword this to imply that.

Good job

"Grimmsnarl also has access to priority Taunt, which prevents Defoggers such as Noivern, Pelipper, or Rotom from getting rid of the screens it has set up, in addition to being able to deny hazards and status moves from Pokemon such as Galvantula, Toxapex, and Ferrothorn, and lastly is able to prevent setup from sweepers such as Cloyster and Kyurem-B."
- This is a very heavy sentence. Reword it and I don't think you need three examples for each thing you talk about.

"Tyranitar is a great partner for Grimmsnarl as it is able to Stealth Rock for the team wearing opponents down and breaking Focus Sash."
- Why is this a big deal for Grimmsnarl in particular? I think this is just fluff detail so I'd remove it unless you can make it more relevant to Grimmsnarl.

- Replace the Swords Dance Incineroar with Bulk Up or just remove it altogether.

Nice job, QC 2/2

With access to both Reflect and Light Screen, along with and a fantastic ability in Prankster, Grimmsnarl is a great option on offensive Dark teams. Prankster allows Grimmsnarl to set up priority Reflect and Light Screen, which halves the damage done to both Grimmsnarl and its teammates, allowing them to set up more easily. Grimmsnarl also has access to priority Taunt, which stops Defoggers, hazard setters, and setup sweepers such as Noivern, Galvantula, and Cloyster respectively. Spirit Break allows Grimmsnarl to hit Mandibuzz, which is able to Defog away both Reflect and Light Screen as it is not susceptible to Prankster Taunt. Grimmsnarl should be used early- to mid-game, setting up Reflect and Light Screen to support its teammates as frequently as possible. Light Clay is able to extend the duration of both Reflect and Light Screen. Maximum HP and Special Defense investment improve Grimmsnarl's bulk, allowing it to set up sScreens multiple times throughout the match.

All of Grimmsnarl's teammates appreciate the halved damage taken in whichthat Ddual Screens provides. Setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Bisharp, Nasty Plot Hydreigon, and Dragon Dance Tyranitar all appreciate Grimmsnarl providing dual sScreens for itthem as itthey allows themthose Pokemon to set up more easily (I just corrected some direct object pronouns, and I changed the last one to clarify for the reader what you are referring to there). Bisharp appreciates Grimmsnarl's ability to weaken foes such as Mandibuzz for it. Choice Scarf Drapion is able to set up Toxic Spikes for the team and can threaten Fairy teams. Other niche setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Crawdaunt and Swords Dance Weavile both appreciate dual sScreens support from Grimmsnarl.
