[OVERVIEW]
Seismitoad is a top-tier Stealth Rock setter and defensive Pokemon by virtue of its great utility. Seismitoad's typing and ability allow it to switch into prevalent Pokemon like Rotom-H and Cinderace and stop Dracovish from spamming Fishious Rend, giving it plenty of opportunities to set Stealth Rock; in addition, it can easily punish common entry hazard removers like Corviknight, Mandibuzz, and Excadrill, helping keep Stealth Rock up. Unfortunately, Seismitoad suffers from being rather easy to take advantage of; Pokemon like Substitute Hydreigon and Rotom-C can easily switch in on Stealth Rock and Earth Power, and Magic Guard users like Clefable and Reuniclus don't fear Toxic. Furthermore, Seismitoad's exploitable bulk and lack of recovery outside of Leftovers leave it prone to being overwhelmed by Pokemon it should check like Dracovish, Rotom-H, Cinderace, and physical Aegislash and reliant on Wish for longevity.

Set Description
========
Seismitoad is one of the best Stealth Rock setters available; its bulk, typing, and ability enable it to switch into Pokemon like Rotom-H, Hippowdon, and Dracovish and set it. Toxic lets Seismitoad cripple common switch-ins such as Dragapult, opposing Seismitoad, and Rotom-C. Earth Power is favored over Earthquake because of how Seismitoad is prone to being burned by Rotom-H and Rotom-W, it prevents Cloyster from setting up against Seismitoad, and it does a bit more damage to Toxapex. However, Earthquake can be run to hit Gengar, Life Orb Clefable, and Hatterene for more damage. Scald dissuades Corviknight from Pressure stalling Seismitoad out of Stealth Rock PP and prevents Ferrothorn from directly switching into it. Alternatively, Protect lets Seismitoad scout Choice item users such as Dragapult, Aegislash, and Dracovish and allows it to rack up poison damage. Protect also helps out greatly with Seismitoad's longevity. Knock Off is also an option that helps cripple switch-ins like Hydreigon, Ferrothorn, and Venusaur. Maximum investment into physical bulk lets Seismitoad take hits from foes like Excadrill and Tyranitar as best as possible, with a Bold nature being preferred with Earth Power and Relaxed alongside Earthquake. A Relaxed nature also gives Seismitoad an easier time pressuring Corviknight, letting it land Ground-type attacks as Corviknight uses Roost. Water Absorb is necessary so Seismitoad can switch into Dracovish's Fishious Rend and wall Rotom-W.
Usage Tips
========
Seismitoad is presented with plenty of opportunities to set Stealth Rock against Pokemon it checks, such as Rotom-H, Rotom-W, and Choice-locked Dracovish, Terrakion, and Toxtricity. Since Seismitoad commonly draws in foes like Ferrothorn, Hydreigon, and Rotom-C that can take advantage of it rather easily on turns it sets Stealth Rock, aiming to cripple them with Scald or Toxic may be preferable. Although Seismitoad can take certain attacks from Pokemon like Dracovish, Choice item Aegislash, and Choice Specs Dragapult, it's vulnerable to their other attacks; scout them with Protect to determine your best way of playing against them. Additionally, Protect helps scout Trick users, which is beneficial to prevent Seismitoad from losing its Leftovers or gaining a harmful item. Since Seismitoad can be worn down rather easily, it's important to keep it healthy by passing Wishes to it.
Team Options
========
Rotom-H is a great partner because it easily deals with Ferrothorn and Rotom-C as well as Mandibuzz and Corviknight; in return, Seismitoad is a great check to Water-types, its Stealth Rock helps pressure Dragapult and Hydreigon, and it can poison opposing Seismitoad, which helps Rotom-H overwhelm it in the long run. Because Seismitoad can be overwhelmed by strong special attackers like Dragapult, Kyurem, Hydreigon, and Life Orb Clefable, it appreciates teammates like Mandibuzz, Corviknight, Clefable, and Sylveon; furthermore, Mandibuzz and Corviknight provide Defog support, Sylveon helps keep Seismitoad healthy with Wish, and Clefable provides cleric support. Similarly to Mandibuzz and Corviknight, Excadrill pairs well with Seismitoad because it can remove entry hazards, which prevents Seismitoad from being overwhelmed by coverage options as easily. In return, Seismitoad handles Water-types.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Seismitoad has some use as an offensive Stealth Rock setter that can take advantage of its great coverage to threaten defensive cores; additionally, this variant has use under rain with Swift Swim, which makes it even more potent offensively. However, Seismitoad suffers from a severe decrease in defensive merit and is very prediction reliant to successfully break down teams. Grass Knot helps against opposing Seismitoad and Gastrodon, and Gastro Acid is useful against ability-reliant Pokemon like Toxapex, Clefable, and Conkeldurr, preventing them from taking advantage of Seismitoad as easily. However, they are difficult to fit onto the set.
Checks and Counters
===================
**Magic Guard and Magic Bounce Users**: Clefable and Reuniclus can easily switch into Seismitoad, fearing very little from it due to their bulk and ability and using it as setup fodder for entry hazards or stat boosts. Furthermore, offensive Clefable variants heavily pressure Seismitoad with their STAB Moonblast. Hatterene and Xatu are a bit more problematic, since they bounce back Seismitoad's Stealth Rock and Toxic.
**Grass-types**: Although neither appreciate being statused, Ferrothorn threatens Seismitoad with an OHKO via Power Whip and can use it as setup fodder for Spikes, while Rotom-C can set Substitute and Nasty Plot against it. Venusaur is especially problematic given its immunity to Toxic, and it can easily set up with Growth against Seismitoad.
**Special Wallbreakers**: Pokemon like Choice Specs Dragapult, Nasty Plot Hydreigon, and Choice Specs Aegislash heavily pressure Seismitoad due to its lesser special bulk. Furthermore, Hydreigon can freely set Substitute against Seismitoad.

[OVERVIEW]
Crapustule est l'un des meillieurs poseur de Piège de Roc, grâce à la grande utilité qu'il apporte. Le type de Crapustule, ainsi que son talent, lui permet de switch sur des Pokémon dominants comme Motisma-Chaleur et Pyrobut tout en empêchant Hydragon d'utiliser Branchicrok à volonté. En addition de cela, il peut facilement punir les nettoyeurs d'entry hazard comme Corvaillus, Vaututrice et Minotaupe, aidant à garder les Piège de Roc sur le terrain. Malheuresement Crapustule souffre du défaut d'être assez facile à exploiter; des Pokémon comme Clonage Trioxhydre et Motisma-Tondeuse peuvent facilement switch-in sur une utilisation de Piège de Roc et Telluriforce, tandis que les utilisateurs de Garde Magik ne craignent pas Toxic. En plus de cela, le bulk expoitable de Crapustule et son manque de moyen de se soigner en dehors des Restes font que Crapustule est vunérable à être submergé par des Pokémon qu'il devrait check comme Hydragon, Motisma-Chaleur, Pyrobut et Exagide physique. Cela le rend également dépendant des Voeu de la part de ses coéquipiers pour avoir une longévité durant la bataille.

Détails du set
========
Crapustule est l'un des meillieurs utilisateur de Piège de Roc disponible; la combination de son bulk, de son type et de son talent lui permet de switch sur des Pokémon comme Motisma-Chaleur, Hippodocus et Hydragon, et de poser les Piège de Roc. Toxic laisse Crapustule punir des switch-ins commun tel que Lanssorien, le Crapustule adverse et Motisma-Tondeuse. Telluriforce est préfèré à Séisme parce que Crapustule est vunérable à être brulé par Motisma-Chaleur et Laveuse. Telluriforce empêche également Crustabri de se placer contre Crapustule en plus de faire plus de dommage à Prédastérie. Cependant, Séisme peut être joué pour infliger plus de dégats à Ectoplasma, Mélodelfe Orbe Vie et Sorcilence. Ébullition dissuade Corvaillus de venir PP stall les PP de Piège de Roc avec Pression, et dissuade également Noacier de switch directement contre Crapustule. Alternativement, Abri laisse Crapustule scout les utilisateurs d'objet Choix tel que Lanssorien, Exagide et Hydragon, mais aussi prolonger sa durée de vie avec les Restes, en plus de gratter un tour de poison supplémentaire. Sabotage est également une autre option, qui aide Crapustule à punir ses switch-ins comme Trioxhydre, Noacier et Florizarre. Un investisement maximal dans le bulk physique de Crapustule le laisse prendre des coups de Pokémon adverses comme Minotaupe et Tyranocif aussi mieux que possible, avec une nature Assuré préfèré avec Telluriforce et Relax avec Séisme. La nature Relax donne également plus de chance à Crapustule pour mettre la pression sur Corvaillus, laissant ce dernier utiliser Atterrissage en premier et ainsi annuler son immunité, permettant à Crapustule de faire une attaque Sol sur Corvaillus. Absorb Eau est nécessaire pour que Crapustule puisse switch-in sur le Branchicrok d'Hydragon et bloquer Motisma-Laveuse.
Conseils d'utilisation
========
Crapustule possède de nombreuses occasions de poser les Piège de Roc contre les Pokémon qu'il check tels que Motisma-Laveuse, Motisma-Chaleur, et également contre des utilisateurs d'objets Choix bloqué sur des attaques résistés par Crapustule comme Hydragon, Terrakion et Toxtricity. Étant donné que Crapustule attire couramment des Pokémon comme Noacier, Trioxhydre et Motisma-Tondeuse, qui peuvent facilement switch et profiter d'un Crapustule posant les Piège de Roc, utiliser Ébullition ou Toxic pour les handicaper est préférable. Bien que Crapustule peut prendre certaines attaques de Pokémon équipés d'un objet Choix comme Hydragon, Exagide et Lanssorien, il est vulnérable à leur autres attaques. Ainsi, utiliser Abri pour déterminer votre meilleur moyen de jouer contre ces Pokémon est une bonne idée. En plus, Abri peut être utilisé pour aider à ne pas se surprendre par les utilisateurs de Tourmagic, qui est bénéficiaire à Crapustule pour l'empêcher de perdre ses Restes et de gagner un objet handicapant. Étant donné que Crapustule peut être facilement affaibli, il est important de le garder en forme via des Vœu de la part de ses coéquipiers.
Options d'équipe
========
Motisma-Chaleur est un très bon partenaire pour Crapustule parce que il peut facilement s'occuper de Noacier et Motisma-Tondeuse. En retour, Crapustule est un excellent check aux types Eau, il pose les Piège de Roc, aidant contre Lanssorien et Trioxhydre, et il peut empoisonné un Crapustule adverse, ce qui aide Motisma-Chaleur à le battre sur le long terme. Parce que Crapustule peut être mis sous pression par de puissants attaquants spéciaux comme Lanssorien, Kyurem, Trioxhydre et Mélodelfe Orbe Vie, il apprécie le support de coéquipiers comme Vaututrice, Corvaillus, Mélodelfe et Nymphali. De manière plus détaillée, Vaututrice et Corvaillus peuvent utiliser Anti-Brume, Nymphali soigne Crapustule avec Vœu, et Mélodelfe peut soigner les altération d'état. D'une manière similaire à Corvaillus et Vaututrice, Minotaupe s'associe bien avec Crapustule parce qu'il peut enlever les entry hazard, empêchant Crapustule d'être facilement battu. En retour, Crapustule prend en charge les types Eau.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Autres Options
=============
Crapustule possède des mérites en tant que poseur de Piège de Roc plus offensif, profitant de sa grande couverture offensive. Cette variente a également un grand potentiel offensif sous la pluie avec Glissade. Cependant, Crapustule souffre d'une baisse très noticiable de ses capacités défensives, et le set en lui-même est dépendant de prédictions pour être effiace. Noeud'Herbe aide contre Tritosor et les autres Crapustule, tandis que Suc Digestif est utile contre les Pokémon dépendant de leur talent comme Prédastérie, Mélodelfe et Bétochef, les empêchant de prendre facilement avantage de Crapustule. Néanmoins ces deux attaques sont difficiles à mettre dans le moveset de Crapustule.
Checks et Contres
===================
**Utilisateurs de Garde Magik et de Miroir Magik**: Mélodelfe et Symbios peuvent facilement switch sur Crapustule, et l'utiliser pour poser des entry hazard ou encore pour se booster, et cela grâce à leur bulk et talent. En particulier, les varientes offensives de Mélodelfe font beaucoup de dégâts à Crapustule avec le Pouvoir Lunaire STABée. Sorcilence et Xatu sont un peu plus problématique, étant donné qu'ils revoient les Piège de Roc de Crapustule ainsi que son Toxic.
**Les types Plante**: Bien qu'ils n'apprécient pas d'être touché par des altérations d'état, Noacier menace Crapustule d'un OHKO via Megafouet et peut en profiter pour utiliser Picot, tandis que Motisma-Tondeuse peut utiliser Clonage et Machination contre Crapustule. En particulier, Florizarre est problématique en raison de son immunité à Toxic, et qu'il peut facilement se set up avec Growth contre Crapustule.
**Wallbreakers Spéciaux**: Des Pokémon comme Lanssorien Lunettes Choix, Trioxhydre Machination et Exagide Lunettes Choix mettent énormément la pression sur Crapustule en raison de son bulk spécial moins conséquent. Trioxhydre en particulier peut utiliser Clonage en toute sécurité contre Crapustule.
