[SET COMMENTS]
Seismitoad is the premier Stealth Rock setter for Swift Swim teams while also providing an Electric-type immunity for the team. Hydro Pump is hard to switch into under rain, and Earth Power is strong Ground-type STAB move for Seismitoad to use. Focus Blast allows Seismitoad to 2HKO Ferrothorn. Grass Knot will enable Seismitoad to take on opposing rain teams with more ease as well as Water immune Pokemon such as Gastrodon and opposing Seimsitoad, with Hydro Pump being able to take on Ground teams in the rain easily. However, Ferrothorn is harder to break past for the team without Focus Blast. Seismitoad's EV spread allows it to take advantage of the rain to its best ability by being as strong and as fast as possible.
Barraskewda and Gyarados appreciate Seismitoad's ability to set up Stealth Rock as well as help them break past physical walls such as Ferrothorn and Corviknight by wearing them down. Gyarados can also take on Grass-type Pokemon such as Ludicolo for Seismitoad with Max Airstream. Gyarados is also a check to Choice Scarf Gardevoir on rain teams, which poses a considerable threat to Swift Swim Water teams through outspeeding every Pokemon on the type by obtaining Swift Swim through Trace. Seismitoad pairs well with Crunch Choice Band Barraskweda as it can take on Ghost's defensive core of Eviolite Galarian Corsola and Jellicent which can be hard for Seismitoad to break past
