Although it lacks the reliable recovery of the tier's bulky Water-types and the power of Inteleon or Barraskewda, Seismitoad is a useful Stealth Rock user for offensive teams that need a check to Pokemon such as Galarian Slowbro, Salazzle, Barraskewda, and Inteleon. Earthquake is its strongest STAB attack, and 140 Attack EVs with an Adamant Nature means that Seismitoad is always able to 2HKO Calm Mind Galarian Slowbro once its Black Sludge is removed. Despite Seismitoad's Attack investment, Scald is chosen over Liquidation to do more damage to its physically defensive targets, such as Rhyperior and Steelix. Knock Off is able to threaten Earthquake switch-ins such as Mantine, Bronzong, and Tangela by either damaging them or removing their item. However, Toxic can be used over Knock Off, as it is also able to cripple many of those switch-ins. Seismitoad's Speed investment enables it to outspeed max Speed Jolly Bewear.

Teammates:

I don't think I'll have time to get through this. Dropping Seismitoad; whoever picks it up, feel free to work off of this draft
