[SET COMMENTS]
Shell Smash Wartortle is an effective setup sweeper in the NFE metagame. Hydro Pump can be used over Surf to more reliably break through foes like specially defensive Tinkatuff, with favorable odds to 2HKO it after taking Spikes chip damage. Ice Beam helps nail Dragon- and Grass-types like Drakloak, Gabite, Ivysaur, and Servine. Substitute can provide a safe opportunity to avoid status and set up against foes that will be forced to switch out, such as Koffing and Piloswine; Rapid Spin is an alternative that can help with boosting Wartortle's Speed while also allowing it to function as entry hazard removal for its team. The Speed investment ensures that Wartortle can outspeed Drakloak, Frogadier, and Raboot at +2 while also outpacing the niche Hakamo-o and Mienfoo at +1.

Wartortle is a powerful setup sweeper for bulky offense and offense teams, though it struggles to break through metagame staples like Quaxwell and Tinkatuff without adequate support. Such support can come in the form of entry hazard setters like Frogadier, Piloswine, and Tinkatuff. Drakloak and Misdreavus are valuable teammatesas they provide spinblock support against Quaxwell as well as disruption in the form of status spreading to help Wartortle set up more effectively. Knock Off partners like Clefairy and Monferno are valuable, as they can offer Eviolite removal to help a boosted Wartortle secure KOs against foes like Misdreavus and Quaxwell after some chip damage, as well as offer Stealth Rock support. Offensive setup partners, like Swords Dance users Gabite and Thwackey and Nasty Plot Girafarig, can provide tremendous support in wearing down foes that Wartortle struggles against, like Dunsparce, Hisuian Sliggoo, and Vigoroth. Toxic Spikes support from Glimmet, Ivysaur, and Koffing can also help break through Dunsparce and Quaxwell, though Wartortle still needs them chipped down considerably before attempting to set up and sweep. Thwackey is a great partner, as it provides Grassy Terrain to help Wartortle recover health, allowing it some more leeway while setting up. Servine is a notable Wartortle counter, threatening to OHKO it with Leaf Storm; Monferno and Raboot are great partners to sponge attacks from Servine while offering offensive support and safe entry points via U-turn.

Wartortle is a powerful setup sweeper for bulky offense and offense teams, though it struggles to break through metagame staples like Quaxwell and Tinkatuff without adequate support. Such support can come in the form of entry hazard setters like Piloswine, Quilladin, and Tinkatuff. Drakloak and Misdreavus are valuable teammates as they provide spinblock support against Quaxwell as well as disruption in the form of status spreading to help Wartortle setup more effectively. Paralysis spreaders like Clefairy and Dunsparce are valuable as they can offer Stealth Rock support and disruption in the form of Knock Off and Thief, respectively. Wartortle doesn't benefit as much since it'll already be pretty fast at +2 and doesn't hit too hard pre-Shell Smash. I'd emphasize more on Knock Off users to achieve possible damage calculations at +2 Offensive setup partners, like Swords Dance users Gabite and Thwackey and Nasty Plot Girafarig, can provide tremendous support in wearing down foes that Wartortle struggles against, like Dunsparce, Hisuian Sliggoo, and Vigoroth.
