LC Shellos

Shellos @ Eviolite
Level: 5
Ability: Sticky Hold
EVs: 228 HP / 132 Def / 100 SpD / 4 Spe
Impish Nature
- Facade
- Curse
- Amnesia
- Recover
Shellos has recently risen in usage as a bulky setup sweeper that is very difficult to wear down. Sticky Hold prevents Knock Off from removing Eviolite, and the combination of Curse, Amnesia, and Recover allows Shellos to consistently accrue multiple boosts and become almost impossible to KO. Facade is the preferred attacking move, as it is boosted by status and Curse. Its main checks are Grookey, Foongus and Frillish. As such, it appreciates teammates able to remove Grass-types, like Ponyta and Trapinch, and consistent answers to Frillish, like Pawniard.

Facade is the sole attacking move of choice due to being able to hit everything relevant in the tier save for Frillish, while also being boosted by status conditions, Shellos' biggest weakness.
your writing could use less clauses and commas and more periods. this sentence should be rewritten to say "Facade is the prefered attacking move as it is boosted by statuses and Curse."
Its main checks are Grookey, Ferroseed and Frillish.
Foongus is more of a counter than Ferroseed is.

qc: 1/1
