Shroodle functions as a potent setup sweeper on hyper offense teams, using Unburden to outspeed the entire metagame after consuming its Grassy Seed. Grassy Seed triggers Unburden while providing a much needed Defense boost in the absence of Eviolite which aids Shroodle in setting up. Swords Dance allows Shroodle to reach threatening levels of Attack. Gunk Shot is its strongest move which threatens heavy damage on most foes, while Knock Off removes Eviolite from walls like Mareanie. Alternatively, Double-Edge is an accurate STAB move that allows Shroodle to hit Mudbray and Mareanie for huge damage without burning its own Terastalization at the cost of recoil damage. Acrobatics pairs well with Grassy Seed, gaining a power boost once the item is consumed and allowing Shroodle to pressure key threats like Mienfoo and Foongus. Tera Flying provides an immunity to Ground-type attacks from Mudbray and Alolan Diglett, making it easier for Shroodle to set up and giving Acrobatics the extra boost needed for late-game cleaning.On the other hand, Tera Ground with Tera Blast lets Shroodle muscle past Steel- and Rock-types such as Tinkatink and Glimmet that resist its STAB moves.
Shroodle is best supported by teammates that help it activate Unburden and cover its defensive gaps. Grookey is mandatory, setting Grassy Terrain to activate Grassy Seed, weakening the power of Earthquake, and offering valuable passive recovery. Shroodle appreciates Shellder’s ability to pressure bulky Ground-types such as Mudbray. In return, Shroodle threatens foes like Foongus, Mareanie, and Mienfoo that hinder Shellder’s sweep. Shroodle can also be paired with another Unburden sweeper in Drifloon that forms a Grassy Terrain core along with Grookey. Other offensive partners like Alolan Diglett can help handle foes that trouble Shroodle, such as Tinkatink and Glimmet, while also punishing defensive Terastalization attempts, such as Steel-type on Mienfoo that Shroodle can bait out.
