this week's victim is..

:ss/sneasel:
Sneasel @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Knock Off
- Triple Axel
- Ice Shard

being incredibly fast and having access to great stab moves as well as a good boosting move makes sneasel a super potent wallbreaker and setup sweeper. obviously, it still suffers from some issues; it's somewhat weak and can sometimes be too reliant on ice shard against faster threats due to its mediocre bulk and defensive typing. have fun and good luck to all!!

:ss/garbodor:
Garbodor @ Rocky Helmet / Black Sludge
Ability: Aftermath
EVs: 200 HP / 252 Def / 56 Spe
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Gunk Shot
- Body Press
- Pain Split / Corrosive Gas / Toxic​

you dont resist its stabs, but can only ever be 2hko'd by its unboosted triple axel with rocks up, and the chance is negligible; being ohko'd after an sd boost is also unlikely, but i can happen. in return, sneasel has to worry about being ohko'd by body press and the possibility of taking recoil from rocky helmet

252 Atk Sneasel Triple Axel (40 BP) (3 hits) vs. 200 HP / 252+ Def Garbodor: 129-156 (36.7 - 44.4%) -- approx. 3HKO (approx. 0.4% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock)
+2 252 Atk Sneasel Triple Axel (40 BP) (3 hits) vs. 200 HP / 252+ Def Garbodor: 261-309 (74.3 - 88%) -- approx. 2HKO (approx. 6.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock)

252+ Def Garbodor Body Press vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Sneasel: 456-540 (181.6 - 215.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

:Ribombee:
Ribombee @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Moonblast
- U-turn / Psychic / Aromatherapy
- Roost​

nomming ribombee as a check. It's already a top tier mon in PU thats ranked highly on the VR, is fast, and can threaten a lategame sweep with QD.

it can only be hit by ice shard by sneasel, and OHKOs it with Moonblast: 252 SpA Ribombee Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Sneasel: 318-374 (126.6 - 149%) -- guaranteed OHKO
After an SD Ice Shard doesn't come close to killing: +2 252 Atk Sneasel Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Ribombee: 159-187 (60.9 - 71.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

it can also roost up later in the game to recover lost HP so that's cool too!

in conclusion ribombee is a very viable check. thank you.

:Ss/Lycanroc:
Lycanroc @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Close Combat
- Psychic Fangs
- Accelerock​
Lycanroc always OHKOes sneasel with Accelerock, regardless of hazard damage. However, it cannot switch in reliably, as with Stealth Rock up, Sneasel can OHKO with Triple Axel. If Lycanroc isn’t careful, Ice Shard can eventually pick it off reliably at around 38% after Stealth rock. Therefore, Lycanroc is a check to Sneasel.
252 Atk Life Orb Lycanroc Accelerock vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Sneasel: 252-299 (100.3 - 119.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Sneasel Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Lycanroc (38%): 76-90 (26.1 - 30.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
252 Atk Sneasel Triple Axel (40 BP) (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Lycanroc: 228-270 (78.3 - 92.7%) -- approx. 18.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
 
:ss/aggron:
Aggron @ Leftovers
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Head Smash
- Heavy Slam
- Protect

Aggron does Aggron thing, it takes almost no damage on the physical side and it can easily revenge kill Sneasel.

252 Atk Sneasel Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aggron: 76-91 (22 - 26.4%) -- 15.6% chance to 4HKO
252 Atk Sneasel Triple Axel (40 BP) (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aggron: 48-57 (13.9 - 16.5%) -- approx. possible 9HKO after Leftovers recovery

4 Atk Aggron Heavy Slam (120 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Sneasel: 456-536 (181.6 - 213.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
