Stonjourner’s staggering physical prowess is two fold in power and physical bulk, which makes it excel as a Choice Scarf user. As a revenge killer, it easily takes out common sweepers like Silvally-Ice, Fraxure, and Raichu. Conversely, Stonjourner itself is hard to revenge kill when cleaning weakened teams, especially when priority users like Persian and Pikachu are ineffective with their Normal-type coverage. With a hefty weight, Heat Crash proves to be generally effective neutrally while also targeting common Grass-types like Gourgeist-L, Shiinotic, and Bellossom. Earthquake is reliable coverage that pummels bulkier Pokemon like Corsola and Carkol and opposing Stonjourner. Superpower is a stronger, less-spammable option for the aforementioned targets that also isn't weakened by Grassy Terrain. Otherwise, Stealth Rock may be opted for if the team values additional entry hazard support, and Stonjourner finds opportunities to set Stealth Rock when forcing switches.
Pair Stonjourner with Grass-types such as Gourgeist-L and Ivysaur that pressure its checks, namely opposing Ground- and Water-types such as Hippopotas, Whiscash, Pyukumuku, and Palpitoad. Electric-types like Raichu, Emolga, and Pikachu are also great for wearing down these same Ground- and Water-types. Stonjourner will also need the support of special walls and pivots like Vespiquen, Klang, and Dusclops, as its pitiful Special Defense makes it vulnerable to bulkier or faster special attackers like Corsola, Wartortle, and Choice Scarf Mr. Mime. Using Stonjourner as a switch-in for physical attackers like Persian, Pikachu, and Galarian Linoone is risky as they can utilize Knock Off to remove its Choice Scarf. Instead, use walls like Shiinotic and defensive Gourgeist-L to absorb Knock Off, as well as tank opposing Fighting-, Grass-, and Ground-type attacks, and they in return appreciate Stonjourner pressuring their checks like Galarian Mr. Mime and Carkol.

Securing Stealth Rock is easy for Stonjourner as it pressures vulnerable Defog or Rapid Spin users like Vespiquen, Togetic, and Carkol. It does however have a hard time initially setting Stealth Rock when against entry hazard setters and leads like Palpitoad, Glalie, and Lunatone that prey on Stonjourner’s non-present special bulk. Heat Crash and Earthquake compliment Stone Edge by doing more damage to slower targets like Klang, Corsola, Ivysaur, and Trevenant. Superpower can be chosen over Earthquake for more immediate damage against Pokemon like Klang, Stoutland and Dunsparce, which is especially relevant if Stonjourner has Grassy Terrain support. Life Orb secures a 2HKO on defensive Gourgeist-L and offensive Wartortle while also having a high chance of OHKOing Vullaby after Stealth Rock damage. Otherwise, Eject Pack with Superpower both preserves Stonjourner's HP and offers a one-time pivot out against checks like Whiscash, Grapploct, and Palpitoad.
Stonjourner should wait for an opportunity to set Stealth Rock until when its against Pokemon its comfortable trading hits with. Setup sweepers like Silvally-Ice, Galarian Mr. Mime, and Bellossom deal with bulky Ground-types like Hippopotas and Vibrava. Grassy Terrain Support from Grookey prevents Krokorok and Hippopotas from being effective with their Earthquake, while it and other Grass-type attackers like Trevenant and Gourgeist-L pressure Stonjourner’s Ground- and Water-type checks. Klang, Vespiquen, and Vullaby soak up attacks from common special attackers like Beheeyem and Shiinotic, and pivot to Stonjourner. Offensive pivots, especially Electric-types like Pikachu and Raichu, also help to this degree. Ghost-types like Lampent, Dusclops, and Choice Band Gourgeist-L check offensive Rapid Spin users like Galarian Mr. Mime and Wartortle that Stonjourner fails to deal with on its own. Gourgeist-L can also check Fighting-types like Grapploct and Machoke, and additional pressure against these two from Mr. Mime and Shiinotic is warranted as well.
