[OVERVIEW]
Despite its good offensive typing and solid movepool, Swinub is held back by its poor bulk and Speed stat as well as a bad defensive typing. Swinub heavily competes with other Stealth Rock setters such as Onix and Tirtouga, the former of which has higher Speed stat and the latter of which has higher offensive capabilities to pressure entry hazard removers. Both Onix and Tirtouga also have access to Sturdy and are able to switch into Flying-types such as Vullaby due to their higher physical bulk.

[SET COMMENTS]
This set attempts to act as a Stealth Rock setter through the use of a Focus Sash. However, Swinub's poor bulk and defensive typing limit its longevity and leave it unable to keep entry hazards up, leaving Swinub outclassed by other Stealth Rock setters such as Onix, Tirtouga, and Pawniard.
