[SET COMMENTS]
Fur Coat Avalugg blanket checks physical attackers in the tier with its gargantuan bulk. Rapid Spin makes it a passable entry hazard remover, removing hazards against foes like Garchomp and Hippodown, backed by a powerful Body Press to hit switch-ins like Corviknight. Crunch can also be used to hit foes like Skeledirge and Gholdengo well, preventing them from spinblocking. Avalugg fits on more defensive teams that can cover its weaknesses more easily, so it should be paired with Ice Scales users like Blissey and Garganacl that can switch into special attackers like Iron Bundle and Dragapult. Fire- and Fighting-type switch-ins like Toxapex and Skeledirge can switch into physical attackers Avalugg cannot check, like Ceruledge and Slither Wing; in return, Avalugg switches into Pokemon like Baxcailbur and Chien-Pao for them. Avalugg has trouble removing entry hazards versus most Ghost-types, so other hazard removers like Corviknight and Great Tusk can help it out greatly.
