[SET]
Clodsire @ Black Sludge
Name: Physically Defensive (Poison)
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 SpD
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
- Recover
[SET COMMENTS]
Leaning more into its physical defense Clodsire can become a surprisingly adept check to setup physical attackers like Scizor, Ceruledge, and Bisharp which otherwise cause immense issues for Poison teams. Earthquake enables it to pressure the aforementioned threats along the likes of Kleavor and Hisuian Goodra. Toxic puts pressure onto Flying-types like Latios and Moltres which otherwise effortlessly come in on Clodsire. The EV spread used maximums Clodsire's physical bulk while still letting it take two offensive Volcarona Psychic's from full.
With its vastly decreased special bulk, Alolan Muk serve as even more vital partner now being tasked to take on special attackers Clodsire has completely given up handling like Flutter Mane, Darkrai, Greninja, and Hydreigon. Similarly Assault Vest Galarian Slowking helps greatly against the likes of Kyurem, Choice Specs Terapagos, and Zapdos. Toxapex serves as a great complimentary partner to Clodsire being able to take on the likes of Weavile, Meowscarada, and Hisuian Arcanine. Amoonguss can help handle the Water- and Ground-types Clodsire cannot handle like Urshifu-R, Swampert, and Great Tusk. Galarian Weezing can handle threats like SD Garchomp and Mamoswine for Clodsire along with using Will-O-Wisp to cripple physical attackers like Lokix so Clodsire can easily handle them. Pecharunt is capable of handling hard hitting attackers capable of easily breaking through Clodsire like Gliscor and Choice Band Meowscarada. Iron Moth can handle Ice-types that would otherwise terrify Clodsire like Alolan Ninetales, Articuno, and Frosmoth along with removing Skarmory and Corviknight in the Steel matchup. Okidogi and Sneasler appreciate Clodsire's Stealth Rock wearing down Flying-types like Enamorus and the Landorus formes and in return can threaten Normal- and Dark-types like Ursaluna, Porygon2, and Hisuian Samurott.
