This thread is used to show the roles of different Pokemon, whether it be supporters or offensive sweepers. If there is a Pokemon that you think should be here but isn't, it is probably due to the Pokemon not seeing any success. If you feel a Pokemon should be here or is in the wrong section, let us know down below. Pokemon can also be in multiple sections.
DON'T just comment: "[pokemon]shouldn't be in[role]". Instead, you should write at least a sentence or two on why you believe this. Feel free to ask any questions!

Updates will happen as needed! (PM me here or on Discord if you want to see something added)

Some thoughts on some potential additions
Primarina is a set up sweeper with calm mind, tho haze is more common
Kingambit is an important set up sweeper to include
Frosmoth as a snow abuser
Clefable is redirection
Murkrow and hydregion for tailwidn

I agree with all of these aside from Primarina and Frosmoth. I’ll add all of these aside from the aforementioned Pokemon, and I think for now Hydreigon will be left out from the Tailwind section.
 
I'm kinda surprised Bronzong got mentioned as a Trick Room setter but not Porygon2, as the mon is in legitimate archetype, even if it doesn't rely on Trick Room that much.
 
Paralysis: Clefable
Setup: Kommo-o

You may also want to separate Pokemon based on the kind of redirection they provide (Rage Powder vs Follow Me)
 
Could we get Haze/Clear Smog for support? I think especially w/ Archaludon and Dondozo being so prevalent it warrants a list. Off the dome I'd say Amoonguss, Primarina, Murkow as top options.
 
Is Tyranitar using Choice Band still? I feel like it's all AV. Also, Klefki could be added as a Screens setter
