[SET COMMENTS]
Vullaby is an excellent entry hazard remover thanks to its access to Defog, great bulk, and longevity. Foul Play lets Vullaby reliably check some of the hardest-hitting wallbreakers in the tier such as Gourgeist-L, Fraxure, and Stoutland. Knock Off is an alternative over Foul Play to remove items from walls such as Hippopotas and Vespiquen, but it is far weaker and makes Vullaby more passive. Vullaby's slow U-turn lets it safely bring its teammates onto the field. Taunt can be used over U-turn, allowing Vullaby to break passive walls such as Dusclops, Hippopotas, and Pyukumuku. Toxic is another option that cripples common switch-ins such as Stonjourner, Corsola, and Silvally-Ice. Whirlwind can be run to phaze setup sweepers like Swoobat and Bellossom that need several boosts to break through Vullaby. Brave Bird can be run in order to threaten Fighting-types such as Machoke, Grapploct, and Hakamo-o, which can otherwise freely switch in on Vullaby.
This set struggles against special attackers such as Mr. Mime, Raichu, and Lunatone, so special walls such as Klang and Dusclops are great partners. Moreover, Ice-type checks like Corsola, Lampent, and Munchlax are appreciated, since Ice-types such as Silvally-Ice, Galarian Mr. Mime, and Glalie threaten Vullaby. Corsola is especially good paired with Vullaby, since it can absorb Knock Off from Persian and Galarian Linoone while enjoying Vullaby's ability to handle Gourgeist-L and Leafeon. Furthermore, Vullaby can form a VoltTurn core with other pivots such as Klang, Vespiquen, and Seaking, so wallbreakers enjoying slow VoltTurn such as Pikachu, Mr. Mime, and Gourgeist-L are good teammates. Offensive teammates that are weak to Stealth Rock such as Silvally-Ice, Swoobat, and Lampent benefit from Vullaby's Defog while also pressuring stallbreakers that beat Vullaby like Ivysaur.
