[OVERVIEW]
With access to Dragon Dance, a fairly rare move for Pokemon in PU, and a typing that allows it to resist types that are fairly common in PU, Whiscash may seem like a good choice for a setup sweeper. However, in reality, it has horrible offensive and defensive stats that make it extremely difficult to do damage and seem like a threat. Whiscash’s lack of coverage and severely disappointing stats, even at +1, make it near impossible to sweep an entire team, as its terrible Speed allows it to get revenge killed very easily that makes it very difficult setting up without fainting.

[SET COMMENTS]
This set attempts to set up Dragon Dance on Pokemon such as Aggron and Alolan-Sandslash that cannot do much damage to Whiscash and attempt to sweep the opponent's team. However, due to its underwhelming offensive presence and lack of good coverage, Whiscash is an awful choice for a setup sweeper. Instead, one could go with a more consistent Shell Smash sweeper such as Carracosta or Omastar. Carracosta and Omastar are better sweepers not only because they have good coverage and can beat Pokemon that would normally check them, but also because of their better offensive and defensive stats. These two Shell Smash users also have better bulk and are much harder to revenge kill than Whiscash, resulting in them being much better choices for sweepers.
