[SET COMMENTS]
* With Incredible HP and Solid Physical Defense, Dondozo can slot in as a defensive menace on some teams. "Yawndozo" specifically can be very troubling for opponents, even without the usual support from Tatsugiri. "Yawndozo" synergizes especially well with Sand Tomb Ting-Lu. The ability to trap and damage your opponents while consistently putting them to sleep can be a deadly combo.
* Wave Crash is Dondozo's most powerful STAB option for consistent damage. Wave Crash also allows you to threaten massive damage into common meta threats such as Chi-Yu, Incineroar, and Landorus.
* Heavy Slam is extremely valuable for the ability to OHKO Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao. Heavy Slam also gives coverage to hit Articuno and Ninetales-A.
* Yawn allows for the consistent slowing down of your opponents by usually forcing them to switch. Yawn is also very good into setup sweepers, such as Dragon Dance Gouging Fire, or any other mon looking to setup like Kommo-o.
* Yawn is also great for the added benefit of working on common meta grass types like Ogerpon-W, Ogerpon-H, Rillaboom, and Ammonguss. It also allows you to hit Safety Goggles holders like Farigiraf and Raging Bolt.
* Leftovers is the best item here for the ability to consistently heal back Dondozo's health when its opponents are asleep. Leftovers healing can also stack really nicely with Grassy Terrain recovery for some solid healing. Rillaboom is another mon that synergizes well with Dondozo because of this.
* The investment in Special Bulk gives Dondozo a better matchup into Flutter, Gholdengo, Sylveon, Ursaluna-B, and other special attackers. The HP investment allows you to survive one 252 Atk Jolly Nature Ogerpon-W Wood Hammer.
* You have a choice between 3 defensive tera types for this set, Fairy, Fire, and Grass. Fairy is just a really solid defensive type, Fire is good for turning the matchup on Flutter Mane and Gholdengo, and Grass is good for the resistance to Grass and Electric along with an immunity to Spore from Ammonguss, which usually gives Dondozo trouble.
