Mudbray is one of the best entry hazard setters in LC with the ability to tank attacks from physical attackers like Vullaby, Mienfoo, and Hisuian Growlithe as well as punch holes into opposing teams. Stone Edge allows it to hit common threats like Vullaby and Wingull. Close Combat allows it to threaten good damage to Toedscool on swap in, while Roar is good to stop setup sweepers such as Shellder and Nasty Plot Vullaby. Tera Water helps defensively against common threats like Shellder and Hisuian Growlithe. Alternative, Tera Flying could be used alongside Tera Blast to be able to beat Toedscool.

Vullaby is a great teammate for Mudbray, as it checks Ground-resistant foes such as Toedscool and Grookey. In return, Mudbray threatens the Steel- and Rock-types such as Tinkatink, Glimmet, and Hisuian Growlithe that beat Vullaby. Another common teammate is Foongus, as it appreciates Mudbray's ability to beat Poison- and Steel-types like Stunky, Pawniard, and Tinkatink for it. Finally, Snubbull and Mudbray form a powerful defensive core, as Mudbray takes on both of Snubbull's weaknesses with ease and Snubbull can help against powerful physical threats like Mienfoo and Vullaby.
