[SET COMMENTS]
By virtue of its already great Speed tier further boosted by Choice Scarf, Sneasler makes for a great speedy threat on Fighting teams. Furthermore, a great ability in Poison Touch allows it to double as a potential status spreader. Dire Claw not only threatens Fairy-types such as Iron Valiant, Enamorus, and Primarina, but its secondary effect alongside Sneasler's ability makes it a consistent way to spread status. U-turn allows it to bring in a teammate safely while also dealing great damage to Psychic-types like Hoopa-U and Latios. Switcheroo disables walls such as Corviknight, Skarmory, and Archaludon, and thanks to its Poison-typing, it doesn't need to fear obtaining Black Sludge from users like Alolan Muk and Toxapex. Alternatively, Rock Slide can be used to target Fire- and Flying-types like Volcarona, Moltres, and Zapdos, which can possibly hinder Sneasler's offensive capabilities due to the former two running Flame Body and the latter running Static. Toxic Spikes improves on Sneasler's status spreading by inflicting incoming foes without protection with poison. However, Switcheroo is the preferred option due to its potential in neutering walls.

Great Tusk is a universal teammate for Fighting teams, as it provides Stealth Rock support to wear down incoming foes as well as hazard removal with Rapid Spin so Sneasler doesn't get worn down by Spikes. In return, Sneasler handles Grass-types like the Ogerpon formes, Rillaboom, and Hydrapple. Iron Valiant is a great teammate, as it threatens bulky Fighting-types like Great Tusk and non-Choice Band Zamazenta with Moonblast as well as a multitude of threats like Pecharunt, Okidogi, and defensive Gyarados with its coverage. It appreciates Sneasler taking out Fairy-types like opposing Iron Valiant, Primarina, and Enamorus in return. Breloom makes for a great partner, as it can immobilize a check to Sneasler like Corviknight and Great Tusk with Spore, and it threatens Ground-types Sneasler dislikes such as Excadrill, Clodsire, and Gliscor. Water-type partners like Keldeo and Urshifu-R not only threaten the aforementioned Ground-types, but they also threaten Fire-types such as Volcarona and Moltres when Sneasler chooses to forego Rock Slide. The two of them appreciate Sneasler's potential status spreading weakening checks like Sinistcha and Dragonite so they can be removed later on. Zamazenta makes for another great partner, as with its Iron Defense set, it easily takes advantage of physical setup sweepers like Swords Dance Excadrill and Swords Dance Iron Hands while boosting the power of its own Body Press, while Choice Band variants threaten Ground- and Flying-types such as Garchomp, Landorus, and Dragonite. Iron Hands, with its great bulk and coverage, handles Flying-, Water-, and Poison-types such as Tornadus-T, Barraskewda, and Clodsire. Lastly, late-game sweepers such as Hisuian Lilligant and Agility Gallade appreciate Sneasler's ability to threaten Fairy-types and wearing down walls with both its status and Switcheroo so that they can start their own sweeping.

Iron Valiant is a great teammate, as it threatens bulky Fighting-types like Great Tusk and Zamazenta with Moonblast as well as a multitude of threats like Pecharunt, Okidogi, and defensive Gyarados with its coverage.

- Specify the Zama is non-Choice Band Zamazenta

Water-type partners like Keldeo and Urshifu-R not only threaten the aforementioned Ground-types, but they also threaten Fire-types such as Iron Moth, Talonflame, and Moltres when Sneasler chooses to forego Rock Slide.

- Take away Iron Moth and T Flame as examples and just add in Volcarona. Specs Moth runs Discharge and T Flame can either Wisp the urshifu or just flat out ohko keldeo.

Iron Hands, with its great bulk and coverage, handles Flying-, Water-, and Poison-types such as Corviknight, Tornadus-T, Barraskewda, Toxapex, and Clodsire.

Too many examples remove Corvi and Pex.

QC 2/2 Well done.
