Monotype Cloyster (Ice)

Cloyster @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Skill Link
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Icicle Spear
- Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic Spikes

Cloyster's useful defensive typing, providing a resistance to Water, and Rapid Spin make it a good defensive Pokemon and entry hazard remover, while Spikes and Toxic Spikes make it a superior entry hazard remover to Avalugg. Icicle Spear synergizes well with its ability Skill Link, pressuring most physical attackers like Excadrill, Dragonite, and Mimikyu, as well as Flying-type Defoggers like Mandibuzz and Zapdos. Spikes and Toxic Spikes effectively chip down opposing walls, like Toxapex and Aegislash, for fellow wallbreakers like Kyurem, Galarian Darmanitan, and Glastrier. Both hazards can also limit and punish switch-ins from common offensive threats such as Urshifu-S and Excadrill. Cloyster can often use Rapid Spin on forced switches after pivoting into a physical attacker. Choice Scarf Weavile threatens Ghost-types that spinblock Cloyster like Spectrier, Dragapult, and Aegislash, while Alolan Ninetales provides Aurora Veil support and checks Fighting-types like Urshifu-S and Keldeo. They both appreciate Cloyster removing entry hazards for them.

Cloyster's physical bulk, hazard pressure, defensive typing giving it a resistance to Water, and ability to Rapid Spin away other hazards mold it as a premier entry hazard setter and defensive tank for Ice monotype teams [Would mention how it's preferred over Avalugg as an entry hazard remover]. Icicle Spear is a reliable Ice-type STAB move, synergizing [fluff] synergizes well with its ability Skill Link and, (AC) being capable of pressuring most physical attackers that Cloyster checks [Like? would also talk about Icicle Spear dealing good damage to Defoggers like Mandibuzz and Zapdos]. Spikes and Toxic Spikes are effectively used to chip down opposing defensive walls, like Toxapex or Aegislash, for fellow Ice-type wallbreakers like Kyurem, Galarian Darmanitan, and Glastrier. They can also limit switchins from common offensive threats such as Urshifu or Excadrill, punishing every most switchins [Heavy-Duty Boots exist so not every switch-in imo] with direct damage or poison damage and deterring any further attempts to switch in [Not needed]. Rapid Spin lets Cloyster stack its own entry hazards most effectively while removing opposing entry hazards; it can often use Rapid Spin on forced switches after pivoting into a physical attacker.

- Add Alolan Ninetales and Choice Scarf Weavile as teammates

If this is over the character limit after changes are implemented, lmk. QC 1/1
