Dubwool is a niche setup sweeper that has the deadly combo of Cotton Guard and Body Press, which lets it boost its Defense while becoming strong offensively. It differentiates itself from other defensive sweepers like Iron Defense Cofagrigus and Calm Mind Alcremie thanks to its excellent Speed tier, allowing it to sweep past wallbreakers such as Flapple, Indeedee-F, and Abomasnow. Payback offers coverage for frail Ghost-types Gourgeist-S and Golurk, as well as Cofagrigus. Rest provides recovery for Dubwool and, in conjunction with its ability Fluffy and Rocky Helmet, means it can outstall Iron Defense Cofagrigus lacking Leftovers and Rest. Alternatively, Substitute can help block status attempts from Rotom-S and Clefairy. Maximum Defense and Speed investment allows Dubwool to OHKO special attackers like Indeedee-F and Rotom-F after a single Cotton Guard boost. A set that invests in Special Defense and has Sleep Talk lets Dubwool set up on Rotom-S and Wishiwashi, but the lack of Speed makes it less reliable as a cleaner.

Dubwool needs significant team support to wear down or break through its checks so it can sweep teams. Toxic and Toxic Spikes users such as Togedemaru, Wishiwashi, Cofagrigus, and Garbodor can help wear down walls such as Cofagrigus and Quagsire; the latter two additionally help check Fighting-types. Special wallbreakers like Abomasnow and Drampa also help wear down physical walls, and they can target supportive Pokemon such as Rotom-S and SubSeed Gourgeist-S that Dubwool has a hard time dealing with; Dubwool can be a switch-in to physical attackers such as Togedemaru and Silvally-Dragon for these wallbreakers and punish them with Rocky Helmet in return. Dubwool should avoid status itself, as being forced to use Rest early can halt its sweep, so support it with status absorbers like Clefairy.

Dubwool is a niche setup sweeper that has the deadly combo of Cotton Guard to boost both its Defense and the power of Body Press. It differentiates itself from its competition (what is its competition? you should give examples here because off the top of my head and given the examples of Pokemon Dubwool outspeeds, I can think of plenty of other options that also outspeed those Pokemon) thanks to its excellent Speed tier, allowing it to sweep past special wallbreakers such as Drampa, Indeedee-F, and Abomasnow. Payback offers coverage for Ghost-types, notably targeting frailer examples such as Gourgiest-S Gourgeist-S and Golurk. Rest provides recovery for Dubwool, and in conjunction with its ability Fluffy and Rocky Helmet, Dubwool can outstall Iron Defense Cofagrigus, given that Cofagrigus lacks Leftovers and Rest itself. Alternatively, Substitute over Rest can help block status attempts against Rotom-S and Clefairy. Maximum Defense and Speed investment allows Dubwool to 1HKO OHKO special attackers like Indeedee-F and Rotom-F after a single Cotton Guard boost. A set that invests in Special Defense and has Sleep Talk lets Dubwool set up on Rotom-S and Wishiwashi, but the lack of Speed makes it less reliable as a cleaner.

Dubwool needs significant team support to wear down or break through its checks if it aims to sweep teams. Toxic and Toxic Spikes users such as Togedemaru, Garbodor, and Wishiwashi (reorganize the list so the Toxic users come first, also add Cofagrigus as an example and address how it and Garbodor help to check Fighting-types) can help wear down walls such as defensive Cofagrigus and Quagsire. Special wallbreakers like Abomasnow and Drampa also help in these cases, and they can target supportive Pokemon such as Rotom-S and SubSeed Gourgiest-S Gourgeist-S that Dubwool has a hard time dealing with; Dubwool can be a switch-in to physical attackers such as Togedemaru and Silvally-Dragon for these wallbreakers and punish them with Rocky Helmet in return. Dubwool should avoid status itself, as being forced to use Rest early can dampen halt its sweep, so support it with special walls like Clefairy and Galarian Stunfisk (these feel like really odd examples. I don't think readers are going to easily make a connection between avoiding status and special walls as teammates).

Rest provides recovery for Dubwool, and in conjunction with its ability Fluffy and Rocky Helmet, it can outstall Iron Defense Cofagrigus, given that Cofagrigus it lacks Leftovers and Rest itself. Alternatively, Substitute over Rest (if you say "alternatively", then it's clear what you are replacing for Substitute) can help block status attempts from Rotom-S and Clefairy.

Dubwool needs significant team support to wear down or break through its checks if it aims to (the first paragraph calls this Pokemon a setup sweeper, so I think the aim is probably always to sweep teams) so it can sweep teams. Toxic and Toxic Spikes users such as Togedemaru, Wishiwashi, Cofagrigus, and Garbodor can help wear down walls such as defensive (you specify it's a wall, so a defensive set is assumed) Cofagrigus and Quagsire; the latter two additionally help check Fighting-types for Dubwool. Special wallbreakers like Abomasnow and Drampa also help in these cases wear down physical walls ("in these cases" implies they check Fighting-types as well), and they can target supportive Pokemon such as Rotom-S and SubSeed Gourgeist-S that Dubwool has a hard time dealing with; Dubwool can be a switch-in to physical attackers such as Togedemaru and Silvally-Dragon for these wallbreakers and punish them with Rocky Helmet in return.

Dubwool is a niche setup sweeper that has the deadly combo of Cotton Guard to boost both its Defense and the power of + (otherwise, you're only describing Cotton Guard and not the "combo") Body Press to both boost its Defense and hit very hard. It differentiates itself from other defensive sweepers like Iron Defense Cofagrigus and Calm Mind Alcremie thanks to its excellent Speed tier, allowing it to sweep past wallbreakers such as Flapple, Indeedee-F, and Abomasnow. Payback offers coverage for Ghost-types like Cofagrigus (RC) and notably targeting targets frailer examples such as Gourgeist-S and Golurk. Rest provides recovery for Dubwool (RC) and, (AC) in conjunction with its ability Fluffy and Rocky Helmet, means (otherwise, its kind of a dangling modifier, given that the previous phrase best refers to Rest) it can outstall Iron Defense Cofagrigus, given that Cofagrigus lacks lacking Leftovers and Rest itself. Alternatively, Substitute over Rest can help block status attempts from Rotom-S and Clefairy. Maximum Defense and Speed investment allows Dubwool to OHKO special attackers like Indeedee-F and Rotom-F after a single Cotton Guard boost. A set that invests in Special Defense over Speed and has Sleep Talk lets can also be used to let Dubwool set up on Rotom-S and Wishiwashi, but the lack of Speed makes it becomes less reliable as a cleaner.

Dubwool needs significant team support to wear down or break through its checks if it aims to sweep teams. Toxic and Toxic Spikes users such as Togedemaru, Wishiwashi, Cofagrigus, and Garbodor can help wear down walls such as defensive Cofagrigus and Quagsire; the latter two additionally help check Fighting-types for Dubwool. Special wallbreakers like Abomasnow and Drampa also help in these cases, and they can target supportive Pokemon such as Rotom-S and SubSeed Gourgeist-S that Dubwool has a hard time dealing with; Dubwool in return, it (not mandatory, but for clarity that "in return" refers to the partners and not on punishing + flow fixes) can be a switch-in to physical attackers such as Togedemaru and Silvally-Dragon for these wallbreakers and punish them with Rocky Helmet in return. Dubwool should avoid status itself, as being forced to use Rest early can dampen halt (choose one) its sweep, so support it with status absorbers like Clefairy.
