Gen 5 Froslass (QC 1/1) (GP 0/1)

[Gamer1234556]

[OVERVIEW]
Froslass has a very small niche on hyper offense teams as a lead, since it's the only Pokemon that can set up Spikes and block Rapid Spin. Taunt lets it further prevent entry hazards from opposing hazard leads like Skarmory. Froslass can also take out slower Pokemon that attack it after breaking its Focus Sash with Destiny Bond, making it harder to play around than other hazard-setting leads like Landorus-T and Garchomp. However, Froslass's defensive profile is insignificant, meaning it's deadweight outside of the lead slot and often has to pick between setting up multiple layers of Spikes or landing a KO with Destiny Bond. Its typing also leaves it prone to Pursuit trapping from Tyranitar and Scizor. Froslass faces strong competition as a Ghost-type with Taunt from Jellicent, which has much better defensive utility, and as a Spikes setter on hyper offense from Skarmory, which can also set Steath Rock and run a Custap Berry or Salac Berry + Sturdy set to easily set multiple hazards.
