With the addition of Grassy Terrain from Grookey, Shroodle has found a new niche as a setup sweeper utilizing Grassy Seed with Unburden. Its Speed tier of 18 and Unburden lets it become the fastest Pokémon in the meta, while the Defense boost from 10 to 15 lets it survive more hits as it sets up on things such as opposing Grookey. Gunk Shot and Knock Off form an amazing and annoying combo of attacking moves; STAB Gunk Shot hits hard and can OHKO every neutral target at +2 while Knock Off is more reliable accuracy-wise and cripples things relying on Eviolite or Oran Berry to outlast Shroodle and revenge kill it, such as Toedscool and Drifloon, respectively. Tera Ground flips its weaknesses and allows it to KO foes that check it, especially Alolan Grimer and Pawniard, which otherwise sit on Shroodle. Grookey enables Shroodle with Grassy Terrain, while also having other tools to wear down checks and counters such as Pawniard and Crabrawler. Memento support from Alolan Diglett, Hisuian Zorua, and Drifloon also provides Shroodle an easier time to setup by letting it come in for free.
