Grimmsnarl uses its unique Dark / Fairy typing to gain advantages against many of the Fighting-, Ghost- and Dragon-types in the metagame. Sucker Punch, complemented with Choice Band, allows Grimmsnarl to beat Choice item Dragapult and Dracovish. Play Rough is useful in beating Fighting- and Dragon-types like Urshifu, Kommo-o, and Goodra. Trick allows Grimmsnarl to handle Substitute and stall Pokemon like Dragapult, Galarian Corsola, and Rotom-W. Power Whip is useful for handling Water-types like Blastoise, Vaporeon, and Gastrodon, as well as beating bulky offense Primarina variants. Superpower can also be run with more physically defensive EVs in order for Grimmsnarl to defeat Choice Scarf Excadrill. The given EVs allow Grimmsnarl to survive Choice Band Urshifu's Close Combat. Alternatively, a spread of 56 HP / 168 Atk / 240 SpD / 44 Spe enables Grimmsnarl to survive a Flash Cannon from Aegislash, 2HKO Dracovish with Sucker Punch, and outspeed uninvested Umbreon. You can also opt to run 72 HP / 140 Atk / 252 Def / 44 Spe, which allows Grimmsnarl to survive a Poison Jab from Choice Band Haxorus and beat Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan.
When against Dracovish, you should always click Sucker Punch turn one in order to halve the damage from Fishious Rend. When against Dragapult, it is essential to use Trick turn one in order to scout against Substitute Dragapult while also guaranteeing the win against other variants. Rotom-W is an excellent teammate due to its ability to handle Steel-types like Aegislash and Steelix. In return, Grimmsnarl can handle Dragon- and Ghost-types like Dragapult and Goodra. Fire-types like Choice Band Arcanine and Rotom-H benefit from Grimmsnarl greatly due to their ability to handle Steel- and Fairy-types like Aegislash and Skarmory, Sylveon, and, for the latter, Aromatisse. In return, Grimmsnarl can handle Dragon-types like Dragapult, Choice item Dracovish, and Choice Scarf Haxorus.

Bulk Up is used to so that Grimmsnarl can handle Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan, Dracovish, and Dracozolt. Play Rough hits Dragon-types like Urshifu-R and Kommo-o. Taunt is useful for dealing with Pokemon like Galarian Corsola, Crustle, and stall Rotom-H. Sucker Punch is necessary to lower the damage output of Fishious Rend from Dracovish and Bolt Beak from Dracozolt, beat Galarian Darmanitan, and play mind games with Choice Scarf Chandelure alongside Taunt.
When against Dracovish and Dracozolt, Grimmsnarl must Bulk Up twice to ensure that it 2HKOes, aided by Sitrus Berry with Sucker Punch to avoid moving after them. Against Galarian Darmanitan, you should only click Bulk Up once so Grimmsnarl can 2HKO with Sucker Punch. Alternatively, if it uses Giga Impact after you use Bulk Up, Grimmsnarl should Play Rough and Sucker Punch afterward. Rotom-W is an excellent teammate due to its ability to handle Steel-types like Aegislash and Steelix. In return, Grimmsnarl can handle Dragon- and Ghost-types like Dragapult and Goodra. Grimmsnarl fares well against wallbreakers like Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan and Dracovish, which stall Pokemon like Chansey, Arcanine, and Skarmory benefit greatly from. In return, they can aid Grimmsnarl against Pokemon like Sylveon, Azumarill, and Choice Specs Magnezone.
