[SET COMMENTS]
Due to its access to Prankster, dual screens, Parting Shot, and Taunt, Grimmsnarl distinguishes itself as the most reliable dual screens setter on hyper offense teams. Dual screens support gives setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Scizor, Iron Valiant, and Belly Drum Azumarill an easier time setting up and makes revenge killing them significantly harder. Parting Shot gives Grimmsnarl a way to pivot the aforementioned Pokemon in. Grimmsnarl can also use Memento, which further drops the stats of foes, although it doesn't allow Grimmsnarl to set up screens afterwards. Taunt stops would-be setup sweepers like Swords Dance Iron Hands and blocks opposing Pokemon like Glimmora from setting up entry hazards. Alternatively, Thunder Wave cripples faster offensive Pokemon like Iron Valiant, whereas Ceaseless Edge sets up Spikes while not being too passive. Tera Ghost allows Grimmsnarl to block Rapid Spin attempts from Pokemon such as Iron Treads and Great Tusk, although it is inadvisable to waste Tera on Grimmsnarl, as your setup sweepers may require it. Azumarill deserves a special mention as a Grimmsnarl partner, as its Water typing and access to moves like Jet Punch and Tidy Up make it a good Ting-Lu and Tyranitar answer, which would otherwise use Grimmsnarl as setup bait for Stealth Rock and Spikes due to being immune to Taunt.

Due to its access to Prankster, Parting Shot, Taunt, and Ceaseless Edge, Grimmsnarl distinguishes itself as the most reliable screens setter on Hyper Offense teams in STABmons. Dual screens support gives Pokemon such as Dragon Dance Dragonite, Swords Dance Garchomp(Dragon Dance is the more common Chomp setup), and Belly Drum Azumarill an easier time setting up and makes revenge killing them significantly harder. Taunt allows Grimmsnarl to stop would-be set-up sweepers and block opposing Pokemon like Glimmora from setting up entry hazards. Alternatively, Thunder Wave can be used to cripple faster offensive Pokemon like Iron Valiant, or Ceaseless Edge to set up Spikes while not being too passive. Parting Shot gives Grimmsnarl a way of pivoting to bring in the aforementioned set-up sweepers. Tera Ghost allows Grimmsnarl to block Rapid Spin attempts from Pokemon such as Iron Treads and Great Tusk. Advise against wasting Tera on Grimmsnarl generally it is reserved for your sweepers to break through stuff or eliminate weaknesses. Azumarill deserves a special mention as a Grimmsnarl partner, as due to its Water- typing and access to moves like Jet Punch and Tidy Up, it allowing it to act as a good Ting-Lu and Tyranitar answer which otherwise use Grimmsnarl as setup bait for Stealth Rocks and Spikes due to being immune to Taunt., can use Grimmsnarl as setup bait for Stealth Rock and Spikes.

Due Thanks (more positive) to its access to Prankster, screens, Parting Shot, and Taunt, and Ceaseless Edge Hey so, this is not incorrect but see Edge is a slashed move. I think it would make little sense to depict it as one of the mains assets of Grimmsnarl AND not slashing it first. I also put the screens first, as they absolutely need to be mentioned, Grimmsnarl distinguishes itself as the most reliable screens setter on Hyper Offense teams in STABmons. Dual screens support gives Pokemon such as Dragon Dance Dragonite, Dragon Dance Garchomp Swords Dance Scizor, Iron Valiant, and Belly Drum Azumarill an easier time setting up and makes revenge killing them significantly harder. Due to time lap between QC 1/2 and 2/2, two exemples has been banned. I remplaced them with up-to-date mentions. Parting Shot gives Grimmsnarl a way of pivoting to bring in the aforementioned set-up sweepers. (this sentence has to be after what it come in the set. So, before Pshot is move 3, it should came before move 4) It is also possible to play Memento, which further drop the stats of opposing foes but doesn't allows Grimmsnarl to setup screens after it used Memento. pannu told me to slash it... Taunt allows Grimmsnarl to stop would-be set-up sweepers such as Swords Dance Iron Hands; and in addition, it block opposing Pokemon like Glimmora from setting up entry hazards. Alternatively, Thunder Wave can be used to cripple faster offensive Pokemon like Iron Valiant, or Ceaseless Edge to set up Spikes while not being too passive. Parting Shot gives Grimmsnarl a way of pivoting to bring in the aforementioned set-up sweepers. Tera Ghost allows Grimmsnarl to block Rapid Spin attempts from Pokemon such as Iron Treads and Great Tusk, although its it is not advisable to waste Tera on Grimmsnarl as it may be required by your set-up sweepers. Azumarill deserves a special mention as a Grimmsnarl partner, as its Water-typing and access to moves like Jet Punch and Tidy Up allows it to act as a good Ting-Lu and Tyranitar answer, which otherwise use Grimmsnarl as setup bait for Stealth Rocks and Spikes due to being immune to Taunt.

Parting Shot gives Grimmsnarl a way of pivoting to bring in the aforementioned set-up setup sweepers. It is also possible to play use (weird verb choice for this IMO, nonessential change) Memento, which further drops the stats of opposing foes, although it doesn't allow Grimmsnarl to set up (add space, "set up") screens afterwards. Taunt allows Grimmsnarl to stop would-be set-up setup sweepers like Swords Dance Iron Hands, (RC) in addition to blocking opposing (clunky word here when it's obvious its stopping foes) Pokemon like Glimmora from setting up entry hazards. Alternatively, Thunder Wave can be used to cripple faster offensive Pokemon foes (you say "Pokemon" a lot so changing one to help flow) like Iron Valiant, or Ceaseless Edge to can (changing this word makes the comma work) set up Spikes while not being too passive (this feels clunky, "without being passive" or "while attacking" perhaps?). Tera Ghost allows Grimmsnarl to block Rapid Spin attempts from Pokemon such as Iron Treads and Great Tusk, although it is not inadvisable to waste Tera on Grimmsnarl, (AC, comma before "as" when using it to mean "because") as it may be required by your set-up setup sweepers. Azumarill deserves a special mention as a Grimmsnarl partner, as its Water- (RH) typing and access to moves like Jet Punch and Tidy Up allows it to act as a good Ting-Lu and Tyranitar answer, which otherwise use Grimmsnarl as setup bait for Stealth Rock and Spikes due to being immune to Taunt.

GP 1/1

GP Team done
 
Gonna make one last suggestion - "Alternatively, Thunder Wave cripples faster offensive Pokemon like Iron Valiant, while Ceaseless Edge sets up Spikes while not being too passive" sounds very weird and I don't think two back-to-back "whiles" makes for a good sentence.
