With a unique set of Prankster and dual screens support, Grimmsnarl is a great fit on hyper offense teams. Its access to the ability Prankster allows it to not only set up dual screens quickly for its teammates, but it can also shut down Defog attempts from Defoggers such as Corviknight and Rotom-H through Taunt, allowing dual screens to stay on the field before fainting; it also has other major uses such as preventing setup attempts from the likes of Cloyster and Clefable and preventing Pokemon like Hippowdon and Mew from setting up entry hazards. Spirit Break is its primary STAB attack that allows it to deal significant damage to Mandibuzz, Kommo-o, and Conkeldurr while also being able to lower the Special Attack of Pokemon like Clefable and Hatterene. Setup sweepers such as Hawlucha and Gyarados are able to take full advantage of the dual screens support that Grimmsnarl provides. Furthermore, suicide leads such as Mew and Excadrill can set up entry hazards to make it even easier for setup sweepers to break through the opposing team.

With a unique set of Prankster + dual screens, Grimmsnarl is a great fit on hyper offense teams; its access to the ability Prankster allows it to not only set up dual screens quickly for its teammates, but it can shut down Defog attempts from common Defoggers such as Corviknight and Mandibuzz Taunt from Grimmsnarl does not affect Mandibuzz since it's Prankster against a Dark-type through Taunt, allowing dual screens to stay on the field before dying. While it's true that Taunt's main boon is preventing Defog, that's not the only thing it does. (It also prevents: hazards going up, setup, status that can annoy both Grimmsnarl and its teammates, phazing, opposing Taunt, etc. Try to keep it short though.) Spirit Break is Grimmsnarl's primary STAB that allows it to 2HKO or OHKO just say it does significant damage, this wording can be misleading otherwise the likes of Mandibuzz, Kommo-o and Conkeldurr. Talk about its Special Attack lowering effect, otherwise it's not clear why you'd use it over Play Rough. The EV spread shown allows Grimmsnarl to barely outspeed and and 2HKO Mandibuzz without Speed investment and Conkeldurr. You don't have to mention what the Attack EVs do since it's just maxed out. Pokemon that benefit from Grimmsnarl are Pokemon that can take advantage of the dual screens support, so setup sweepers like Hawlucha and Cloyster can take full advantage its support and use that to set up against the opposing team. There are some major redundancies in the wording of this sentence. Furthermore, utility Pokemon I'd just call them suicide leads such as Mew and Excadrill can set up hazards to make it even easier for set up sweepers and to break through the opposing team, while Grimmsnarl's access to fast Taunt can both prevent Defog and other taunt attempts from the likes of Mandibuzz and opposing Mew. I get what you're trying to say, but you've already talked about what Taunt does. Regardless, Grimmsnarl's Taunt doesn't work on Mandibuzz.

I'd like to take another look once this is implemented.

Spirit Break is Grimmsnarl's primary STAB that allows it lower the Special Attack of Pokemon like Hatterene and Clefable, while also being able to deal significant damage to the likes of Mandibuzz, Kommo-o and Conkeldurr. Mention the damaging part before the Special Attack lowering part as it is more important. The EV spread shown allows Grimmsnarl to outspeed Mandibuzz without speed investment and Conkeldurr. Setup sweepers such as Hawlucha and Gyarados are able to take full advantage of the dual screens support that Grimmsnarl provides.
