Mantine is a good Water immunity and special wall thanks to its bulk. Scald can help with Torkoal, Tyranitar, and Hippowdon while also having a chance to burn physical attackers such as Scizor, Excadrill, and Dracovish. Haze is useful against setup sweepers like Volcorona, Hydreigon, Primarina, and Hatterene. Defog is useful to get rid of Stealth Rock for its teammates while Roost allows Mantine to keep itself healthy thoughout the match. Running 252 HP With 252 Special Defense EVs and a Calm nature allows Mantine to take Indeedee-M's Expanding Force and effectively sponge Volcorona's and Hatterene's attacks and Haze their boosted stats away. Water Absorb allows Mantine to come in on Water-type attacks from Kingdra, Dracovish, and Seismetoad while Heavy-duty boots prevents Mantine from taking Stealth Rock damage.

All teammates appreciate Mantine for being able to come in on Water-type attacks and being able to Haze away boosts from Hatterene, Hydreigon, Primarina, and Volcorona. Mandibuzz is a much needed teammate to help with physical attackers that Mantine cannot take well like Azumarill, Scizor, and Dragapult with Foul Play. Choice Scarf Charizard greatly helps Mantine with taking on Steel- and Bug-types like Ferrothorn, Excadrill, Jirachi, and Galvanta. Noviran greatly helps in the Dragon-type matchup with being able to take on Kyurem and Duraludon. Corviknight is a good partner that greatly helps out in the Fairy matchup with being able to take on Mimikyu, Grimmsnarl, and Azumarill. Choice Scarf Togekiss is also a great partner that can help revenge kill Hydregion and take on Urshifu-S thanks to its Fairy-typing. Hawlucha is another teammate that can greatly help in the Steel-, Bug-, Dark-type matchup with Excadrill, Araquaid, and Urshifu-S thanks to Unburden and its Fighting typing.

- Mantine is a good Water immunity and special wall thanks to its bulk. Scald can help with Torkoal, Tyranitar, and Hippowdon while also having a chance to burn physical attackers such as Scizor, Excadrill, and Dracovish. Using Tyranitar in this example seems kinda off because with Torkoal and Hippowdon, you can stay in and risk like a Toxic or Burn from Lava Plume where as opposed to Tyranitar, you have a high change of getting OHKOd by Stone Edge "IF" you do not get burned.
- Water Absorb allows Mantine to come in on Water-type attacks from Kingdra, Dracovish, and Seismetoad while Heavy-duty boots prevents Mantine from taking Stealth Rock damage. mention this earlier before the ev spread
- Why does Mantine run Heavy-Duty Boots?
- All teammates appreciate Mantine for being able to come in on Water-type attacks and being able to Haze away boosts from setup sweepers such as Hatterene, Hydreigon, Primarina, and Volcorona. Hydreigon seems like a weird example considering Mantine is just Substitute-fodder but its up to you if you wanna keep it as an example.
- Noviran greatly helps in the Dragon-type matchup with being able to take on Substitute Kyurem thanks to Infiltrator and Duraludon with Draco Meteor. Choice Scarf Togekiss is also a great partner that can help revenge kill Hydregion and take on Urshifu-S thanks to its Fairy-typing. Togekiss does not only run Choice Scarf; not saying its bad but NP is prevalent on both types currently. Mention Choice Scarf Noivern instead imo.
- Mention Skarmory. This is a set by Attribute on the samples currently for reference:
Skarmory (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Body Press
- Spikes
- Roost
- Toxic
few minor grammar errors, should look over before gp, good work!
