Done [Monotype] (Swords Dance Sneasler / Poison) [QC 1/1] [GP 1/1]

[Murphy Lawden]

Sneasler @ Air Balloon
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Throat Chop
- Acrobatics / Dire Claw

With the combination of Swords Dance and Unburden, Sneasler becomes a devastating sweeper for Poison teams, outrunning nearly the entire metagame and shredding through foes with relentless power and speed. Air Balloon provides a Ground immunity, giving Sneasler setup opportunities against foes like Great Tusk and Choice Band Excadrill. At +2, Close Combat breaks through pesky Steel- and Dark-types like Archaludon and Ting-Lu while also threatening Skarmory. Throat Chop lets Sneasler target Ghost-types like Gholdengo and Dragapult. After its Air Balloon pops, Acrobatics becomes a powerful option for Sneasler to pressure foes like Great Tusk and Toxapex. A Jolly nature is preferred to let Sneasler outspeed and KO the Ogerpon formes and Latios even before the Unburden boost. On the other hand, Dire Claw threatens Fairy-types like Hatterene and Primarina. Choice Specs Iron Moth pairs beautifully with Sneasler, eliminating threats like Hippowdon and Gholdengo. Alolan Muk can support Sneasler with Knock Off removing Rocky Helmet from the likes of Skarmory along with wearing down bulkier Ghost- and Psychic-types like Pecharunt and Slowbro.

Jolly is the better nature, Adamant is super stinky.

With the combination of Swords Dance and Unburden, Sneasler becomes a devastating sweeper for Poison teams, outrunning nearly the entire metagame and shredding through opponents with relentless power and speed. Air Balloon provides a Ground immunity, giving Sneasler set up opportunities against foes like Swampert and Clodsire Great Tusk and Sandy Shocks. (Pert sample has roar and Clodsire could be unaware, even at +2 Acro doesn't kill Water absorb variants) At +2, Close Combat breaks through pesky Steel- and Dark-types like Archaludon and Ting-Lu while also threatening Skarmory. Throat Chop lets Sneasler target Ghost-types like Gholdengo and Dragapult. After its Air Balloon pops, Acrobatics becomes a powerful option for Sneasler to pressure foes like Great Tusk and Toxapex. On the other hand, Dire Claw threatens Fairy-types like Hatterene and Primarina. Choice Specs Volcarona Iron Moth pairs beautifully with Sneasler, eliminating threats like Hippowdon and Gholdengo while appreciating the removal of special walls like Hisuian Goodra and Alolan Muk. (If this was the Scarf or Pivot set than maybe but here Sneasler is a one and done.) Sneasler benefits from entry hazards set by teammates like Clodsire and Glimmora. Glimmora can also serve Sneasler providing hazard support along with providing Corrosion Toxic preventing foes such as Iron Hand and Toxapex from reliably checking Sneasler. Alolan Muk leverages its Dark typing and high special bulk to take on Psychic- and Ghost-types like Latias and Flutter Mane. Alolan Muk can support Sneasler with Knock Off removing Rocky Helmet from the likes of Skarmory along with wearing down bulkier Ghost- and Psychic-types like Slowbro and Pecharunt.

1/1 Murphy.

Murphy Lawden Change the nature to Jolly. Being able to outspeed and commit murder to Latios and Ogerpon before the unburden boost is better

Ty again to both of you and Pengairxan
