[SET]
Sneasler @ Choice Scarf
name: Choice Scarf (Fighting)
Ability: Poison Touch
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Dire Claw
- U-turn
- Switcheroo / Rock Slide / Toxic Spikes

[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Sneasler is an extremely fast revenge killer that decimates Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, Quark Drive-boosted Iron Valiant, and Adamant Sand Rush Excadrill for Fighting teams. Close Combat and Dire Claw have near-perfect synergy, aside from Dire Claw's ability to punish passive answers—like Toxapex and Slowbro—that swap into its STAB moves. U-turn pivots Sneasler out of switch-ins such as Skeledirge, Aegislash, and Gliscor, bringing in Choice Specs Iron Valiant and Mega Gallade. Switcheroo further punishes walls like Corviknight if the extra speed is unneeded. Alternatively, Rock Slide lets it revenge kill Quiver Dance Volcarona, freeing up a moveslot on Iron Hands, while Toxic Spikes greatly pressure Fairy teams wary of Dire Claw. Night Slash can also be the final move for Sneasler, as it notably hits Gholdengo and Aegislash, but pivoting out of these threats is usually the better option. Choice Scarf Sneasler is a late-game cleaner, so wallbreakers and setup sweepers such as the aforementioned Kommo-o and Mega Gallade are appreciated, as these deal with Corviknight, Gliscor, and Toxapex. Kommo-o also benefits from Sneasler dealing with Fairy-types, as this allows Kommo-o to use Clangorous Soulblaze. Choice Specs Iron Valiant loves being pivoted in safely against physical walls like Skeledirge and Mega Sableye, which wall Sneasler. Assault Vest Iron Hands is a soft check against Gholdengo and Volcarona and can pivot Sneasler in against walls, which it can inconvenience. Hisuian Lilligant and Breloom deal with Gastrodon and Quagsire and also ease the Water and Ground matchups. As with the other setup sweepers, these also love the setup opportunities Sneasler opens up by being able to punish walls with Dire Claw's additional effects or with Switcheroo. Entry hazard support from Cobalion and Great Tusk is also appreciated, and these provide a secondary answer to Mimikyu and Zeraora, respectively. These teammates also appreciate Sneasler's ability to remove Toxic Spikes, greatly easing the matchup against Water and Poison teams.

CAT! Great analysis, some minor comments:
- Add Aegislash to the switchins that Sneasler pivots out of with U-turn
- Add Night Slash in-paragraph as an option that prevents Sneasler from getting completely walled by mons such as Aegislash and Gholdengo (which Fighting teams have trouble dealing with as well)
- Mention that Fighting teams appreciate Sneasler getting rid of Toxic Spikes

Choice Scarf Sneasler is a late-game cleaner, so wallbreakers and setup sweepers such as the aforementioned Kommo-o and Mega Gallade talk about how sneaseler removes/threatens fairies to open up kommo-o's z are appreciated as these deal with Corviknight, Gliscor, and Toxapex.

As with the other setup sweepers, these also love the setup opportunities Sneasler opens up if it can disable walls with Dire Claw's additional effects or with Switcheroo using "disable" as a terminology is kinda weird since its also a move, nothing inherently wrong but there's probably better words or ways to word it like "....Sneaseler opens up by being able to punish walls with Dire Claw's additional effects...". Entry hazard support from Cobalion and Great Tusk is also appreciated and these provide a secondary answer to Mimikyu and Zeraora, respectively. These teammates also appreciate's Sneasler's ability to remove Toxic Spikes, greatly easing the matchup against Water and Poison teams.
