Sandshrew-Alola @ Eviolite
Ability: Slush Rush

Jolly Nature
- Icicle Spear
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Rapid Spin

Alolan Sandshrew rolls into the LC metagame with the release of the Teal Mask DLC! Alolan Sandshrew is one of the best sweepers in the tier due to its good matchup against some of the most centralizing threats. Alolan Sandshrew threatens common Pokemon such as Hisuian Voltorb and Vullaby. Earthquake punishes Pokemon that switch into Alolan Sandshrew like Koffing, Tinkatink, and Pawniard. Loaded Dice is an alternative to Eviolite, as it improves the damage of Icicle Spear but weakens Alolan Sandshrew's setup potential. Tera Ice maximizes Alolan Sandshrew's offensive power, boosting each hit of Icicle Spear. Alolan Sandshrew's full potential shines in snow; with its ability Slush Rush Alolan Sandshrew is able to outpace all common Choice Scarf users. Alolan Sandshrew struggles against some of the most common threats: Mienfoo and Timburr; therefore, Fighting-type checks such as Koffing, Foongus, and Gothita are its best partners. It also appreciates entry hazard support to weaken Pokemon that switch in, making the common hazard setter, Glimmet, a great partner.

Character Count: 909

Translator here, not QCer
Wanted to say, in the part of and even OHKOing Vullaby and Toedscool with only two hits. Isn't it contradicting? One Hit - two hits

You're not wrong but multihit move phrasing is weird in general. Especially since Vullaby can survive the two hit Icicle Spear!

• Reword cicle Spear sentence to say you can threaten common pokemon such as Voltorb-H and Vullaby. The specifics can be ignored and Mudbray is a bad example due to Stamina+Tera complications.
• Add the sentence "Loaded Dice can be used instead of Eviolite to improve Icicle Spear at the expense of setup potential."
• EQ pokemon picks are weird - Koffing, Tinkatink, and Pawniard are fair to mention and get rid of the rest.
• Remove the SD + Spin sentence. People generally get it already.
• Rewording the Slush Rush/Hail to simply say you outspeed all common Choice Scarf users.
• Do mention Glimmet to support with hazards.
