Set-Up Sweeper:
If we want to take an offensive approach with 30b, set-up will help bypass some of the challenges faced with Poison/Flying STAB. Compared to the other options, we get a stronger idea of direction with 30b as well as sizable design room for determining our method of set-up. We will need to be mindful with how these options interact with our other form, but, as we saw in the discussion, users believe there are sufficient ways to avoid problematic overlap.
Tank:
This role attempts to strike a balance between offensive and defensive roles. We would aim to build a mon that can take hits while effectively hitting back. This approach wants to capitalize on the defensive elements we have established (Stamina and Poison/Flying) while not sacrificing on an offensive presence. With access to strong Flying STAB options in either Brave Bird or Hurricane, this route is capable of producing an effective tank.
Wall:
With this role, we would want to design with the idea of consistency in mind. 30b would be designed to reliably take attacks throughout the battle through a combination of its typing and stats. Stamina enables 30b to rapidly change the Pokémon it can wall as it continues to take hits. Lastly, the inability for 30b to be poisoned makes sitting in front of Pokémon a promising option.

- Only one option per line.
