Great special bulk and immunity to Electric-type moves make Clodsire a good wall and a solid check to Miraidon and Walking Wake. A combination of Toxic + Earthquake ensures that offensive threats like Koraidon and Chien-Pao and walls like Ting-Lu and Great Tusk cannot switch into Clodsire for free. Clodsire also acts as a good entry hazard setter, as it has access to Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Toxic Spikes. Alternatively, Counter can be used to eliminate defensive Great Tusk, Choice Scarf Koraidon Choice locked into Dragon Claw, and Chien-Pao Choice locked into Crunch. Water Absorb is preferred, as it makes Clodsire immune to Hydro Pump from Iron Bundle and Water-type STAB moves from Walking Wake while also making it so it doesn't ignore the Special Attack drop from Miraidon's Draco Meteor, which Unaware doesn't allow. With Tera Steel and Water Absorb, Clodsire acts as a good Iron Bundle and Walking Wake check while taking Draco Meteor from Miraidon, Psyshock from Flutter Mane, and Ice-type STAB moves from Chien-Pao better. Alternatively, Tera Fire can be used to retain the Ice resistance while also gaining a resistance to Chi-Yu's nuclear Fire-type moves. 32 Defense EVs let Clodsire survive Earthquake from bulky Great Tusk. Great Tusk, Chien-Pao, and Koraidon force Clodsire out, so physically defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Corviknight, and Dondozo are good teammates. Gholdengo and Annihilape are also good teammates, as they can block hazard removal attempts from Corviknight, which otherwise can easily remove hazards against Clodsire. Clodsire can't deal with Choice Specs Miraidon properly, so faster Pokemon such as Iron Bundle and Choice Scarf users such as Tera Fairy Dugtrio and Koraidon are good teammates.

High special bulk and immunity from Electric-type moves make Clodsire a good wall and a solid check to Miraidon. Toxic and Earthquake make Clodsire less passive, with Toxic in particular having the ability to cripple Pokemon such as Ting-Lu and Great Tusk that can switch into it. A combination of Toxic + Earthquake ensures that offensive threats like Koraidon and Chien-Pao and defensive walls like Ting-Lu and Great Tusk cannot switch into Clodsire for free. Clodsire also acts as a good entry hazard setter as it has access to Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Toxic Spikes. Alternatively, Counter can also be used instead as Clodsire can tank Earthquake from defensive Great Tusk due to 32 Defense EVs and eliminate it be used to survive a hit and eliminate defensive Great Tusk, Choice Scarf from Dragon Claw Koraidon, and Crunch from Chien-Pao in a pinch. Water Absorb is preferred as the ability as Clodsire tanks Hydro Pump from Iron Bundle and Draco Meteor from Miraidon, which Unaware doesnt allow as Clodsire ignores Special Attack drop that accompanies Draco Meteor. Unaware, however, lets Clodsire deal with Calm Mind Miraidon and Flutter Mane better. With Tera Steel, Clodsire acts as a good Iron Bundle check together with Water Absorb and takes Draco Meteor from Miraidon better. <explain EVs>. Great Tusk, Chien-Pao, and Koraidon force Clodsire out so physically defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Corviknight, and Dondozo are good teammates. Gholdengo and Annihilape are good teammates as they can is also a good teammate as it can block hazard removal attempts from Corviknight, which otherwise can easily remove hazards against Clodsire. Clodsire can't deal with Choice Specs Miraidon properly so another defensive presence such as Iron Treads or Ting-Lu can be useful.

Clodsire can't deal with Choice Specs Miraidon properly so another defensive presence such as Iron Treads or Ting-Lu can be useful -you should just advice speed control or a Tera Fairy Goth / Duggy instead of a backup check to Miraidon, since it's pretty awkward to fit it next to Ting-Lu / Iron Treads-.

High Great special bulk and immunity from to Electric-type moves make Clodsire a good wall and a solid check to Miraidon and Walking Wake. A combination of Toxic + Earthquake ensures that offensive threats like Koraidon and Chien-Pao and defensive (all walls are defensive) walls like Ting-Lu and Great Tusk cannot switch into Clodsire for free. Clodsire also acts as a good entry hazard setter,(AC) as it has access to Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Toxic Spikes. Alternatively, Counter can also be used to survive a hit and eliminate defensive Great Tusk, Dragon Claw from Choice Scarf Koraidon, and Crunch from Chien-Pao in a pinch. Alternatively, Counter can be used to eliminate defensive Great Tusk, Choice Scarf Koraidon Choice locked into Dragon Claw, and Chien-Pao Choice locked into Crunch. (i assume pao is also locked??) Water Absorb is preferred,(AC) as the ability as Clodsire tanks it makes Clodsire immune to Hydro Pump from Iron Bundle,(RC) and Water-type STAB moves from Walking Wake, (RC) and while also making it so it doesn't ignore the Special Attack drop from Miraidon's Draco Meteor from Miraidon, which Unaware doesn'(AP)t allow as Clodsire ignores Special Attack drop that accompanies Draco Meteor. With Tera Steel and Water Absorb, Clodsire acts as a good Iron Bundle and Walking Wake check together with Water Absorb and takes while taking Draco Meteor from Miraidon, Psyshock from Flutter Mane, and Ice-type STAB moves from Chien-Pao better. Alternatively, Tera Fire can be used to retain the Ice resistance to Ice STAB from Iron Bundle and Chien-Pao,(RC) while also gaining a resistance to Chi-Yu's nuclear Fire-type moves. 32 Defense EVs let Clodsire survive Earthquake from bulky Great Tusk. Great Tusk, Chien-Pao, and Koraidon force Clodsire out,(AC) so physically defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Corviknight, and Dondozo are good teammates. Gholdengo and Annihilape are also (for continuity purposes) good teammates,(AC) as they can block hazard removal attempts from Corviknight, which otherwise can easily remove hazards against Clodsire. Clodsire can't deal with Choice Specs Miraidon properly,(AC) so backup in speed control faster ("speed control" is a term reserved for doubles and moves like tailwind) Pokemon such as Iron Bundle and Choice Scarf users such as Tera Fairy Dugtrio and Koraidon are good teammates.
