Foongus is one of the best walls in LC, being able to take on dangerous threats like Mienfoo, Diglett, and Grookey with its combination of decent bulk, amazing typing, and Spore. Spore cripples a non-Grass-type foe, preventing setup sweepers like Tyrunt from performing their role, and it gives Foongus's teammates a chance to switch in safely. Giga Drain and Synthesis provide recovery and both increase Foongus's longevity. Regenerator lets it pivot into opposing threats like Mienfoo and Mareanie repeatedly. The given EV spread denies Porygon from getting a Special Attack boost from Download.
Foongus forms a great defensive core with bulky Water-types such as Frillish and Staryu, as it checks physical threats like Grookey for them; in return, they check Fire-types like Ponyta and Vulpix. Frillish also checks the troublesome Natu. Mienfoo forms a great Regenerator core with Foongus, and it can eliminate annoying Steel-types like Pawniard and Ferroseed. Fire-types like Ponyta are also a solid choice for dealing with Steel-types. Natu and Trapinch are both reliable partners to deal with the troublesome Ferroseed; Natu punishes its entry hazards and status moves with Magic Bounce, while Trapinch can trap and eliminate it. Foongus struggles against Psychic-types like Abra, so Pawniard makes a great teammate for it. Pawniard in return benefits from Foongus's ability to deal with Fighting-types.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Foongus can run more Speed EVs to outspeed foes like Timburr and Mareanie while helping in the Foongus mirror. 124 HP EVs make it easier to deal with threats like Mudbray. Stun Spore and Clear Smog can be used as alternative move options, but they are extremely situational; Stun Spore cripples multiple foes, and Clear Smog prevents setup sweepers like Galarian Ponyta from setting up on Foongus.
Checks and Counters
===================
**Ferroseed**: Ferroseed is probably the most effective check against Foongus, as it resists Giga Drain and is immune to Sludge Bomb and Spore. It can easily switch into Foongus and start setting its entry hazards or remove Foongus's Eviolite with Knock Off. Ferroseed paired with Mienfoo can be very difficult for Foongus to make progress against.
**Other Steel-types**: Steel-types like Magnemite and Pawniard resist both of Foongus's listed attacks, and Pawniard also threatens it with Knock Off. However, none of them appreciate Spore.
**Natu**: Natu is a troublesome check to Foongus, as it is immune to Spore due to Magic Bounce and can hit Foongus with a super effective Psychic or Heat Wave. Cosmic Power and Calm Mind Natu can also set up on Foongus. However, Natu can be worn down by Sludge Bomb, and it doesn't appreciate getting poisoned by it.
**Koffing**: Koffing resists both Foongus's STAB moves, does a lot of damage in return, and wears down Foongus with Neutralizing Gas.
**Psychic-types**: Psychic-types such as Abra, Galarian Ponyta, and Psychic coverage from Staryu threaten Foongus, but they dislike Spore.
**Fire-types**: Fire-types such as Ponyta, Vulpix, and Charmander threaten Foongus offensively but have a difficult time switching into Spore and Sludge Bomb.
