Thanks to its ability in Prankster, Grimmsnarl is one of the best dual screens users in UU, supporting setup sweepers in ways few others can. Taunt is an amazing move when used in conjunction with Prankster, as not only does Taunt prevent Grimmsnarl from being setup bait, but it also prevents entry hazards from being set up on your side of the field. Taunt also prevents Defoggers such as Galarian Weezing and Rotom-W from removing dual screens. Lastly, Spirit Break is a STAB move that hits decently hard thanks to Grimmsnarl's decent Attack stat and has the added benefit of reducing the target's Special Attack, helping Grimmsnarl's teammates set up. The given EV spread makes Grimmsnarl as specially bulky as possible so that it can check Pokemon like Noivern with ease while also outspeeding Klefki and Seismitoad.

This Grimmsnarl set should only be used on hyper offensive teams looking to overwhelm the opponent with powerful wallbreakers and setup sweepers. Cloyster fits this description perfectly, as dual screens provided by Grimmsnarl enable it plenty more opportunities to use Shell Smash and potentially sweep or wallbreak depending on the situation. Cloyster can also soften up walls such as Slowbro and Cobalion, giving Linoone for example a much easier time in cleaning up weakened teams. Terrakion and Swords Dance Incineroar also benefit from dual screens and share similar checks to Linoone and Cloyster, making them great wallbreaking teammates for these Pokemon. Lycanroc-D is an excellent wallbreaker that appreciates the added protection provided by dual screens, enabling it to nuke Dark-types such as Incineroar and Zarude for Pokemon such as Polteageist, which can otherwise struggle to break through them. Cobalion fits on dual screens teams very well, as its typing and bulk give great defensive utility while also providing Stealth Rock support.

Grimmsnarl is a unique Pokemon in many different ways. Thanks to its ability Prankster, Grimmsnarl is the best dual screens user in UU, supporting set up sweepers in ways no other Pokemon can idk about this wording, we definitely have other viable screens setters so it's not that it can support them in ways no other pokemon can, it's just that it's the best of them bc of its noivern matchup and prankster. Reflect is the first move on this set, reducing damage from physical attacks by 50% for eight turns. Light Screen protects Grimmsnarl and its team from powerful special attacks, reducing their damage by half also. explaining what a move does is not rly needed in this type of analysis Taunt is an amazing move when used in conjunction with Prankster, as not only does Taunt prevent Grimmsnarl from being set up bait, it also prevents entry hazards being set up on your side of the field. It also prevents Defog users like Galarian Weezing and Rotom-W from removing Grimmsnarl's screens. While Taunt is a fantastic move, you should be wary when facing Magic Bounce uses such as Xatu. If Grimmsnarl becomes Taunted it's pretty much forced to switch out, losing momentum. not rly relevant or necessary Lastly, Spirit Break is a form of STAB which hits decently hard thanks to Grimmsnarl's decent Attack stat. you should either mention that the spa drop on mons like roserade helps teammates set up, or not mention this move at all. you don't need to describe stab attacks EVs and a Jolly nature are used to make Grimmsnarl as fast and as bulky as possible, which comes in use when facing opposing Grimmsnarl. The given EV spread makes Grimmsnarl as specially bulky as possible so that it can check Pokemon like Noivern with ease, while also outspeeding Klefki and Seismitoad. Light Clay is the item of choice, extending the effects of Reflect and Light Screen from five turns to eight.

This Grimmsnarl should only be used on hyper offensive teams looking to overwhelm the opponent with powerful wall breakers and set up sweepers. When considering teammates for Grimmsnarl, the first Pokemon to consider are powerful set up sweepers that benefit greatly when protected by Reflect and Light Screen. this is kinda repetitive Cloyster fits this description perfectly, enabling Cloyster plenty more opportunities to use Shell Smash and wreck havoc. so that it can break what? what's cloyster take advantage of for teammates? it's great at weakening cobalion for teammates like linoone, for example Mimikyu fits perfectly on these teams, as thanks to its ability Disguise Mimilyu is almost guaranteed one Swords Dance. Defoggers can remove the protection of Light Screen and Reflect, so Bisharp is a fine choice to take advantage of opponents who plan to use Defog. these mons don't rlly fit on this type of hyper offense, they're more suited for stick web/spikes offenses Lycanroc-Dusk is an excellent sweeper, and appreciates the added protection provided by Dual Screens. yes lycanroc is a good mention but what does it do for these teams? what's it break? tie this in with breaking darks like incin and zarude for partners like polteageist (which i'll get to in a second) Lastly, while type synergy shouldn't be considered too much, Grimmsnarl is weak to Poison, Fairy, and Steel-types, meaning Pokemon that can switch into these types are beneficial. Because of this, Cobalion, Chandelure, Doublade, and Talonflame all make for good options that should be considered for teammates, as they can switch in on common attacks aimed at Grimmsnarl, while also benefiting from the support Grimmsnarl provides. you can give cobalion a mention here as a mon that can set up stealth rock for these teams and act as a check to mons that normally threaten them (lycanroc) with chople, but it's not really a type synergy thing.

you're going to need to add a significant amount of new teammates here bc the ones you described don't rly fit on screens for the most part. here's a quick list of mons i'd like to see you add:

Polteageist
Stealth Rock Cobalion
Terrakion
Swords Dance Incineroar
Linoone

you'll also need to explain what these mons do for teams (polteageist and linoone are great sweepers, terrakion and incineroar are great breakers that can mess up the likes of incineroar, doublade, rhyperior etc for other mons on the team, cobalion is a fast rocker with great defensive utility etc.)

I really appreciate all of the feedback, and have made the changes you suggested. I found writing the team mates section to be rather clunky, but I hope it's ok

If Grimmsnarl becomes Taunted it's pretty much forced to switch out, losing momentum.

think you just forgot to remove this, you don't need it anymore

enabling Lycanroc-Dusk to soften up Dark-types such as Incineroar and Zarude

it doesn't really soften them up, it just nukes them after a boost - it's just important to note that screens make it easier to actually set up an SD

everything else looks pretty solid to me now so once these things are done, consider this QC 1/2 :3 good work

Grimmsnarl is a unique Pokemon in many different ways. This line really doesn't say much. The line after this is a good enough OP about the Pokemon anyways.

Taunt is an amazing move when used in conjunction with Prankster, as not only does Taunt prevent Grimmsnarl from being set up bait, it also prevents entry hazards being set up on your side of the field.

Light Clay is the item of choice, extending the effects of Reflect and Light Screen from five turns to eight. This is fluff and something the reader should know.
