Quiver Dance Frosmoth is an incredibly threatening setup sweeper thanks to its ability to do massive damage in matchups that Bug struggles with such as Flying and Dragon as well as find opportunities to set up on numerous special attackers like Choice Specs Iron Valiant and Spectrier thanks to Ice Scales. Substitute allows Frosmoth to take advantage of special attackers like those aforementioned as well as dodge status from Pokemon such as Galarian Weezing that cannot break Frosmoth's Substitute. Giga Drain allows Frosmoth to hit troublesome Water-types like Empoleon that can otherwise take it on while allowing it to run away with the Ground matchup by annihilating Quagsire and Mamoswine after a Quiver Dance boost. Ice Beam easily muscles past Ground-, Flying-, and Dragon-types like Gliscor, Dragonite, and Raging Bolt that otherwise pose problems for Bug teams. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Frosmoth to avoid its debilitating Stealth Rock weakness while giving it more opportunities to set up thanks to avoiding Toxic Spikes.

Kleavor is a great teammate for Frosmoth, as it takes care of Fire-types that trouble Frosmoth like Ogerpon-H, Skeledirge, and Gouging Fire as well as setting up entry hazards through Stone Axe to soften defensive checks to Frosmoth such as Heatran. In return, it appreciates Frosmoth taking advantage of revenge killing attempts from the likes of Choice Scarf Latias and Choice Scarf Iron Valiant to set up. Scizor ravages Rock- and Fairy-types that Frosmoth does not appreciate, like Garganacl, Iron Boulder, Flutter Mane, and Choice Band Iron Valiant, with its strong Bullet Punch. In return, it appreciates Frosmoth freezing checks to it like Quagsire and Skarmory. Volcarona melts Steel-types like Gholdengo and Corviknight that trouble Frosmoth, while Slither Wing takes out Heatran and Blissey, making both good teammates. Araquanid provides a pseudo-Fire resistance with Water Bubble and can deal with Fire-types like Heatran, Gouging Fire, and Volcarona. Forretress is a decent teammate, acting as a physically defensive sponge with a good typing as well as a great option in the hazard war, removing hazards with Rapid Spin while setting its own up with Spikes.

Quiver Dance Frosmoth is an incredibly threatening setup sweeper thanks to its ability to do massive damage in matchups that Bug struggles with, like Ground, (this is a bug favored matchup) such as Flying, and Dragon, as well as find opportunities to set up on numerous special attackers like Choice Specs Iron Valiant and Spectrier thanks to Ice Scales. Substitute allows Frosmoth to take advantage of special attackers like those aforementioned as well as dodge status from Pokemon such as the likes of Galarian Weezing that cannot break Frosmoth's Substitute. Giga Drain allows Frosmoth to hit troublesome Water-types like Empoleon that can otherwise take it on, while allowing it to run away with the Ground matchup by annihilating Quagsire, and Mamoswine after a Quiver Dance boost and Quagsire. Ice Beam annihilates easily muscles past Ground-, Flying-, and Dragon-types like Gliscor, Dragonite, and Raging Bolt that otherwise pose problems for Bug teams. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Frosmoth to avoid its debilitating Stealth Rock quadruple weakness, while giving it more opportunities to set up thanks to avoiding Toxic Spikes.

In return, it appreciates Frosmoth taking advantage of revenge killing attempts from the likes of Choice Scarf Latias and Choice Scarf Iron Valiant to set up.

Araquanid provides a pseudo-Fire resistance with Water Bubble and can deal with these Fire-types like Heatran, Gouging Fire and Volcarona. (add forretress as a physical sponge cuz bug teams always like rapid spin + hazard stack and the steel type, and just a good physical sponge in general is needed here which you dont really have. @ the gouging fire mention, i think araquanid is bugs literally only stopgap to it even if iron defense araquanid is the only set that beats it. its not super common but i think it will become more common and still worth mentioning even if not ID. whoever qc's this after though might remove it)

Looks really good! 1/2, and make sure to put that in the title as well
