Amoonguss @ Rocky Helmet
Name: Mixed Wall (Grass)

[SET COMMENTS]
Amoonguss is a good defensive stopgap on Grass teams thanks to its good natural bulk, reliable recovery methods in Synthesis and Regenerator, and great typing allowing it to take Fairy- and Poison-type attacks from the likes of Choice Specs Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, and Sneasler. Foul Play is a great option in order to hit threats like Swords Dance Scizor and Dragon Dance Dragapult, which may try to take advantage of Amoonguss's passive playstyle. Sludge Bomb hits the aforementioned Fairy-types, as well as threatening Grass-types like Hisuian Lilligant and Hydrapple. Spore lets Amoonguss facilitate dangerous setup sweeper teammates, like Nasty Plot Hydrapple, Victory Dance Hisuian Lilligant, and Swords Dance Ogerpon-H. The given EV spread lets Amoonguss survive one Ice Beam from Choice Specs Greninja from full health and retaliate by putting it to sleep.

Spore benefits all of Amoonguss's teammates in terms of giving them free turns to attack or set up. Hydrapple is a great teammate for Amoonguss thanks to its natural defensive synergy—it can take on Fire-type attacks from the likes of Gouging Fire and retaliate with Fickle Beam, while Amoonguss can take problematic Fairy-type attacks from the likes of Iron Valiant and Enamorus for Hydrapple. They also form a Regenerator core, allowing them to keep each other healthy by switching into threats that the other cannot deal with. Swords Dance Ogerpon-H crushes troublesome Ice- and Steel-types like Articuno, Mamoswine, and Gholdengo that can take advantage of Amoonguss. Hisuian Lilligant is another threatening setup sweeper that hits Ice- and Steel-types like Kyurem, Heatran, and Archaludon incredibly hard, as well as hitting Gliscor, which Amoonguss struggles to make progress against, with Ice Spinner. Breloom is another Fighting-type that can use Swords Dance to break holes in the opposing team, with Mach Punch to hit Dark-types like Greninja and Kingambit. In exchange, Amoonguss removes Enamorus for both Breloom and Hisuian Lilligant while freeing both up to run more useful coverage moves, like Rock Tomb for Breloom and Ice Spinner for Hisuian Lilligant, over their respective sleep-inducing moves. Meowscarada can remove items, mainly Leftovers, in order to let Amoonguss more effectively outlast other bulky cores. It also punishes Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon that try to take advantage of Amoonguss, like Hoopa-U, Deoxys-S, and Dragapult, with Knock Off and U-turn. Sinistcha is a great answer to Iron Defense + Body Press Zamazenta, which can use Amoonguss as a setup opportunity. It also does very well against passive Pokemon that can engage Amoonguss in a stalemate, like Toxapex or Clodsire. Brambleghast removes entry hazards with Rapid Spin while setting its own with Spikes. It also hits troubling Psychic- and Ghost-types like Galarian Slowking and Flutter Mane with Poltergeist and Shadow Sneak. Wind Rider also allows it to be an effective stop to Zapdos's and Tornadus-T's Hurricane, letting it potentially take these two out. Ogerpon-C is another dangerous Swords Dance sweeper that effectively threatens Flying- and Fire-types like Articuno, Volcarona, Dragonite, and Gouging Fire at +2.

[OTHER OPTIONS]
Stun Spore can be run over Spore in order to slow down foes like Meowscarada to a point where they can be picked off by Ogerpon-H while keeping the ability to put foes to sleep through teammates' sleep-inducing moves, but the noticeable comparative lack of setup opportunities is usually not worth it. Clear Smog helps neutralize setup threats like opposing Breloom and Calm Mind Ursaluna-B. Red Card allows Amoonguss to phase out threatening sweepers like the ones mentioned above in order to deny them sweeping attempts.

Foul Play is a great option in order to hit threats like Swords Dance Scizor and Dragon Dance Dragapult which may try to take advantage of Amoonguss's passive playstyle passitivity. Sludge Bomb hits the aforementioned Fairy-types, as well as threatening Grass-types like Lilligant-H and Hydrapple. Spore lets Amoonguss facilitate its dangerous setup sweeper teammates, like Nasty Plot Hydrapple, Victory Dance Lilligant-H, and Swords Dance Ogerpon-H.

Hydrapple is a great teammate for Amoonguss thanks to its natural defensive synergy - it can take on Fire-type attacks from the likes of Gouging Fire and retaliate with Fickle Beam, while Amoonguss can take problematic Fairy-type attacks from the likes of Iron Valiant and Enamorus for Hydrapple. They also form a Regenerator core, allowing them to keep each other healthy by switching into threats the other cannot deal with. Additionally, Hydrapple appreciates being enabled to set up Nasty Plot and sweep thanks to Amoonguss putting opponents to sleep with Spore.
Ogerpon-H crushes troublesome Ice- and Steel-types like Articuno and Gholdengo that can take advantage of Amoonguss, while in return turn receiving opportunities to set up Swords Dance and become incredibly dangerous thanks to Spore. Lilligant-H is another threatening setup sweeper that hits Ice- and Steel-types like Kyurem and Archaludon incredibly hard, as well as hitting Gliscor with Ice Spinner, which Amoonguss struggles to make progress against, with Ice Spinner. Breloom is another Fighting-type that can use Swords Dance to break holes in the opposing team, with Mach Punch to hit Dark-types like Greninja. Meowscarada can remove items, mainly Leftovers Heavy-Duty Boots, in order to let Amoonguss more effectively outlast other bulky cores on types such as Flying and Water. (Not having a hard time with Water and Flying Amoonguss not benefiting from it. Meowscarada also handles psychic, and ghost types as well as pivoting amoonguss in with U-turn.) Sinistcha can also be a setup sweeper with Calm Mind, so it appreciates opportunities to set up thanks to Amoonguss's Spore; in return, it provides a pseudo-Fire neutrality thanks to Heatproof, and when coupled with its naturally great bulk, lets it take on some Fire-types like Volcanion. It is also a great answer to Iron Defense + Body Press IDBP Zamazenta, which can use Amoonguss as a setup opportunity. Brambleghast removes hazards with Rapid Spin, while setting its own with Spikes. It also hits troubling Psychic- and Ghost-types like Galarian Slowking Hoopa-U (Bramble does not want to be dealing with Hoopa-u, we'll let meow handle that.) and Flutter Mane with Poltergeist and Shadow Sneak. Wind Rider also allows it to be an effective stop to Zapdos' and Tornadus-T's Hurricane, letting it potentially take these two on one-on-one. Abomasnow is the best answer Grass teams have to Chien-Pao thanks to Snow boosting Abomasnow's defense, its Ice neutrality, and it being able to set up Aurora Veil. (Repetitvely mentioning spore is just making the paragraph a big fluff. Every teammate benefits from Spore, you dont have to keep mentioning it otherwise it makes it seems like the team can only function due to spore. Instead you can either start off the second paragraph or end of the paragraph saying all of amoonguss teammates appreciates amoonguss to put foes to sleep with Spore. So just remove all mentions of it and just focus on what the teammates do for Amoonguss + what amoonguss do for them in return.)
  • Add Ogerpon-C, good for flying, fire match up

Amoonguss is a good defensive stopgap on Grass teams thanks to its good natural bulk, great typing allowing it to take Fairy- and Poison-type attacks from the likes of Choice Specs Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, and Sneasler, and reliable recovery methods in Synthesis and Regenerator. Amoonguss is a good defensive stopgap on Grass teams thanks to its good natural bulk, reliable recovery methods in Synthesis and Regenerator, and great typing allowing it to take Fairy- and Poison-type attacks from the likes of Choice Specs Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, and Sneasler. all these qualities allow it to take those attacks anyway, so id rather the longest clause be at the back Foul Play is a great option in order to hit threats like Swords Dance Scizor and Dragon Dance Dragapult, (AC) which may try to take advantage of Amoonguss's passive playstyle. Sludge Bomb hits the aforementioned Fairy-types, as well as threatening Grass-types like Hisuian Lilligant and Hydrapple. Spore lets Amoonguss facilitate its technically not a guarantee ull have them although ur dumb if you dont dangerous setup sweeper teammates, like Nasty Plot Hydrapple, Victory Dance Hisuian Lilligant, and Swords Dance Ogerpon-H. The given EV spread lets Amoonguss survive one Ice Beam from Choice Specs Greninja from full health and retaliate by putting it to sleep.

Spore benefits all of Amoonguss's teammates in terms of giving them free turns to attack or set up. Hydrapple is a great teammate for Amoonguss thanks to its natural defensive synergy - it synergy&mdash;it trust me on this one can take on Fire-type attacks from the likes of Gouging Fire and retaliate with Fickle Beam, while Amoonguss can take problematic Fairy-type attacks from the likes of Iron Valiant and Enamorus for Hydrapple. They also form a Regenerator core, allowing them to keep each other healthy by switching into threats that the other cannot deal with. Swords Dance Ogerpon-H crushes troublesome Ice- and Steel-types like Articuno, Mamoswine, and Gholdengo that can take advantage of Amoonguss. Hisuian Lilligant is another threatening setup sweeper that hits Ice- and Steel-types like Kyurem, Heatran, and Archaludon incredibly hard, as well as hitting Gliscor, which Amoonguss struggles to make progress against, with Ice Spinner. Breloom is another Fighting-type that can use Swords Dance to break holes in the opposing team, with Mach Punch to hit Dark-types like Greninja and Kingambit. In exchange, Amoonguss removes Enamorus for both Breloom and Hisuian Lilligant, (RC) while freeing both up to run more useful coverage moves, like Rock Tomb for Breloom or and Ice Spinner for Hisuian Lilligant, over their respective sleep-inducing moves. Meowscarada can remove items, mainly Leftovers, in order to let Amoonguss more effectively outlast other bulky cores. It also punishes Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon that try to take advantage of Amoonguss, like Hoopa-U, Deoxys-S <= honestly why is this thing allowed lol, and Dragapult, with Knock Off and U-turn. Sinistcha is a great answer to Iron Defense + Body Press Zamazenta, which can use Amoonguss as a setup opportunity. It also does very well against passive Pokemon that can engage Amoonguss in a stalemate, like Toxapex or Clodsire. Brambleghast removes entry hazards with Rapid Spin while setting its own with Spikes. It also hits troubling Psychic- and Ghost-types like Galarian Slowking and Flutter Mane with Poltergeist and Shadow Sneak. Wind Rider also allows it to be an effective stop to Zapdos's and Tornadus-T's Hurricane, letting it potentially take these two out. Ogerpon-C is another dangerous Swords Dance sweeper that effectively threatens Flying- and Fire-types like Articuno, Volcarona, Dragonite, and Gouging Fire at +2. curious - how come in mono the teammates section is SO long? i see this all the time on mono

[OTHER OPTIONS]
Stun Spore can be run over Spore in order to slow down foes like Meowscarada to a point where they can be picked off by Ogerpon-H while keeping the ability to put foes to sleep through teammates' sleep-inducing moves, but the noticeable comparative lack of setup opportunities is usually not worth it. Clear Smog helps neutralize set-up setup threats like opposing Breloom and Calm Mind Ursaluna-BM. Red Card allows Amoonguss to phase out threatening sweepers like the ones mentioned above in order to answer them in the future. <= procrastination at its finest
(remove linebreak.. probably. idk how mono is formatted)
