This set takes advantage of Sobble's access to both Reflect and Light Screen combined with its decent Speed stat to support its team. Light Clay is the preferred item due to extending the duration of dual screens, though Eviolite can be used as well to make setting them a little easier. U-turn allows Sobble to bring in a teammate, ideally a sweeper after setting dual screens, while Surf works as a decently strong STAB move in a pinch. The EVs are used to boost Sobble's Speed and bulk to give it an easier time to set dual screens. Keep in mind that Sobble isn't particularly bulky, so avoid switching it into powerful attacks, and that relying on dual screens tactics is somewhat unreliable and matchup-dependent, which makes Sobble a mediocre pick.

Setup sweepers that can take advantage of dual screens support such as Scraggy, Corphish, and Nasty Plot Vullaby are ideal teammates for Sobble. Sobble struggles against Grass- and Electric-type Pokemon such as Oddish and Chinchou, which makes Ferroseed a useful teammate, as it can handle such threats. Using Cutiefly or Natu over Sobble as a dual screens setter should be considered, as the former is faster and the latter has a useful ability in Magic Bounce. Also, note that Memento users like Diglett and Cottonee can be more consistent in supporting setup sweepers.

What kind of a shitty Water-type doesn't even get Scald. Anyways.

Gonna say slash Eviolite after Light Clay. Light Clay should remain the primary item, but Eviolite does let it set up screens a little bit better and not fuss quite as much about getting knocked.

Sinistea isn't a viable setup sweeper with the loss of Shell Smash, go with Corphish or Shellder.

Add a credits section - format below.

i think this analysis is fine info-wise but you really need to emphasize the fact that sobble fucking sucks. like sure its the best aveil replacement but like.. what is that worth if its not a good replacement in the first place. you should add stuff like "however, keep in mind that teams relying on dual screens tactics are usually very unreliable and matchup dependent, which makes sobble a mediocre pick" or something similar
