Galarian Stunfisk functions as a great Stealth Rock user in NU. Its great HP stat paired up with its decent defensive stats and incredible typing makes it a great check to common threats such as Togedemaru, Rotom-F, and Indeedee-F. Yawn lets Galarian Stunfisk pressure Pokemon that would like to switch in such as Eldegoss, Wishiwashi, and Piloswine, forcing them to switch out again or to sleep. Stone Edge hits common Defoggers such as Rotom-S and Rotom-F hard. Snap Trap is an alternative to Stone Edge; when paired with Yawn, it can force a foe to sleep or, when used alongside Protect, can be used to rack up chip damage. It also lets Galarian Stunfisk severely cripple Rotom-S, as it's unable to do anything once trapped. Thunder Wave can be used over Yawn to cripple setup sweepers such as Alcremie and Cofagrigus. An alternative EV spread of 252 HP / 64 Atk / 192 SpD can be used to OHKO Toxicroak with Earthquake after Life Orb recoil.

Galarian Stunfisk usually belongs on non-offensive teams because they most appreciate its blend of utility and defensive presence. Galarian Stunfisk's passivity invites in the other predominant Stealth Rock users in Piloswine and Sandaconda, so Water-types such as Wishiwashi and Silvally-Water are great partners, being able to take these Ground-types out while also checking Fire-type Pokemon like Silvally-Fire and Rapidash. Grass-types such as Eldegoss and Abomasnow can also pressure these Ground-types and are able to switch into Water-type attacks directed at Galarian Stunfisk. Poison-type Pokemon like Garbodor and Toxicroak can check Fighting-type Pokemon such as opposing Toxicroak and Sawk while appreciating Galarian Stunfisk's ability to take out opposing Poison-type Pokemon. They also punish the most common spinner Eldegoss, a Pokemon that fully counters Galarian Stunfisk. Fairy-type Pokemon such as Alcremie and Clefairy also check Fighting-type Pokemon, with Clefairy also absorbing status from moves like Will-O-Wisp and being able to pass Wishes to Galarian Stunfisk.

Stunfisk-Galar functions as a great Stealth Rock user in the NU metagame. Its great HP stat, paired up with its decent defensive stats and incredible typing makes Stunfisk-Galar a great check to common threats such as Togedemaru, Rotom-Frost and Indeedee-f. Stone Edge allows Stunfisk-Galar to muscle through common Defog users such as Rotom-Fan, Rotom-Frost and Drifblim. Yawn lets Stunfisk-Galar to pressure pokemon that would like to switch in such as Eldegoss, Wishiwashi and Piloswine, forcing them to switch out again or to sleep. Snap Trap can guarantee a sleep with Yawn; its seen enough play, esp in tours, to get a mention, if not a full slash. Thunder Wave can cripple setup sweepers such as Alcremie, etc. 64 attack can be run to KO Toxicroak after one round of Life Orb Recoil.

However Stunfisk-Galar's mediocre Attack stat invites the most prominent Stealth Rock users in the metagame such as Piloswine and Sandaconda. Water-types such as Wishiwashi and Silvally-Water are great partners to it, being able to take these Ground-types out while also checking Fire-type pokemon like Silvally-Fire and Rapidash. Grass-types such as Eldegoss and Abomasnow are another great example of Pokemon that can pressure these Ground-types. These Grass-type pokemon are able to switch in Water-type attacks directed to Stunfisk-Galar that might threaten it. Poison-type pokemon like Garbodor and Toxicroak can check Fighting-type pokemon such as opposing Toxicroak's and Sawk while appreciating Stunfisk-Galar's ability to take out opposing Poison-Type pokemon. These Poison-type pokemon also punish the most common Rapid-Spin user Eldegoss, pokemon that fully counters Stunfisk-Galar. Ghost-Type pokemon like Cofagrigus and Gourgeist-Small prevents the removal of Stealth Rocks from Rapid Spin users while also countering Fighting-Type Pokemon. Mention Clefairy; its able to take on some fighting types, ghost types, and just forms a solid defensive core, even if the two together are ultrapassive.

Stone Edge allows Stunfisk-Galar to muscle through common Defog users such as Rotom-Fan, Rotom-Frost and Drifblim (Rotom-S just burns you, and Drifblim is very uncommon. I'd reword to say it lets it hit them hard.). Yawn lets Stunfisk-Galar to pressure pokemon that would like to switch in such as Eldegoss, Wishiwashi and Piloswine, forcing them to switch out again or to sleep. Snap Trap can be utilized over Stone Edge or Protect to guarantee a sleep. (So for Snap Trap, I'd like for you to say it can be used alongside either Yawn or Protect. Being able to just wrack up chip damage with Protect is a pretty nice option, and of course Snap Trap forces a sleep with Yawn. I'd also talk about how Snap Trap lets Galarian Stunfisk severely cripple Rotom-S because it can't do anything once you trap it.) Thunder Wave can be used to cripple set up sweepers such as Alcremie or Cofagrigus. (Specify that it's an alternative to Yawn.) An alternative EV spread of 252 HP / 64 Atk / 192 SpD can be used to OHKO Toxicroak after Life Orb recoil.

<a brief sentence about the types of builds this Pokemon goes> However Stunfisk-Galar's mediocre Attack stat invites the most predominants Stealth Rock users in the metagame such as Piloswine and Sandaconda. Water-types such as Wishiwashi and Silvally-Water are great partners to it, being able to take these Ground-types out while also checking Fire-type pokemon like Silvally-Fire and Rapidash.

Ghost-Type pokemon like Cofagrigus and Gourgeist-Small prevents the removal of Stealth Rocks from Rapid Spin users while also countering Fighting-Type Pokemon. (There's only one common spinner in the tier, and it beats Cofagrigus a good amount of the time. Plus, you've already mentioned the need for Fighting-type checks, so I think you can just drop this sentence.) Fairy-type pokemon such as Alcremie and Clefairy also check Fighting-type pokemon while also being able to absorb status from moves like Will-O-Wisp. Clefairy is an especially good partner since it can pass wishes to Stunfisk-Galar.

before you put this into gp, make sure you check the standards thread and fix all the very bad offenders (not capitalizing the word "Pokemon", using the wrong name to refer to a Pokemon (Rotom-S, not Rotom-Fan, for example)). qc 2/2 once done
