[OVERVIEW]
Swoobat's niche simply comes from its ability, Simple. Using Calm Mind, it can snowball through teams more quickly faster than other setup sweepers such as Sandaconda and Uxie can. After Grassy Seed activation and one Calm Mind, Stored Power 2HKOes Audino, and another Calm Mind sees Gigalith, the tier's best special wall, KOed after Stealth Rock. Thanks to Calm Mind's Special Defense boosts, faster special attackers like Whimsicott and Ribombee struggle to revenge kill it, although Whimsicott can bother Swoobat with Encore. With Heat Wave, set-up Swoobat can also tear through Steel-types like Ferroseed and Doublade, which are usually solid checks to Psychic-types. Another boon for Swoobat is its great Speed tier, which makes it harder for tier staples like Charizard and Archeops to revenge kill. However, it relies on Grassy Seed to be effective, restricting it to Grassy Terrain teams. Despite Grassy Seed activation giving Swoobat Defense and denying Knock Off's damage boost, its physical bulk is overall poor, with a weakness to Stealth Rock alongside common Dark- and Rock-type moves not helping it. Finally, Swoobat can't fit both Heat Wave and Substitute on the same set, which means either it relies on teammates to remove Steel-types so it can sweep, or it becomes unable to set up on more passive Pokemon like Audino without fearing Toxic.

[SET]
name: Simple Sweeper
move 1: Calm Mind
move 2: Roost
move 3: Stored Power
move 4: Substitute / Heat Wave
item: Grassy Seed
ability: Simple
nature: Timid
evs: 36 HP / 164 Def / 56 SpA / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Swoobat sets up Calm Mind most efficiently on slower defensive Pokemon that lack a status move, such as Sandslash and Eldegoss. Roost gives Swoobat reliable recovery, ensuring that random chip damage doesn't faze it, and lets it avoid super effective damage from slower Rock-types like Regirock and Aggron. Substitute protects Swoobat against common methods of incapacitating setup sweepers, like Trick + a Choice item or Toxic. Heat Wave targets Steel-types directly, OHKOing Togedemaru and Ferroseed after a Calm Mind. The given EV spread ensures a Gyro Ball from Ferroseed cannot break Swoobat's Substitute after Grassy Seed and it maximizes Speed for Lycanroc. Thwackey is absolutely mandatory on teams with Swoobat, as no other viable Pokemon can automatically set Grassy Terrain. On these Grassy Terrain teams, Grassy Seed + Unburden Thievul and Grassy Seed + Calm Mind Galarian Rapidash make great partners; both of them can also lure in Steel-types like Togedemaru and Aggron and remove them. Some entry hazard removers such as Coalossal can easily fit on Grassy Terrain teams and often remove Stealth Rock for Swoobat.

Swoobat's niche simply comes from its ability, Simple. Using a boosting move like Calm Mind, it can snowball faster than other setup sweepers such as Sandaconda and Uxie. Stored Power's damage output after a Calm Mind and Grassy Seed activation is enough to 2HKO Audino, and a Stored Power after 2 Calm Minds cleanly OHKOs Gigalith, the tier's best special wall, after Stealth Rock. mention how mons like Ribombee struggle to revenge With Heat Wave, it can also tear through Steel-types like Ferroseed and Doublade after a Calm Mind, which are usually solid checks to Psychic-types. Another boon for Swoobat is its great Speed tier, ensuring it cannot be revenge killed so easily after it has setup. However, it relies on Grassy Seed to be effective, restricting it to Grassy Terrain teams that use Thwackey, which is a poor choice on most teams. Despite Grassy Seed effectively giving Swoobat a Knock Off resistance when activating, its physical bulk is overall poor, with a weakness to Stealth Rock as well as common Dark- and Rock-type moves not helping it. Finally, Swoobat has trouble fitting can't fit both Heat Wave and Substitute on the same set, which means either making Swoobat more reliant on teammates to remove Steel-types so it can sweep, or being unable to setup on more passive Pokemon like Audino without fearing a Toxic.

Roost gives Swoobat reliable recovery, ensuring that random chip damage doesn't faze Swoobat, as well as letting Swoobat not take super-effective damage from slower Rock-types like Regirock and Aggron. Substitute gives Swoobat protection against common methods of removing setup sweepers, like Tricking a Choice item onto it or Toxic. Heat Wave targets Steel-types directly, OHKOing Togedemaru and Ferroseed after a Calm Mind. The given EV spread ensures a Gyro Ball from Ferroseed cannot break Swoobat's Substitute after Grassy Seed has been activated, maximizes its Speed for Lycanroc, and the rest is dumped into Special Attack. Thwackey is absolutely mandatory on teams with Swoobat, as no other viable Pokemon can set Grassy Terrian as effectively as Thwackey can. On more offensive teams, Thievul and Galarian Rapidash make great partners that also benefit from Grassy Terrian; both of them can also lure in Steel-types like Togedemaru and Aggron and remove them. On teams that use Swoobat as a win condition, entry hazard removers such as Charizard and Sandslash can help ensure that Swoobat does not take unnecessary damage from Stealth Rock when it has an opening. grassy terrain teams are always HO, if you want to include an offensive spinner that could work just don't suggest leaning into bulkier structures
include some more mentions of when you can setup beyond setting up sub on passive pokemon
