Although it suffers competition from Gothita as a trapper, Trapinch is one of LC's best Pokemon thanks to its decent bulk, good coverage, and sky-high Attack stat. Stone Edge gives Trapinch EdgeQuake coverage and allows it to hit Pokemon like Vullaby and Gastly. Trapinch's third moveslot is very flexible; Crunch is generally preferred, enabling it to hit foes like Gastly for super effective damage. Feint allows Trapinch to have another priority option on top of First Impression, allowing it to reliably revenge kill foes that run Protect like Shellder. Finally, Stealth Rock gives Trapinch utility, allowing it to support its own team. First Impression gives Trapinch the ability to revenge kill Pokemon like Gothita, Hisuian Voltorb, and Toedscool. Tera Bug gives Trapinch a useful boost to First Impression, although it does give it an unfavorable weakness to Stealth Rock. Tera Rock is also an option, as it boosts Stone Edge, provides a useful resistance to Fire- and Flying-type attacks, and helps beat Pokemon like Hisuian Growlithe and Vullaby. The given EV spread allows Trapinch to outspeed and reliably trap Snubbull and Foongus.

Trapinch's ability to reliably take on and trap a variety of threats like Hisuian Growlithe, Stunky, and Pawniard enables teammates like Vullaby and Doduo, which struggle against these Pokemon. Trapinch is particularly excellent against Steel-types like Pawniard, Tinkatink, and Alolan Diglett; therefore, Pokemon that enjoy having these foes removed like Foongus, Minccino, and Gastly make good partners. VoltTurn support from Pokemon like Mienfoo, Vullaby, and Hisuian Voltorb can give Trapinch a safe opportunity to switch in and trap a threat.

Although it suffers competition as a trapper from Gothita, Trapinch is one of SV LC most stellar Pokemon thanks to its decent bulk, good coverage, and a sky high Attack Stat. Stone Edge gives Trapinch EdgeQuake coverage and allows it to hit Pokemon like Vullaby and Larvesta. Trapinch's third moveslot is very flexible; Crunch is generally preferred enabling it to hit foes like Gastly for super-effective damage. Feint allows Trapinch to have alternative priority instead of First Impression allowing it to reliably revenge kill foes who run Protect like Shellder. Finally, Stealth Rock gives Trapinch ultility utility allowing it to support its own team. First Impression gives Trapinch the ability to revenge kill threats Pokemon like Gothita, Hisuian Voltorb, and Grookey Toedscool (reworded threats to pokemon since i think toedscool is a more relevant mention than grookey and it isnt rly a threat). Tera Bug gives Trapinch a useful boost to First Impression, although it does give it an unfavorable weakness to Stealth Rock. Tera Rock is an also an option instead, boosting Stone Edge and providing a useful resistance to Fire- and Flying-type attacks, helping beat Pokemon like Hisuian Growlithe and Vullaby. The given EV spread allows Trapinch to outspeed and reliably trap Snubbull.

Trapinch's ability to reliably take on and trap a variety of threats like Hisuian Growlithe, Stunky, and Pawniard enables teammates like Vullaby and Snubbull(i kinda get this mention, but i think a mon like doduo fits more since its supposed to enable more offensive mons imo) Doduo who struggle against these Pokemon. Trapinch is particularly excellent against Steel-types like the beforementioned (this felt a little misleading because only pawn was mentioned beforehand) Pawniard, Tinkatink, and Alolan Diglett; Pokemon who enjoy having these Pokemon removed like Foongus, Mincinno, and Shellder(i feel a little eh on this mention but couldnt think of a better one in the moment. qc2 might find a better one) therefore make good partners. VoltTurn from Pokemon like Mienfoo, Vullaby, and Hisuian Voltorb can give Trapinch a safe oppertunity to switch in and trap a threat.

Stone Edge gives Trapinch EdgeQuake coverage and allows it to hit Pokemon like Vullaby and Larvesta larvesta is such a non existent pokemon rn and it burns pinch/uturns out so id rather mention other flyings like doduo or even gastly here. Trapinch's third moveslot is very flexible; Crunch is generally preferred enabling it to hit foes like Gastly for super-effective damage. Feint allows Trapinch to have alternative priority instead of First Impression allowing it to reliably revenge kill foes who run Protect like Shellder.

VoltTurn from Pokemon like Mienfoo, Vullaby, and Hisuian Voltorb can give Trapinch a safe oppertunity to switch in and trap a threat.
