Strategy Overview

Grimmsnarl is an effective wallbreaker thanks to its strong offensive typing and good coverage, allowing it to pressure many Pokemon in the tier. The STAB combination of Darkest Lariat and Play Rough hits most of the tier for significant damage, while the few that can survive such as Stakataka and Mudsdale have to be wary of coverage in Superpower and Power Whip. The main problems for Grimmsnarl lie in its mediocre Speed, bulk, and move power, all limiting its wallbreaking capabilities and entry points onto the field. Its low-Base Power moves make it prediction reliant to effectively wallbreak while still having trouble breaking through physical walls such as Mudsdale, Weezing, and Sylveon. Its typing also provides few resistances to supplement its already average defensive stats.
