Seismitoad

Ground

Seismitoad's Water / Ground typing and access to Water Absorb give it a neutrality to Ice and an immunity to Water-type attacks. This makes it incredibly valuable for any Ground-type team, letting it check threats such as Crawdaunt and Azumarill. Seismitoad is one of the few viable special attackers that Ground teams have access to. However, without a boosting item, its Special Attack is not that impressive. It has a decent movepool with access to solid coverage options in Sludge Wave, which lets it target Grass- and Fairy-types, and Grass Knot, allowing it to hit other Pokemon with access to Water Absorb. It has decent bulk and is a great Assault Vest user. Although its typing and ability let it tank Water- and Ice-type attacks, it also has a 4x weakness to Grass. Seismitoad faces competition as a Water-type check from Gastrodon, which has better bulk and access to reliable recovery; however, Seismitoad has better coverage options and a lot more Speed.
