Mudsdale

Mudsdale is a great defensive Stealth Rock setter, using its solid bulk, Stamina, and Ground typing to keep massive threats such as Aggron, Lycanroc, Kangaskhan, Scyther, and Stoutland in check. Because of Mudsdale's high Attack and powerful STAB Earthquake, it has decent offensive presence and is far less passive than other defensive Stealth Rock setters like Regirock and Clefairy are. Mudsdale's usable coverage options and previously mentioned high Attack also allow it to function as a decent wallbreaker with Choice Band. However, Mudsdale suffers from a low Speed of 35, meaning that it will likely take damage before it can use an attack. Its excellent Ground typing also comes with weaknesses to common types such as Water, Grass, and Ice. Mudsdale lacks recovery outside of Rest and recovery items in Leftovers and Figy Berry, meaning that despite its good bulk and ability, it is prone to getting worn down by repeated attacks, status, and entry hazards. Finally, with an overall shallow movepool, Mudsdale is also fairly predictable and is considered a mediocre wallbreaker despite its high Attack, as all of its moves can easily be played around.
