Quilladin

Quilladin's high Defense stat coupled with Eviolite and its access to reliable recovery in Synthesis allows it to reliably set up Spikes on many physical attackers in the tier, such as Golem, Mightyena, and Sawsbuck. While it competes with other, bulkier Grass-types for a team slot, Quilladin can be used over Tangela for its access to Spikes and over Roselia for its better physical bulk and resistance to Ground-type moves. Additionally, Quilladin's unique ability, Bulletproof, gives it an immunity to bomb- and ball-based attacks such as Sludge Bomb, Focus Blast, and Shadow Ball, meaning Pokemon like Roselia that are reliant on these moves can be used as setup fodder for it to lay Spikes. Alternatively, Quilladin can forgo a defensive spread in favor of a more offensive one so that it can take advantage of its access to Taunt in order to prevent slower Pokemon such as Probopass and Roselia from laying their entry hazards or prevent Defoggers like Vullaby and Vibrava from removing its Spikes. On the downside, however, Quilladin has low Special Defense, which can easily be exploited by faster special attackers with super effective coverage, such as Rotom-F and Simisear. What's more, Quilladin is reliant on its Eviolite in order to tank hits, meaning it is liable to be crippled by Knock Off from Pokemon like Krokorok and Pawniard. Despite these flaws, Quilladin is still overall an advantageous choice as a Spikes setter and excels on both balanced and offensive team archetypes as either a Taunt lead or a physically defensive wall.
