RU Seismitoad

:ss/seismitoad:
Seismitoad @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 152 Def / 104 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic

Unlike Seismitoad's more offensive cousins in Croagunk and Toxicroak, this bumpy toad excels at being a wall in RU! The combination of its typing, decent defensive stats, and multiple utility moves allows Seismitoad to compress roles and differentiate itself from RU's other Ground-types. 104 Speed EVs let it outspeed Adamant Golurk and Speed tie with standard Suicune and Milotic. Knock Off cripples common switch-ins such as Togekiss, Noivern, and Celebi and makes progress, and Toxic makes it easier to pressure and break through Umbreon and Porygon2. Seismitoad finds itself on balance and bulky offense teams that value its stellar defensive typing and Water immunity. Roserade checks Grass-types and sets Spikes, while Seismitoad can check Steel- and Fire-types such as Metagross, Cobalion, and Volcanion for Roserade. As Seismitoad lacks any recovery besides Leftovers and is easily worn down by entry hazards, Defoggers like Crobat and Galarian Weezing make for good partners. Additionally, Galarian Weezing can act as a secondary check to Ground-types thanks to Levitate and take pressure off Seismitoad.

Unlike Seismitoad's more offensively-inclined offensive cousins in the Croagunk line and Toxicroak, this bumpy toad excels in at being a wall in RU! The combination of a Water/Ground its typing, decent defensive stats, and multiple utility moves all lend themselves to Seismitoad's ability allows Seismitoad to compress roles and differentiate itself from RU's other Ground-types. 104 Speed EVs lets Seismitoad let it outspeed Adamant Golurk,(RC) as well as speedtie and Speed tie with standard Suicune and Milotic. Knock Off is Seismitoad's best way of making progress and cripples common switch-ins to it, such as Togekiss, Noivern, and Celebi. Toxic poisons Pokemon like Umbreon and Porygon2, making them easier to pressure and break through later on in a match.

Roserade checks Grass-types and can apply Spikes in conjunction with Seismitoad's Stealth Rock sets Spikes, while Seismitoad can check Steel- and Fire-types such as Metagross, Cobalion, and Volcanion for Roserade. As Seismitoad lacks any recovery besides Leftovers and is easily worn down by continuously switching into entry hazards, Defog users Defoggers like Crobat and Galarian Weezing make for good partners to the toad. Additionally, Galarian Weezing can act as a secondary check to Ground-types thanks to Levitate,(RC) thus taking off pressure from Seismitoad if it is needed to check any other threats during a match and take pressure off Seismitoad.
GP 1/1. 1200 characters is a lot over the character limit so I trimmed it down.
