Competitive Strategy
Grimmsnarl is a premier support and bulky attacker. Prankster gives priority to Thunder Wave, Taunt, and Light Screen/Reflect, letting it disrupt opponents before they act. Max Attack (120) with Spirit Break and Foul Play lets it hit hard, while solid bulk and a Dark/Fairy typing (immune to Psychic and Dragon) make it a sturdy switch-in. Swords Dance sets can sweep weakened teams, and Parting Shot pivots out while lowering the foe's stats. Its weaknesses are Poison, Steel, and Fairy, so bring Steel- or Fairy-resistant partners to cover those matchups.
