Alolan Sandshrew finds a niche in LC as a hail sweeper due to the sheer power of Triple Axel, which lets it power through Pokemon like Mienfoo, Koffing, and Natu. Earthquake threatens Ice-resistant foes such as Mareanie, Ponyta, and Pawniard. With Rapid Spin and Swords Dance, Alolan Sandshrew can capitalize on setup opportunities and quickly snowball out of control. Wide Lens significantly improves Triple Axel's accuracy. Hail support from Snover or Amaura is necessary to facilitate a sweep. Trappers such as Wynaut and Diglett can help remove threats to hail teams; Wynaut deals with Timburr and its pesky Mach Punch, while Diglett can remove Mareanie and Fire-types like Ponyta and Vulpix.

Small nitpick on wording: saying "Hail support from Snover and Amaura" implies that hail teams should be using both mons, which they really shouldn't be doing. I'd change this to "Hail support from Snover or Amaura", but if GP has issues with this then it's fine. This is good otherwise. 1/1
