Great special bulk and immunity to Electric-type moves make Clodsire a good wall and a solid check to Miraidon and Walking Wake. A combination of Toxic + Earthquake ensures that offensive threats like Koraidon and Chien-Pao and walls like Ting-Lu and Great Tusk cannot switch into Clodsire for free. Clodsire also acts as a good entry hazard setter, as it has access to Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Toxic Spikes. Alternatively, Counter can be used to eliminate defensive Great Tusk, Choice Scarf Koraidon Choice locked into Dragon Claw, and Chien-Pao Choice locked into Crunch. Water Absorb is preferred, as it makes Clodsire immune to Hydro Pump from Iron Bundle and Water-type STAB moves from Walking Wake while also making it so it doesn't ignore the Special Attack drop from Miraidon's Draco Meteor, which Unaware doesn't allow. With Tera Steel and Water Absorb, Clodsire acts as a good Iron Bundle and Walking Wake check while taking Draco Meteor from Miraidon, Psyshock from Flutter Mane, and Ice-type STAB moves from Chien-Pao better. Alternatively, Tera Fire can be used to retain the Ice resistance while also gaining a resistance to Chi-Yu's nuclear Fire-type moves. 32 Defense EVs let Clodsire survive Earthquake from bulky Great Tusk. Great Tusk, Chien-Pao, and Koraidon force Clodsire out, so physically defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Corviknight, and Dondozo are good teammates. Gholdengo and Annihilape are also good teammates, as they can block hazard removal attempts from Corviknight, which otherwise can easily remove hazards against Clodsire. Clodsire can't deal with Choice Specs Miraidon properly, so faster Pokemon such as Iron Bundle and Choice Scarf users such as Tera Fairy Dugtrio and Koraidon are good teammates.
