After a stint in NU, this pile of garbage is back and stinkier than ever! Garbodor is a great Spikes setter thanks to its workable bulk and threatening STAB option. Stomping Tantrum hits opposing Garbodor and Steel-types like Togedemaru and has the added benefit of punishing Protect from Gigalith. Pain Split gives Garbodor semi-reliable recovery, Corrosive Gas removes items from switch-ins like Levitate Weezing, and Toxic threatens Jellicent. The Speed EVs let it outspeed Adamant Aggron. This set sees use mainly on hazard stacking teams, so Stealth Rock setters like Gigalith and Sandaconda are solid partners. Garbodor can also switch into Fighting- and Grass-types for them. Wallbreakers such as Gallade and Ribombee enjoy Spikes in order to wear down their switch-ins like Aromatisse and Aggron, which usually do not run Heavy-Duty Boots. Ironically, Garbodor gets worn down quickly by entry hazards, so spinners like Eldegoss and Claydol are useful to remove entry hazards on Garbodor's side without removing Garbodor's own Spikes; they can also switch into Ground- and Psychic-types for Garbodor.
