Despite not having reliable recovery options or a beneficial typing, Mudbray sets itself apart from other Stealth Rock setters due to its bulk and Stamina ability, allowing it to wall strong physical attackers such as Klang and Persian consistently. Toxic allows Mudbray to cripple bulky Defog and Rapid Spin users such as Vullaby, Dartrix, and Wartortle that want to switch in. Rest is Mudbray's only recovery move, which allows it to heal from otherwise crippling status conditions and keeps it healthy to continuously wall physical attackers throughout the game. Roar allows Mudbray to phaze setup sweepers such as Belly Drum Eiscue, Dragon Dance Hakamo-o, and Bulk Up Scraggy. Rock Slide is an alternative option that can help chip Defog users such as Vullaby and Dartrix alongside Toxic.

Mudbray is best suited for balance builds, where it can use its bulk to set up Stealth Rock and spread Toxic safely. Physical attackers such as Swords Dance Silvally-Ice and Gourgeist-L are able to break past Mudbray, so support from Pokemon like Klang and Vullaby is appreciated. Special attackers such as Gloom, Galarian Mr. Mime, Shiinotic, and Wartortle all pressure Mudbray to immediately switch out, so special walls such as Lickitung, Dusclops, and Klang are great teammates to switch into. Lickitung in particular provides Mudray with Wish and Heal Bell support that it greatly appreciates. Sweepers such as Silvally-Ice, Mr. Mime, and Wartortle appreciate Mudbray switching into and pressuring counters such as Shift Gear Klang and Shedinja and sponging priority attacks from users such as Fake Out Persian and First Impression Farfetch'd.

write somewhere here in a concise way that it suffers from competition with others rockers, something like "Despite..." Mudbray sets itself apart from other Stealth Rock setters due to a correct offensive presence and to its Stamina ability, allowing it to wall strong physical attackers such as Klang, Machoke, versions w/o rest are not able to come on machoke, versions with rest finished to be forced to rest and let mudbray in a dangerous situation and it eventually dies later if it's flame orb machoke. It doesn't beat machoke consistently and Persian consistently. Toxic allows Mudbray to cripple special attackers not really, rather bulky mons such as Mr. Mime-Galar Mime-G takes 70% on EQ, toxic is rarely the best option to click in this scenario. Mention bulky defogers such as Vullaby/Dartrix which would want to come on mudbray and are punished by toxic and Wartortle that want to switch in to take advantage of its low Special Defense. Rest is Mudbray's only recovery move, which allows it to heal from otherwise crippling status moves and keeps it healthy to continuously wall physical attackers throughout the game. Rock Slide can help chip Defog users such as Vullaby and Dartrix alongside Toxic. Roar allows Mudbray to phaze set-up sweepers such as Belly Drum Eiscue, Dragon Dance Hakamo-o, and Sub Nasty Plot Oranguru Mudbray cannot really switch on oranguru & earthquake breaks already sub if she tried to set up in front of it. Mention either duosion or scraggy BU.

+ don't forget to talk about Roar first before Rock Slide in the text in mentionning Rock Slide is an alternative option.

Mudbray is best suited for balance builds, where it can use its bulk to set up Stealth Rock and spread Toxic safely. Mudbray loses against Gourgeist-Large/SD Silvally Ice which are two of the best physical mons in the meta. Since people will use Mudbray as a physically defensive stealth rocker, mention it loses against these two threats and find answers to them to help Mudbray Special attackers such as Ivysaur, Gloom, Mr. Mime-Galar, Shiinotic, and Wartortle Too many examples here+dusc/licki/klang don't really want to switch on knock off ivysaur all pressure Mudbray to immediately switch out, so special walls such as Lickitung, Dusclops, and Klang are great teammates to switch into. Lickitung in particular provides Mudray with Wish-Pass and Heal Bell support that it greatly appreciates. Sweepers such as Silvally-Ice, Mr. Mime, and Klang appreciate the Toxic and Stealth Rock chip that Mudbray provides to help their sweeps late-game. Every set up sweeper is supported by rocks, mention for example that mudbray can easily take priorities to which Mime is weak to or it walls some of their counters such as physical klang.

Despite not having reliable recovery options or a beneficial typing, Mudbray sets itself apart from other Stealth Rock setters due to its strong offensive presence its bulk and its Stamina ability, allowing it to wall strong physical attackers such as Klang and Persian consistently (mudbray isnt an offensive SR setter like Krokorok and Sudowoodo, so instead focus on its bulk as it does have a ton of defensive investment). Toxic allows Mudbray to cripple bulky hazard removal such as Vullaby, Dartrix, and Wartortle that want to switch in. Rest is Mudbray's only recovery move, which allows it to heal from otherwise crippling status moves conditions and keeps it healthy to continuously wall physical attackers throughout the game. Roar allows Mudbray to phaze set-up sweepers such as Belly Drum Eiscue, Dragon Dance Hakamo-o, and Bulk Up Scraggy. Rock Slide is an alternative option that can help chip Defog users such as Vullaby and Dartrix alongside Toxic.

Mudbray is best suited for balance builds, where it can use its bulk to set up Stealth Rock and spread Toxic safely. Physical attackers such as Swords Dance Silvally-Ice and Gourgeist-L are able to break past Mudbray, so support from Pokemon like Klang and Vullaby is appreciated. Special attackers such as Gloom, Galarian Mr. Mime, Shiinotic, and Wartortle all pressure Mudbray to immediately switch out, so special walls such as Lickitung, Dusclops, and Klang are great teammates to switch into. Lickitung in particular provides Mudray with Wish-Pass and Heal Bell support that it greatly appreciates. Sweepers such as Silvally-Ice, Mr. Mime, and Klang Wartortle (variance with teammate examples) appreciate Mudbray switching into and pressuring counters such as Shift Gear Klang and Shedinja and sponge priority such as Fake Out Persian and First Impression Farfetch'd.
