Unlike Seismitoad's more offensive cousins in Croagunk and Toxicroak, this bumpy toad excels at being a wall in RU! The combination of its typing, decent defensive stats, and multiple utility moves allows Seismitoad to compress roles and differentiate itself from RU's other Ground-types. 104 Speed EVs let it outspeed Adamant Golurk and Speed tie with standard Suicune and Milotic. Knock Off cripples common switch-ins such as Togekiss, Noivern, and Celebi and makes progress, and Toxic makes it easier to pressure and break through Umbreon and Porygon2. Seismitoad finds itself on balance and bulky offense teams that value its stellar defensive typing and Water immunity. Roserade checks Grass-types and sets Spikes, while Seismitoad can check Steel- and Fire-types such as Metagross, Cobalion, and Volcanion for Roserade. As Seismitoad lacks any recovery besides Leftovers and is easily worn down by entry hazards, Defoggers like Crobat and Galarian Weezing make for good partners. Additionally, Galarian Weezing can act as a secondary check to Ground-types thanks to Levitate and take pressure off Seismitoad.
