Set Details
===================
Snaelstrom, due to its high defenses and access to utility moves, is a good choice for a defensive utility Pokémon. Its access to Swords Dance, Facade, and Poison Heal is also beneficial as it allows it to turn into an offensive Pokémon despite not having much attack in the first place. Razor Shell one of its best Water STAB moves. Another option is Waterfall. Max HP and SpDef investment makes it a lot more tankier than it already is, allowing it to stay on the field for a long time if needed. Snaelstrom is weak to Electric, Rock, and Flying type attacks, making it vulnerable to Pokémon like Caribolt and Cawmodore. Equilibra is an example of a Pokémon that can back it up as its typing covers all of Snaelstrom's weaknesses. Equilibra also benefits from Snaelstrom as it also resists all of Equilibra's weaknesses.

Checks and Counters
===================
Physically Tanky Pokémon: Due to Snaelstrom's poor physical attack, it falters against Pokémon with high physical defense such as Cawmodore.
Grass Types: Despite being a Bug type, this sets lack of coverage against Grass types, such as Caribolt or Jumbao, forces it to either Toxic stall or switch out.
Electric Types: Being a relatively slow Pokémon, Snaelstrom can't stay in the field against an Electric type such as Caribolt or Plasmanta, even with boosts from Swords Dance.
