[SET COMMENTS]

Grimmsnarl finds itself a spot in Dark-type teams with its excellent capability of setting up while helping with crucial matchups like Dragon.
Rest and Sleep Talk are used together to give Grimmsnarl a form of recovery, allowing Grimmsnarl to set up more consistently. With Rest, Grimmsnarl makes a good sponge to status conditions such as burn and Toxic poison as well. Spirit Break is used to deal significant damage against types such as Dragon and Fighting and in mirror matchups. The Special Attack drop from Spirit Break also allows Grimmsnarl to take on specially offensive Pokemon that it struggles against, such as Duraludon. Prankster complements Grimmsnarl's whole set, as it allows Grimmsnarl to almost always move first, helping Dark-type teams with handling powerful foes such as Dracovish and Dracozolt. However, Sleep Talk rolls often are too unreliable to handle Steel- and Fairy-type Pokemon such as Corviknight, Duraludon, and Gardevoir, so it is recommended to not take any risks against foes that can naturally beat Grimmsnarl. Leftovers grants Grimmsnarl additional passive recovery. A specially defensive EV spread is used because Grimmsnarl's physical stats are already boosted by Bulk Up.

Hydreigon acts as a solid wallbreaker with its excellent coverage and firepower, eliminating threats such as Toxapex, Ferrothorn, Corviknight, and Duraludon for Grimmsnarl, and both Pokemon drastically improve the Dragon-type matchup. Drapion sets up Toxic Spikes for Grimmsnarl, forcing opposing Pokemon to switch more often, thus allowing Grimmsnarl to set up more consistently. With a Choice Scarf set, Drapion also drastically improves the Fairy-type matchup. Tyranitar can set up Stealth Rock, which can negate Focus Sash and Sturdy of foes like Duraludon to prevent them from revenge killing Grimmsnarl. With its good special bulk, Tyranitar can also handle specially offensive Fairy-type threats for Grimmsnarl, such as Ribombee and Gardevoir. Bisharp's part Steel (RH) typing allows it to handle slow Fairy-types such as Clefable and Hatterene. It can also beat opposing RestTalk Grimmsnarl and has a powerful STAB priority in Sucker Punch that helps with taking on fast threats such as Dracovish. Mandibuzz provides Defog support to Grimmsnarl, which allows Grimmsnarl to switch in and set up safer. With Toxic, it can also cripple threats such as Hippowdon that prevent Grimmsnarl from setting up. Mandibuzz also provides a handful of neutralities to types such as Bug and Fighting and a Ground-type immunity for teammates such as Tyranitar and Drapion.

[Conflux]

Mention that Spirit Break drops the opponent's SpA which can help it beat strong special attackers and in combination with Bulk Up and full investment in SpD it can be problematic to take down.

You could talk a bit about how in some cases Grimmsnarl has to rely on pulling Spirit Break with Sleep Talk and if it doesn't it could get punished either by getting KO'd or by the opponent setting up.

I wouldn't say that Hydreigon forms an offensive core with Grimmsnarl since this set doesn't run investment in Attack and has to set up in order to do significant damage. Just say that it's a powerful wallbreaker that can put a dent in Pokemon that threaten Grimmsnarl such as the ones you already mentioned.

I wouldn't mention Bisharp as an example of a Focus Sash user because it doesn't typically run Sash and if you use Spirit Break on it you'll give it a +2 Attack boost. Speaking of Bisharp you should add it as a teammate because it's another threat to Fairy, has powerful priority in Sucker Punch and can beat opposing RestTalk Grimmsnarl.

Mandibuzz doesn't resist Bug and Fighting. You could mention Sableye as a Fighting immunity if you want.

-When referring to a stat value, always spell the entire stat out. Say "Special Attack" versus "SpA".

-"This helps Dark-type teams with handling powerful foes such as Dracovish and Dracozolt, two big threats to Dark-type teams, as their unique moves lose their double damage trait."
-Add words blue, delete in red.
-Take off the mention of Speed in the EV investment sentence. Its been stated that Grimmsnarl uses the priority gained from Prankster in order to set up/attack most of the time, so it feels redundant here.
-Merge Hydreigon's targets together to keep your thoughts cohesive (don't have to add a smaller, second sentence saying it also targets something when you come off a sentence talking about what it targets)
-Also mention Mandibuzz having Toxic to whittle physically defensive walls that otherwise stop Grimmsnarl from setting up.

Sorry for the extra ping, but could you change the set name to "Resttalk" Perish Song?
