The premise of this set is pretty simple and it's LO sneasel with CB>LO, but I'll explain why cb is good on this. In between a rocks weakness, being grounded, and life orb recoil, sneasel takes a TON of chip damage per game and it can lose almost 40% of its health whenever you bring it out to attack, which frankly sucks ass. CB Sneasel is still obviously rocks weak, but it doesn't take the 10% chip from LO and actually gets a notable power boost, especially since knock off hits like a truck. This is mainly meant for HOs without hazard control since it helps out with all the chip that sneasel takes while still executing an AoA role very effectively. This set also does a significant amount more to both scarf medicham and Accelgor with ice shard, both of whom are huge headaches for HO, and this in tandem with another priority mon can beat pretty much any anti-offense mon in the metagame.
