Holy shit I forgot to write a Mon set
Dhelmise brings Rain into the meta, and shakes the table with it's presence on the tier, immediately putting previously middle of the road Pokémon like Poliwrath and to a lesser extent Armaldo at the top of the metagame, and make them a top priority for teams to be able to answer. Even as a Mon in and of itself, Dhelmise is an extremely powerful physical breaker with Rain boosted STAB Liquidations hitting for massive damage, and STAB Power Whip hitting the only Water resists in the tier for massive damage.
Dhelmise @ Damp Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Ability: Drizzle
Impish Nature
- Liquidation
- U-turn
- Rapid Spin
- Knock Off / Horn Leech
Rain setter extraordinare. Dhelmise combines alot of utility allowing Rain squads to be relatively self sufficient. Liquidation keeps Dhelm not passive, hitting hard even without investment. U-turn allows it to safely bring in rain sweepers as well, while keeping up momentum, crucial for a metagame like this. Rapid Spin gives the squad hazard control and the last slot can either be the useful Knock Off or secondary STAB Horn Leech that can offset damage.
Dhelmise @ Choice Band
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Ability: Drizzle
Adamant Nature
- Power Whip
- Liquidation
- Aqua Jet
- U-turn
Choice Band Dhelmise has no switchins, Liquidation does massive damage damage to almost every single Pokémon in the tier, except itself and the other Water types, which are all swiftly OHKOd by Power Whip. Aqua Jet gives it dangerous revenge killing potential and offsets it's very low speed. U-turn is a filler slot tbh and is probably it's best move since you aren't needing coverage.
Dhelmise @ Mystic Water / Leftovers
EVs: 92 HP / 252 Atk / 164 Spe
Ability: Drizzle
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Liquidation
- Aqua Jet
- Horn Leech / Power Whip
Swords Dance can make Dhelmise an immediate wallbreaker and threatening set up sweeper, while not hard locking into into a move, and preserving some extra defensive utility. 164 Speed creeps 60 base speed uninvested, ensuring that a Weezing-Galar cannot fire off a Will-O-Wisp. Yk the drill, Liquidation and Aqua Jet are the super powered STAB moves, with Aqua Jet being especially potent in the late game at +2. Last slot is whatever you prefer as the Grass STAB of choice - Horn Leech for sustainable or Power Whip for power. Personally for the existing meta ATM, you definitely want Horn Leech, +2 Horn Leech kills anything that Liquidation cannot rn anyways.
You do not run Steelworker, please.

hau is confirmed normal, gluke lied about them being steel. I know who the steels are.
I can pull up logs when I get home.

It might be a bit strong so I'm willing to switch off later, but it's the most efficient sub for what we have in the meta rn
