The combination of Rest, Sleep Talk, and Stamina gives Mudbray the longevity to one-on-one physical threats like Pawniard, Larvesta, and Shellder while also surviving special attacks thanks to max special investment. Heavy Slam is to hit opponents that are immune or resist Earthquake like Drifloon, Deerling, and Toedscool. Tera Steel provides a better defensive type to handle Quaxly, Mareanie and Foongus while also giving Heavy Slam a STAB boost. Mudbray cannot outlast foes with a type-advantage in a one-on-one, so switch-ins to Water and Grass Types like Foongus and Mareanie are good partners. Because Stamina only boosts Defense, Special-attackers are harder for Mudbray to handle, especially Hex-users like Drifloon and Hisuian Zorua who can take advantage of Mudbray while it is Resting. Special tanks or partners that can deal with common special-attackers like Toedscool and Pawniard should be used. Electric and Flying types like Wattrel, Wingull, and Voltorb make great partners with Resttalk Mudbray, since they can threaten the Grass, Water and Electric types that Mudbray has trouble with, while Mudbray can repeatedly switch in and threaten Ground, Rock, and Steel types because of the longevity of Rest.

Because of its threatening Earthquake and impressive bulk due to Stamina, Mudbray can capitalize on the switches it forces with Stealth Rock. Heavy Slam hits common Earthquake switch-in Toedscool while Rock Tomb allows Mudbray to hit Flying types like Wattrel and Wingull and also provides valuable speed control. Tera Steel lets Mudbray gain the advantage against opposing Grass Types and Tera Ice Electric-Types but must be wary of Fighting and Ground Types like Crabrawler and Diglett. Stealth Rock Mudbray allows other entry hazard setters like Pawniard to run other sets, and Mudbray can form a hazard stacking core with other setters like Glimmet or Mareanie. Grass and Water checks like Foongus, Mareanie, and Wattrel are good team members to cover Mudbray’s weaknesses. Electric-types like Wattrel and Magnemite pair well with Mudbray since they can threaten the Water and Flying types that Mudbray struggles with, and Stealth Rocks can amplify the damage dealt by their Volt Switches.

The combination of Rest, Sleep Talk, and Stamina gives Mudbray the longevity to one-on-one physical threats like Pawniard, Deerling, and Mankey (some more relevant examples like Larvesta and Shellder would be better here) while also surviving special attacks thanks to max special investment. Earthquake is a strong STAB move to reliably hit foes hard and has excellent neutral coverage. (You don't need to explain what STAB moves do) Heavy Slam is to hit opponents that are immune or resist Earthquake like Drifloon, Deerling, and Toedscool. Tera Steel provides a better defensive type, (Provide examples of what tera Steel lets mud match up better against) allowing it to shed it’s weakness to Water, Ice, and Grass while also giving Heavy Slam a STAB boost. Mudbray cannot outlast foes with a type-advantage in a one-on-one, so switch-ins to Water and Grass Types like Foongus and Mareanie are good partners. Because Stamina only boosts Defense, (AC) Special-attackers are harder for Mudbray to handle, especially Hex-users like Drifloon and Hisuian Zorua who can take advantage of Mudbray while it is Resting. Special tanks or partners that can deal with common special-attackers like Toedscool and Pawniard should be used. Electric and Flying types like Wattrel, Wingull, and Magnemite Voltorb make great partners with Resttalk Mudbray, since they can threaten the Grass, Water and Electric types that Mudbray has trouble with, while Mudbray can repeatedly switch in and threaten Ground, Rock, and Steel types because of the longevity of Rest.

Because of its threatening Earthquake and impressive bulk due to Stamina, Mudbray can capitalize on the switches it forces with Stealth Rock. Heavy Slam hits common Earthquake switch-in Toedscool while Rock Slide Rock Tomb allows Mudbray to hit Flying types like Wattrel and Wingull. Alternatively, Close Combat can be run to provide super-effective coverage on Deerling and Zorua while securing earlier KOes against Toedscool. Tera Steel lets Mudbray gain the advantage against opposing Grass Types and Tera Ice Electric Types but must be wary of Fighting and Ground Types. (Provide examples) Stealth Rock Mudbray allows other common setters like Pawniard to run other sets, and Mudbray can form a hazard stacking core with other entry hazard setters like Glimmet or Mareanie.
