Sword & Shield Claydol Best Moveset

Levitate helps Claydol stick around while dealing real damage. Rocky Helmet for chip damage on every physical hit received, max HP and Sp. Atk EVs for the right balance, and Psychic as the main threat. Not the fastest, but it doesn't need to be.

Most of Claydol's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Future Sight and Earthquake, but Normal and Rock and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.
