[OVERVIEW]
Shroomish's nice defensive stats and access to Spore seem appealing, but it is largely outclassed by the ubiquitous Foongus. The only things Shroomish has over Foongus are a resistance to Ground-type moves and a better physical movepool with Drain Punch to hit Pawniard and Ferroseed, which isn't a great trade because Foongus has an absurd ability in Regenerator and a resistance to Fighting. Shroomish is also rendered passive by a majority of the tier due to its inability to damage Flying-, Fire-, and Poison-types, especially after it already put a Pokemon to sleep.
[SET]
name: Tank
move 1: Spore
move 2: Bullet Seed
move 3: Drain Punch
move 4: Synthesis
item: Eviolite
ability: Effect Spore
nature: Impish
evs: 36 HP / 36 Atk / 196 Def / 116 SpD / 76 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
Shroomish's best bet is to come in on Pokemon it resists such as Staryu and Mudbray and try to force switches in an attempt to put an opposing Pokemon to sleep. However, Foongus pulls off this role much more effectively, with its Regenerator ability letting it play as a defensive pivot while also carrying a Fighting-type resistance and a more useful movepool.
