Ferroseed

Ferroseed is tied with Bronzor as the weakest SB user in the meta, but is completely outclassed by Bronz in every other way. Ferroseed has a worse movepool, speed, and even ability compared to Bronz, meaning Ferro should only be ran on teams with Bronz already on them as an SB spam playstyle. Ferro is even more vulnerable to anti SB measures with its lower speed and lack of its own Imprison, but still is super weak for taking advantage of the limited amount of viable 1hko’s. Thunder Wave is an option for debilitating potential switch ins like Raltz or Rapidash-Galar, especially if they use Toxic Orb as their item. Protect can be used for scouting, while Stealth Rock can be used against Magic Bounce users that may come in on Ferro like Hatena.
