Mabosstiff feels like a very overlooked pokemon at the moment. It has intimidate, nearly as bulky as Arcanine, and the trade-off is immunity to prankster. It also has a pretty good support moveset including the very unique move jaw lock, allowing you to intimidate/charm/snarl/fake tears an opponent, and prevent them from swapping out to reset stats, or escape perish song. Something along the lines of a bulky support with jaw lock/snarl/charm/protect seems like a solid set for shutting down an offensive pokemon and turning the fight into a 2v1.
Any thoughts? I'd love to start building a team around him
Yeah Flutter Mane is the big lingering threat in the early meta and definitely counters Mabosstiff, but it's not a 1v1. Given the right teammates I think he'd be fine
You're not wrong... That does have me thinking about a perish song team though, with Mabosstiff as a secondary option with Gothitelle

I was thinking pairing with grimmsnarl might be fun. Intimidate, then jaw lock parting shot gets them to -2/-1, and swaps in a stronger threat. Just spitballing, but jaw lock is a lot more effective if your ally applies the stat drop so they don't have time to swap
