Is the Sharp Steel entry hazard from Gmax Copperajah's Gmax Steelsurge any good?

Gmax Copperajah’s signature move Gmax Steelsurge creates a new entry hazard called Sharp Steel which in essence is a steel type Stealth Rocks. Stealth Rocks is run in many different strategies and is a large threat. Copperajah can learn Stealth Rocks via TR so it can setup Stealth Rocks and Sharp Steel to cut down around 25% of the opponent’s health since few Pokemon resist both steel and rock. This would be a huge disadvantage to the opponent as Copperajah hits like a tank so they probably lose a Pokemon to it and be forced to lose 25% of their health to the entry hazards.

Depends on what you want to use it for. Overall, though, I would say no. Hazards aren’t that good this generation, mainly because of the introduction of Heavy-Duty Boots. While it’s a fun idea, from a competitive standpoint even just GMAX Copperjah isn’t that good. Also, Copperjah is extremely slow, with 30 base speed. This strategy only works as long as you can set up rocks as Copperjah and are willing to waste your Dynamax setting up Sharp Steel, and your opponent not KOing you in 3 turns. Plus, it’s easily shut down by Heavy-Duty Boots and Rapid Spin/Defog. In a 3v3 I would say it’s probably not that good, in a 6v6 you might be able to make it work. But like I said, a lot of it depends on the format.
