Farmint and Roadint are linked counterparts, like Volbeat and Illumise. They have pretty must the same BST, with Farmint having an extra 20 points in Defense and Roadint putting those in Special Defense instead. This, their typing, and Tidy Up makes them specialized counters versus the two premier hazard setters in Manaka Dex; Farmint resists Jakammer's Ground stabs and is neutral to its Fighting stabs, where those are both super effective on Roadint. Roadint in turn is better at fighting Capseelie, resisting its Fairy and hitting back super-effective in turn, and being immune to its Toxic Spikes. Boxoton poses more of a problem to them, but Tidy Up does clear Whammo! and it does not get either set of Spikes.
Farmint and Roadint's signature abilities help give them some oomph even when there's nothing worth Tidying Up, ensuring they get at least one hit in. With Bulldoze as a coverage move, this makes both of them a potential counter for Rolobyre as well, canceling its damage boost for the turn, hitting it super-effectively and doing a number to its speed stat. Alternatively, they can pick up their hidden ability for more defensive utility.
Farmint and Roadint are common in different parts of the region, but in their encounter tables there's always a small chance you will encounter the other, finding the country mouse or city mouse on their way to see their cousin. Finding them this way provides them with their Hidden Ability.
