[OVERVIEW]

Fire
========

High Special Attack, good Speed, a good STAB combination, and Beast Boost to steamroll teams make Blacephalon a threatening revenge killer for Fire-type teams. A Choice Scarf lets it revenge kill Pokemon such as Tapu Koko, Zeraora, and Thundurus-T, which are otherwise threats to Fire-type teams. However, Blacephalon has absolutely no bulk and finds it really hard to come into battle. Due to its poor bulk, even resisted attacks tend to take a good chunk of its health. Due to its typing, Blacephalon is weak to common priority moves like Sucker Punch, Shadow Sneak, and Aqua Jet from Pokemon such as Bisharp, Aegislash, and Azumarill, which makes it easy to check. A lacking movepool also makes it more predictable for opposing teams.

[SET]

[SET COMMENTS]
Shadow Ball takes down weakened Pokemon like Rotom-W, Urshifu-R, and Mantine. It also takes care of Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon such as Spectrier, Tapu Lele, and Slowbro. Flamethrower provides more STAB coverage and hits hard with Drought support, easily taking care of Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Landorus-T, and Thundurus-T with prior minor chip damage. Fire Blast may be used over Flamethrower for considerably more power, with it OHKOing a huge threat in Tapu Koko without Drought support, though it is not reliable as Flamethrower. Psyshock is used to revenge kill a threatening Pokemon in Nihilego, which takes all other moves comfortably. Trick is important to debilitate bulky walls that can take on Blacephalon throughout the battle such as Mantine, defensive Heatran, and Blissey. It also gives Pokemon like Bulk Up Cinderace and Volcarona setup opportunities against Choice-locked defensive Pokemon. Choice Scarf is used to help it revenge kill faster threats like Latias, Zeraora, and Dragapult for Fire-type teams.

Torkoal is a premier support Pokemon for Blacephalon and Fire-type teams in general, providing not only necessary Drought support to boost Fire-type moves and weaken Water-type attacks, but also quintessential Rapid Spin and Stealth Rock support. Torkoal can also pivot into physical attackers like Mimikyu, Drapion, and Bisharp that threaten Blacephalon. Cinderace complements Blacephalon massively, it's able to handle special sponges like Tyranitar, Blissey, and Galarian Slowking that can handle Blacephalon. Cinderace's colorful movepool and ability Libero let it wallbreak and clear the way for Blacephalon to clean up. Thanks to Bolt Strike, Choice Band Victini is tremendous to beat Pokemon like Mantine, Toxapex, which prove to be obstacles for Blacephalon. With Drought support, Victini can shred apart even Water / Ground Pokemon like Seismitioad and Gastrodon with V-create. Volcarona and Rotom-H can weaken shared checks for Blacephalon, and Volcarona can improve matchups like Electric and Dark, while Rotom-H can utilize a Nasty Plot set to break through defensive teams like Poison or support Blacephalon with dual screens. Either way, Rotom-H provides a valuable Ground immunity to the team. Heatran can support Blacephalon too by taking on Dragon-type Pokemon like Latios for it. Defensive Heatran also does a great job of checking threats like Nihilego, easing some pressure off of Blacephalon. Stallbreaker Heatran can eliminate walls like Mantine and Toxapex for Blacephalon. Volcanion is decent to help beat Water-types such as Tapu Fini, Urshifu-R, and Toxapex, as well as offering Defog support to the team.

Other Options
=============

Fire
--------
Blacephalon can also utilize a Choice Specs set to wallbreak, as it has already-high Special Attack and teams will struggle to take it on; however, Fire teams greatly appreciate the Speed ceiling that Blacephalon brings to the type with a Choice Scarf. A Substitute + Calm Mind set is also an option to take on specific teams like Normal teams, but Cinderace already does a good job of beating such types, and Blacephalon's low bulk grants fewer opportunities to set up.

Checks and Counters
===================

Fire
--------

**Priority moves**: Blacephalon is vulnerable to some common priority moves like Sucker Punch, Shadow Sneak, Aqua Jet, and Accelerock from Pokemon such as Bisharp, Mimikyu, Azumarill, and Lycanroc which can easily deal with Blacephalon.

**Special Walls**: Special walls like Mantine, Mandibuzz, Rotom-W, Blissey, and Tyranitar can easily take Blacephalon's attacks. They can proceed to status or weaken Blacephalon or set up Stealth Rock in the case of Blissey and Tyranitar. However, some of them need to be wary of Trick.

**Revenge Killers**: Even faster Choice Scarf users like Latios, Gengar, Dragapult, and Terrakion can outspeed Blacephalon and easily KO it.

**Residual Damage**: Thunder Wave greatly hampers Blacephalon's revenge killing potential, making it vulnerable to opposing slower Pokemon. Klefki and Grimmsnarl can easily land Thunder Wave with Prankster. Forms of residual damage like Toxic, Stealth Rock, and Spikes make Blacephalon worn out and easier to handle for opposing teams.

[SET COMMENTS]
* Shadow Ball is the STAB move that is used to take down weakened Pokemon like Rotom-W, Urshifu-R, and Mantine. It also takes care of Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon such as Spectrier, Dragapult, Tapu Lele and Slowbro.
* Flamethrower is the other STAB move that hits hard with Drought support and can easily take care of Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Landorus-T, and Thundurus-T with prior minor chip damage.
* Fire Blast may be used over Flamethrower as it hits considerably harder though it is not reliable as Flamethrower due to the accuracy. could mention that it ohkos tapu koko without sun. this is esp useful in the elec/fairy mus since if u lead torkoal u have to sack something if u dont have a rotom h or alolawak. blace is a great lead in those mus because of this
* Psyshock is used to revenge kill a threatening Pokemon like Nihilego and it also does a good chunk of damage to a special wall like Blissey. it doesnt really do much to blissey so remove that part
* Trick is important move to cripple bulky walls that can take on Blacephalon throughout the battle such as Mantine, defensive Heatran and Blissey.
* Maximum Special attack and Speed investment with a Timid nature makes Blacephalon hit as hard and be as fast as possible. Choice Scarf is used as an item to help it revenge kill faster threats like Latias, Zeraora and Dragapult for Fire-type teams.

* Torkoal is a great teammate and premiere support Pokemon for Fire-type teams as it provides Blacephalon not only with necessary Drought support to boost Fire-type moves and weakens Water-type attacks but it also provides quintessential Rapid Spin and Stealth Rock support. Torkoal is also able to pivot into physical attackers like Mimikyu, Drapion, and Bisharp that threaten Blacephalon. probably as a general thing id note that blace's trick is nice for setup sweepers to do their thing
* Cinderace compliments Blacephalon massively as it is able to handle special sponge like Tyranitar, Blissey, and Galarian Slowking that can handle Blacephalon. Cinderace's colorful movepool and ability Libero lets it wallbreak and clean the way for Blacephalon to clean up.
* Victini can also support Blacephalon tremendously by utilizing a Choice Band set to beat Pokemon like Mantine, and Toxapex that prove to be an obstacle for Blacephalon. With Drought support, Victini can shred apart even Water-type Pokemon like Seismitioad and Gastrodon.
* Volcarona and Rotom-H can weaken shared checks for Blacephalon, Volcarona can improve matchups like Electric and Dark while Rotom-H can utilize a Nasty Plot set to wallbreak defensive teams like Poison, or it may utilize a dual screen set to support Blacephalon in cleaning teams more effectively.
* Heatran can support Blacephalon too by taking on Dragon-type Pokemon like Latios for it. Defensive Heatran also does a great job of checking threat like Nihilego and eases some pressure off of Blacephalon to deal with it. Stall breaker Heatran can eliminate walls like Mantine and Toxapex for Blacephalon.

[OVERVIEW]

Fire
========

High Special Attack, good Speed stat, STAB combination along with its ability Beast Boost to steamroll team makes Speed, a good STAB combination, and Beast Boost to steamroll teams make Blacephalon a threatening revenge killer for Fire-type teams. Its above average Speed stat combined with a A Choice Scarf lets it revenge kill Pokemon such as Tapu Koko, Zeraora, (AC) and Thundurus-T, (AC) which are otherwise threats to Fire-type teams. However, (AC) Blacephalon has absolutely no bulk and finds it really hard to find opportunities to come into battle. Due to its poor bulk, even resisted attacks tend to take a good chunk of its health. Due to its typing, Blacephalon is weak to common priority moves like Sucker Punch, Shadow Sneak, and Aqua Jet from Pokemon such as Bisharp, Aegislash, and Azumarill, respectively, which makes it easy to check Blacephalon. A lack of colorful lacking movepool also makes it more predictable for opposing teams.

Shadow Ball is the STAB move that is used to take takes down weakened Pokemon like Rotom-W, Urshifu-R, and Mantine. It also takes care of Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon such as Spectrier, Tapu Lele, (AC) and Slowbro. Flamethrower is the other STAB move that provides more STAB coverage and hits hard with Drought support and can easily take support, easily taking care of Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Landorus-T, and Thundurus-T with prior minor chip damage. Fire Blast may be used over Flamethrower as it hits considerably harder as it is able to OHKO a huge threat like Tapu Koko without drought for considerably more power, with it OHKOing a huge threat in Tapu Koko without Drought support, though it is not reliable as Flamethrower due to the accuracy. Psyshock is used to revenge kill a threatening Pokemon like Nihilego in Nihilego, which takes all other moves comfortably. Trick is important move to cripple to debilitate bulky walls that can take on Blacephalon throughout the battle such as Mantine, defensive Heatran, (AC) and Blissey. It also gives Pokemon like Bulk Up Cinderace and Volcarona setup opportunities against Choice-locked defensive Pokemon locked due to Trick. Choice Scarf is used as an item to help it revenge kill faster threats like Latias, Zeraora, (AC) and Dragapult for Fire-type teams.

Torkoal is a great teammate and premiere support Pokemon for Fire-type teams as it provides Blacephalon not only with a premier support Pokemon for Blacephalon and Fire-type teams in general, providing not only necessary Drought support to boost Fire-type moves and weakens weaken Water-type attacks, (AC) but it also provides also quintessential Rapid Spin and Stealth Rock support. Torkoal is also able to can also pivot into physical attackers like Mimikyu, Drapion, and Bisharp that threaten Blacephalon. Cinderace compliments complements Blacephalon massively, (AC) as it is it's able to handle special sponge sponges like Tyranitar, Blissey, and Galarian Slowking that can handle Blacephalon. Cinderace's colorful movepool and ability Libero lets let it wallbreak and clean clear the way for Blacephalon to clean up. Victini can also support Blacephalon tremendously by utilizing a Choice Band set Thanks to Bolt Strike, Choice Band Victini is tremendous (i assume this still makes sense?) to beat Pokemon like Mantine (RC) and Toxapex, (AC) that which prove to be an obstacle obstacles for Blacephalon. With Drought support, Victini can shred apart even Water-type Water / Ground (I assume this is the point?) Pokemon like Seismitioad and Gastrodon with V-create. Volcarona and Rotom-H can weaken shared checks for Blacephalon, and Volcarona can improve matchups like Electric and Dark, (AC) while Rotom-H can utilize a Nasty Plot set to wallbreak break through defensive teams like Poison (RC) or it may utilize a dual screen set to support Blacephalon in cleaning teams more effectively while also providig a valuable Ground-type support Blacephalon with dual screens. Either way, Rotom-H provides a valuable Ground immunity to the team. Heatran can support Blacephalon too by taking on Dragon-type Pokemon like Latios for it. Defensive Heatran also does a great job of checking threat threats like Nihilego, (AC) and eases some pressure off of Blacephalon to deal with it. Stall breaker easing some pressure off of Blacephalon. Stallbreaker Heatran can eliminate walls like Mantine and Toxapex for Blacephalon. Volcanion is a decent teammate as it can decent to help beat Pokemon (either change "Pokemon" to "Water-types" or add a Pokemon that isn't Water-type to the list) such as Tapu Fini, Urshifu-R, and Toxapex, while also as well as offering Defog support to the team.

A Substitute + Calm Mind set is also an option to take on specific teams like Normal however teams, but Cinderace already does a good job of beating such types, (AC) and Blacephalon's low bulk grants less fewer opportunities to set up.

**Special Walls**: Special walls like Mantine, Mandibuzz, Rotom-W, Blissey, and Tyranitar can easily deal with Blacephalon as it cannot reliably beat such Pokemon.

However, (AC) some of them need to be wary of Trick.

I have 0 idea what an em dash is but its fixed now
They're used to basically chip in extra info that's useful to know but not crucial to whatever you're writing about. Sometimes they're interchangeable with commas, but in this case an em dash works perfectly. Also, there isn't supposed to be a space before an after an em dash, so it should look like this:

Code:
Fire Blast may be used over Flamethrower&mdash;notably to OHKO Tapu Koko without sun support&mdash;but is less reliable.
