[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its high base Attack and Speed stats and U-turn, Meowscarada functions incredibly as an offensive pivot and wallbreaker. U-turn allows Meowscarada to switch out of problematic matchups such as Corviknight and Kingambit and into threats like Iron Moth and Iron Hands to scare them away. Trick enables Meowscarada to punish bulky walls like Corviknight, Skarmory, and Mandibuzz looking to switch in on it; alternatively, Triple Axel provides a way for Meowscarada to hit Dragonite, Mandibuzz, and Chesnaught for super effective damage. Meowscarada can use Choice Band to OHKO Deoxys-D, Walking Wake, and Garganacl after Stealth Rock, while Choice Scarf gives it the ability to outspeed incredibly fast foes such as Deoxys-S, Choice Scarf Azelf, and Roaring Moon. Since Meowscarada struggles against Corviknight, Skarmory, and Kingambit, it appreciates partners like Zapdos, Sandy Shocks, and Archaludon that can pressure them; in return, Meowscarada can threaten Swampert and Meloetta, which these teammates struggle against. While Meowscarada's Attack stat is adequate, it still appreciates entry hazard support from the likes of Deoxys-D, Garchomp, and Heatran, as Stealth Rock or one layer of Spikes allows Meowscarada to have a very high chance of OHKOing Deoxys-D and Scream Tail.

Thanks to its high base attack Attack and speed Speed stats, as well as access to U-turn, Meowscarada functions incredibly as an Choice Item offensive pivot or wallbreaker It's important to mention the role of Choice Scarf sets too, U-turn isnt exactly why it's a good wallbreaker for example. U-turn allows Meowscarada to switch out of problematic matchups against Pokemon such as Corviknight and Kingambit, and into threats like Iron Moth and Iron Hands to scare them away. Trick enables Meowscarada to punish bulky walls like Corviknight, Skarmory, and Mandibuzz on switch in with either a Choice Band or Choice Scarf looking to switch into it; alternatively, Triple Axel provides a way for Meowscarada to hit Galarian Zapdos Dragonite Gapdos will never stay in on you as it hates getting knocked; Dragonite is more likely to though, Mandibuzz, and Chesnaught for super effective damage. Meowscarada can use a Choice Band, allowing it to OHKO Deoxys-Defense, Walking Wake, and Garganacl after Stealth Rock, while Choice Scarf gives Meowscarada the ability to outspeed incredibly fast foes such as Deoxys-Speed, Choice Scarf Azelf, and Choice Scarf Already implied Roaring Moon. Meowscarada benefits teammates like Zapdos, Sandy Shocks, and Archaludon, as they have trouble breaking through bulky special defensive walls like Swampert and Meloetta, which Meowscarada can handle; in return, Zapdos, Sandy Shocks, and Archaludon can counter Pokemon like Corviknight, Skarmory, and Kingambit, that Meowscarada has trouble breaking through. This sentence could probably be rewritten & shortened down to just mention that Meow struggles versus X walls, and that Y can threaten those; In return, Meow can check Z that Y struggles with, or something along those lines.

Would like to see a mention of Meow appreciating hazards, as it isn't the strongest even with SoR
