[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Sneasler is one of the best cleaners for Poison teams thanks to its powerful STAB moves, like Dire Claw and Close Combat, along with U-turn, which allows Poison teams to preserve momentum while threatening poison with Poison Touch. Choice Scarf allows Sneasler to outspeed Choice Specs Flutter Mane, Regieleki, and opposing Choice Scarf threats like Hisuian Samurott, Enamorus, Iron Treads, Iron Valiant, Roaring Moon and Cinderace. Dire Claw paired with Sneasler's ability Poison Touch gives it a 41.67% chance to inflict poison upon foes, which helps to gradually wear down walls like Ting-Lu and Quagsire, along with a 23.33% chance to inflict paralysis or sleep, disrupting the threat that opposing sweepers pose to the team. While Steel-types are immune to Sneasler's Dire Claw, it can still threaten some of them such as Heatran and Iron Treads with Close Combat. Paired with Switcheroo, it is able to deny opposing walls like Toxapex and Corviknight recovery by passing them the Choice Scarf and forcing them to lock into one move. With the threat of Switcheroo, it also reduces the threat of Pokemon like Dragon Dance Dragonite.

Sneasler pairs well with Amoonguss, which threatens to use Spore against foes and threatens walls like Quagsire and Gastrodon with Giga Drain, along with offensive Pokemon like Great Tusk and Landorus-T. Although Amoonguss can act as a switch-in to Landorus-T, it gets completely countered by its Substitute + Bulk Up set. In addition to that, Amoonguss can use Foul Play to dissuade Ghost-type wallbreakers like Dragapult and Mimikyu from setting up with Dragon Dance and Swords Dance, respectively. Galarian Slowking also synergizes incredibly well with Sneasler, as they form a pivoting core with U-turn and Chilly Reception. Galarian Slowking appreciates Sneasler breaking through Steel-types and spreading status, and Galarian Slowking can support Sneasler by threatening opposing Poison-types with Future Sight, switching in on Gholdengo and threatening it with Flamethrower, and tanking one Earth Power from Landorus and OHKOing it with Ice Beam if Galarian Slowking is running Assault Vest. Toxapex can set up Toxic Spikes for Sneasler to clean easily while the opposing team takes residual damage. It also forms a Regenerator core with Amoonguss and Galarian Slowking and aids Alolan Muk against setup with Haze, thus synergizing well with the momentum provided by Sneasler's U-turn. Alolan Muk is also a great partner for Sneasler, as it provides an immunity to Psychic-type attacks and boasts great special bulk, which allows it to tank attacks from Choice Specs Dragapult and Spectrier and threaten them with Knock Off. Glimmora can set Stealth Rock to support Sneasler's cleaning capability and spin away entry hazards to prevent Sneasler from being worn down, as well as threatening slow Great Tusk with Energy Ball and being a Ground-immune Pokemon that Sneasler can pivot into with Air Balloon. Iron Moth and Salazzle greatly benefit from Choice Scarf Sneasler beating threats like Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao, allowing them to take out foes like Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Klefki, which Sneasler can't break. Salazzle and Glimmora also form a Corrosion core, which helps in the Poison mirror matchup, which Sneasler struggles with. Clodsire is a great teammate to absorb attacks from Iron Valiant, Greninja, and Skeledirge.

(Choice Scarf?) Sneasler is one of the best sweepers (presumably you meant "cleaners" here) for Poison teams, equipped with powerful STAB moves like Dire Claw and Close Combat, along with pivoting moves like U-turn, allowing Poison teams to preserve momentum (while threatening poison with Poison Touch). Paired with Switcheroo, it is able to deny opposing walls like Toxapex to Recover or Corviknight to Roost recovery by passing them the Choice Scarf and forcing them to lock into one move. (I would discuss Switcheroo towards the end of the paragraph instead, as it's not the primary reason to use Choice Scarf Sneasler) It's Its base 120 Speed allows it to outspeed most of the metagame (including Regieleki and prominent fast Choice Scarf users such as Iron Treads, Iron Valiant, Roaring Moon, and Cinderace) with Choice Scarf, making it a reliable cleaner. Dire Claw paired with it's Sneasler's ability Poison Touch gives it a 60% chance to inflict Ppoison upon opponents foes, barring Steel- and opposing Poison-type Pokemon. (I would excise the next sentence and mention that Dire Claw can inflict paralysis and sleep here instead) Dire Claw alone gives it a 30% chance to inflict status onto opponents trying to set-up. (Mention how inflicting the status helps; e.g. paralysing/putting a sweeper to sleep in a pinch, inflicting gradual chip damage with poison which can help wear down problem walls for Poison such as Ting-Lu etc.) With the threat of Switcheroo, it prevents Pokemon like Dragonite to use Dragon Dance as it doesn't outspeed Choice Scarf Sneasler at +1. (Merge with the above mention of Switcheroo; also, Scarf Sneasler doesn't exactly "prevent" Dragonite from using Dragon Dance, but it can lock it into that move) Even though Steel-type Pokemon are immune to the threat imposed by Dire Claw, Sneasler's access to Close Combat allows it to sweep Steel teams effortlessly (Effortlessly definitely not the right word here because of Gholdengo, Corv and Klefki; I would rewrite this sentence to instead stay that Sneasler can still threaten most Steel-types immune to its Dire Claw, such as Heatran and Iron Treads). Maximum Attack and Speed EVs are used to ensure that Sneasler produces the maximum amount of damage while outspeeding the majority of the metagame. (Pretty self-explanatory, you could remove this sentence. If you want to keep it, move it to the top of the paragraph) Choice Scarf is the perfect (avoid the use of the word "perfect" here, Sneasler has many sensible alternatives depending on team comp) item for Sneasler as it allows it to outspeed Choice Specs Flutter Mane, and opposing Choice Scarf threats like Hisuian Samurott, Enamorus-Incarnate, Gholdengo and Sandy Shocks, preventing them from sweeping in the endgame. (Sneasler isn't exactly a great answer to Sandy Shocks, and this set is walled by Gholdengo. Move this discussion up to the top of the paragraph.)

Sneasler pairs well with Amoonguss which threatens to Spore opposing threats and helps cripple walls like threatens Quagsire and Gastrodon with Giga Drain. In addition to that, it Amoonguss can use Foul Play to prevent ("prevent" is wrong; use "threaten" or something to that effect and rewrite accordingly) Ghost-type threats like Dragapult and Mimikyu to set up from setting up with Dragon Dance (Mimikyu doesn't use Dragon Dance). It can switch into Great Tusk and Landorus-Incarnate (Amoonguss cannot really switch into Landorus even if fully Sp Def invested; 252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Earth Power vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Amoonguss: 188-224 (43.5 - 51.8%) -- 10.9% chance to 2HKO. It also fears the rare Psychic) and threaten Spore or Giga Drain. With Regenerator, it can easily regain health and come in repeatedly and safely thanks to the momentum provided by Sneasler's U-Turn. Alolan Muk is also a great partner for Sneasler as it provides an immunity to Psychic-type attacks which Sneasler is greatly vulnerable to. It also helps prevent Hisuian Zoroark and Spectrier to break from breaking through (by threatening them with Knock Off and having great special bulk? It's not particularly great against Hisuian Zoroark, as it doesn't want to be burnt, but it is an option). Teammates like Corrosion Glimmora and Iron Moth can cripple Gholdengo (Gholdengo blocks Corrosion Toxic) and Corviknight which Sneasler can't break on it's own. (Break up Glimmora and Iron Moth into two separate sentences, they perform different functions. Glimmora can also set Stealth Rock to support Sneasler's cleaning capability, and spin away hazards to prevent Sneasler from being worn down, as well as smack slow Great Tusk with Energy Ball and act as a Ground immunity that Sneasler can pivot into with Air Balloon). Toxapex can set up Toxic Spikes for Sneasler to clean easily or U-Turn into answers (clumsy phrasing; implies Toxapex itself is U-Turning) while the opposing team takes residual damage. It also forms a Regenerator core with Amoonguss, (and Galarian Slowking?) and aids Alolan Muk against set-up with Haze. Clodsire is a great teammate to absorb attacks from Iron Valiant and Flutter Mane once Sneasler has been chipped down (Sneasler has great MUs against these mons regardless of its current HP; probably better to say Clodsire can switch into these threats if Sneasler is locked into Close Combat, or has lost its Scarf via Switcheroo. Clod also switches into Ghold). It's Its access to Recover and Earthquake make it an incredible asset to Sneasler (How? Earthquake hits non-Balloon Gholdengo; Sneasler can U-Turn into Clod to give it chances to Recover). In essence, Sneasler is aided by several teammates which slowly wear down opponents with their bulk and recovery, allowing Sneasler to clean effortlessly (again, not necessarily, especially against teams like Ghost or Steel) during the endgame with its strong STABs, while Sneasler provides momentum with U-Turn and breaks opposing momentum (do you mean something like cripples opposing walls here?) with Switcheroo for its teammates so that they can come in safely into threats and slowly cripple them (substitute "cripple" for something like "break them down"). (Mention Galarian Slowking in this paragraph; it synergizes incredibly well with Sneasler. The two can pivot between each other with U-Turn and Chilly Reception, Galarian Slowking appreciates Sneasler breaking through Steels and spreading status, Galarian Slowking can support Sneasler by threatening opposing Poison-types with Future Sight, it can switch into Gholdengo and threaten it with Flamethrower as well as take one Earth Power from Landorus and OHKO it in return with Ice Beam if running Assault Vest etc.) (I would also mention Salazzle as an answer to Corv and Ghold, and how offensive Iron Moth can benefit from Choice Scarf Sneasler's speed control beating threats like Flutter Mane, Chien-Pao etc.)

Choice Scarf Sneasler is one of the best cleaners for Poison teams, equipped with powerful STAB moves like Dire Claw and Close Combat along with U-turn, allowing Poison teams to preserve momentum while threatening poison with Poison Touch. Choice Scarf is a great item for Sneasler as it allows it to outspeed Choice Specs Flutter Mane, and opposing Choice Scarf threats like Hisuian Samurott and Enamorus. Its base 120 Speed allows it to outspeed most of the metagame, including Regieleki and prominent fast Choice Scarf users such as Iron Treads, Iron Valiant, Roaring Moon, and Cinderace with Choice Scarf, making it a reliable cleaner (merge these two sentences as they are both about mons Sneasler outspeeds thanks to its speed tier + scarf). Dire Claw paired with Sneasler's ability Poison Touch gives it a 60% chance to inflict poison upon foes, barring Steel- and opposing Poison-type Pokemon (no need to specify this), which helps to gradually wear down walls like Ting-Lu and Quagsire, along with a 30% chance to inflict paralysis and sleep, disrupting the threat that opposing sweepers pose to the team. While Steel-types are immune to its Dire Claw, it can still threaten some of them such as Heatran and Iron Treads with Close Combat. Paired with Switcheroo, it is able to deny opposing walls like Toxapex or Corviknight recovery by passing them the Choice Scarf and forcing them to lock into one move. With the threat of Switcheroo, it reduces the threat of Pokemon like Dragon Dance Dragonite as it doesn't outspeed Choice Scarf Sneasler at +1 (I'm not sure that Dragonite is ever DDancing a second time against Sneasler, and since you said that Scarf Sneasler still outspeeds +1 Dnite, the latter can lock itself into a different move like Earthquake and be super troublesome for Poison teams. I think the example is fine though, maybe just remove the second half of the sentence).

Sneasler pairs well with Amoonguss which threatens to Spore foes and threatens Quagsire and Gastrodon with Giga Drain. In addition to that, Amoonguss can use Foul Play to threaten Ghost-type wallbreakers like Dragapult and Mimikyu from setting up with Dragon Dance and Swords Dance respectively. It can switch into Great Tusk and Landorus-Therian and threaten Spore or Giga Drain (you already have a sentence about things you threaten with Spore & Giga Drain so merge both - also, specify that although Amoonguss can deal with Lando, it gets completely countered by the Sub Bulk Up set). With Regenerator, it can easily regain health and come in repeatedly and safely thanks to the momentum provided by Sneasler's U-Turn (move Toxapex and Galarking here, then add the sentece about the Regenerator they form and how it pairs well with Sneasler's U-turn). Alolan Muk is also a great partner for Sneasler as it provides an immunity to Psychic-type attacks and boasts great special bulk which allows it to which Sneasler is greatly vulnerable to. It also tank attacks from helps prevent Choice Specs Dragapult and Spectrier from breaking through by threatening and threaten them with Knock Off and having great special bulk. Teammates like Glimmora can set Stealth Rock to support Sneasler's cleaning capability, and spin away hazards to prevent Sneasler from being worn down, as well as threaten slow Great Tusk with Energy Ball and act as a Ground immunity that Sneasler can pivot into with Air Balloon. Iron Moth and Salazzle can help threaten foes like Corviknight, Gholdengo and Klefki which Sneasler can't break. (mention here how Salazzle and Glimm can also form a Corrosion core which really helps in the mirror Poison matchup, which Sneasler struggles against) Offensive Iron Moth greatly benefits from Choice Scarf Sneasler's speed control beating threats like Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao (allowing it to take out what in return?). Galarian Slowking also synergizes incredibly well with Sneasler as they form a pivoting core . The two can pivot between each other with U-Turn and Chilly Reception. Galarian Slowking appreciates Sneasler breaking through Steels and spreading status and it can support Sneasler by threatening opposing Poison-types with Future Sight, switching in on . It can also switch into Gholdengo and threatening it with Flamethrower, as well as take tanking one Earth Power from Landorus and OHKOing it in return with Ice Beam if its running Assault Vest. Toxapex can set up Toxic Spikes for Sneasler to clean easily while the opposing team takes residual damage. It also forms a Regenerator core with Amoonguss and Galarian Slowking and aids Alolan Muk against set-up with Haze. Clodsire is a great teammate to absorb attacks from Iron Valiant, Flutter Mane and Gholdengo (try finding different examples, you've used Flutt and Ghold already) once Sneasler has been chipped down as it can switch into these threats if Sneasler is locked into Close Combat, or has lost its Scarf via Switcheroo. Its access to Recover and Earthquake make it an incredible asset to Sneasler as Earthquake hits non-Balloon Gholdengo and Sneasler can U-Turn into Clodsire to give it chances to Recover. In essence, Sneasler is aided by several teammates which slowly wear down opponents with their bulk and recovery, allowing Sneasler to clean well during the endgame with its strong STABs, while Sneasler provides momentum with U-Turn and breaks opposing momentum with Switcheroo for its teammates so that they can come in safely into threats and slowly break them down. (we don't really do conclusions or closing sentences, but if you wanted to have that sentence you should add it in the first paragraph but reword it so that it's not about how Sneasler is aided by teammates but rather how it works with with them)
