[SET COMMENTS]
While 90 special attack might not seem that threatening at first, with a good speed stat, good natural bulk and an amazing defensive type, allowing it to fire off many hits on metagame staples like Mimikyu, Cyclizar and Kleavor, and not much want to switch in on its STAB that can hit most of the tier for huge neutral or super effective damage. It easily threatens out common Fairy types like Gardevoir, Enamarous-T and Mimikyu, and even against naturally bulky targets like Volcanion and Jirachi, it can usually score a 2HKO on them. STAB Vacuum Wave lets it be an effective revenge killer against a weakened sweeper like Revavroom and Maushold. Volt Switch also allows Cobalion to pivot on checks like Moltres, Slowbro and Basculegion-F to bring in a teammate that threatens them. With Focus Blast, Cobalion can notably always OHKO Assault Vest Cyclizar with standard EVs, and also OHKO Kleavor, while Aura Sphere boasts perfect accuracy, it might miss out on some important OHKOS, but it still can still OHKO important targets such as other Cobalions, and both options highly weaken one of the best checks to physically oriented Cobalion sets, Hippowdon. Tera Fighting is used for even more damage on its Fighting STABS and Tera Electric grants an immunity to paralysis from Pokemon such as Jirachi, it lets Cobalion hit even harder with Volt Switch, and also remove its weakness to the priority Mach Punch from Breloom and Conkeldurr.

This set can fit on many archetypes, from hyper offense to bulky offense and balance. It can bait out the checks to the Iron Defense Body Press set such as Hippowdown and Moltres, which clears the way for physical threats like Revavroom and Maushold, it can also provide opportunities to bring in frail teammates like Gengar and Thundurus-T through volt switch. Cobalion is also one of the few special attackers that can threaten Fezandipiti and Chansey for decent immediate damage without setup, forcing them to heal off the damage every time they switch into Cobalion's attacks, which lets Cobalion safely switch in teammates and that can threaten out these special walls like Bisharp, Okidogi and Zapdos-G. Special cleaners and sweepers like Jirachi, Gardevoir and Blastoise really enjoys getting their main checks weakened by Cobalion as well. This set really enjoys support from hazard setters like Forretress, Hippowdon and Empoleon to chip down its targets as well.

Cobalion is one of the most well-rounded Pokemon in the tier both offensively and defensively, and. While 90 special attack might not seem that threatening at first, with a speed that gets the jump on most of the metagame a good speed stat, good natural bulk and an amazing defensive type, it can allow it to fire off many hits on metagame staples like Mimikyu, Cyclizar and choice locked Kleavor, and not much want to switch in on its STAB that can hit most of the tier for huge neutral or super effective damage,. It easily threatens out common fairy types like Gardevoir, Enamarous and Mimikyu, and even against naturally bulky targets like Volcanion and Jirachi, it can usually score a 2HKO on them. STAB Vacuum Wave lets it be an effective revenge killer against a weakened sweeper like Revavroom and Maushold. Volt Switch also allows Cobalion to pivot on checks like Moltres, Slowbro and Basculegion-F to bring in a teammate that threatens them list some teammates that can do this and damage Basculegion-F, which resists both of it STABS. With Focus Blast, Cobalion can notably always OHKO assault vest Cyclizar with standard EVs, and also OHKO Entei after stealth rocks Entei is not a particularly notable ohko, so either add some more pokemon or remove it, while Aura Sphere might miss out on some OHKOS, it still can still OHKO important targets such as other Cobalions, and both options still have a very high odds to 2HKO one of the best checks to physically oriented Cobalion sets, Hippowdon. Tera fighting is used for even more damage on its fighting STABS and tera electric lets Cobalion hit even harder with Volt Switch and remove some of its weakness. Explain in more detail what the changed typing affects.

This set can fit on most teams that lean towards the offensive side, from Hyper Offense teams to Bulky Offense teams. It can bait out the checks to the Iron Defense Body Press set such as Hippowdown and Deoxys-Defense , which allows the partners of Cobalion like Revavroom and Maushold to do huge damage after their check gets weakened clears the way for physical threats like Revavroom and Maushold, it can also provide opportunities to bring in frail teammates through volt switch when Pokemon like Moltres try to switch on it. Cobalion is also one of the few special attackers that can threaten Fezandipiti and Chansey for decent immediate damage without setup, forcing them to heal off the damage every time they switch into Cobalion's attacks, which lets Cobalion safely switch in teammates that can threaten out these special walls. This set really enjoys support from hazard setters like Forretress, Deoxys-Defense and Kleavor list some other, more relevant hazard setters to chip down its targets as well. The set can catch a lot of players off guard due to the prominence of Cobalion's other sets that mainly uses physical attacks. Cobalion's physical sets being more common.

This is an amateur QC made by a member who is not part of the QC team and therefore does NOT constitute an official Quality Check.

 

[Some random guy ya]

Why did I thought electric isnt weak to eq idk what was I thinking anyways most changes implemented " like Thundurus-T, Volcanion and Bisharp " was something the last QC added so I didn't change that

As I said in my post, my qc is an amateur check, which means that the writer of the analysis should not implement the changes in it until a QC team member validates it. You may try to revert back your changes using what I marked as to delete. Tagging Rarelyme to avoid any potential misunderstanding.

I built this based on fluff!! work. Tag me when implemented and try to read your text carefully to correct spelling mistakes because there are a few (for instance, types are always capitalized so you write Fairy and not fairy).

 

[Some random guy ya]

Sorry I didn't know how amateur check works hence I did the changes

Rarelyme qc 2 implemented, tried my best to correct some spelling mistakes, up for grammar check I think GP Team
