[SET COMMENTS]
Cloyster acts as an entry hazard lead on hyper offense teams that can also threaten a sweep thanks to Shell Smash. Shell Smash gives Cloyster the ability to outspeed and threaten out Great Tusk and non-Choice Scarf variants of Koraidon and Miraidon, as well as break through Corviknight. Rock Blast gives Cloyster a way to OHKO Iron Bundle and Chien-Pao. Tera Ghost prevents opposing spinners from removing the hazards Cloyster sets and provides an immunity to Fighting-type attacks, such as Koraidon's Close Combat and Breloom's Mach Punch. Cloyster fits on hyper offense teams where its Spikes weaken foes for setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Koraidon, Double Dance Miraidon, Iron Moth, and Swords Dance Chien-Pao. Cloyster has no way to remove opposing hazards, so partners such as Hatterene and Great Tusk can act as a form of hazard control, letting Cloyster and its teammates, such as Chien-Pao and Breloom, maintain their Focus Sashes. Cloyster also struggles to make progress against Toxapex, Gholdengo, and Kingambit, so partners that can threaten them such as Great Tusk, Kingambit, Chien-Pao, Hatterene, and Taunt Koraidon are appreciated. Grimmsnarl also pairs well with Cloyster by providing dual screens support, which lets Cloyster and its teammates set up much more easily. Gholdengo can also keep Cloyster's Spikes on the field, and in return, Cloyster takes on Ting-Lu for it. Chien-Pao and Koraidon are especially noteworthy partners, since they appreciate its Spikes and can overwhelm Toxapex for Cloyster.

Cloyster acts as a suicide an entry hazard lead on hyper offense teams that can use also threaten the opposing team thanks Shell Smash in conjunction with Spikes to force progress on Hyper Offense teams. Shell Smash gives Cloyster the ability to outspeed and threaten out non-Choice Scarf variants of Koraidon and Miraidon, (RC) and Great Tusk. Rock Blast gives Cloyster a way to OHKO Iron Bundle and Chien-Pao as well as threaten Skeledirge. Focus Sash lets Cloyster reliably get at least a single Spike or a Shell Smash off as a lead. Tera Ghost prevents opposing Rapid Spinners Spin users alternatively, "spinners" is accepted from removing the hazards Cloyster sets and provides an immunity to Fighting-type attacks, such as Koraidon's Close Combat and Breloom's Mach Punch. Cloyster fits on Hyper Offense hyper offense teams, so where its Spikes weaken foes for setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Koraidon, Double Dance Miraidon, Iron Moth, and Swords Dance Chien-Pao. pair well by also appreciating Cloyster's Spikes. Cloyster pairs well with Great Tusk, since Great Tusk the latter can act as a form of hazard removal while also forming a hazard stacking core with it. you mention Great Tusk as hazard control in the next sentence, and I doubt you are running Stealth Rock Great Tusk on hyper offense outside of a lead itself. Cloyster has no way to remove opposing hazards, so partners such as Hatterene and Great Tusk can act as a form of hazard control, letting Cloyster and its teammates, such as Chien-Pao and Breloom, maintain its their Focus Sashes. mention that Hatterene also completely blocks Toxapex for Cloyster Cloyster also struggles to make progress against Toxapex and Kingambit, so partners that can wear them down threaten them such as Great Tusk and Taunt variants of Koraidon are appreciated. "wear them down" doesn't make much sense in the context of Kingambit, and the sentence makes it sound like Cloyster is something you are going to be saving for late-game. Mention how Grimmsnarl can provide dual screens support for the aforementioned setup sweepers (by making it easier for them to set up and harder for them to be revenge killed) and possibly how Gholdengo can preserve Cloyster's Spikes.

Cloyster acts as an entry hazard lead on hyper offense teams that can also threaten the opposing team a sweep thanks to Shell Smash -very minor thing, but I think this way Cloyster's sweeping capabilities are brought forth a bit more, which is nice because it is a pretty good sweeper-. Shell Smash gives Cloyster the ability to outspeed and threaten out Great Tusk and non-Choice Scarf variants of Koraidon and Miraidon and Great Tusk. -Shell Smash is also necessary to pressure Corviknight- Rock Blast gives Cloyster a way to OHKO Iron Bundle and Chien-Pao as well as threaten Skeledirge -Skeledirge doesn't really mind eating Rock Blast, it can Recover it off and burn you-. Focus Sash lets Cloyster reliably get at least a single Spike or a Shell Smash off as a lead. Tera Ghost prevents opposing spinners from removing the hazards Cloyster sets and provides an immunity to Fighting-type attacks, such as Koraidon's Close Combat and Breloom's Mach Punch. Cloyster fits on hyper offense teams where its Spikes weaken foes for setup sweepers such as Swords Dance Koraidon, Double Dance Miraidon, Iron Moth, and Swords Dance Chien-Pao. Cloyster has no way to remove opposing hazards, so partners such as Hatterene and Great Tusk can act as a form of hazard control, letting Cloyster and its teammates, such as Chien-Pao and Breloom maintain their Focus Sashes. Cloyster also struggles to make progress against Toxapex and Kingambit, so partners that can threaten them such as Great Tusk, Hatterene, and Taunt Koraidon are appreciated. Grimmsnarl also pairs well with Cloyster by providing dual screens support, which lets Cloyster and its teammates set up much easier. Gholdengo can also keep Cloyster's Spikes on the field, while Cloyster takes on Ting-Lu for it. -I think it is worth noting that Koraidon and Chien-Pao can both overwhelm Toxapex for it. Also, you deservedly mention Toxapex and Kingambit as the main obstacles; be sure to add Gholdengo to this list too-
