[SET COMMENTS]
Due to its incredible utility moves in Rapid Spin and Knock Off, longevity from Roost, and good typing, Quaquaval functions incredibly as an entry hazard remover and pivot and checks Pokemon like Chien-Pao, Roaring Moon, and Barraskewda. Quaquaval has a multitude of viable abilities, such as Scrappy to let Rapid Spin and Low Kick affect Ghost-types like Gholdengo and Ceruledge as well as Intimidate and Fluffy to further increase its bulk, allowing it to more safely switch in on top physical threats such as Roaring Moon and offensive Great Tusk. Thanks to U-turn, Quaquaval can allow frail attackers including Azelf and Meowscarada to safely switch in. Knock Off can be used for its general reliability and utility, while Low Kick wears down opposing Hisuian Goodra and Blissey. Quaquaval is quite vulnerable to special attackers such as Azelf, Deoxys-S, and Hisuian Electrode. To counter these significant threats, RegenVest users like Hisuian Goodra and Meloetta can be used to safely switch in on most of their attacks and threaten to deal decent chip damage to them with Knock Off or U-turn. Some teammates that benefit from Quaquaval's presence include Roaring Moon and Deoxys-S, as they don't enjoy taking Spikes damage, so they appreciate its hazard removing capabilities.

Due to its incredible movepool of utility moves in Rapid Spin and Knock Off, just zoom in to specify rapid spin and knock being the amazing utility moves, it's actual utility movepool isn't really impressive as well as Roost for longevity, Quaquaval functions incredibly as a hazard remover, as well as a pivot. definitely mention what it's able to switch into and check here, chien pao being the biggest mon for sure Quaquaval has a multitude of viable abilities such as Scrappy to benefit Rapid Spin, against what mons? and Intimidate or Fluffy to further increase Quaquaval's bulk, and allow it to more safely switch in on top physical threats such as Roaring Moon and offensive Great Tusk. Thanks to U-Turn, Quaquaval can allow frail attackers including Azelf and Meowscarada to safely switch in. However, Quaquaval is quite vulnerable to special attackers such as Azelf, Deoxys-S and Electrode-H. To counter these significant threats, regenvest capitalize this users like Goodra-H, and Meloetta can safely switch-in on most attacks, and can threaten considerable damage with Knock Off or U-Turn. Some teammates that benefit from Quaquaval's presence include Roaring Moon and Deoxys-S, while they don't enjoy taking Spike damage on every switch-in, appreciate Quaquaval's hazard removing capabilities via Rapid Spin.

the benefits of low kick weren't mentioned at all; it'd be cool to talk about the move reducing quaquaval's passivity against stuff like hoodra and blissey and even annoying ghosts with scrappy too. knock should also be highlighted more, the item removal vs corv and other mons is useful for wallbreakers that make contact like gapdos.

Due to its access of the incredible utility moves being Rapid Spin and Knock Off, as well as Roost for longevity, Quaquaval functions incredibly as a hazard remover, as well as a pivot. Since Chien-Pao is currently a significant threat, Quaquaval becomes quite viable in its ability to resist both of Chien-Pao's STABs and OHKO in return with Low Kick. Might be worth Roaring Moon and Barraskewda here as they are important mons Quaquaval checks defensively Quaquaval has a multitude of viable abilities such as Scrappy to let Rapid Spin and Low Kick affect Ghost Pokemon like Gholdengo and Ceruledge, as well as Intimidate or Fluffy to further increase Quaquaval's bulk, and allow it to more safely switch in on top physical threats such as Roaring Moon and offensive Great Tusk. Thanks to U-Turn, Quaquaval can allow frail attackers including Azelf and Meowscarada to safely switch in. Knock Off can be used to remove opposing Rocky Helmets equipped on Corviknight and Great Tusk as well as remove Choice Scarf from Pokemon such as Roaring Moon and Zapdos-G, while Low Kick is used to wear down opposing Goodra-H and Blissey. I know this is more a GP thing, however for Knock do you really need to mention specific items being removed and not just saying its nice utility generally (plus RMoon doesn't want to come in on Quaq, Zap-G rarely runs Scarf and just picking these random items to mention seems weird, just generalise it imo) However, Quaquaval is quite vulnerable to special attackers such as Azelf, Deoxys-S and Electrode-H. To counter these significant threats, Regenvest users like Goodra-H, and Meloetta can safely switch-in on most attacks, and can threaten considerable damage with Knock Off or U-Turn. They don't threaten considerable damage, they are utility moves Some teammates that benefit from Quaquaval's presence include Roaring Moon and Deoxys-S, while they don't enjoy taking Spike damage on every switch-in, appreciate Quaquaval's hazard removing capabilities via Rapid Spin. Might be worth mentioning its weaknesses as a physical wall (eg Banded Fighting types, Boulder, etc) and partners to possibly amend this (like Corv, Gholdengo, etc)
