[SET]
name: Choice Specs
move 1: Moonblast
move 2: Focus Blast
move 3: Psyshock / Trick
move 4: Thunderbolt / Grass Knot / Disable
item: Choice Specs
ability: Quark Drive
nature: Timid
evs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
* Psyshock hits Iron Moth and Clodsire.
* Thunderbolt hits Corviknight, while Grass Knot is able to OHKO Dondozo.
* Trick + Disable can reliably beat Weakness Policy Ting-Lu, Clodsire, and non-Mental Herb Corviknight.
* Against Espathra, Iron Valiant should always use Moonblast for the best chance of winning. Moonblast has a favorable chance to OHKO non-specially defensive variants which win if they use Calm Mind.
* If running Trick + Disable, you should be cautious of Skeledirge and Bellibolt because they can beat Iron Valiant after Trick gives them Choice Specs.

*Pyshock hits Iron Moth, Clodsire, and Salazzle. (Salazzle can Protect and then Disable.)
*Thunderbolt hits Corviknight, Azumarill, and Dondozo, the latter of which is also hit hard by Grass Knot. Grass Knot can be used instead of Thunderbolt to kill Dondozo.

( I'm not sure about this entire bit above about Thunderbolt, it hitting Azumarill is irrelevant due to it only beating Stall and Life Orb, which are two pretty unused sets. Grass Knot allows you to kill Dondozo and Thunderbolt won't do enough damage, you should list different examples because of this. )

*Trick and Disable can be used in tandem to cause foes to Struggle. Trick can also be used without Disable to cripple bulkier Pokemon who don't want to be choice locked.
*Against Espathra, always use Moonblast for best chance of winning. Moonblast has a favorable chance to OHKO non-Specially Defensive variants which beat you if they use Calm Mind.
*If running Trick and Disable, some Pokemon to watch out for include Skeledirge, Bellibolt, and Volcarona as they have a chance to OHKO after receiving Choice Specs.

* 1-2 bullets on moves / items / abilities if they’re not self-explanatory, no need to explain if not
* Bullet on EV spread if it’s not 252/252
* 1-2 bullets on general usage tips

QC 2

Trick and Disable can be used in tandem to cause foes to Struggle. Trick can also be used without Disable to cripple bulkier Pokemon who don't want to be choice locked.

Please add examples here.

*Pyshock

Spell this right, and put a space between the asterisk and the first letter of each line.

Check your examples from the Trick + Disable section change in DMs with me, I'll give you a 2/2 there.

[UT]

* Thunderbolt hits Corviknight while Grass Knot is able OHKO Dondozo.

This sentence needs a comma after Corviknight and a "to" between able and OHKO.

Otherwise, Lucario please implement Lumii's check as-is and credit both of us!
