[SET COMMENTS]

Galarian Moltres serves as a unique setup sweeper on hyper offense teams thanks to its ability to effortlessly set up Nasty Plot against metagame staples such as Tornadus-T and Gholdengo with its solid defensive and offensive profile. Agility allows Galarian Moltres to outpace dangerous revenge killers such as Mega Lopunny, Zamazenta, and Choice Scarf Kartana. However, Taunt is also a valuable alternative to Agility in order to shut down defensive checks like Haze Toxapex and Unaware Clodsire while also preventing common status spreaders like Landorus-T, Ferrothorn, and Heatran from limiting its sweep. Heavy-Duty Boots negates chip damage from entry hazards and allows Galarian Moltres to set up more reliably. Flyinium Z is used in order to quickly eliminate bulkier threats such as Toxapex and Ferrothorn without risking a miss due to Hurricane's poor accuracy; however, this leaves Galarian Moltres unable to Terastallize against threats such as Tapu Lele. Sitrus Berry is another option that lets Galarian Moltres maintain its health and trigger Berserk twice. Galarian Moltres is a great user of Terastallization, using Tera Steel to set up on its standard checks in Tapu Lele, Toxapex, Tapu Koko, and Clefable. Tera Steel also lets it resist many forms of priority including, but not limited to, Mega Lopunny and Mega Medicham's Fake Out, Weavile's Ice Shard, and Mega Scizor's Bullet Punch. However, Galarian Moltres's new weaknesses mean that it has a harder time setting up on Mega Loppuny, Heatran, and Landorus-T while also being susceptible to other forms of priority like Kingambit's Sucker Punch.

Galarian Moltres enjoys dual screens support to let it set up incredibly easily, so Tapu Koko makes for a great partner as both a solid pivot and dual screens setter. Galarian Moltres can struggle against threats such as Mega Diancie, Iron Valiant, Kingambit, and Mega Tyranitar, so Mega Scizor and Hawlucha make for great partners to handle its checks offensively; in return, Galarian Moltres can break through Pokemon such as Toxapex, Landorus-T, and Gholdengo for them. Fighting-types such as Urshifu-R, Iron Valiant, and Zamazenta are also good partners that can check threats like Heatran, Kingambit, and Garganacl for Galarian Moltres. Iron Valiant, in particular, also synergizes well with dual screens Tapu Koko, making it a fantastic cleaner after Galarian Moltres has broken through the opposing team.

Galarian Moltres serves as a unique setup sweeper on Hyper Offense teams thanks to its ability to effortlessly setup on metagame staples such as Tornadus-T Therian or Gholdengo with its solid defensive and offensive profile. Additionally; it's also a great abuser of Terastalistion Terastallization, using Tera Steel to setup on its standard checks in Tapu Lele, Rotom-Wash, Toxapex, and Tapu Koko Clefable Tapu Koko is probably more relevant at the current moment, but this isn't necessarily an incorrect statement so up to you. Tera Steel also lets it resist many forms of priority including but not limited to Mega Lopunny and Mega Medicham's Fake Out, Weavile's Ice Shard, and Mega Scizor's Bullet Punch. At +2 Special Attack, Galarian Moltres becomes very difficult to defensively check thanks to its near unresisted STAB combination, allowing it to have favorable matchups into its potential checks such as Heatran, Garganacl, Rotom-Wash, or Toxapex. This seems like unnecessary stuff, no need to include that boosted Moltres can wear its checks down, or at least reword specifically to include Nasty Plot for clarity. Agility allows Galarian Moltres to outpace dangerous revenge killers such as Mega Lopunny, Dragapult, Zamazenta, and Choice Scarf Kartana. However; Taunt is also a valuable alternative to Agility in order shutdown defensive checks like Haze Toxapex, or Unaware Clodsire while also preventing common status spreaders like Landorus Therian Landorus-T, Ferrothorn, and Heatran from limiting its sweep. Galarian Moltres can also run a variety of items to fit its needs. Heavy Duty Boots is an option to negate chip damage from hazards and allows it to setup more reliably, while also letting it fit on more standard team structures like Bulky Offense. Flyinium Z is used in order to quickly eliminate bulkier threats such as Toxapex or Ferrothorn without risking a miss due to Hurricane's poor accuracy, however this leaves it unable to Terastalise Terastallize against threats such as Tapu Lele. Sitrus Berry is another option that lets Galarian Moltres maintain its health while letting it trigger its Berserk ability twice. Galarian Moltres also enjoys dual screens support to let it setup incredibly easily, so Tapu Koko makes for a great partner as both a solid pivot and dual screens setter. Galarian Moltres can also struggle against threats such as Mega Diancie, Iron Valiant, Kingambit, and Mega Tyranitar, so Mega Scizor makes for a great partner to handle all of its checks. In return, Galarian Moltres can check Toxapex, Landorus Therian, and Gholdengo for it i would reword this to break through, since Moltres-G isn't always going to hard switch into these Pokemon, and start setting up. Fighting types such as Urshifu Rapid Strike, Iron Valiant, and Zamazenta are also good partners that can check threats like Heatran, Kingambit, and Garganacl for Galarian Moltres. mention here that iron valiant also can clean up after molt-g has broken through the opposing team, especially when paired with screens koko. Galarian Moltres must also be sure to take precautions while Terastalised Terastallized, as it has a harder time setting up on threats such as Zamazenta i would remove Zamazenta from this list, it threatens to OHKO Moltres-G with Close Combat anyways, Mega Lopunny, Heatran, and Landorus, while being more susceptible to other forms of priority like Kingambit's Sucker Punch.

In return, Galarian Moltres can breakthrough Toxapex, Landorus Therian, and Gholdengo for it. think id rather see smth like lucha here bc msciz can struggle to check all of those when faced with rocks and lucha is a better fit for those teams (also leans more towards offensively checking them, which you can mention there too instead of just plainly saying it checks them) Fighting types such as Urshifu Rapid Strike, Iron Valiant, and Zamazenta are also good partners that can check threats like Heatran, Kingambit, and Garganacl for Galarian Moltres. Iron Valiant in particular also synergizes well with Screen Tapu Koko, making it a fantastic cleaner after Galarian Moltres has broken through the opposing team. Galarian Moltres must also be sure to take precautions while Terastallized, as it has a harder time setting up on threats such as Mega Lopunny, Heatran, and Landorus, while being more susceptible to other forms of priority like Kingambit's Sucker Punch. this sorta seems like fluff just being here at the end, would rather have this after the initial mention of tera (but possibly condensed if you can)

GP 1/1! This is a combined check with me and wotl; please implement this one and credit both of us!

notes for wotl

• generally we want to avoid plural moves; Nasty Plots -> Nasty Plot.
• When while is used to mean "on the other hand" it needs a comma before it. When while is used to mean "at the same time" (like it does here), it needs to not have a comma before it.
• "Heavy-Duty Boots" is singular.
• "eliminate bulkier threats such as Toxapex or Ferrothorn" threats is plural, so should be and.
• "unable to Terastallize against threats such as Tapu Lele." Nothing wrong with this, didn't need to be removed.
• Abuser / abuse should never be used in analyses. Always replace those.
