Boasting well-rounded stats in combination with a great offensive movepool, Solgaleo can serve as a great wallbreaker, being able to pressure common walls and offensive threats such as Eternatus, Regieleki, and Dragonite. Psychic Fangs lets Solgaleo threaten Eternatus, Metagrossite Great Tusk, and Urshifu-R while also being its best option against Walking Wake and Red Orb users like Raikou and Raging Bolt, whereas Wild Charge lets it target down Hisuian Samurott, Ho-Oh, and Venusaurite Corviknight while still hitting Urshifu-R. Flare Blitz pressures Steel-types such as the aforementioned Corviknight as well as Magearna and opposing Solgaleo, whereas Crunch is an alternative that lets Solgaleo handle Lunala and Red Orb Lugia more reliably while also being effective against Slowbro and Venusaurite Solgaleo. Morning Sun helps Solgaleo offset recoil damage while also allowing it to soft check -ate Speed Regieleki and Dragonite as well as non-Flamethrower Eternatus over the course of a game. Metagrossite is preferred, as it allows Solgaleo to outspeed Eternatus, Arceus formes, and Dark-types such as Roaring Moon and Hisuian Samurott, while Aerodactylite can be run if an ally is already running Metagrossite, giving Solgaleo extra firepower at the cost of a worse Speed tier. Solgaleo struggles against bulky Ground- and Water-types such as Arceus-Ground, Hippowdon, and Arceus-Water, making teammates that can reliably pressure these such as Urshifu-R, Raging Bolt, and Walking Wake appreciated; Raging Bolt and Walking Wake also appreciate Solgaleo's ability to pressure their checks in Galarian Slowking and Clodsire in return. Solgaleo struggles against Red Orb users like Raging Bolt, Raikou, and Landorus, making Pokemon that can take these on like defensive Eternatus and Venusaurite Clodsire good partners.

Boasting well-rounded stats in combination with a great offensive movepool, Solgaleo can serve as a great wallbreaker, being able to pressure common walls and offensive threats 3 important examples here, can pick from the later parts. Psychic Fangs lets Solgaleo threaten Eternatus, Metagrossite non-Pinsirite Great Tusk, and Urshifu-R while also being its best option against Red Orb users like? and Walking Wake, while Wild Charge lets it target down Hisuian Samurott, Arceus-Water, and Venusaurite Corviknight, while still hitting Urshifu-R. Flare Blitz pressures Steel-types such as the aformentioned Corviknight as well as Magearna and opposing Solgaleo, while Crunch is a niche alternative that lets Solgaleo handle Lunala and Red Orb Lugia more reliably, while also being effective against Venusaurite Solgaleo. Morning Sun helps Solgaleo offset recoil damage, while also allowing it to semi check -ate speed Regieleki and Dragonite as well as Non-Flamethrower Eternatus more reliably. Metagrossite is preferred, as it allows Solgaleo to outspeed Eternatus, fast Arceus formes (alternatively luc wwake / samu-h. can perhaps just say "and dark-types like harc and weavile") and Scizorite Weavile, while Aerodactylite can be run if an ally is already running Metagrossite at the cost of no longer outspeeding previously mentioned foes (but more wallbreaking potential. also mention notable KOs like with fat waters lug etc. maybe). Solgaleo struggles against bulky Ground-types such as Arceus-Ground and Hippowdon, making teammates that can reliably pressure these such as Urshifu-R, Weavile, and Great Tusk Walking Wake (special groundceus is a tusk check) good partners. Solgaleo also appreciates entry hazards from teammates like Hisuian Samurott, Hisuian Arcanine, and Arceus formes Garganacl (more relevant example cuz garg is better into ho-oh, which checks solg. up to u if u wanna mention that), as they help chip foes into KO range for it.

other content notes:
-special wallbreakers synergize well with solg cuz of its ability to deal with special walls
-solg struggles vs red orbers so it appreciates teammates that handle them
-solg fits well with other breakers/cleaners (lets say gfire) to pressure shared checks like waterceus and groundceus

Morning Sun helps Solgaleo offset recoil damage, while also allowing it to check -ate speed Regieleki and Dragonite as well as Non-Flamethrower Eternatus more reliably over a longer game. Metagrossite is preferred, as it allows Solgaleo to outspeed Eternatus, Arceus formes, and Dark-types such as Weavile Roaring Moon and Hisuian Samurott, while Aerodactylite can be run if an ally is already running Metagrossite, giving it extra firepower at the cost of underspeeding the aforementioned Pokemon no longer outspeeding previously mentioned foes. Solgaleo struggles against bulky Ground- and Water-types such as Arceus-Ground, Hippowdon, and Arceus-Water, making other wallbreakers like Urshifu-R, Gouging Fire, and Great Tusk (all three of these wallbreakers are kind of goobed by arc water. I'd switch out great tusk {as he's also goobed by arc ground} for Raging Bolt) good partners as they can together pressure and chip down these walls. Special Wallbreakers like offensive Eternatus, Walking Wake, and Raikou appreciate Solgaleo's ability to threaten special walls such as Galarian Slowking, Garganacl, and Clodsire. Solgaleo struggles a lot against Red Orb users like Raging Bolt, Raikou, and Landorus, making allies that can take these on like defensive Eternatus and Venusaurite Clodsire good partners.

fsr the second to last sentence irks me but i cant put into words why and its probably better to keep than to remove, maybe reword it if you can. otherwise the whole start is v solid didn't see anything that seemed inaccurate. ho-oh fits better as you say later that arc water is an issue and it is, but ho-oh isnt mentioned anywhere even though psyfangs doesnt 2hko

252 Atk Metagrossite Tough Claws Solgaleo Psychic Fangs vs. 248 HP / 208+ Def Ho-Oh: 160-189 (38.5 - 45.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO and then charge does this 252 Atk Metagrossite Tough Claws Solgaleo Wild Charge vs. 248 HP / 208+ Def Ho-Oh: 226-266 (54.4 - 64%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

so yea. crunch isnt niche, slowbro is worth mentioning where it is. sciz weavile is slower then meta solg but luc is not, so its way safer to just say rmoon as the more common venu/sharp sets are always underspeeding solg while meta/aero rmoon are none-existent. i said the underspeeding thing but it might be simpler to simply put 'giving it extra firepower at the cost of a worse speed tier'. solg gets ohkoed but psy fangs still 2hkos all those lads you mentioned and he's faster so i crossed a lot out.
