[OVERVIEW]
<p>Foongus's not the curly one older brother, Amoonguss, is a prominent force in the VGC 2011 metagame. It The former optional is only useful when combined used together with Amoonguss, but as a back up. To set up Trick Room successfully, players will often sacrifice Amoonguss with by using Rage Powder. Using both Foongus and Amoonguss allows players to continue to have Spore support after Amoonguss sacrifices himself. Due to his lower Speed stat, Foongus can out-speed everything in Trick Room with a slower faster since Trick Room is already in effect, Foongus is 'faster' Spore than Amoonguss.</p>

<p>This set is meant to be brought into the game after Trick Room has been set up, alongside an effective attacker or sweeper?. After Foongus takes enters the field, he can render almost not all any opposing Pokemon useless with his slow Spore. While your opponent's Pokemon is sleeping, Your attacker or sweeper? can knock the other out one of your opponent's Pokemon while the other one sleeps and to prevent your opponent from attacking entirely just varying sentence structure here. Foongus is slower than Musharna, Gigalith, Escavalier, Ferrothorn, and doesn't have to Speed tie with Reuniclus, Cofagrigus, and other opposing Amoonguss. Most importantly, this allows Foongus to put Musharna and Reuniclus to sleep before they can hit him with a Psychic, and put also Amoonguss to sleep before Amoonguss he puts any of your pokemon to sleep. This provides it Foongus with a small advantage over Amoongus while still being able to assisting a sweept in Trick Room. Protect can guard Foongus for a turn, and is just a good move in general. Protect can be used to scout for the opponent's moves and Rage Powder can be used to draw moves away from your teammate, comma instead of ; possibly saving them and wasting an the opponent's turn. For example, if you have a Reuniclus beside or alongside of your Foongus, you can draw Bisharps's Sucker Punch away from Reuniclus, and while taking no damage. Giga Drain prevents allows Foongus from being not to be a complete Taunt bait, and can hit Jellicent and Terrakion for decent damage. Here are some calculations against Jellicent and Terrakion. Foogus deals 24%-30% to a 252 HP / 4 SpDef Jellicent, 28%-35% to a 4 HP / 0 SpDef Jellicent, and 35%-40% to a 4 HP / 0 SpDef Terrakion.
<ul class="damage_calculation">
<li>Giga Drain vs. 252/4 Jellicent 24% - 30%</li>
<li>Giga Drain vs. 4/0 Jellicent 28% - 35%</li>
<li>Giga Drain vs. 4/0 Terrakion 35% - 40%</li>

<p>The EV spread maximizes his defenses to take the most advantage of out of Evolite. The best Trick Room partners for Foongus are Reuniclus and Jellicent. Both hold the offensive presence needed to attack sleeping foes, and Jellicent enjoys Foongus taking Grass- and Electric-type attacks with Rage Powder. As previously stated, Amoonguss is necessary to justify the use of Foongus on your team in the first place. Gigalith is a another great partner in Trick Room, as Foongus can draw away Grass- and Fighting-type moves that Gigalith hates while taking almost no damage,. and This allows Gigalith to scores many OHKOs with Rock Slide, while Foongus can put sleep whichever of your opponent's Pokemon which you can't OHKO to sleep.</p>
[Other Options]
<space>
<p>Focus Sash can be used to ensure it he survives a hit, but it is generally an inferior option to Eviolite. Mental Herb can protect Foongus from priority Taunts only used once, but the absence of Eviolite really hurts Foongus's bulk.</p>
[Checks AND Counters]
<space>
<p>Conkeldurr is immune to Foongus's Spores thanks to the Flame Orb he generally holds, but his Mach Punches and Drain Punches can easily be pulled from their proper intended target by with Rage Powder. The move Safeguard protects the opponent's apostrophePokemon from Spore. Pokemon that holding the optional Lum Berry can shrug off a Spore and fire back an attack. Prankster Taunts can prevent Foongus from using Spore, Rage Powder, or Protect; and Prankster Substitutes can block Foongus's Spore before he can use it.</p>

EDIT 2: UPDATED
That's fine, don't worry. There's no rule against posting in old threads in C&C, we'll get to them eventually.
Your check is pretty good! A few things though:
Please don't use bright colors. Your check should be as easy to read as possible, so dark colors are best, and bolding helps point out changes that might be hard to see (a lone comma, for example)
SpDef is correct, not SpD.
Outspeed is one word.
If you haven't already, familiarize yourself with Smogon's Spelling and Grammar Standards.

OK! :D Yep, I have seen that Announcement thread. Just that I occasionally miss out some things :o
Thanks to all those who helped :)
Oh and should the EV spread be changed? I think it needs QC to weigh in though.
edit: oh yea, updated the check!

Being an idiot I forgot about this after hiatus + end of VGC 2011. Will continue updating and finish this thing.
Edit: Think I got all sandshrewz edits, time to seek out some other GP checks.

Em... You still missed out the hyphens after each type name in the AC. For example it should be Electric-type instead of Electric type. Actually it's better to implement changes after you get an offical check, but never mind since you already did so. :)
My first analysis, so please point out any formating errors.

Protect can be used to scout for the opponent's moves and Rage Powder can be used to is useful to draw moves away from your Foonguss's teammate, possibly saving them it and wasting your opponent's turn. For example, if you have a Reuniclus beside your Foongus, you can draw Bisharps's Sucker Punch away from Reuniclus, while taking no damage. (I don't think you really need to explain rage powder, but this is up to you) Giga Drain allows Foongus to not be complete Taunt bait, (make sure to remove the comma) be able to do something if Taunt is used on it and can hits (make sure not to miss the added "s") Jellicent and Terrakion for decent damage. Here are some calculations against Jellicent and Terrakion.
Mental Herb can protects (make sure not to miss the added "s") Foongus from priority Taunt
Prankster Taunts can prevent Foongus from using Spore, Rage Powder, or Protect; and additionally, Prankster Substitutes can block Foongus's Spore

Not to shit on your amateur check, but I already have two full GP checks. At this point is more of what each person thinks sounds best, and I don't think thats worth changing.
After you've applied both gp checks, it should be 2/2 and give it a DONE tag. :)
