[piikachuu]

i'll take a closer look when i get home, but try to limit how many commas you add Kingler12345 in your checks since they do seem awkward and slow down reading

Magical Magmortar, if there are any markings in red that don't exist, they're things that i felt were unnecessary from the amcheck

[Overview]

<p>In a tier filled with Rock-types, Gigalith struggles to stand out. Gigalith often finds itself as a Custap Lead that sets up Stealth Rock, (AC) and then finishes with an attack. Mono(it sounds better how i have done it IMO, and i haven't seen any analyses with mono [typing] soooo) Its sole rRock typing makes it outclassed offensively by Golem, (AC) and defensively by Regirock. A stronger Rock Blast and Explosion might make it seem better than Golem, but Golem gets STAB on Earthquake and an Electric-type immunity which makes Golem better overall. Another(all this time you were talking about how it sucks; hence 'another' is out of place)Gigalith's main selling point for Gigalith is Sturdy, (AC) which as it lets you Gigalith survive a hit, and set up Stealth Rock. Also, great offensive presence and a powerful Explosion are good reasons to choose Gigalith if you need a suicide lead.</p>

[SET]
name: Custap Lead
move 1: Stealth Rock
move 2: Explosion
move 3: Rock Blast
move 4: Earthquake
item: Custap Berry
ability: Sturdy
nature: Adamant
evs: 196 HP / 252 Atk / 60 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

<p>Gigalith makes for a great suicide lead because of its high aAttack. This set functions to set up Stealth Rock quickly,(RC) and then hit with a powerful attack. Explosion is the main attack for Gigalith, letting it go out with a bang. Rock Blast breaks Substitute and Focus Sash, and Earthquake hits Rock-(hyphen) and Steel-(hyphen)types trying to that would normally switch in on Gigalith. Sturdy lets Gigalith survive any hit and set up Stealth Rock guarantees that Gigalith will almost always set up Stealth Rock.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>The EVs outspeed uninvested Carracosta and go for maximum aAttack, which is also further raised by an Adamant nature. Custap Berry grants infinite lets it outspeed move before everything in the same priority bracket, but will always not prevent it from being outsped surpassed by priority moves. As far as partners go,(you're starting partners all of a sudden without any previous context, you could move this sentence below) Golurk, Haunter, and Drifblim are great offensive spinblockers and appreciate Stealth Rock. Stone Edge can be used over Rock Blast for added power; however, Rock Blast is much more helpful because it breaks Substitute. Normal Gem can be used as a way to boost the power of Explosion, but Custap is better because of its infinite speed pseudo-Speed boost it grants. Leftovers can be used for to survive through the match passive recovery, but Gigalith is usually seen better off as a suicide lead. Lum Berry can also be used to avoid status, but Custap Berry is more consistent, and helps Gigalith deal more damage (this just doesn't make sense). Gigalith fits in well on offensive teams, so offensive partners like such as Ludicolo, Sawk, and Braviary enjoy Stealth Rock and Explosion, against as both weaken walls to the point that the aforementioned Pokemon may are be able to break through them.</p>

[Other Options]

<p>Superpower can be used for a more powerful way to break through Rock-(hyphen) and Steel-(hyphen)types, but the Attack drop really hinders Gigalith. Autotomize can raise Gigalith's pitiful sSpeed, but it Gigalith is still quite vulnerable to priority, limiting the set's effectiveness overall. Choice Band can be used as an instant way to raise Gigalith's power, but Gigalith relies on its coverage and switching moves too much. Heavy Slam hits fellow Rock-(hyphen)types hard, but has a horrible offensive typing. Although Gigalith's main goal is to deal damage early-game, Toxic can be a surprise to physical walls who which take little damage from Gigalith's attacks.</p>

[Checks and Counters]

<p>Choice Band Sawk can break through sSturdy with Mold Breaker, and OHKOes Gigalith with Close Combat, making it a good counter. Wartortle is the next best counter to Gigalith, as because it takes Gigalith's damage with ease and beats Gigalith 1 on 1 one on one with Scald and Rapid Spin. Tangela can get around Gigalith by using Sleep Powdering on it and 2HKOing it with Giga Drain. Taunt Misdreavus shuts down Gigalith by using Taunting then using in conjunction with Will-oO-Wisp, rendering Gigalith harmless. Bulky Ground-types such as who Torterra beats Gigalith but cannot prevent Custap Stealth Rock, while Golurk gets around Stealth Rock 50% of the time with DynamicPunch, but although it is uncommonly used on Golurk. Marowak is a great answer to Gigalith because it can just Bonemerang hit Gigalith with Bonemerang because it gets through to bypass Sturdy by hitting twiceo times. Alomomola can live through any of Gigalith's attacks and heal off the damage with Wish or Regenerator.</p>

[Kingler]

Also, is it agreed that roles shouldn't be capitalized? In the overview, 'Lead' is capitalized.
/justasking

 

[Fuzznip]

It should be "Custap lead," as set names are not capitalized.

 

[Magical Magmortar]

This is done! I implemented the lead issues and stuff so this is good to go!
