Jynx @ Normalium Z
Ability: Dry Skin
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Lovely Kiss
- Nasty Plot
- Ice Beam
- Psyshock

Jynx solidifies itself as one of PU’s best wallbreakers and sweepers due to its solid, near-unresisted offensive typing, which becomes even harder to deal with because of Psyshock hitting traditional special walls that would check it on the physical side, and ability to augment its already decent Speed and high Special Attack with Z-Lovely Kiss and Nasty Plot, respectively. Lovely Kiss is a major factor in what makes Jynx so threatening due to it incapacitating checks, like Dark-types wielding Sucker Punch, and helping Jynx create setup opportunities for itself. Jynx has even prompted the rise in Choice Scarf Swanna and Togedemaru, since Primeape, the most popular Choice Scarf user, Speed ties with it at +1. However, Jynx has lackluster bulk and poor defensive typing, leaving it susceptible to all forms of priority sans Aqua Jet as well as to Stealth Rock, although it can play around Dark-types with Sucker Punch. Entry hazard removers such as Hitmonchan, Skuntank, and Swanna make for good partners so that Jynx can switch more freely and better handle the forms of priority it isn't weak to.

Jynx solidifies itself as one of PU’s best wallbreakers and sweepers due to its solid, near-unresisted offensive typing and ability to augment its already decent Speed and high Special Attack with Z-Lovely Kiss and Nasty Plot, respectively. Lovely Kiss is a major factor in what makes Jynx so threatening due to it incapacitating foes and helping Jynx create setup opportunities for itself, the combination of Lovely Kiss and Nasty Plot giving Jynx the ability to play around Dark-types with Sucker Punch such as Skuntank, and Z-Lovely Kiss increasing its Speed by +1, making revenge killing it a bit harder. Strong special wallbreakers such as Drampa and Pyroar make for good partners, as they can wear down numerous specially bulky Pokemon for Jynx such as Lanturn and Regirock. Jynx isn’t without its faults, however. Its bulk is lackluster, and as is its defensive typing, which leaves it susceptible to all forms of priority sans Aqua Jet, and Stealth Rock, as well. Despite these issues, however, Jynx is without a doubt a threat that needs to be accounted for when building, and definitely worth your time.
Okay so I didn't want to QC it the way I usually do, but rather just suggest things that I'd like to see integrated into it;
  • You don't actually mention how it affects the metagame that it's in. It basically neuters most of its slow checks with Lovely Kiss and even prompted the rise of both Choice Scarf Swanna and Togedemaru just because Primeape tied with it when at +1.
  • Combine the flaws part and the teammates part. You should be saying what its flaws are then mentioning teammates that can help with that.
  • I would also like you to put some emphasis on how difficult its STAB combo is to wall because of Psyshock hitting the physical side, meaning conventional special walls have trouble with it.
  • Basically you can talk about how easily it can setup and play around Sucker Punch users and integrate the aforementioned points to help explain its overall effectiveness.
Tag me once you've done this.

(end sentence saying how teams always need to prep for it and that's it's always a decent choice for teams)
Looks better. QC approved.

Despite its hindrances. (remove period) , (AC) Jynx is a threat that teams should prepare be prepared for (less repetitive with the next bit), and is definitely a solid pick for teams.
