Oricorio is one of the best setup sweepers in NU because of Quiver Dance and its ability to take advantage of Terastallization. Oricorio's ability to set up and sweep makes it very difficult to stay into because it can outpace threats like Choice Scarf Medicham, Jolteon, and Paldean Tauros. Air Slash is an alternative to Hurricane for a more reliable way to hit Vaporeon, Eelektross, and Dachsbun. Roost provides longevity to Oricorio, allowing it to stay in battle longer and sweep. Tera Grass resists Rock- and Water-type attacks from Lycanroc, Bruxish, and Clawitzer, and Revelation Dance becomes a Grass-type move, hitting the aforementioned threats super effectively. It also lets Oricorio take less chip damage from Stealth Rock, allowing it to stay on the field longer and be less reliant on Heavy-Duty Boots, should they be Knocked Off by Passimian and Bombirider. If Oricorio doesn’t Terastalize, it is very susceptible to priority attacks from Bruxish and Lycanroc; therefore, Pokemon that easily switch into them like Mabosstiff, Lurantis, and Paldean Tauros are great teammates. Defensive Pokemon that sponge Oricorio's attacks such as Crocolar, Vaporeon, and Dachsbun heavily threaten it, so wallbrekears like Bruxish, Rotom-F, and Toxicroak are appreciated.

Oricorio is one of the best setup sweepers in NU because of Quiver Dance and its ability to take advantage of Terastallization. Oricorio's ability to set up and sweep makes it very difficult to stay into because it can outpace threats like Choice Scarf Medicham, Jolteon, and Paldean Tauros. These first two sentences don't really tell the reader anything. The move Quiver Dance and being able to Terastallize, just like any other Pokemon can, don't explain why Oricorio is a potent setup sweeper. You should be talking about: 1) hard to revenge kill, and 2) it's a particularly good user of Terastallization because of its interaction with Revelation Dance and how it helps against revenge killers Air Slash is an alternative to Hurricane for a more reliable way to hit Vaporeon, Eelektross, and Dachsbun. Roost provides longevity to Oricorio, allowing it to stay in battle longer and sweep. Tera Grass resists Rock- Grass does not resist Rock lol and Water-type attacks from Lycanroc, Bruxish, and Clawitzer, and Revelation Dance becomes a Grass-type move, hitting the aforementioned threats super effectively. It also lets Oricorio take less chip damage from Stealth Rock, allowing it to stay on the field longer taking less damage from Stealth Rock has... very little to do with field time? If anything, a Pokemon would spend MORE time on the field if it's weak to Stealth Rock and be less reliant on Heavy-Duty Boots, should they be Knocked Off by Passimian and Bombirider. If Oricorio doesn’t Terastalize, it is very susceptible to priority attacks from Bruxish and Lycanroc; therefore, Pokemon that easily switch into them like Mabosstiff Why am I switching my slower, non-resistant Pokemon into the wallbreaker that will KO it the following turn, Lurantis, and Paldean Tauros are great teammates. Defensive Pokemon that sponge Oricorio's attacks such as Crocolar, Vaporeon, and Dachsbun DACHSBUN threatens Oricorio??? The passive Fairy-type?? CROCALOR threatens it??? The Fire-type that cannot touch it and gets reamed by Taunt variants??? heavily threaten it, so wallbrekears like Bruxish, Rotom-F, and Toxicroak are appreciated.

I am rejected and reassigning this analysis. There is far too much content I am having to comment on, much of it being very basic matchup knowledge even. You are welcome to try and write another Pokemon's analysis, but I recommend using the Pokemon more before reserving it.
