Set Details
===================

Krilowatt functions as a good pivot with its good stats, great offensive typing, and exceptional ability in Magic Guard, which allows it to pivot constantly without fear of getting chipped down by entry hazards. Its STAB combination is also amazing in conjunction with Ice Beam, threatening a large portion of the metagame for super effective damage. Ice Beam covers Grass- and Dragon-types such as Caribolt, Rillaboom, Dragapult, Chuggalong, and Miasmaw. Tera Water sheds Krilowatt's weakness to Ground, allowing it to switch into Pokemon like Great Tusk and Ting-Lu without getting OHKOed. Tera Flying flips its Ground and Grass matchups completely, which can catch Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Caribolt, and Rillaboom off guard.

Krilowatt shines best on balance and bulky offense teams that can capitalize on it forcing out foes with its decent offensive presence and bringing in teammates safely using Volt Switch. Krilowatt should always be paired with a Knock Off absorber like Clefable or Gliscor, as most of its offensive presence is due to Life Orb, and both Clefable and Gliscor can provide entry hazards to chip down foes further. Gliscor specifically pairs well with Krilowatt, as it can help wear down Krilowatt's checks with Toxic. Pokemon that can set up Spikes, like the aforementioned Gliscor, Arghonaut, and Skarmory, are amazing teammates for Krilowatt, as its offensive coverage forces a lot of switching. Krilowatt pairs well with sweepers like Hemogoblin and Nasty Plot Gholdengo, as they take advantage of the free switch in and chip damage that Krilowatt provides with Volt Switch, allowing them to break through their checks. Krilowatt is weak to Grass- and Ground-type attacks from foes like Meowscarada, Ogerpon-W, and Equilibra, so pairing it with Pokemon who can take on these threats such as Kyurem, Ogerpon-W, and Venomicon can really help keep Krilowatt healthy. Dragapult can deal huge damage to special walls like Galarian Slowking and Malaconda and can form a good VoltTurn core with Krilowatt. Krilowatt is a useful option on rain teams, as it can form a VoltTurn core with Pelipper, bringing in rain sweepers like Barraskewda and Raging Bolt in to deal massive damage to foes, as well as benefitting from rain boosting its own Surf.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Knock Off**: Since most of Krilowatt's offensive pressure is because of Life Orb, Pokemon that can remove it greatly cripple Krilowatt's offensive output. Pokemon such as Weavile and Roaring Moon outspeed Krilowatt and can remove its Life Orb with Knock Off while dealing tons of damage.

**Water-immune Pokemon**: Ogerpon-W can absorb Krilowatt's Surf, not only healing itself but also threatening an OHKO with Power Whip. Mollux and Clodsire can also absorb Surf, allowing them to either threaten heavy damage or set up Stealth Rock.

**Offensive Grass-types**: Pokemon like Meowscarada and Caribolt can outspeed Krilowatt and threaten to KO it using their strong Grass-type while taking Surf and Thunderbolt rather easily. However, they don't like taking an Ice Beam on the switch in. Rillaboom and Malaconda also give Krilowatt trouble, as they can take an Ice Beam, then either OHKO with Grassy Glide or cripple it with Knock Off, respectively.

**Special Walls**: Galarian Slowking can easily take Krilowatt's attacks and can deal decent damage with Sludge Bomb, set up Future Sight, or pivot out with Chilly Reception. Equilibra and Ting-Lu can also be a problem because they are immune to Volt Switch and can respond with Earth Power and Earthquake, respectively, but they don't like switching into a Surf.

**Defensive Terastallization**: Krilowatt relies heavily on threatening super effective damage, so Terastallization that can remove foes' weaknesses, like Tera Dragon Cresceidon and Tera Grass Heatran, can suddenly catch Krilowatt off guard, making these foes harder to deal with.

Set Details

Krilowatt functions as a fantastic pivot with its good stats, great offensive typing, and an exceptional ability in Magic Guard, which prevents all passive damage, (unnecessary Dex info) which allows it to Volt Switch pivot constantly without fear of getting chipped down by hazards. Volt Switch also allows it to switch into teammates that could pressure the opponent, or chip down opposing walls like Arghonaut or Crescsidon, allowing another teammate or Krilowatt to capitalize on that damage (This sentence is pretty long and probably needs to be reworded). Surf and Electric STAB allow Krilowatt to deal chunks of damage into common metagame threats, and pressure them into a switch, as Krilowatt’s natural bulk means that it can survive a neutral hit from these Pokémon , and (This section is unnecessary since you mention STABs later on) Life Orb boost‘s its lackluster attack stats into fairly reasonable territory, while Magic Guard removes the recoil that comes with it (Suggest you move this to where you mention Magic Guard for better coherency). Surf deals with common Water weak Pokémon threats like Gliscor, Heatran, Great Tusk, Volcarona, and most Hemogoblin sets, while Electric STAB Thunderbolt deals with Arghonaut, Cresceidon, Venomicon, Primarina, and Skarmory , and more, . between Thunderbolt for more damage, or Discharge for the increases chance of paralysis, crippling Pokémon further. Ice Beam covers Grass- types and Dragon- types that can easily take one of Krilowatt’s other moves such as is coverage that hits Caribolt, Dragapult, Malaconda (Mala really doesn’t mind Ice Beam and will just Parting Shot out anyway), and Miasmaw, as well as getting Rillaboom and Meowscarada on the switch. Tera Water boosts up the damage of Surf, while shedding it’s weakness to ground, allowing Krilowatt to take that one hit to cripple that threat.

Krilowatt fits best on Balance and Bulky Offense teams as it can force out other Pokémon with its decent offensive presence, and Volt Switch into other pokemon which can capitalize on the chip that Volt Switch provides (Bit of a run-on sentence. Needs to be reworded). Krilowatt pairs well with a Knock Off absorber like Clefable or Gliscor, as most of Krilowatt’s offensive presence is due to its Life Orb, and both can provide hazards to chip down Pokemon further. Gliscor specifically pairs well with Krilowatt as Gliscor can provide even more chip down with Toxic. Krilowatt also pairs well with sweepers like Hemogoblin and Roaring Moon, as they can abuse the free switch-in and chip that Krilowatt provides, allowing them to break through their checks. Krilowatt is also weak to fast Grass- attackers appreciates Grass and Ground resistances, so pairing it with a Grass resist like Kyurem or Ogerpon-Wellspring (Mention Venomicon) can really help keep Krilowatt healthy to continue Volt Switching. Dragapult is an amazing offensive partner with Krilowatt, as it can deal huge damage to special walls like Slowking-Galar or Equilibra, and can also form a good VoltTurn core with Krilowatt.

===================

**Knock Off** Since Krilowatt’s main offensive pressure comes off of Life Orb, Pokémon that can remove Life Orb greatly reduces Krilowatt’s offensive output. Pokémon such as Weavile and Roaring Moon can outspeed Krilowatt and can Knock it off knock Krilowatt’s Life Orb while dealing tons of damage.

**Offensive Grass Types** Pokémon like Meowscarada and Serperior can out-speed Krilowatt and threaten to KO it using their strong Grass type attacks, while also taking Surf and Thunderbolt rather easily, however. However, they don’t like taking an Ice Beam on the switch. Special note to Rillaboom also threatens Krilowatt, as it can survive one Ice Beam, and OHKO it with priority Grassy Glide.

**Specially Bulky Pokemon** Pokemon like Mollux and Slowking-Galar can Eeasily take Krilowatt’s attacks and can respond with either a Future Sight or setting up a Stealth Rock. Equilibra can also be a slight problem, because it’s immune to Volt Switch and can respond with a Rapid Spin of Doom Desire (A Rapid Spin of Doom Desire IS terrifying! Yeah, reword to what you were probably trying to say), but it doesn’t like switching into a Surf.

**Clodsire** Clodsire acts as a complete counter to Krilowatt, as it can easily recover damage off of Ice Beam, is Immune to Volt Switch due to it’s ground typing, Is immune to Water if running the niche Water Absorb, and can 2HKO it with Earthquake.

Krilowatt functions as a good fantastic (Krill kinda fell hard since this was written) pivot with it’s good stats, great offensive typing, and an exceptional ability in Magic Guard, which allows it to pivot constantly without fear of getting chipped down by hazards, while also removing recoil from Life Orb. (Talk more about its offensive capabilities. Krill isn’t good just because it’s a solid pivot, it’s also good because its STAB Combo + Ice Coverage is goated and allows it to hit a good number of mons in the metagame super-effectively) Volt Switch helps get chip on opposing walls like Arghonaut or CrescsidonCresceidon, while also switching in another teammate to capitalize on that damage. Surf deals with threats like Gliscor, Heatran, Great Tusk, Volcarona, and most Hemogoblin sets, while Thunderbolt deals with Arghonaut, Cresceidon, Venomicon, Primarina, and Skarmory. (You don’t need to talk about STAB unless there’s a non-obvious reason for its inclusion). Ice Beam covers Grass- types and Dragon- types that can easily take one of Krilowatt’s other moves such as Caribolt, Dragapult, and Miasmaw, as well as getting Rillaboom and Meowscarada on the switch. Tera Water boosts up the damage of Surf, while shedding it’sits weakness to gGround, allowing Krilowatt to take that one hit to cripple that threat. (Talk about the perks of Tera Flying here).

Krilowatt fits best on Balance and Bulky Offense teams as it can force out other Pokémon with its decent offensive presence, and bring in other Pokémon safely using Volt Switch. Krilowatt pairs well should always be paired with a Knock Off absorber like Clefable or Gliscor, as most of Krilowatt’s offensive presence is due to it’s Life Orb, and both can provide hazards to chip down Pokemon further. Gliscor specifically pairs well with Krilowatt as Gliscor can provide even more chip down with Toxic. (I want you to bring up mons that can set up spikes. Kril has shined on Spikes Offense since pretty much inception) Krilowatt also pairs well with sweepers like Hemogoblin and Nasty Plot Gholdengo Roaring Moon (I don’t think Roaring Moon is really seen much on the types of teams you would put Kril on in CAP. Honestly I just gave a random example), as they abuse the free switch-in and chip that Krilowatt provides, allowing them to break through their checks. Krilowatt is also weak to fast Grass- and -Ground-type attackers (Give some examples), so pairing it with Kyurem, Ogerpon-Wellspring, or Venomicon can really help keep Krilowatt healthy to continue Volt Switching (I don’t like how this part implies this is all it’s really doing in a game). Dragapult is an amazing offensive partner with Krilowatt, as it can deal huge damage to special walls like Slowking-Galar or Malaconda Equilibra (Pult does not check Libra, in fact it's usually the other way around), and can also form a good VoltTurn core with Krilowatt. (Mention that Krill does decent on rain teams somewhere here).

**Offensive Grass Types** Pokémon like Meowscarada and Caribolt Serperior can out-speed Krilowatt and threaten to KO it using their strong Grass type attacks, while also taking Surf and Thunderbolt rather easily.

(I kinda want this last sentence reworded. Unless Rilla is using Band, which tbf is very often the case, it can’t OHKO with Grassy Glide. Also talk about Malaconda).

**Specially Bulky Pokemon** Pokemon like Mollux and Slowking-Galar can easily take Krilowatt’s attacks and can deal decent damage with Sludge Bomb, set up Future Sight, or pivot out with Chilly Reception. respond with either a Future Sight or setting up a Stealth Rock.

**Clodsire** Clodsire acts as a complete counter to Krilowatt, as it can easily recover damage off of Ice Beam, is Immune to Volt Switch due to it’s ground typing, Is immune to Water if running the niche Water Absorb, and can 2HKO it with Earthquake. (Even when this was written, Clodsire was pretty much never seen outside of Stall, where it is almost always using Unaware. Don’t think it’s appropriate to mention as a check, let alone have its own section)

**Defensive Terastallization**: (Krill relies a lot on hitting stuff super-effectively to consistently break through teams, which Tera kinda messes with for obvious reasons).

Not going to stamp this yet, as I want to give it another look over.

Also, please read up on the Spelling and Grammar Standards and proofread your writing. I’ve noticed multiple grammatical errors in this analysis, some of which I found just from putting this into Google Docs. I understand that we aren’t in GP yet, but even for an analysis still in QC, the amount of grammatical errors I’ve found is quite frankly unacceptable, and a certain Greek man would orbital strike my home if I didn’t bring something up about it. I tried fixing whatever I noticed, but I doubt I caught everything.
 
Implemented, ready for 2nd check, also reworded some stuff cause this was finished in march and I’ve improved type stuff

This still kinda reads awkwardly at points, but that's mostly a GP thing, and in terms of what information is being provided, I think this is in a much better place now.

Set Details
===================

Krilowatt functions as a good pivot with it's its good stats, great offensive typing, and an exceptional ability in Magic Guard, which allows it to pivot constantly without fear of getting chipped down by entry hazards. Krilowatt's Its STAB combination is also amazing in conjunction with Ice Beam, threatening a large portion of the metagame for super effective damage. Ice Beam covers Grass- and Dragon-types Grass and Dragon types that can easily take one of Krilowatt's other moves such as Caribolt, Rillaboom, Dragapult, Chuggalong, and Miasmaw. Tera Water boosts up the damage of Surf, while shedding its sheds Krilowatt's weakness to Ground, allowing it Krilowatt to switch into Pokemon Pokémon like Great Tusk and Ting-Lu without getting OHKOed. Tera Flying flips its Ground and Grass matchups completely turns the Ground weakness into an immunity altogether, while also turning its Grass weakness into a resistance, which can catch Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Caribolt, and Rillaboom off guard Rilaboom off-guard.

Krilowatt shines best on balance and bulky offense teams that can capitalize on Krilowatt forcing out other Pokemon it forcing out foes with its decent offensive presence (remove comma) and bringing in teammates other Pokemon safely using Volt Switch. Krilowatt should always be paired with a Knock Off absorber like Clefable or Gliscor, as most of Krilowatt's its offensive presence is due to Life Orb, and both Clefable and Gliscor can provide entry hazards to chip down foes Pokemon further. Gliscor specifically pairs well with Krilowatt, (comma) as it Gliscor can help wear down Krilowatt's checks with Toxic. Pokemon that can set up Spikes, like the aforementioned Gliscor, as well as Arghonaut, (comma) and Skarmory, are amazing teammates for Krilowatt, as it's ability to threaten super effective damage on Pokemon its offensive coverage forces a lot of switching. Krilowatt also pairs well with sweepers like Hemogoblin and Nasty Plot Gholdengo, (comma) as they abuse take advantage of the free switch in switch-in and chip damage that Krilowatt provides with Volt Switch, allowing them to break through their checks. Krilowatt is also weak to Grass Grass- and Ground-type attacks from foes attackers like Meowscarada, Ogerpon-W, and Equilibra, so pairing it with Pokemon who can take on these threats such as Kyurem, Ogerpon-W, and or Venomicon can really help keep Krilowatt healthy. Dragapult is an amazing offensive partner with Krilowatt, as it can deal huge damage to special walls like Slowking-Galar or Galarian Slowking and Malaconda (remove comma) and can also form a good VoltTurn core with Krilowatt. Krilowatt is also a useful option on rain teams, as it can form a VoltTurn core with Pelipper, and bring in rain abusers bringing in rain sweepers like Barraskewda and Raging Bolt in to deal massive damage to foes onto the opponent, as well as benefitting from rain boosting its own Surf. the rain boosting Krilowatt's own surf.
