[SET COMMENTS]
Araquanid is the best defensive Sticky Web setter and a staple on Bug teams, as its ability Water Bubble combined with its high Special Defense gives it valuable defensive utility against Fire-types and special attackers. Liquidation threatens Fire- and Ground-types as well as physically frail Pokemon that don't resist Water like Iron Valiant, Enamorus, and Sneasler. Toxic punishes bulky switch-ins like Mantine, Rotom-W, Porygon2, and Volcanion. Magic Coat counters entry hazards and status spread from Pokemon like Shuckle, Celesteela, and Klefki that will attempt to exploit Araquanid's passivity. Leech Life is a niche option that gives Araquanid minor recovery and threatens Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Hydreigon, Latios, and Latias. Mirror Coat is an option for Water-resistant foes and omniboost sweepers like Pelipper, Kommo-o, and Hisuian Zoroark, as Araquanid can comfortably take an attack and OHKO them in return. The given EV spread maximizes Araquanid's bulk while also outspeeding base 50 Speed Pokemon with no investment like Ursaluna, Ting-Lu, Hippowdon, and Alolan Muk, which are all threatened by Liquidation. Araquanid synergizes best with teammates that utilize the speed control Sticky Web provides and appreciate the elimination of Pokemon it counters. Volcarona greatly benefits from the removal of Fire-types like Heatran and Victini, making the opening for a sweep easier. With the Sticky Web speed decrease, Volcarona is able to outspeed its checks after only one Quiver Dance and deals with the Grass and Electric types Araquanid is countered by. Choice Scarf Kleavor is a great Stealth Rock setter that takes out Hisuian Arcanine, provides momentum with U-turn, and benefits from Sticky Web. Strong physical attackers like Heracross, Scizor, and Mega Pinsir break walls that Araquanid can't touch like Toxapex, Tapu Fini, and Ferrothorn; they also excel with Sticky Web support, letting them set up and outspeed their checks like Kyurem, Ceruledge, and Tapu Lele.

Araquanid is the best defensive Sticky web setter and a staple on Bug teams as a counter to special attackers and fire types. It's ability Water bubble halves Fire type attacks, doubles Water moves and provides a burn immunity which combined with it's high special defense gives it valuable defensive utility against Fire types and special attackers like Landorus-I, Heatran, Blacephalon, Volcarona, and Tapu Lele. [second part is self explanatory with water bubble. honestly combine these sentences into one. Tell me why its a staple on bug teams: Setting webs + Bulk + great ability + punishing special attackers.] Sticky Web is Araquanid's most valuable quality giving it's offensive teammates like Buzzswole, Scizor, Heracross, and Kleavor that are lacking in speed the support to sweep teams. [Fluff] It's 170 Base power Liquidation is it's primary attack threatening Fire and Ground teams as well as physically frail Pokemon that don't resist water. [like? provide some examples.] Mirror Coat is an option for Water resists like Pelipper, Kommo-o, Kyurem, and Omniboost Z-move sweepers like Victini and Zoroark-Hisui which Araquanid will comfortably survive and KO in return. Toxic is an option for Bulky or Water resistant switch ins like Mantine, Rotom-Wash, Porygon 2, Volcanion, and Iron Hands. Magic Coat counters entry hazards and status spreaders Leech seed, Toxic, and hazards from Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Celesteela, Archaludon, and Klefki that attempt to take advantage of Araquanid's passivity. Leech Life is a niche option that gives Araquanid minor recovery and threatens Pokemon like Ogerpon-Wellspring, Hydreigon, and the Lati twins. [move this b4 you talk about mirror coat.] The 68 Speed EVS outrun Base 50 pokemon with no investment like Ursaluna, Ting-Lu, Hippowdon, and Muk-Alola which are all threatened by Liquidation.

Araquanid synergizes best with teammates that abuse the speed boost webs provide and appreciate the removal of pokemon araquanid counters. Volcarona greatly benefits from the removal of fire types like Heatran, and Victini as well as the spread of toxic weakening the opposing team's bulk. With the Sticky web speed decrease Volcarona is able to outrun Revenge killers like Sand rush Excadrill, Mega-Swampert in the rain, or Scarfers like Sneasler and Meowscarada after a single Quiver Dance. Buzzswole excels with Sticky web support and Araquanid countering the special attackers that force it out letting it easily snowball against Dragon, Steel, and Fighting teams that have few answers to it. Swords dance Scizor appreciates Fire type removal and Sticky web allowing it to nail faster Steel types like Heatran and Excadrill with Close Combat and threaten Ghosts with Knock off. Choice scarf Kleavor is more threatening with Sticky Web preventing faster Scarfers like Victini, Meowscarada, and Blacephalon from revenge killing it. Mega-Pinsir with the boost of webs is able to more reliably clean up teams like Fighting, Water, and opposing Bug without scarfers and faster pokemon stopping it.
[Honestly i would want you to redo the teammate option due to grammatical errors which would make the gp team have a hard time doing the check, some common mistakes like Megas and item/move naming needs to be corrected. ALSO it is just one paragraph and not two as we do not follow the SV Monotype analysis format.] I would also check out Spelling and Grammar Standards | Smogon Forums to help out. You can just start all the teammates your mentioning are benefiting from Sticky Web so i would just focus on what mons they are taking out due to it for araquanid.
