With Salazzle's deep utility movepool, it can act as great support Pokemon that lacks passivity thanks to its high Speed and its nearly unresisted STAB combination's damage output. Fire Blast is preferred for pure damage, but Flamethrower can be used instead for higher accuracy. Toxic + Corrosion allow Salazzle to break through bulkier Pokemon in the tier that other Pokemon simply can't like Galarian Slowbro, Qwilfish, and Gastrodon. Encore helps Salazzle take advantage of Pokemon that would otherwise wall it like Milotic, Gastrodon, and Mudsdale; however, Knock Off can be used instead to cripple item-reliant Pokemon like Assault Vest Galarian Slowbro, Gligar, and Duraludon. Tera Grass allows Salazzle to check Inteleon, Paldean Tauros-W, and Golurk in a pinch. On the other hand, Tera Steel helps when facing Galarian Slowbro, Galarian Articuno, and Meloetta. Tera Ghost can also be used to ignore Fake Out and Extreme Speed from Ambipom and Arcanine, respectively, and in tandem with Encore, it can force them to continually do no damage to it, letting Salazzle attack freely.

Salazzle easily handles Steel-types like Bronzong and Alolan Sandslash, so Pokemon that are checked by these walls work well alongside it like Florges, Galarian Articuno, and Grimmsnarl. If running Knock Off, Salazzle can help to chip away at opposing teams alongside entry hazard setters like Gligar, Gastrodon, and Alolan Sandslash. On top of this, Salazzle is also quite easily revenge killed by Choice Scarf users and naturally fast Pokemon like Staraptor, Flamigo, and Inteleon, so walls like Bellibolt and Gastrodon help it defensively.

With Salazzle's deep utility movepool, it can act as great support Pokemon that lacks passivity thanks to its high Speed and output (I would also mention its pretty solid STAB combo here: Poison-Fire is practically unresisted in the tier bar Qwilfish J). Fire Blast is preferred for pure damage, but Flamethrower can be used instead for higher accuracy. Toxic + Corrosion allows Salazzle to break through bulkier Pokemon in the tier that other Pokemon simply can't like Galarian Slowbro, Qwilfish, and Bronzong. Encore helps Salazzle take advantage of otherwise walls Pokemon who would otherwise wall it (rewrote this cause it didnt rly make sense as written) like Milotic, Gastrodon, and Mudsdale; however, Knock Off can be used instead to cripple item reliant Pokemon like Gliscor, Duraludon, and Scyther (I feel like this isnt a good option cause most of the time you are freely clicking your fire stab. Maybe mention something like Qwilfish H or a scarfer like Migo instead maybe?) . Tera Grass allows Salazzle to check Inteleon, Paldean Tauros-A, and Golurk in a pinch. On the other hand, Tera Steel helps when facing Galarian Slower, Galarian Articuno, Staraptor, and Flamigo (I would not say this is true since Migo and Raptor both have CCs on you that hurt alot. Maybe mention something like Melo instead here?) .

Salazzle easily handles Steel-types like Bronzong, Duraludon, and Alolan Sandslash. Pokemon like Florges, Galarian Articuno, and Grimmsnarl who are checked by these walls work well alongside it. (combine this into two sentences) Salazzle also likes taking advantage of walls like Gastrodon, Mudsdale, Galarian Slowbro, and Coalossal, meaning teammates like Inteleon, Flamigo, Delphox, and Staraptor are checked by these Pokemon help create a wallbreaking core alongside Salazzle. (I mean, does it? if Salazzle is in first or does not come in on them clicking rocks or ssa or whatever its in an unfavorable position. So i wouldnt say it checks thems and i would cut this.) If running Knock Off, Salazzle can help to chip away at opposing teams alongside entry hazard setters like Gliscor, Gastrodon, and Alolan Sandslash. Salazzle is also quite frail. So, Pokemon that can take on Golurk, Galarian Articuno, and Inteleon like Rotom-C, Bronzong, and Gastrodon help give Salazzle a solid defensive core to pivot with.
(I would mention how Salazzle is pretty prone to getting revenged by Scarf Migo / Raptor as well as from naturally faster threats like Intel so the likes of Belli / Gastro make excellent partners for it.)

Fire Blast is preferred for pure damage, but Flamethrower can be used instead for higher accuracy. Toxic + Corrosion allows Salazzle to break through bulkier Pokemon in the tier that other Pokemon simply can't like Galarian Slowbro, Qwilfish, and Bronzong. (salazzle's threatening bronzong with fire moves more often than not, gastrodon is a better mention here even though it's not immune to poison.) Encore helps Salazzle take advantage of Pokemon who would otherwise wall it like Milotic, Gastrodon, and Mudsdale; however, Knock Off can be used instead to cripple item reliant Pokemon like Gliscor (gligar), Duraludon, and Hisuian Qwilfish (av glowbro is definitely worth mentioning over hwilfish, and i'd even make it the first example here.). Tera Grass allows Salazzle to check Inteleon, Paldean Tauros-A, and Golurk in a pinch. On the other hand, Tera Steel helps when facing Galarian Slowbro, Galarian Articuno, and Meloetta.

i think tera ghost is worth mentioning for blocking arc espeed and ambi fake out? you can even lock the former into espeed with encore. not sure if it's worth a slash, i just think tera ghost is always viable on these fast, frail offensive mons.

Salazzle easily handles Steel-types like Bronzong, Duraludon (spdef duraludon kinda trolls you with twave/dtail assuming it's even moderately healthy.), and Alolan Sandslash, so Pokemon who are checked by these walls work well alongside it like Florges, Galarian Articuno, and Grimmsnarl. If running Knock Off, Salazzle can help to chip away at opposing teams alongside entry hazard setters like Gliscor (gligar), Gastrodon, and Alolan Sandslash. Salazzle is also quite frail. So, Pokemon that can take on Golurk, Galarian Articuno, and Inteleon like Rotom-C, Bronzong, and Gastrodon help give Salazzle a solid defensive core to pivot with. (i'm not sure i fully understand this part. golurk and guno don't check salazzle the same way inteleon does, and you talk about inteleon and other faster revenge killers in the next sentence. you could maybe delete this sentence and mention choice scarf mowtom as an offensive check to inteleon to contrast from your defensive examples, or just leave the next sentence as is and remove this one.) On top of this, Salazzle is also quite easily revenge killed by Choice Scarf users and naturally fast Pokemon like Staraptor, Flamigo, and Inteleon, so walls like Bellibolt and Gastrodon help it defensively.
