[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its distinct typing, decent Speed tier, and bulk provided by Eviolite, Gabite functions as a good Stealth Rock setter and special wall in the NFE metagame, notably checking Electabuzz. Its typing and ability in Rough Skin help it soft check threats such as Raboot, deterring it from clicking U-turn and Flare Blitz freely. Earthquake is its best STAB move, hitting Electabuzz, Raboot, and Lampent. Toxic debilitates Defog users such as Vullaby, which Gabite cannot hit with Earthquake, as well as checks such as Tangela, Wartortle, and Thwackey. Finally, Roar chips down teams alongside Stealth Rock while forcing out Defog users and Gabite checks. Rest can be used in tandem with clerics such as Aromatherapy Hattrem and Clefairy to keep Gabite healthy. The EVs are optimized to increase Gabite's bulk while still reaching 231 Speed, outspeeding Timid Lampent without a Choice Scarf. 220 EVs on Special Defense prevent the 3HKO from Electabuzz's Focus Blast, 2HKO from Duosion's Future Sight, and 2HKO from Choice Specs Lampent's Shadow Ball. Gabite can also run some more offensive sets, such as Choice Band with Scale Shot to outspeed non-boosted foes. These sets might work with their surprise factor to overwhelm some common checks to the specially defensive set, such as Thwackey.

Roselia and Electabuzz pair well with Gabite because they can check Shell Smash Wartortle, which can use Gabite as a setup fodder or 2HKO with Ice Beam. Roselia can also check both Tangela and Thwackey, which threaten Gabite with Knock Off and Grass-type attacks. Thwackey's Grassy Terrain also weakens Earthquake, so pairing Gabite with Thwackey is not ideal. Hattrem is also annoying, as it can take on Earthquake quite easily and can deny all of Gabite's utility moves, so pairing Gabite with a Dark-type Pokemon such as Vullaby or Galarian Linoone is recommended. Finally, Piloswine can pick off Gabite with Ice Shard or threaten to OHKO it with Icicle Crash. Having a check for Piloswine such as Hattrem, Gurdurr, or Galarian Corsola is mandatory.

Overall, good job explaining Gabite's role in NFE! The details in the set comments make it easy for newer players to understand its role as a Special wall. Main things that I'd like to pick on wording, and a couple minor details on elaborating details in some parts, but this looks great otherwise!

Comments bolded in red are to remove, green is for adding, and purple is for general comments

Thanks to its distinct typing, decent Speed tier, and bulk provided by Eviolite, Gabite works as a rocker good Stealth Rock setter and special wall in the NFE metagame who is able to set up Stealth Rock redundant and check Electabuzz while also checking Electabuzz. Its typing and Rough Skin ability are also helpful to soft check Raboot, deterring it to click U-Turn and Flare Blitz as much as they would like. Maybe add more examples? Earthquake is the best STAB move it has to hit Electabuzz, Raboot, and Chandelure whoops. Toxic allows Gabite to cripple Defog users such as Vullaby which cannot hit with Earthquake, as well as catching some of the Pokemon that check it on the switch checks such as Tangela, Wartortle, and Thwackey. Finally, Roar funcitons functions as a way of chipping down teams as well as forcing out Defog users and Gabite checks. EVs are optimized to increase their bulk in general but mainly in the Special Defense while still being able to reach 231 Speed. This is enough to outspeed Pokemon such as Lampent which reach 229 Speed when fully invested. 220 EVs on Special Defense is enough to secure 4HKO from Electabuzz's Focus Blast. Do you mean to avoid the 3HKO from Focus Blast? You could also list some additional benchmarks as well, like avoiding the 2HKO from Duosion’s Future Sight or the 3HKO from Lampent’s Shadow Ball.

Roselia and Electabuzz pair well with Gabite as they are able to check Shell Smash Wartortle which can use Gabite as a setup fodder or 2HKO with Ice Beam. Roselia can also check both Tangela and Thwackey, at some extent both are reliable checks. Both Pokémon can threaten Gabite as they can use Knock Off and spam Grass-type attacks such as Giga Drain and Grassy Glide, respectively. Thwackey's Grassy Terrain is also detrimental for Gabite's Earthquake, so pairing it with Thwackey is not ideal. Hattrem is also annoying as it can take on Earthquake quite easily and stop the rest of the moves can deny all of its utility moves. Pairing Gabite with a Dark-type Pokémon such as Vullaby or galar-Linoone Galarian Linoone can also help against this matchup. Finally, Piloswine, who is the best rocker around one of the premier Stealth Rock setters, can outspeed Gabite with Ice Shard's priority and do 2HKO or just spam Icicle Crash and OHKO Gabite or threaten to OHKO it with Icicle Crash. Having a check for Piloswinr Piloswine such as Hattrem, Gurdur Gurdurr, or galar-Corsola Galarian Corsola is mandatory.

If you would like, feel free to include a Choice Band set somewhere. It’s able to mitigate its passivity issues with the Dragon coverage and can surprise Thwackey and Roselia. It also threatens Hattrem much better.
