========
- Basculegion-M functions as a powerful sweeper under rain, using Swift Swim in tandem with its powerful STAB moves to outspeed and threaten many common metagame threats, including Calyrex-S, Calyrex-I, Chi-Yu, and Incineroar, among others.
- Last Respects becomes incredibly powerful after one or two teammates have fainted, most notably being able to OHKO Whimsicott after two partners have fainted, making it a very high value move for Basculegion-M. Aqua Jet provides priority for Basculegion-M, dealing sizeable damage with both rain and Life Orb while being able to KO low health foes.
- Life Orb allows Basculegion-M to OHKO Calyrex-I with 150-Base Power Last Respects and Incineroar under rain with Wave Crash after Intimidate.
- The Speed investment allows Basculegion-M to outspeed Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf Chi-Yu when in the rain, while the Defense investment lets it survive Incineroar's Knock Off and Rillaboom's Grassy Glide. The Attack investment allows Basculegion-M to OHKO offensive Lunala with 100-Base Power Last Respects and bulky Miraidon with 150-Base Power Last Respects.
- Tera Ghost boosts the output of Last Respects significantly, notably allowing Basculegion-M to OHKO Calyrex-I with 100-Base Power Last Respectswhile also removing its weakness to Grass- and Electric-type moves, notably Grassy Glide, Thunderclap, and Miraidon's Volt Switch.

Teambuilding
=========
- Amoonguss and Ogerpon-C are both very problematic for Basculegion-M, as they can safely redirect its attacks, allowing for a partner to hit it freely, while Ogerpon-C can easily threaten it with Power Whip.
- Raging Bolt, Chien-Pao, and Rillaboom can all threaten Basculegion-M with super effective priority moves in Thunderclap, Sucker Punch, and Grassy Glide while being able to take its attacks in return.
- Miraidon can comfortably take Basculegion-M's attacks while threatening it back with an OHKO with Electro Drift, whereas Koraidon can replace the rain with sun, hindering it. Focus Sash Calyrex-S can take a hit from Basculegion-M and easily KO it back with Astral Barrage.
- Kyogre pairs amazingly with Basculegion-M, as it can set rain to activate Swift Swim while having very powerful spread damage in Water Spout and Origin Pulse that can help against the redirection users that are problematic for Basculegion-M. In return, Basculegion-M can threaten faster Pokemon like Ogerpon-H, Urshifu-R, and Calyrex-S that can threaten Kyogre.
- Calyrex-I also pairs very well with Basculegion-M, as it can hit the Grass- and Dragon-types that can take Basculegion-M’s hits like Rillaboom, Miraidon, and Raging Bolt with Glacial Lance. In return, Basculegion-M can hit the Fire- and Ghost-types that threaten Calyrex-I, like Incineroar and Calyrex-S.
- Amoonguss supports Basculegion-M very well, with redirection from Rage Powder protecting Basculegion-M from powerful attacks, notably priority such as Sucker Punch; it is also able to put foes to sleep with Spore, allowing Basculegion-M to attack safely. Basculegion-M, in return, hits the Fire- and Psychic-types that threaten Amoonguss such as Chi-Yu and Calyrex-S.
- Basculegion-M appreciates damage reduction, notably from Grimmsnarl in the form of dual screens and from Incineroar in the form of Intimidate, which allows it to more safely output damage. In return, Basculegion-M matches up very well against Urshifu-R, which can bypass both’s damage reduction.

Good content! I respect this analysis needed to be completed quickly, but please give your work a proof-read in future. You have a few sentences/phrases here and there which are difficult to read. I'd like to see your changes before I stamp this.

- Basculegion-M functions as a powerful sweeper under Rain, using Swift Swim in tandem with its powerful STAB moves to outspeed and threaten many common Metagame threats, including Calyrex-S, Calyrex-I, Chi-Yu and Incineroar among others.
- Last Respects becomes incredibly powerful after 1 or 2 teammates have fainted, making it a very high value move for Basculegion-M. Aqua Jet provides priority for Basculegion-M, whilst dealing sizeable damage with both Rain and Life Orb. (Not sure if this is good for qc) Yeah mentioing Aqua Jet is fine, I would mention finishing off low HP foes too
- Life Orb significantly bolsters Basculegion-M's damage output, notably allowing it to OHKO Calyrex-I with Last Respects at 150 BP, and Incineroar under rain with Wave Crash after Intimidate.
- 132 EVs in Speed You can just say the speed investment allows Basculegion-M to outspeed Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf Chi-Yu in the rain, whilst the Defense investment allows it to survive a standard invested Don't need to specify Incineroar's Knock Off or a Max Attack Rillaboom's Grassy Glide under Grasst Terrain.
- Tera Ghost boosts the output of Last Respects significantly, notably allowing Basculegion-M to OHKO Calyrex-I with a 100 BP Last Respects, whilst also removing Basculegion-M's weakness to Grass- and Electric-Type moves, notably Grassy Glide and allowing Basculegion-M to survive a non Choice Specs Simply not mention Choice Specs implies this is a non Choice Specs set Miraidon's Volt Switch.

Teambuilding
=========
- Amoonguss and Ogerpon-C are both very problematic for Basculegion-M, as they can safely redirect away Basculegion-M's attacks, allowing for a partner to hit it freely, while Ogerpon-C can easily threaten Basculegion-M with STAB Grass-Type Moves Power Whip Ogerpon-C doesn't really use any other Grass-type attacks.
- Raging Bolt, Chien-Pao and Rillaboom can all threaten Basculegion-M with Super Effective priority moves, in Thunderclap, Sucker Punch and Grassy Glide respectively, whilst being able to take Basculegion-M's attacks in return.
- Miraidon can comfortably take Basculegion-M's attacks, whilst threatening it back with an OHKO with Electro Drift, whilst Koraidon I'm not a fan of this example but it's fine if you can't find a better one since overriding rain with sun is a good point can replace the Rain with Sun, crippling Basculegion-M, whilst Tera Fire Flare Blitz threatens Basculegion-M with massive damage.
- Kyogre pairs amazingly with Basculegion-M, as it can set rain to activate Swift Swim, whilst having very powerful spread damage It would be more informative if you mention the attacks by name that can help against the redirection users that are problematic for Basculegion-M, whilst in return Basculegion-M can threaten faster Pokemon like Ogerpon-H, Urshifu-R and Calyrex-S that can threaten Kyogre. Start Calyrex-I as a new bullet point Calyrex-I also pairs very well with Basculegion-M, as it can hits the Grass- and Dragon-Types like Rillaboom and Miraidon With? that can take Basculegion-M’s hits, whilst in return Basculegion-M can hit the Fire- and Ghost-types that threaten Calyrex-I, like Incineroar and Calyrex-S.
- Amoonguss supports Basculegion-M very well with redirection from Rage Powder protecting Basculegion-M from powerful attacks, notably priority, and sleep does with Spore, Rewrite this, it doesn't read well whilst Basculegion-M hits the Fire- and Psychic-Types Provide examples that threaten Amoonguss. Start a new bullet point Basculegion-M also supports appreciates damage reduction, notably from Grimmsnarl in the form of dual screens and from Incineroar in the form of Intimidate, as to allow it to have more longevity and support its offense, Rewrite this too, it also doesn't read well whilst in turn Basculegion-M matches up very well into Urshifu-R, which can bypass both’s damage reduction.

- Last Respects becomes incredibly powerful after 1 or 2 teammates have fainted, making it a very high value move for Basculegion-M. Rereading this it looks like dex info, if you could provide examples of significant KOes Basculegion-M gets when multiple teammates have been KOed that would help (I know you mention them later on but just briefly talk about them here too) Aqua Jet provides priority for Basculegion-M, while dealing sizeable damage with both Rain and Life Orb, while being able to KO low health foes.
- Life Orb significantly bolsters Basculegion-M's damage output, notably allowing it to OHKO Calyrex-I with Last Respects at 150 BP, and Incineroar under rain with Wave Crash after Intimidate.
- The Speed Investment allows Basculegion-M to outspeed Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf Chi-Yu in the rain, while the Defense investment allows it to survive Incineroar's Knock Off or Rillaboom's Grassy Glide. I forgot to say in the previous check, you need to mention what the Attack EVs do
- Tera Ghost boosts the output of Last Respects significantly, notably allowing Basculegion-M to OHKO Calyrex-I with a 100 BP Last Respects, whilealso removing Basculegion-M's weakness to Grass- and Electric-Type moves, notably Grassy Glide and allowing Basculegion-M to survive Miraidon's Volt Switch.

- Miraidon can comfortably take Basculegion-M's attacks, while threatening it back with an OHKO with Electro Drift, whilst Koraidon (keeping this for now, but would having CSR as a replacement be better?) Calyrex-S works, you just need to emphasise that Focus Sash variants threaten Basculegion-M, the other variants can only do so when they can move before Basculegion-M can replace the Rain with Sun, crippling Basculegion-M, while Tera Fire Flare Blitz threatens Basculegion-M with massive damage. Feel free to keep Koraidon to mention it can override rain, the part I wasn't a fan of is mentioning Flare Blitz as a threat
- Kyogre pairs amazingly with Basculegion-M, as it can set rain to activate Swift Swim, while having very powerful spread damage in Water Spout and Origin Pulse that can help against the redirection users that are problematic for Basculegion-M, while in return Basculegion-M can threaten faster Pokemon like Ogerpon-H, Urshifu-R and Calyrex-S that can threaten Kyogre.

- Amoonguss supports Basculegion-M very well with redirection from Rage Powder protecting Basculegion-M from powerful attacks, notably priority, and is able to sleep foes with Spore, allowing Basculegion-M to attack safely, while Basculegion-M hits the Fire- and Psychic-Types, notably Chi-Yu and Calyex-S that threaten Amoonguss.
- Basculegion-M also appreciates damage reduction, notably from Grimmsnarl in the form of dual screens and from Incineroar in the form of Intimidate, which allows it to more safely output damage, while in turn Basculegion-M matches up very well into Urshifu-R, which can bypass both’s damage reduction.
