From Omastar's Gen 6 OU analysis:

Checks and Counters​

Choice Scarf Users: Omastar is quite slow, so faster Choice Scarf users, such as Garchomp, can outspeed it even under rain and KO it with a powerful attack.

The wording is poor. Modest Omastar is extremely fast under Rain (beats anything below base 140 Speed), it's just that the math means it doesn't take much for a Scarfer to outspeed due to a low base Speed. Scarfers only need to be base 78 Speed (fully invested) to outpace; hell, Rotom-W's listed Scarf set doesn't even run full investment and wins.

It should probably read like this.

Checks and Counters​

Choice Scarf Users: While Omastar can be extremely fast thanks to Swift Swim, a low base Speed means that moderately fast opponents holding a Choice Scarf are still capable of outpacing it even under Rain. Common Choice Scarf users of the item such as Garchomp, Landorus-T, Latios, and Rotom-W easily threaten to OHKO Omastar.

I haven't played ORAS in forever so maybe some of these Scarfers aren't in vogue anymore, but the point still stands.
 
Also I forgot to mention that Volcanion is completely missing from the Checks and Counters section, but I suspect this analysis is very very old and hasn't been updated since ORAS was current gen.
 
This analysis page has "syngergy".

This privacy policy is missing the serial comma at "...types of data collected, how data is used and your choices...."

The second sentence of the about page ends with "...in every aspect of competitive Pokémon from team building to battling tactics," where a comma belongs after "Pokémon," no?

The philosophy page in its second sentence says that "Part 2 applies this to various arguments leveled against Smogon in an informative way," but it presumably means that this is informative (not leveling against Smogon).
  • The next paragraph, at "...criticized for its behaviors, its beliefs, and its general attitude. But it can be hard to grasp that this is often intended..." would be "these are" (rather than "this is"), no?

In Whirlpool descriptions there is no mention of its interaction with Dive. However, according to Bulbapedia "Whirlpool is able to hit a submerged Pokémon (Dive), dealing twice the regular damage in all generations except in Generation IV, where the move's power is doubled instead."

From Lugia's GSC Ubers analysis, specifically the third paragraph.
However, Lugia struggles to deal meaningful damage until it gets going with Curse boosts. Furthermore, Lugia's strongest attack is Aeroblast, which has only 8 PP, so it can get stalled very easily by smart pivoting, restricting Lugia to only phazing foes until it can safely start attacking. Lastly, Lugia's inability to get past metagame beasts like Zapdos and Tyranitar limits its utility for the majority of the early- or mid-game to acting as a phazer and soft counter to physical attackers.

The second sentence seems very much like an unnecessary run-on and results in whole thing feeling messy. This is especially a problem since the idea of it being a phazer in the early game is effectively mentioned twice in the passage. I tried a full-on rewrite.

However, Lugia struggles to deal meaningful damage unless it uses Aeroblast backed by Curse boosts. While this can be strong, Aeroblast only has 8 PP, which can be stalled out fairly easily. Furthermore, the move is unable to break past Flying-resistant metagame beasts such as Zapdos and Tyranitar. These factors typically limit Lugia to acting as a passive phazer and soft counter to physical attackers during the early- or mid-game.
