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.
Click to expand...

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.

Aerodactyl Gen 3 OU

Checks and Counters 2nd paragraph​

On more offensive teams, Intimidate users such as Salamence and Gyarados can lessen Aerodactyl's sweeping prowess while giving your own team a chance to sweep. It's worth noting that Salamence and Gyarados share excellent defensive synergy with Jirachi and Metagross, as they can switch into an Earthquake that was meant to hit Metagross or Jirachi, set up a Dragon Dance boost, and proceed to sweep. Claydol can take a couple of Aerodactyl's hits in the early-game and retaliate with Ice Beam; however, Claydol is sure to lose in the late-game due to its lack of reliable recovery. Although Flygon can't switch into Double-Edge, having a Rock-type resistance is necessary to prevent Aerodactyl from running through your team. Also, Flygon pairs well with Metagross and Jirachi, ensuring that you have an offensive core that will give Aerodactyl trouble due to such a pair's excellent defensive synergy. Skarmory can switch into any of Aerodactyl's moves, set up Spikes, and heal off any damage taken wth Rest. More uncommon checks to Aerodactyl include Donphan and Steelix. Steelix in particular can take on Aerodactyl throughout the game due to its resistance to most of Aerodactyl's moves and its excellent Defense stat. Remember that an untimely flinch can spell doom for your Aerodactyl check, so it's a good idea to have two Aerodactyl checks, or at least two Pokemon that can take a hit and OHKO Aerodactyl before it runs through your team. A bulky Gengar set can play such a role, as it can take Rock Slide and hit back with Thunderbolt.

wth should be with
 
Gengar Gen 3 OU

Overview 2nd paragraph​

One of Gengar's greatest assets is its ability to spinblock allowing Spikes to remain on the field. Another major boon to Gengar is its unique set of utility moves, which almost no Pokemon is completely able to shrug off; in particular, Will-O-Wisp severely threatens every non-Fire-type without Natural Cure, and even those that do get their recovery shut down by Taunt, making Gengar highly effective at pressuring passive Pokemon like Blissey and Milotic too. Offensively, Gengar's selection of coverage moves allows it to be an effective sweeper with Spikes support. As a dedicated Blissey lure, Gengar can even use Mean Look + Perish Song or Explosion in conjunction with Dugtrio, allowing specially offensive pokemon to sweep.

Heracross Gen 3 OU

Set Description 3rd paragraph on the Standard Set
Guts is generally the preferred ability on this set to allow Heracross to face Gengar and Zapdos without fear, but Swarm is appropriate when the team has additional Gengar pivots like Starmie and when Heracross's HP can be controlled with Substitute. An Adamant nature increases the odds that Suicune, Swampert, Snorlax, Metagross, Gengar, and Gyarados are taken out with one less hit, but Jolly allows Heracross to outspeed slower variants of Salamence, Modest Zapdos, and Modest Moltres. Jolly Heracross only needs 216 Speed EVs to outspeeds Modest Moltres and Timid Venusaur, so the rest can be allocated to bulk.

Meant to include this one in above post, my bad

Heracross Gen 3 OU

Set Description 2nd paragraph on the Standard Set
When it comes to the last slot, Swords Dance gives Heracross the ability to sweep bulkier teams and can be used set up on a predicted switch or a Choice-locked Earthquake. After a Swords Dance, Rock Slide OHKOes Zapdos and offensive Gengar and has a chance to OHKO Adamant Gyarados and slower variants of Salamence. Substitute pairs well with Focus Punch, allowing Heracross to scout for Drill Peck on Skarmory and potentially play mind games with it. Substitute can also catch an attempted sacrifice into a Dugtrio trap, protect Heracross from Forretress, bring Heracross into Swarm range, and exploit the miss rate of Swampert's Hydro Pump. Adamant Hidden Power Ghost comfortably KOes Gengar in sand after Megahorn, making Heracross a Gengar lure.
