Swoobat finds a niche in PU as a late-game sweeper, utilizing its ability in Simple and access to Substitute to acquire boosts from Calm Mind and Salac Berry to empower its Stored Power. Substitute provides Swoobat with an opportunity to set up multiple Calm Minds, letting it avoid status such as Toxic from Klinklang and helping it activate its Salac Berry. Stored Power utilizes the boosts from Calm Mind and Salac Berry and allows Swoobat to break through specially defensive walls such as Type: Null, Lickilicky, and Unaware Pyukumuku. Heat Wave serves as coverage for Steel- and Dark-types such as Klinklang, Mawile, and Pawniard. Alternatively, Roost provides Swoobat with recovery, letting it set up multiple Substitutes. Nasty Plot is a notable mention over Calm Mind, providing Swoobat with immediate wallbreaking power at the cost of not improving its special bulk, giving it worse matchups against threats like Shadow Ball Beheeyem and Calm Mind Drifblim. Thanks to Simple, Salac Berry provides Swoobat with a +2 boost to Speed, helping it outspeed offensive checks such as Choice Scarf Manectric and Golduck.

Swoobat is mainly found on offensive teams that can weaken its checks and enable it to set up and sweep. Pairing Swoobat with Fighting-types such as Throh, Falinks, and Hitmonchan is ideal, since they provide a check to Steel- and Dark-types like Klinklang and Pawniard, especially if Swoobat is not running Heat Wave. Furthermore, they can threaten specially defensive walls like Type: Null and Lickilicky, two foes that can pressure Swoobat with Shadow Claw and Knock Off, respectively. Swoobat is susceptible to priority Shadow Sneak from Gourgeist and Dusknoir, so answers to them like Unfezant and Morpeko make for good partners. Pivots such as Boltund, Golduck, and the aforementioned Morpeko can bring Swoobat safely into battle and provide it with more setup opportunities, with Morpeko also providing Parting Shot support. Memento support from Alolan Dugtrio is valuable, weakening a foe and letting Swoobat set up safely. Fellow special attackers like Lilligant and Glaceon can cripple and weaken shared checks like Klinklang and Type: Null, helping Swoobat clean late-game. Physically defensive walls like Stunfisk and Sandslash complement Swoobat by serving as checks to revenge killers like Choice Scarf Unfezant and Boltund while setting up entry hazards to wear down opposing foes; in return, they appreciate Swoobat setting up and threatening their checks like Appletun, Lilligant, and Golduck. The aforementioned Sandslash as well as Defog users such as Drifblim and Silvally-Rock can help remove Stealth Rock, keeping Swoobat healthy to enable more setup opportunities.

Swoobat finds a niche in PU as a deadly late-game sweeper bit of a stretch maybe dial it back a bit, utilizing its ability Simple and Substitute to acquire boosts from Calm Mind and Salac Berry to empower its Stored Power. Substitute provides Swoobat with an opportunity to set up multiple Calm Minds, while letting it avoid status such as Toxic from Klinklang and helps Swoobat activate its Salac Berry.

Nasty Plot is a notable mention over Calm Mind, providing Swoobat with immediate breaking power at the cost of not improving its special bulk provide examples on how Nasty plot immediate power can give it less set up opportunities. Thanks to Simple, Salac Berry provides Swoobat with a +2 boost to Speed, helping it outspeed offensive checks such as Choice Scarf Boltund and Golduck. There should be some comparison to Rapidash-Galar since it's the main competition and easier to build with.

Swoobat is susceptible to priority Shadow Sneak from Gourgeist and Dusknoir, so answers to them like Unfezant and Morpeko make for good partners. Ground-types The ground typing doesn't have as much to do with it as their physical defense like Stunfisk and Sandslash complement Swoobat by serving as checks to revenge killers like Choice Scarf Unfezant and Boltund, while setting up entry hazards to wear down opposing foes; in return, they appreciate Swoobat threatening their checks like Appletun, Lilligant, and Golduck. The aformentioned Sandslash, as well as, Defog users such as Drifblim and Silvally-Rock can help remove Stealth Rock, keeping Swoobat healthy to enable more set up opportunities. Mention pivots that can get Swoobat some set up opportunities and special attackers (i.e. Lilligant) with common checks to wear down. I think there should be emphasis on how Swoobat can struggle against Shadow/Crush Claw Null and just won't be able to accumulate boosts on Lickilicky w/ nearly all running Knock Off.

Swoobat finds a niche in PU as a late-game sweeper, utilizing its ability Simple and Substitute to acquire boosts from Calm Mind and Salac Berry to empower its Stored Power. Substitute provides Swoobat with an opportunity to set up multiple Calm Minds, while letting it avoid status such as Toxic from Klinklang and helps Swoobat helping it (parallelism) activate its Salac Berry. Stored Power utilizes the boosts from Calm Mind and Salac Berry and allows to allow (subjective - directness) Swoobat to break through specially defensive walls such as Type: Null, Lickilicky, and Unaware Pyukumuku. Heat Wave serves as coverage for Steel- and Dark-types such as Klinklang, Mawile, and Pawniard. Alternatively, Roost provides Swoobat with recovery, letting it set up multiple more (it can already set multiple Substitutes: 3 of them) Substitutes. Nasty Plot is a notable mention over Calm Mind, providing Swoobat with immediate breaking power at the cost of not improving its special bulk, giving it worse matchups against threats like Shadow Ball Beheeyem and Calm Mind Drifblim.

Finland I used many of your changes here, well done. The only thing I want to point out to you is that when "since" is being used to mean "because", there is a comma in front of it, same as with "as".
