[SET COMMENTS]
Anorith functions as a strong Salac Berry sweeper thanks to its high base Attack, solid type combination, and Swords Dance. Rock Slide is used most often due to the lack of Rock-resistant Pokemon within the tier, being able to OHKO Flaaffy, Noctowl, and uninvested Seaking at +2. Brick Break complements Rock Slide by targetting the likes of Corsola, Magnemite, and Porygon super effectively. Alternatively, Hidden Power Bug secures an OHKO on the likes of physically defensive Lileep at +2 and physically defensive Mightyena at +3 after Intimidate. Substitute gives Anorith some form of protection from switch-ins and status, allowing it to set up freely while getting itself down to Salac Berry range. Anorith can scare off Pokemon such as Magnemite and Ariados through its attacking options, allowing it the free opportunity to use Substitute. Swords Dance allows Anorith to become a threatening cleaner. An Adamant nature allows Anorith to OHKO uninvested Seaking at +2. 76 Speed EVs allow Anorith to outspeed Pokemon such as Ponyta and Abra at +1, while the Special Defense EVs allow it to tank Quilava's Fire Blast and Abra's Psychic so it can set up.

Salac Berry Anorith functions best on offensive teams that benefit from having a strong cleaner to support them. Pokemon such as Gloom, Flaaffy, and Castform that help spread status are appreciated, giving Anorith more windows of opportunity to set up and sweep. Various Choice Band users, such as Aipom, and other setup Pokemon, like Quilava and Cubone, can help dismantle certain defensive cores, which allows Anorith to have an easier time sweeping. Seaking can cover for the likes of Koffing thanks to its solid Special Attack allowing it to 2HKO Koffing with Surf and access to Water Veil. Castform offers mixed attacking coverage and status, weakening threats like Gloom and Koffing and allowing Anorith to come in and clean. Wartortle gives Anorith a hard time. To help with this, both Magnemite and Tentacool are immune to its Toxic, Magnemite can 2HKO Wartortle with Thunderbolt, and Tentacool can apply pressure to non-Refresh and Seismic Toss Wartortle with status and Substitute. Anorith provides an important resistance to Normal, which Flaaffy and Porygon appreciate. However, Anorith isn't bulky enough to switch into Normal-type wallbreakers such as Choice Band Aipom and Doduo long-term, so Pokemon such as physically defensive Gloom and faster threats like Ponyta can prevent these Pokemon from causing too much havoc.

Anorith best functions as a strong Salac Berry abuser thanks to it's high base attack, solid type combination and access to certain moves that allow it to fulfill that potential. Brick Break compliments Anorith's Rock-Type STAB, being able to target any rocks, steels and normals Rock-, Steel-, and Normal-types super-effectively. Alternatively, Hidden Power Bug can be used as Anorith's secondary STAB option in place for Brick Break, allowing it to secure an OHKO on the likes of physically defensive Lileep at +2 is lileep really the best example here? and physically defensive Mightyena at +3. Substitute gives it some form of protection from switch-ins and status, allowing it to set up freely as well as getting it itself down to Salac Berry range. Swords Dance helps Anorith increase it's attack which could turn Anorith into this scary cleaner. The additional attacking Adamant people reading these probably know what the natures do nature allows Anorith to secure the OHKO on uninvested Seaking after a +2 boost. 76 Speed EVs help to outspeed the base 90s at +1 such as?, whilst it's its special defense Special Defense captilization allows it to set up on Quilava's Fire Blast and Abra's Psychic.

Overall it's good, but maybe add a sentence on what value rock slide provides, like hitting hard into fire-types and such.

Salac Berry Anorith functions best on Bulky Offense teams that benefit from having a strong cleaner to support them. Pokemon such as Gloom and Flaaffy that can help to spread and cover status are appreciated by Salac Berry Anorith, giving it more windows of opportunity to set up and sweep. Breakers such as Quilava, Cubone and various Choice Band users like Aipom can help dismantle certain defensive cores which would can allow for Anorith to have an easier time sweeping. Other Pokemon such as Seaking can cover for the likes of Koffing thanks to it's solid special offenses to 2HKO Koffing with Surf and access to the ability Water Veil, making it unable to be burnt. This last bit is just dex info. Probably want to mention some weaknesses and partners that cover it too.

Don't forget to add credits

Anorith best functions as a strong Salac Berry abuser thanks to it's high base attack, solid type combination and access to certain moves that allow it to fulfill that potential. This is fluff (Just say Swords Dance). Rock Slide is Anorith's strongest attacking option, being able to hit the opposing Fire-, Flying-, and Bug-types in the tier and having the added flinch chance to potentially swing the game in its favour. Talk about rockslide being Anorith most often used move due to the lack of Rock-resists (mention specific fat mons it can bust through at +2). Brick Break compliments Anorith's Rock-Type STAB, being able to target any Rock-, Steel- and Normal-types super-effectively. Again be specific about the move everyone already knows the type chart. Alternatively, Hidden Power Bug can be used as Anorith's secondary STAB option in place for Brick Break, allowing it to secure an OHKO on the likes of physically defensive Lileep at +2 and physically defensive Mightyena at +3. Substitute gives it some form of protection from switch-ins and status, allowing it to set up freely whilst simulatiously getting itself down to Salac Berry range. Swords Dance helps Anorith increase it's attack which could turn Anorith into this scary cleaner. Adamant nature allows Anorith to OHKO uninvested Seaking after a +2 Attack boost. 76-Speed EVs help to outspeed Pokemon such as Ponyta and Abra at +1, while its Special Defence allows it to set up on Quilava's Fire Blast and Abra's Psychic.


Mention an alternative spread that lets Anorith outspeed Voltorb at +1.

Both Magnemite and Tentacool are immune from toxic; Magnemite can 2HKO Wartortle with Thunderbolt, and Tentacool can apply pressure Wartortle who lack Refresh and Seismic-Toss with substitute and status.

Mention other offensive or bulky Pokemon that appreciate Anorith's normal resistance.
Mention other Pinch Berry users / setup mons and how they work well together
Mention Castform as its able to spread Status and weaken Pokemon that otherwise threaten anorith.

Rock Slide is used most often due to the lack of Rock-resists Pokemon that resist Rock within the tier, being able to secure an OHKO to Flaaffy, Noctowl, and uninvested Seaking after +2.

Including or excluding Intimidate? Substitute gives it some form of protection from switch-ins and status, allowing it to set up freely whilst simulatiously simultaneously getting itself down to Salac Berry range.
