[SET COMMENTS]
Koffing works as a physically bulky sun setter, setting up in front of Pokemon such as Beedrill and Anorith that threaten other sun staples. Sludge Bomb is able to greatly pressure opposing Grass-types such as Tropius while also being able to discourage physically frail Pokemon like Abra from switching in. Hidden Power Grass is able to chunk threats like Rhyhorn, Corsola, and Seaking. Pain Split allows Koffing to stay healthy throughout the battle while potentially weakening other Pokemon. Explosion can turn Koffing into a sacrifice, potentially setting up a late-game closer like Tropius for victory. The EVs are invested into Defense to make Koffing a bulky physical wall, taking attacks like Double Edge from Ponyta and Doduo.

Pokemon such as Tropius and Gloom are great partners for Koffing, being able to exploit the sun very well, while Gloom can also patch up Koffing's lower Special Defense. Fire-types like Ponyta and Quilava also appreciate Koffing's sun-setting capabilities, being able to hit even harder with Fire Blast. Castform also benefits from the sun, nuking opposing Pokemon with Weather Ball. On the flip side, powerful special attackers along the lines of Abra can easily OHKO Koffing on the switch or in a one-on-one scenario. Opposing Ponyta and Quilava are also scary for Koffing, taking advantage of the sun and Koffing's lower Special Defense. Against these Pokemon, bulky Pokemon like specially defensive Mightyena and Noctowl work nicely. +1 Corsola is also really hard for Koffing to break through and take attacks from, even with the sun up and Hidden Power Grass. Chlorophyll users like Tropius and Gloom can deal with Corsola thanks to Solar Beam, although they must be weary of Ice Beam.

Sun setter Koffing works as a physically bulky sun setter, setting up in front of threats to other sun staples such as Beedrill and Anorith. Hidden Power Grass is able to chunk threats like Rhyhorn, Corsola, and Seaking. Pain Split allows Koffing to keep survivability stay healthy throughout the battle while potentially weakening other Pokemon. Explosion can turn Koffing into a sacrifice, potentially setting up a late game closer like Tropius for victory. EVs were invested into Defense to make Koffing a bulky physical wall. Mention how Sludge Bomb pressures Grass-types and can dissuade physically frail Pokemon from switching into Koffing

Pokemon such as Castform, Tropius, and Ponyta all benefit from Koffing's presence, as they can all abuse GP tends to not like this word, I recommend replacing it sun while also getting the added bonus of Koffing absorbing Toxic and even Thunder Wave. Gloom also works nicely alongside Koffing, abusing Sun while also patching up for Koffing's lower Special Defense. On the flip side, Abra can OHKO Koffing easily with Psychic, while other powerful Special Attackers like Quilava and Ponyta can benefit from Koffing's sun and OHKO it. Lastly, A +1 Corsola is able to 2HKO Koffing with Surf, beating Koffing every time even with Hidden Power Grass as Corsola outspeeds Koffing.

This paragraph's information is generally good but it should be restructured. First, talk about how it enables Chlorophyll sweepers by setting up sun, then talk about how it can enable Fire-types, with Ponyta notable also being able to set up sun. Your last point about special attackers is incomplete. You talk about how special attackers can beat Koffing, then it just ends. Give examples of checks to Fire-types and Psychic-types, and mention how Corsola is beaten by most sun sweepers, though they must be wary of Ice Beam.

Pokemon such as Tropius and Gloom are great partners for Koffing, being able to exploit the sun very well, while Gloom can also patch up for Koffing's lower Special Defense. Fire-types like Ponyta and Quilava also appreciate Koffing's sun setting capabilities, being able to hit even harder with Fire Blast. Ponyta also sets sun up on some sets. (doesn't seem that relevant to Koffing and Ponyta's dynamic) Castform also benefits from the sun, nuking opposing Pokemon with Weather Ball. On the flip side, powerful special attackers along the lines of Abra can easily OHKO Koffing on the switch or in a 1v1 scenario. Opposing Ponyta and Quilava are also scary for Koffing, taking advantage of the sun and Koffing's lower Special Defense. For this, bulky Pokemon like specially defensive Mightyena and Noctowl work nicely. +1 Corsola is also really hard for Koffing to break through and take attacks from, even with the sun up and Hidden Power Grass.
