[SET COMMENTS]

Lycanroc-D is one of RU's fiercest wallbreakers, boasting excellent STAB priority and a wide coverage movepool. Accelerock provides crucial priority that helps in revenge killing deadly sweepers like Armarouge and Gyarados. Tough Claws Close Combat deals immense damage to physical walls like Hippowdon and crushes Krookodile. Crunch deals with the tier's many Psychic-type Pokemon, particularly Slowbro. Psychic Fangs rips through Poison-types like Galarian Weezing and Fezandipiti. Stone Edge can be used over Psychic Fangs to OHKO Pokemon like Salamence, Noivern, and Volcanion. Choice Band allows Lycanroc-D to threaten the likes of Chesnaught and Slowbro with the slightest bit of chip damage such as that from entry hazards. Life Orb scores an OHKO on important targets such as Umbreon after Stealth Rock damage. Tera Fighting lets Close Combats 2HKO Hippowdon and Chesnaught. It also gives Lycanroc-D a Bug resistance and removes its Fighting weakness, ruining revenge kill attempts from Slither Wing and Conkeldurr. Tera Dark Crunch OHKOes Slowbro with slight chip damage from hazards. It also gives it a Psychic immunity, allowing Lycanroc-D to switch into Psychic-type moves from the likes of Cresselia and Choice-locked Gardevoir.

Lycanroc-D fits best on bulky offense teams that have a lot of pivots to bring it in safely against Pokemon such as Hisuian Goodra, Empoleon, and Umbreon. Thus, specially offensive Pokemon such as Noivern, Fezandipiti, and Magnezone make great teammates, and they also threaten checks to Lycanroc-D such as Chesnaught and Hippowdon. Physical sweepers such as Revavroom and Maushold appreciate Lycanroc-D's ability to weaken physical walls like the aforementioned Hippowdon as well as Galarian Weezing. Pokemon such as Thunder Wave Jirachi, Slowbro, and Rotom-H slow down Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Gardevoir, Gengar, and Noivern to prevent Lycanroc-D from getting revenge killed. Cyclizar and the aforementioned Noivern provide entry hazard removal support, which is particularly valuable for Life Orb Lycanroc-D variants, preventing it from getting further chipped by hazards. Lycanroc-D also enjoys Knock Off support from the likes of Cyclizar, Chesnaught, and Galarian Zapdos for potential Rocky Helmet. Due to its tendency to be easily revenge killed by Choice Scarf users like Gardevoir and Galarian Zapdos, defensive Pokemon like Jirachi and Hippowdon are appreciated, with the latter's Sand Stream also boosting Lycanroc-D's Special Defense, letting it survive a hit in a pinch.

Lycanroc-D is one of RU's fiercest wallbreakers, boasting excellent STAB priority and a colorful vague wide coverage movepool. Accelerock hits hard and provides crucial priority which helps in revenge killing deadly sweepers like Armarouge and Ribombee ribombee isnt particularly notable as a sweeper Gyarados . Close Combat is a terrific attack that is boosted by Tough Claws, allowing it to deal immense damage to physically defensive giants walls like Hippowdon and giving it the ability to crush Krookodile. Crunch deals with the tier's many Psychic-type Pokemon, particularly Slowbro. Psychic Fangs allows it to rip through Galarian Weezing and Fezandipiti. Stone Edge can be used over Psychic Fangs to OHKO Pokemon like Salamence, Noivern, (AC) and Volcanion. Choice Band boosts Lycanroc-D's attack to mind-boggling levels, allowing it to threaten the likes of Hippowdon and Galarian-Weezing with the slightest bit of chip damage such as that from entry hazards. Life Orb still boosts its attack mention that this boost is still enough to hit key thresholds like an ohko on umbreon after rocks while giving it the ability to switch moves at the caveat of taking of recoil damage. The former is prone to prediction while the latter is prone to chip damage. not necessary - these arent huge weaknesses or unique to lycan-d Tera Fighting boosts its Close Combats to mind-boggling levels, achieving feats such as 2HKO'ing Hippowdon and Chesnaught. It also gives it a Bug resistance and removes its Fighting weakness, ruining revenge kill attempts from Slither Wing and Conkeldurr. Tera Dark boosts Crunch, allowing it to OHKO Slowbro with slight chip from hazards. It also gives it a Psychic immunity.

Lycanroc-D fits best on bulky offense teams that have a lot pivots to bring it in safely against Pokemon such as Hisuian Goodra, Empoleon, and Umbreon. Thus, specially offensive generally speaking, try to describe pokemon according to their roles more Pokemon such as Noivern, Fezandipiti, and Rotom-C make great teammates, as they also threaten checks to Lycanroc-D such as Chesnaught and Hippowdon. talk about how phys sweepers like revavroom appreciate lycan-d's ability to wear down phys walls that can enable them to sweep. Other teammates include entry hazard setters such as Krookodile, (AC) I see you went for spikes setters but sr accomplishes similar things Klefki, (AC) and Gastrodon why are they worth mentioning for lycan-d specifically? mention any KOs that lycan-d can get with hazards and that it can help lycan-d clean late-game. Pokemon such as Thunder Wave Jirachi, Slowbro, (AC) and Rotom-H are excellent partners, slowing down teams mention mons that lycan-d can handle better if paralyzed with Thunder Wave not sure about mentioning twave here since they dont always run twave, this is more of a preference though to prevent Lycanroc-D from getting revenge killed. Cyclizar and the aforementioned Noivern provide hazard removal support, allowing Lycanroc-D to stay in good condition throughout the game this pretty much applies for every pokemon, explain that LO lycan-d specifically likes hazard removal since it already suffers a lot of chip from LO and potentially rocky helmet. Explain that lycan-d can easily get revenge killed by faster mons like scarf gard and gapdos, and defensive pokemon that can handle them like jirachi and hippo are appreciated.

Choice Band boosts Lycanroc-D's attack, allowing it allows Lycanroc-D to threaten the likes of Hippowdon and Galarian-Weezing with the slightest bit of chip damage such as that from entry hazards. I don't see how CB changes these calcs. Hippo is still 3HKOd unless three layers of spikes are up, and Weezing is still 2HKOd with rocks. Maybe use examples like Chesnaught and Slowbro. Life Orb still boosts its attack, scoring scores an OHKO on important targets such as Umbreon after Stealth Rock damage while still letting it switch moves. Tera Fighting boosts its Close Combats to mind-boggling levels, achieving feats such as 2HKOing Hippowdon and Chesnaught. It also gives it a Bug resistance and removes its Fighting weakness, ruining revenge kill attempts from Slither Wing and Conkeldurr. Tera Dark boosts Crunch, allowing it to OHKO Slowbro with slight chip from hazards. It also gives it a Psychic immunity. Why is this important?

If you want to mention Rocky Helmet, talk about Knock Off support seperately, since Noivern doesn't provide that. Due to its tendency to be easily revenge killed by the likes of Choice Scarf users like Gardevoir and Galarian Zapdos, defensive Pokemon like Jirachi and Hippowdon are appreciated, with the latter's Sand Stream boosting Lycanroc-D's special defense, letting it survive a hit in a pinch.
