Aurumoth is one of the most threatening sweepers thanks to its extremely diverse movepool, which includes moves like Focus Blast, Thunder, and Blizzard, and ability No Guard, enabling it to run these moves despite their accuracy. Furthermore, its resistances to Fighting, Ground, Psychic, and Grass alongside its bulk create many different situations in which it will be able to sweep. Although Aurumoth has access to other setup moves too, namely Tail Glow and Dragon Dance, it prefers Quiver Dance to consistently clean up against offensive teams and break bulkier teams. However, Aurumoth's typing also leaves it susceptible to all entry hazards, making solid Defog users like Tornadus-T and Rotom-W absolute musts on teams that choose to run Aurumoth. Furthermore, it's quite weak unboosted, but thanks to its wide movepool and the threat of boosting, it can still force many switches. Therefore, Spikes users like Greninja, Ash-Greninja, and Ferrothorn are good choices to capitalize on this.

I think it reads better if say "it's one of the most threatening sweepers" up front Thanks to Aurumoth's extremely diverse movepool, which includes moves like Blizzard move blizzard last, Thunder, and Focus Blast and ability, No Guard, enabling it to run these moves despite their accuracy, it's one of the most threatening wallbreakers and sweepers. Furthermore, its resistance to Fighting, Ground, and Grass alongside its bulk enable many different situations in which it will be able to sweep. mention why this set in particular is being chosen - it's the most splashable However, Aurumoth's typing also leaves it susceptible to all entry hazards, making solid Defog users like Tornadus-T and Rotom-W absolute musts on teams that choose to run Aurumoth. Furthermore, it's quite weak unboosted, but the threat of boosting can still force many switches, so Spikes users like Greninja, Ash-Greninja, and Ferrothorn are good choices to capitalize on this.

Aurumoth is one of the most threatening sweepers thanks to its extremely diverse movepool, which includes moves like Focus Blast, Thunder, and Blizzard,(AC) and ability,(RC) No Guard, enabling it to run these moves despite their accuracy. Furthermore, its resistance resistances to Fighting, Ground, Psychic, and Grass alongside its bulk enable create (just an fyi: when saying "alongside" or "combined with", the verb form depends on the noun that precedes that phrase) many different situations in which it will be able to sweep. Although Aurumoth has access to other setup moves too, namely Tail Glow and Dragon Dance, it prefers Quiver Dance to consistently clean up against offensive teams and break bulkier teams. However, Aurumoth's typing also leaves it susceptible to all entry hazards, making solid Defog users like Tornadus-T and Rotom-W absolute musts on teams that choose to run Aurumoth. Furthermore, it's quite weak unboosted, but thanks to its wide movepool and the threat of boosting, it can still force many switches,(RC) so Therefore,(AC) (this change is to avoid the constant pauses from too many commas) Spikes users like Greninja, Ash-Greninja, and Ferrothorn are good choices to capitalize on this.
