[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its high Defense stat, Recover, and coveted move in Rapid Spin, Avalugg is not only able to check physical attackers like Bisharp and Excadrill but also able to effectively act as a reliable spinner for Ice teams. Body Press allows Avalugg to deal good amount of damage to the aforementioned Steel-types, while Recover lets it perform its role without getting worn out throughout the battle. Maximum HP and Defense investment with Impish nature makes Avalugg as physically bulky as possible and makes Avalugg's Body Press more powerful. Heavy-Duty Boots makes Avalugg unaffected by Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes, allowing it to clear hazards more effectively.

Pokemon like Galarain Darmanitan, Lapras and Choice Scarf Weavile benefit from the hazard control Avalugg provides, as it gives them more opportunities to enter the battle and wallbreak or revenge kill without getting worn out by Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes. Choice Band Mamowsine can beat Steel-type Pokemon like Aegislash and Heatproof Bronzong. Eviolite Piloswine and Lapras can take care of Fire-type Pokemon and special attackers that threaten Avalugg like Charizard and Gengar. Additionally, Piloswine can also provide Stealth Rock support, while Lapras can beat Water-type Pokemon like Pelipper and Toxapex for the team.

- make avalugg Heavy-Duty Boots

Maximum HP and Defense investment with Impish nature makes Avalugg as physically bulky as possible allowing it to take care of physical threats for the team.
- mention that max defense makes avaluggs body press more powerful

Eviolite Piloswine and Lapras can take care of Special attackers that threaten Avalugg like Charizard and Gengar, additionally Piloswine can also provide Stealth Rock support forming a utility core while Lapras can beat Water-type Pokemon like Pelipper and Toxapex for the team.
- this is nitpicky but its not really a utility core as they remove/set hazards, also mention lapras beats fire types for avalugg.

Mr Rime can also use a Nasty Plot set to wallbreak or use a better coverage move on Choice Scarf set instead of Rapid Spin since Avalugg is performing the role of hazard control for the team.
- weavile is the best scarfer on ice teams, just focus on a np set for rime and why that is good and then add scarf weavile as a teammate

I think you can remove the first sentence, it doesn't really say anything that the next one doesn't.

For the point on Avalugg spinning on its teammates, I would make it more general. You could put something like "Pokemon like Galarian Darmanitan, Weavile, Choice Scarf Weavile..." since the whole Ice team loves the hazard control bar specific Heavy Duty Boots Pokemon. Also add Toxic Spikes along with Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes Toxapex is back in business now that Dynamax is banned.

Mr. Rime is not good so I wouldn't mention it in team options. It's too slow for Nasty Plot, and as a Choice Scarf user there are a ton of other faster options. If you want, you can put Mamoswine in team options, but you'd have to tie that into how it's a good partner for Avalugg.
