[SET COMMENTS]

Barbaracle is a reliable Shell Smash sweeper due to its bulk and typing allowing it to set up on common Pokemon such as non-Thunder Wave Togekiss, Incineroar, and Crobat. However, as a Shell Smash user, it faces competition from Cloyster due to its far-greater physical bulk and defensive typing, lending it more setup opportunities than Barbaracle. Grass Knot lets Barbaracle punish Pokemon such as Gastrodon and Seismitoad. On the other hand, Protect is an option over Grass Knot because it allows Barbaracle to stop priority moves such as First Impression while also being able to scout Choice-locked Pokemon. Life Orb provides more damage output, allowing it to OHKO Zarude and Cobalion via +2 Stone Edge and Liquidation, respectively. However, the Life Orb recoil coupled with the defensive drops from Shell Smash makes Barbaracle easy to wear down and revenge kill. White Herb can be used over Life Orb because it removes the Defense and Special Defense drops after a Shell Smash, which allows Barbaracle to not take as much damage when setting up. A Jolly nature is used to outspeed Choice Scarf Mienshao and Zarude after a Shell Smash.

Barbaracle mainly fits on hyper offense teams, as it appreciates it checks to be quickly run over for an easy sweep or breaks for its teammates to clean up. Barbaracle likes to have dual screens support from the likes of Vanilluxe or Klefki so that it can get more opportunities to set up. Entry hazard support from Golisopod and Roserade can also be helpful so Barbaracle can wear down Pokemon Milotic and Sturdy Steelix, making it easier to secure an OHKO. Misty Terrain support from Galarian Weezing can be run alongside dual screens support because it negates the effect of status so Barbaracle can safely set up on Pokemon like Galarian Slowbro, Togekiss, and Milotic. Water-types like Milotic and Suicune can stop Barbaracle's attempt at a sweep, so Pokemon to weaken or set upon them such as Lucario, Shift Gear Toxtricity, and Dragon Dance Regidrago make for great teammates. Pokemon that can threaten and set up on Grass-types like Quick Draw Galarian Slowbro and the aforementioned Toxtricity and Regidrago make helpful teammates. Fairy-types like Mimikyu are also helpful teammates, since they are able to use Fighting-types as setup bait.

Barbaracle is a reliable Shell Smash sweeper, due to Barbaracle's bulk and typing it can set up on Fire-types such as Incineroar and Talonflame. However, it faces stiff competition from other Shell Smash abusers users like Cloyster and Poltegiest (typo) because they lack reliable checks (no they don't) and have more openings to set up. Grass Knot lets Barbaracle bluster (???, "to talk or act with noisy swaggering threats" (Merriam-Webster)) Pokemon such as Gastrodon and Seismitoad. Poison Jab can be utilized to secure a OHKO hit Zarude instead of missing out on the 2HKO with Stone Edge. Either X-Scissor, G-knot or Protect in last slot. White Herb is a vital item on Barbaracle because it removes Defense and Special Defense drops after a Shell Smash, it also allows Barbaracle to not take to much damage when setting up. Life Orb can be used over White Herb to provide more damage input while also being able to get some OHKOs on Zarude and Cobalion via +2 Stone Edge and Liquidation. (switch these sentences around, Life Orb is first slash) However, if you are using Life Orb as Barbaracle you will have a hard time finding way to set up. (no it won't)

Due to Barbaracle being a set up sweeper its natural habitat (???, why are you using natural habitat) is on Hyper Offensive teams. Barbaracle usually likes to have screen support from the likes of Vanilluxe or Klefki so that it can get more opportunities to set up. Hazard support from Golispod (typo) and Roserade could can be helpful so Barabaracle (typo) can wear down Pokemon (add examples), making it easier secure a OHKO. Knock Off users work alongside Barbaracle very well (reword) since they are able to remove key items such as Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers. Water-type Pokemon like Milotic and Suicune can sustain Barbaracle from being able to pressure teams (reword). So answers to bulky Water-type pokemon include Electric-and Grass-types such as Raikou and Zarude.* Pokemon that can threaten Grass-types like Galarian Slowbro and Incineroar make helpful teammates.*

* I'd rather you focus on things that can weaken these mons, such as Lucario etc.
* Rather than focus on defensive measures, offensive ones can work well too. For example, Slurpuff deters fighting types to revenge Barbaracle, as it'll allow Slurpuff free set-up.

Fix these things then get back to me, I'll also discuss with qc about items and last move slashes.

e: tect/gknot on last move, LO white herb item
Including Misty Terrain support is also an idea that is possible on HOs

Life Orb provides more damage input (its output) while also for example, being able to get some OHKOs on Zarude and Cobalion via +2 Stone Edge and Liquidation, respectively. However, if you are using Life Orb as Barbaracle you will be easily chipped Shell Smash (fix this sentence). White Herb can be used over Life Orb because it is a vital item (clearly ain't as it is slashed) on Barbaracle because it removes Defense and Special Defense drops after a Shell Smash, it also which allows Barbaracle to not take too as much damage when setting up.

Due to Barbaracle being a setup sweeper it mainly fits on Hyper Offensive Offense teams. Barbaracle usually likes to have screen support from the likes of Vanilluxe or Klefki so that it can get more opportunities to set up. Hazard support from Golisopod and Roserade can also be helpful so Barbaracle can wear down Pokemon, making it easier to secure an OHKO. Misty Terrain support could also be helpful because it negates the effect for Pokemon to use status moves (this is not how misty terrain works, read up). Water-type Pokemon like Milotic and Suicune can sustain Barbaracle from being able to deteriorate opposing teams (this still doesn't make sense, don't overcomplicate the sentences). So answers to bulky Water-type pokemon include Electric-and Grass-types such as Raikou and Zarude.* (remove) Pokemon that can threaten Grass-types like Galarian Slowbro and Incineroar make helpful teammates. * Fairy-types like Slurpuff and Togekiss are helpful teammates since they are able to switch into Fighting-types such as Mienshao. *

* This isn't how you play Barbaracle, instead of 'mons that can switch in, think that it wants mons that can set up on what revenges it. For example Slurpuff for fightings, Toxtricity for grasses, Cloyster for grounds, etc.

Life Orb provides more damage output, for example, being able to OHKO on Zarude and Cobalion via +2 Stone Edge and Liquidation, respectively. However, when using Life Orb on Barbaracle you can be easily taken advantage of when a Shell Smash is up the Life Orb recoil coupled with the defense drops from Shell Smash makes Barbaracle easy to wear down and revenge kill (In what ways Barbaracle can be taken advantage of was unclear, so I reworded it.).
