With an excellent Speed tier, a high Attack stat, and great coverage options, Barraskewda is a top-tier wallbreaker in the metagame; being able to threaten common Pokemon like Salazzle and Steelix with its powerful STAB move in Liquidation. Psychic Fangs allows Barraskewda to deal significant damage to prevalent Pokemon such as Vileplume and Virizion and even threaten them with an OHKO. Crunch hits one of its most prominent checks in Jellicent for super effective damage as well as hitting Pokemon like Dhelmise and Decidueye. Close Combat hits Pokemon like Copperajah and Bewear incredibly hard; however, you can drop it for Aqua Jet, which revenge kills weakened Choice Scarf users such as the incredibly prominent Passimian.

Barraskewda benefits a lot from being brought in safely, so Pokemon with pivoting moves such as Passimian, Rillaboom, Rotom, and Silvally make for great teammates. Barraskewda also struggles to break through Gastrodon because all of its moves fail to 2HKO it, so Pokemon like Vileplume and Virizion work as great partners for Barraskewda due to the ability to deal with Gastrodon and other bulky Water-types such as Quagsire and the aforementioned Jellicent, making it easier for it to break through the opposing team. Additionally, Barraskewda can deal with Pokemon that give them trouble such as Centiskorch and Charizard, allowing them to effectively perform their role.

There are a few liberal changes here meant to minimize repetition. There are many ways to describe moves besides "move allows mon to..." :).

With an excellent Speed tier, a high Attack stat, (AC) and great coverage options, Barraskewda is one of the tier's premier wallbreakers, being able to threaten common Pokemon like Salazzle and Steelix with its powerful STAB in Liquidation (or "STAB move in Liquidation"). Psychic Fangs allows Barraskewda to deal significant damage to prevalent Pokemon such as Vileplume and Virizion and even threaten them with an OHKO. Crunch allows it to hits one of its Barraskewda's most (notable?) checks in Jellicent for super effective (RH) damage, (AC) as well as stuff Pokemon like Dhelmise and Decidueye. Close Combat allows it to deals significant damage to Pokemon like Copperajah and Bewear; (C->SC) however, (AC) you can drop it for Aqua Jet, which allows it Barraskewda to revenge kill weakened Choice Scarfers Scarf users such as the incredibly prominent Passimian.

Barraskewda benefits a lot of from being brought in safely to function as a powerful wallbreaker, so Pokemon with pivoting moves like Passimian, Rillaboom, Rotom, (AC) and Silvally all allow Barraskewda to come in much more safely through pivoting, making them (redundant) are great teammates. Meanwhile, (meanwhile doesn't really fit here) Barraskewda also struggles to break through Gastrodon as because all of its moves fail to 2HKO Gastrodon, so Pokemon such as Vileplume and Virizion make for great synergy work great with Barraskewda by for (idk what wording you meant to use, but this is one valid config) dealing with Gastrodon and other bulky waters Water-types such as Quagsire and the aforementioned Jellicent, making it easier for it to break through the opposing team. Additionally, Barraskewda can deal with the Pokemon that give them trouble such as Centiskorch and Charizard, allowing them to effectively perform their role.
