Bulk Up enables Floatzel to sweep teams, take advantage of its offensive flexibility, and take a hit after it sets up. Ice Spinner nails bulky Grass-types like Dipplin and Hisuian Decidueye. Aqua Jet lets Floatzel pick off faster revenge killers like Jolteon and Choice Scarf Mesprit. Leftovers gives Floatzel some longevity as it sets up, enabling it to overcome physically defensive Pokemon like Orthworm and Sandaconda without hemorrhaging all of its health. Water Veil prevents burns from Weezing and Palossand. Tera Water boosts Floatzel's Wave Crash to wash away slower Pokemon; Floatzel's +1 Tera Water-boosted Aqua Jet does at least 36% to Choice Scarf users like Mesprit and Passimian, preventing their revenge killing attempts.

Floatzel fits well on offensive and balance teams alike thanks to its great offensive potential and high Speed. Offensive teams particularly appreciate Floatzel as a sweeper that can run over walls like Regirock and Palossand. Floatzel is an asset to balance teams with its natural speed control, and they can support it with defensive pivots such as Mesprit for an easier time setting up. Floatzel is generally a Choice item user, so the surprise of Bulk Up when it is positioned to claim a KO can swing a game in its favor. Entry hazards from setters like Hisuian Qwilfish, Orthworm, and Lycanroc can help Floatzel overwhelm bulkier foes like Dipplin. Floatzel struggles to break Lanturn and cannot break it at all if Lanturn has Water Absorb, which similarly applies to Poliwrath, so Grass-types like Whimsicott and Dipplin can handle these foes for Floatzel. Qwilfish is another annoying bulky Water-type to Floatzel, so Magneton and Mesprit make great partners by threatening it. Healing Wish users, including Mesprit and Shaymin, support Floatzel by giving it a second chance to sweep, which is especially useful when it takes recoil damage from Wave Crash or if it's been paralyzed. Opportunities for Floatzel to set up comfortably can be created by pivots like Jolteon, Passimian, and Vikavolt; Encore users like Grafaiai and Mesprit are especially good at making these advantageous situations for Floatzel. Whimsicott and Articuno are pivots that can lure in Fire-types like Charizard and Typhlosion for Floatzel. Floatzel has to fear faster Electric-type revenge killers like Jolteon and Choice Scarf Magneton if they haven't been worn down into range of being KOed by Aqua Jet, so it depends on partners like Lanturn, Porygon2, and Snorlax handling them. Whimsicott is another revenge killer Floatzel has to fear, one that can be handled by Charizard, Magneton, and Articuno. Physical wallbreakers like Brute Bonnet and Glastrier can soften up teams for Floatzel to sweep, and cleaners like Lycanroc and Sneasel can take advantage of the holes Floatzel itself may open up for them.

Floatzel needs a BU boost before it does 36 to either.

I think mentioning Floatzel being a choice-locked mon generally is worth it as the surprise element of clicking Bulk Up when positioned to claim a kill can swing a game in your favor - up to you here.

Really good work, one small thing to fix in paragraph one and a side note in paragraph two that you're welcome to implement or not :)

Floatzel is an asset to balance teams with its natural speed control, and balance teams they can support Floatzel it with defensive pivots for an easier time setting up. (any relevant examples for this point? you talk about pivots later so this could be merged into that so the examples flow from the idea) Floatzel is generally a Choice item user, so the surprise of Bulk Up when Floatzel it is positioned to claim a KO can swing a game in its favor. Entry hazards from setters like Hisuian Qwilfish, Orthworm, and Lycanroc can help Floatzel overwhelm bulkier foes like Dipplin. Floatzel struggles to break Lanturn (RC) and it cannot break it at all (removes 'it' applying to both floatzel and lanturn) if Lanturn has Water Absorb, which similarly applies to Poliwrath, so Grass-types like Whimsicott and Dipplin can handle these foes for Floatzel.
