[SET COMMENTS]
Centiskorch is a rather poor choice in the OU thanks to its rather measly stats and underwhelming coverage, making it unable to do much against the likes of offensive Kommo-o, Rotom-H, and Toxapex. Thanks to its unique typing and reasonable bulk, however, the best it can do is a RestTalk set to check threats like Clefable, Dragapult, and Hatterene, but it still faces competition from Rotom-H. Fire Lash is useful for its Defense drops, allowing Centiskorch to take on Clefable one-on-one. Knock Off provides invaluable utility by removing items from the likes of Toxapex and Clefable and can be used to damage Dragapult. Rest and Sleep Talk are used to give Centiskorch longevity and allows it to take on Clefable and other threats in the long run. Speaking of which, the EV spread is tailored to outspeed uninvested Corviknight and stomach two Draco Meteors from Choice Specs Dragapult. Heavy-Duty Boots is nigh mandatory to avoid Stealth Rock damage, as otherwise, Centiskorch would lose half its health switching in. Thus, you should be wary of Knock Off from the likes of Ferrothorn and Mandibuzz when using Centiskorch, unless the opponent's Stealth Rock setter has already fainted.

Centiskorch is better off on balance teams, for which it provides utility checking the likes of Clefable, Hatterene, and Dragapult. The likes of Seismitoad, Toxapex, and Rotom-W are great allies, as they appreciate Centiskorch's ability to deal with offensive Clefable. These three also help to deal with the likes of Barraskewda, Gyarados, and Tyranitar for Centiskorch, as well as improve the Galarian Darmanitan matchup. Ferrothorn and Corviknight also fear Clefable's Flamethrower, which Centiskorch can switch into, and can check threats like Haxorus and Excadrill in return. Teammates that can take advantage of Toxapex, such as Hatterene, Reuniclus, or Life Orb Clefable, (AC) are great allies as well, as Centiskorch can't do much against them.

Centiskorch is nowhere near as flashy or powerful as some of the new additions, but it's respectable Attack stat allows it to pull off a Coil set reasonably well. You should add a sentence here that alludes to why Cenitskorch is regarded as unviable nonetheless. Centiskorch's coverage is great and it can use Coil to patch up its measly Defense stat. Fire Lash and Leech Life are the best options for STAB moves, and Power Whip rounds off the set with coverage for Water-types such as Seismitoad, Gastrodon, and Jellicent. Heavy-Duty Boots is nigh mandatory to avoid Stealth Rock damage. The Speed investment gets the jump in uninvested Corviknight, but more Speed can be used if you so prefer.

Teammates that can capitalize on Centiskorch's breaking prowess are always welcome. Faster attackers like Dragapult, Gengar, and Choice Scarf users can pick up where Centiskorch left off. Setup Sweepers like Gyarados and Togekiss appreciate Centiskroch's role for similar reasons. Centiskorch is probably better off in balance-like teams, so teammates that can cover its weaknesses, Steel-types such as Ferrothorn, Aegislash, and Excadrill resist Rock-moves, the former also resists Water-type moves whereas the latter two also take on Flying-types. Rotom-W also resists Flying- and Water-type moves and can bring in Centiskorch safely with a Volt Switch. Rather than the fact that they resist certain type of moves, I'd like for you to mention specific Pokemon instead, as this illustrates a better idea. Because Centiskorch is unable to do so itself, I think it's also important to mention some Pokemon that deal with Toxapex.

I dont see why you are using flash fire over flame body. Can you explain this?

I dont see why you are using flash fire over flame body. Can you explain this?

Because flash fire gives it an immunity to fire. Also, to activate flame body, you need to take a hit and Centiskorch is not supposed to do that.

Centiskorch is a rather poor choice in the OU thanks to its rather measly stats and underwhelming coverage, leaving it helpless against the likes of Kommo-o, Dragapult, Rotom-H, and Toxapex. Thanks to its unique typing, however, and reasonable bulk, the best it can do is a RestTalk set to check threats like Clefable. But there are still far better choices for a wall in the tier. Fire Lash is useful for its defense drops, allowing Centiskorch to 1v1 Clefable. Knock Off provides invaluable utility and can be used to damage Dragapult and remove items from switch ins such as Toxapex. Speaking of which, the EV spread is tailored to outspeed uninvested Corviknight and stomach two Draco Meteors from Choice Specs Dragapult. Heavy-Duty Boots is nigh mandatory to avoid Stealth Rock damage, as Centiskorch normally loses 50% to Stealth Rock. I know it's self explanatory, but you could add in a line to explain why Rest + Sleep Talk is needed to maintain longevity in order to keep checking threats all game long.

Centiskorch is better off in balance-like teams, for which it can provide defensive utility against special attacking threats like Life Orb Clefable. the likes of Seismitoad, Toxapex, and Rotom-W are great allies as they appreciate something to deal with Offensive Clefable. These two three also help to deal with the likes of Barraskewda, Gyarados, and Tyranitar for Centiskorch. I think you can reword it to explain why those bulky waters are helpful teammates for Centiskorch, and then explain what Centiskorch does for them. Ferrothorn and Corviknight also fear Clefable's Flamethrower and can check threats like Haxorus and Hydreigon for Centiskorch. I think you could also mention some threats for Centiskorch and then list helpful teammates that deal with those threats. For example, Hatterene can help against Toxapex. Also don't forget to stress that Centiskorch hates Knock Off and needs to be careful when switching into Knock Off users like Ferrothorn.

Congrats on getting my first official QC check. 1/2

Centiskorch is a rather poor choice in the OU thanks to its rather measly stats and underwhelming coverage, leaving it helpless against the likes of Kommo-o, Dragapult, Rotom-H, and Toxapex. You mention Dragapult as a Pokemon that Centiskorch struggles with here, yet it's kind of implied that Centiskorch can check Dragapult while in a pinch later in this analysis; which is it? Thanks to its unique typing, however, and reasonable bulk, the best it can do is a RestTalk set to check threats like Clefable. But there are still far better choices for a wall in the tier. Fire Lash is useful for its defense drops, allowing Centiskorch to 1v1 Clefable. Knock Off provides invaluable utility and can be used to damage Dragapult. Something as simple as saying that Rest + Sleep Talk allows Cenitskorch to consistently check Pokemon like Clefable because it lacks any other form of recovery should suffice here. Speaking of which, the EV spread is tailored to outspeed uninvested Corviknight and stomach two Draco Meteors from Choice Specs Dragapult. Heavy-Duty Boots is nigh mandatory to avoid Stealth Rock damage.

Centiskorch is better off in balance-like teams, the likes of Seismitoad, Toxapex, and Rotom-W are great allies as they appreciate something to deal with Offensive Clefable. These two (?) also help to deal with the likes of Barraskewda, Gyarados, and Tyranitar for Centiskorch. Ferrothorn and Corviknight also fear Clefable's Flamethrower and can check threats like Haxorus and Hydreigon for Centiskorch. The fact that they fear Clefable's Flamethrower doesn't necessarily mean much for this analysis. Be clear that they synergize well with Centiskorch particularly because it's able to check Life Orb Clefable.

Centiskorch is a rather poor choice in the OU thanks to its rather measly stats and underwhelming coverage, leaving it helpless against the likes of Kommo-o, Rotom-H, and Toxapex. It's not absolutely helpless against Rotom-H and Toxapex, it forces stalemates against them. You might want to specify offensive Kommo-o as well because Centiskorch's matchup against defensive variants is pretty decent. Thanks to its unique typing, however, and reasonable bulk, the best it can do is a RestTalk set to check threats like Clefable, Dragapult, and Hatterene, but it still faces still competition from Rotom-H. Fire Lash is useful for its defense drops, allowing Centiskorch to 1v1 Clefable.

The likes of Seismitoad, Toxapex, and Rotom-W are great allies as they appreciate something to deal with Offensive Clefable. This is worded a bit confusingly; almost seems like you're saying that they check Clefable. These three also help to deal with the likes of Barraskewda, Gyarados, and Tyranitar for Centiskorch, as well as improve the Galarian Darmanitan matchup. Ferrothorn and Corviknight also fear Clefable's Flamethrower and can check threats like Haxorus and Hydreigon for Centiskorch. It's a bit weird to mention Hydreigon here because it can often abuse Ferrothorn. It's also pretty good at overwhelming Corviknight so I'd prefer if you used another example. Teammates that can take advantage of Toxapex, such as Hatterene, Reuniclus, or Life Orb Clefable are great allies as well, as Centiskorch can't do much against them.
