Charjabug is the premier Sticky Web setter in ZU. Its excellent physical bulk is boosted further by Eviolite, allowing it to function as a slow pivot with Volt Switch to bring in wallbreakers that are frail or susceptible to being chipped like Pikachu, Life Orb Stonjourner, and Flame Orb Machoke for free. However, a weakness to Stealth Rock and being crippled by Knock Off and opposing Toxic limits its effectiveness in this role. Skitter Smack with its respectable Attack is surprisingly useful, helping it take more hits from special attackers and being effective against top tier threats like Galarian Linoone, Beheeyem, and Galarian Mr. Mime. Toxic offers utility in wearing down opposing walls and hazard control, as Defog and Rapid Spin users like Vullaby, Vespiquen, Galarian Mr. Mime, and Wartortle often switch into Charjabug to remove its Sticky Web. Finally, Thunder Wave can be used as an additional form of speed control that cripples Rapid Spin users like Galarian Mr. Mime and Wartortle more severely than Toxic.

As Charjabug's primary role is setting up Sticky Web, Pokemon that deter hazard removal are ideal partners. Defiant Farfetch'd and Competitive Gothitelle punish Defog, and Gourgeist-L, Dusclops, and Shedinja stop Rapid Spin attempts from users like Wartortle and Galarian Mr. Mime. Slower, stronger attackers are ideal partners thanks to Sticky Web, namely Fraxure, Gourgeist-L and Machoke. Grass- and Water-type wallbreakers like Trevenant, Choice Specs Whiscash, and Octillery also complement Charjabug by threatening Ground-type Pokemon like Palpitoad and Hippopotas that block Charjabug's Volt Switch. As Sticky Web teams usually punish hazard removal, further hazard stacking is viable with Stealth Rock users like Krokorok and Stonjourner, the former of which uses Taunt as an additional countermeasure to Defog, Spikes users like Glalie and Maractus, and Toxic Spikes users like Vespiquen and Trubbish all being effective at further supporting wallbreakers and sweepers.

Charjabug is the premier Sticky Web setter in ZU and is the only reason to use it. As it decreases the Speed of all opposing Pokémon upon entry, it's good at supporting Hyper Offensive builds, which thanks to Sticky Web can opt for stronger but slower attackers then other teams in the archetype (fluff). Charjabug has excellent physical bulk boosted further by Eviolite which allows it to function as a slow pivot with Volt Switch, further setting it apart from other Sticky Web users as a key support role on offensive teams with frail Pokémon (I'd also mention how Volt Switch lets Charjabug bring wallbreakers for free). In particular, its typing allows it to check relevant threats like Machoke, Klang, Cufant and Linoone-Galar Maractus, and Kubfu(Maractus isn't really a good example here and Kubfu is unviable, I'd focus on Physical mons that Charja beats). However, a weakness to Stealth Rock, and being crippled by Knock Off and opposing Toxic limits its effectiveness in this role. Skitter Smack from its respectable attack is surprisingly useful, helping it take more hits from the special side and being effective on top-tier threats like Linoone-Galar, Gothitelle, Oranguru, and Mr. Mime-Galar. Toxic offers utility in wearing down opposing walls and hazard control over the course of the battle, as Defog and Rapid Spin users (mention those users) often switch into Charjabug to remove its Sticky Web. Talk about how Thunder Wave is an option for speed control and letting you setup Webs again.

As Charjabug's primary role is setting up Sticky Web, Pokémon who deter hazard removal are ideal partners. Farfetch'd and Gothitelle punish Defog with Defiant and Competitive respectively, and Gourgeist, Dusclops, Shedinja and Lampent stop Rapid Spin users like Wartortle and Mr. Mime-Galar. Charjabug lacks its own recovery, so on balance builds LIckitung is a good partner thanks to its access to Wish and Heal Bell.(I wouldn't use Charjabug in balanced builds). Slower, stronger attackers are ideal partners thanks to Sticky Web, namely Beartic, Gourgeist-Large, Machoke, Gastly, Octillery, Lunatone, Eiscue, Mr. Mime, and Silvally-Ice, who also sponges Knock Off for Charjabug (I'd keep this list shorter personally, while trying to focus on wallbreakers). As Sticky Web teams usually punish hazard removal, further hazard stacking is viable with Stealth Rock users like Krokorok (mention how Krokorok has taunt to avoid defogging) and Cufant, Spikes users like Glalie and Maractus, and Toxic Spikes users like Trubbish and Koffing Skorupi being effective at further supporting wallbreakers and sweepers.

Charjabug is the premier Sticky Web setter in ZU. It has excellent physical bulk boosted further by Eviolite which allows it to function as a slow pivot with Volt Switch, further setting it apart from other Sticky Web users as a key support role on offensive teams with frail Pokémon, (fluff, just delete this part) and allowing it to bring wallbreakers that are susceptible to being chipped like Beartic, Water Spout Octillery, and Flame Orb Machoke in for free (oct is always a wallbreaker, and smogon uses oxford comma). In particular, its typing allows it to check relevant threats like Machoke, Klang, Cufant and Linoone-Galar. (More fluff. The first paragraph for minis don’t go into that much detail, only 1-2 sentences on its use and then explain more about it through its moves / set details, somewhat how you explain its positives / cons as a slow pivot with the previous and following sentences) However, a weakness to Stealth Rock, and being crippled by Knock Off and opposing Toxic limits its effectiveness in this role. Skitter Smack from its respectable attack is surprisingly useful, helping it take more hits from the special side and being effective on top-tier threats like Galarian Linoone Linoone-Galar, Gothitelle, Oranguru, and Galarian Mr. Mime Mr. Mime-Galar(goth is a tricky example as skitter boosts its SpA due to Competitive without 1hkoing it, which is especially bad for cosmic power sets) . Toxic offers utility in wearing down opposing walls and hazard control over the course of the battle, as Defog and Rapid Spin users like Vullaby, Dartrix, Mr. Mime-Galar and Wartortle often switch into Charjabug to remove its Sticky Web. Finally, Thunder Wave can be used as an additional form of speed control that helps Charjabug set up Sticky Web again should it be removed by the opponent, and crippling Rapid Spin users like Mr. Mime-Galar Galarian Mr. Mime and Wartortle more severely than Toxic. (More fluff / GP)

As Charjabug's primary role is setting up Sticky Web, Pokémon who deter hazard removal are ideal partners. Farfetch'd and Gothitelle punish Defog with Defiant and Competitive respectively, and Gourgeist, Dusclops, Shedinja and Lampent stop Rapid Spin users like Wartortle and Mr. Mime-Galar. Slower, stronger attackers are ideal partners thanks to Sticky Web, namely Beartic, Gourgeist-Large and Machoke. (Add a mention that Grass- and Water-type wallbreakers like Maractus, Octilery, and Choice Specs Whiscash are particularly effective at targeting Ground-type Pokemon like Palpitoad and Hippopotas that block Charjabug’s Volt Switch) As Sticky Web teams usually punish hazard removal, further hazard stacking is viable with Stealth Rock users like Krokorok, who uses Taunt as an additional counter to Defog, and Cufant, Spikes users like Glalie and Maractus, and Toxic Spikes users like Trubbish and Koffing being effective at further supporting wallbreakers and sweepers.

Good work! I did some general GP changes I made to keep in mind for future analyses. Use “Galarian” in front of formes, like “Galarian Mr. Mime” and not “Mr. Mime-Galar”. I also cut out chunks of the first paragraph as it should mostly be set details and not usage tips.

Tag me after you implement and I’ll give it one more look.
 
AM GP check for fun. Implement what you want :)

Ho3nConfirm3d, I would recommend using colored text to indicate what type of changes you make when you amcheck. It overall just makes it easier to read checks in general. You did a pretty good job, though!
