[SET COMMENTS]

Bruxish serves as one of PU's most frightening wallbreakers thanks to its high Attack and alright Speed stat, its access to Strong Jaw, great move options with a great STAB combination, priority, pivoting moves, and coverage options. It 2HKOes a vast majority of the tier's staple walls, like Bellibolt, Mudsdale, Galarian Slowbro, and Gastrodon, with its terrifying STAB attacks. Aqua Jet is used to deal with faster weakened threats and setup sweepers, such as Choice Scarf Flamigo and Salazzle. Finally, Flip Turn lets Bruxish safely switch out of bad matchups, such as Wo-Chien and Bronzong. Tera Psychic can be used to let Psychic Fangs OHKO Pokemon like bulky Florges, and it removes Bruxish's weaknesses to the Grass- and Electric-types that litter the tier. Tera Water can be used to OHKO foes like Bronzong and Alolan Sandslash after Stealth Rock chip damage. It also removes Bruxish's Ghost and Dark weaknesses, making Pokemon like Decidueye easier to deal with.

Due to Bruxish's pitiful defenses and rather mediocre Speed stat, it fits best on bulky balance and offense teams to make up for its lackluster hit-taking abilities. Bruxish struggles with faster or bulkier Dark-type Pokemon such as Zoroark and Wo-Chien, so it really appreciates Fighting-type Pokemon like Flamigo and Scrafty, which also provide a valuable Knock Off-resistant teammate. Defensive Ground-types like Gligar work well with Bruxish, as they remove deadly threats like Bellibolt and Choice Scarf Toxtricity, while Bruxish can deal with Pokemon that check them like Hoopa and opposing Gligar. Gastrodon is another valuable defensive Knock Off absorber if it runs Sticky Hold and can set Stealth Rock and deals well with Bruxish's counters, such as Eviolite Duraludon. Faster Grass- and Electric-type Pokemon, such as Kilowattrel and Choice Scarf Rotom-C, threaten Bruxish immensely, so teammates that resist their moves such as Rotom-H and Venusaur are great teammates, along with being more reliable checks to Paldean Tauros-W than Bruxish. In return, Bruxish can take out the Poison- and Rock-type Pokemon that threaten them such as Salazzle, Galarian Slowbro, and Coalossal. Teammates such as Choice Scarf Toxtricity and Arcanine appreciate Bruxish, as it can remove the bulky Pokemon that wall them such as Coalossal, Gligar, and Mudsdale. Thanks to Bruxish's wallbreaking ability, it makes for a great teammate for late-game sweepers and cleaners, such as Staraptor, Salazzle, and Ambipom.

Bruxish serves as one of PU’s most frightening wallbreakers to deal with, with its decent 102 Attack stat (feels a bit too dex-y so i would avoid this; saying something like
High Attack and Decent Speed" is probably better here.) its access to Strong Jaw and great move options. Strong Jaw boosts its biting moves by 1.5x, so move like Psychic Fangs and Crunch are boosted to monstrous levels, ripping holes in most of the unresisted metagame. Dazzling may be used to block priority like Sucker Punch and Shadow Sneak, but is highly unrecommended for it has a massive damage decrease. (both of these basically are explaining what they do dex wise, so theres no need to add.) Psychic Fangs is Bruxish’s main way of dealing damage, OHKOing threats such as Toxtricity, both Paldean Tauros formes, Hariyama, Heracross and Ambipom, as well as 2HKOing several defensive walls, such as Galarian Slowbro, Florges, Milotic and even Bellibolt after hazards chip. Wave Crash is its secondary STAB option, OHKOing threats such as Arcanine, Skuntank, Coalossal and Golurk, and 2HKOing Pokemon like Alolan Sandslash, Mudsdale and Bronzong, though one must be wary of Storm Drain users, such as Tatsugiri and Gastrodon. Liquidation can also be used for a risk-free STAB option in return of a significant power decrease. (We dont really need to explain STAB + Liquidation is not really viable anyways.) Flip Turn is used for a strong STAB pivot option, so Bruxish can safely switch out of bad match-ups (such as? Also, mention how it allows it to operate as a pivot to help bring in teammates who could struggle coming on the field safely otherwise like Decid or Toxt.). Aqua Jet can be used instead, for a way to deal with weakened threats (Mention some examples? Good ones could be things like Scarf migo / raptor or Salazle.) that outspeed Bruxish. (This should be mentioned before Flip Turn, as its slashed first.) Finally, Crunch is used to rip holes into Pokemon like Bronzong (who otherwise walls bruxish), and straight up OHKO mons Psychic- and Ghost-types like Meloetta and Decidueye. Tera Psychic and Tera Water can all be used to boost Bruxish’s moves even further. (This feels very very vague and needs to be expanded on. For Tera Psychic, mention how you boost Psychic Fangs to super high levels, As you can OHKO Florges and Specially Defensive Gastrodon with it, while also removing the Electric- and Grass-type weaknesses which can be useful. For Tera Water, you can mention the same basics (it Boosts STABs while also giving a good defensive typing for prio) and mention some rolls you hit with wave crash, ie you confirm the OHKO on Mudsdale and Bronzong after rocks.)

Due to Bruxish’s pitiful defences, as well as a rather mediocre speed stat, it fits best on bulky balance and offense teams to make up for its lackluster hit-taking abilities. Bruxish struggles with faster or bulkier Dark-type Pokemon such as Wo-Chien and Zoroark (swap these around so it doesnt seem like your calling wochien fast.), so it really appreciates Fighting-type Pokemon like Flamigo and Scrafty. (mention how these can be knock resists too.) Defensive Ground-types like Gastrodon and Gligar work well with Bruxish, as they remove deadly threats like Bellibolt and Scarf Toxtricity. (and what does bruxish do in turn for these two?) Gastrodon is particularly one of Bruxish’s best teammates, as it is also a valuable Knock Off absorber if it runs Sticky Hold, sets Stealth Rock for great utility, and deals with perhaps Bruxish’s best counter, Eviolite Duraludon (the best counter imo is zong. Mention how it can swap into brux offensive swaps like kilowatt instead.) . Scarf Rotom-M formes can also provide issues, so running bulky Grass-types like Venusaur, Wo-Chien and your own Rotom formes help Bruxish out immensely. (does this not apply to any faster attacker?)
(Mentioning how Bruxish threatens the Ground-types in the tier like Muds and Gligar as well as coal extremely well makes partners like Arcanine and Toxt more deathly should be mentioned here.)

Bruxish serves as one of PU’s most frightening wallbreakers to deal with, with its high Attack and alright Speed stat, its access to Strong Jaw and great move options. Strong Jaw boosts its biting moves to incredible levels, ripping holes in most of the unresisted metagame. (If you want to mention Strong Jaw, put it AFTER you talk about its moves.) Psychic Fangs is Bruxish’s main way of dealing damage, OHKOing threats such as Toxtricity, both Paldean Tauros formes, Hariyama, Heracross and Ambipom, as well as 2HKOing several defensive walls, such as Galarian Slowbro, Florges, Milotic and even Bellibolt after hazards chip. Wave Crash is its secondary STAB option, OHKOing threats such as Arcanine, Skuntank, Coalossal and Golurk, and 2HKOing Pokemon like Alolan Sandslash, Mudsdale and Bronzong, though one must be wary of Storm Drain users, such as Tatsugiri and Gastrodon. (generally we dont need to talk about STABs.) Aqua Jet is used to deal with weakened threats and setup sweepers that outspeed Bruxish, such as Scarf Flamigo and Salazzle. Alternatively, Flip Turn is used for a strong STAB pivot option, so Bruxish can safely switch out of bad match-ups, such as Wo-Chien and Bronzong. Finally, Crunch is used to rip holes into Pokemon like Bronzong, which would otherwise wall it, and OHKO Psychic-type and Ghost-type Pokemon like Meloetta and Decidueye. Tera Psychic can be used to boost Psychic Fangs to monstrous levels, allowing it to OHKO Pokemon like Goodra, and removes its weakness to the Grass-types and Electrics types Grass- and Electric-type which litter the tier. Tera Water can be used to turn boost Wave Crash and rolls into OHKOs, like Mudsdale, Bronzong and Alolan Sandlash, the latter two requiring Stealth Rock chip. It also removes Bruxish's Ghost and Dark weaknesses, making Pokemon like Decidueye easier to deal with.

Due to Bruxish’s pitiful defences, as well as a rather mediocre speed stat, it fits best on bulky balance and offense teams to make up for its lackluster hit-taking abilities.

Faster Grass-type and Electric-type Pokemon (such as?) threaten Bruxish immensely, so resists such as Venusaur and Rotom-H are great teammates, while in return Bruxish can take out the Water-type and Psychic-type Poison- and Rock-type Pokemon that threaten them such as Salazzle, Galarian Slowbro, and Coalossal. Teammates such as Scarf Toxtricity and Arcanine appreciate Bruxish, (change this period to a comma) as it can remove the Ground-types that wall them. Thanks to Bruxish's ability to remove walls such as Coalossal, Gligar, and Mudsdale from the opposing team, it makes for a great teammate for late-game sweepers and cleaners, such as Ambipom, Staraptor and Salazzle. (swap Ambipom to the last mention as you are wording it atm like ambi is a sweeper when its a cleaner.)

only some minor adjustments to the previous set. ajet is too important to slash with anything, and the same mostly goes for flip turn. you already ohko decidueye with psyfangs and do the same to melo with wave crash after some chip, which you can get with flip turn, so crunch doesn't really hit anything besides bronzong.

[SET COMMENTS]

Bruxish serves as one of PU’s most frightening wallbreakers to deal with, with its high Attack and alright Speed stat, its access to Strong Jaw and great move options (what exactly do you mean here? coverage? the strength of the moves?) (you should mention that it 2hkoes popular physical walls like gastrodon, bellibolt, glowbro, mudsdale, etc. to make it clear why it's such a good wallbreaker.). Aqua Jet is used to deal with weakened threats and set-up sweepers that outspeed Bruxish, such as Scarf Flamigo and Salazzle. Alternatively, Flip Turn is used for a strong STAB pivot option, so Bruxish can safely switch out of bad match-ups, such as Wo-Chien and Bronzong. Finally, Crunch is used to rip holes into Pokemon like Bronzong, which would otherwise wall it, and OHKO Psychic-type and Ghost-type Pokemon like Meloetta and Decidueye. Tera Psychic can be used to boost Psychic Fangs to monstrous levels, allowing it to OHKO Pokemon like Goodra (goodra is ohkoed whether you tera or not.), and removes its weakness to the Grass and Electric-types which litter the tier. Tera Water can be used to boost Wave Crashe and allows OHKOs, like Mudsdale (drop this example, regular wave crash does too much to where muds shouldn't try to stay in on you anyway.), Bronzong and Alolan Sandslash, the latter two requiring Stealth Rock chip. It also removes Bruxish's Ghost and Dark weaknesses, making Pokemon like Decidueye easier to deal with.

Due to Bruxish’s pitiful defences, as well as a rather mediocre speed stat, it fits best on bulky balance and offense teams to make up for its lackluster hit-taking abilities. Bruxish struggles with faster or bulkier Dark-type Pokemon such as Zoroark and Wo-Chien, so it really appreciates Fighting-type Pokemon like Flamigo and Scrafty which also provide a valuable Knock Off resist.

Gastrodon is one of Bruxish’s best teammates, as it is also a valuable Knock Off absorber if it runs Sticky Hold, sets Stealth Rock for great utility, and deals well with Bruxish's counters, such as Eviolite Duraludon (connect this sentence to the previous one, gastrodon is also a defensive ground-type.). Faster Grass and Electric-type Pokemon, such as Kilowattrel and Scarf Rotom-Mow and Rotom-Heat, threaten Bruxish immensely, so resists such as Venusaur and Rotom-H (swap the order of these two mons to match kilo and mowtom.) (also mention that venusaur is a more reliable check to paldean tauros-w than bruxish.) are great teammates, while in return Bruxish can take out the Poison and Rock-type Pokemon that threaten them such as Salazzle, Galarian Slowbro, and Coalossal. Teammates such as Scarf Toxtricity and Arcanine appreciate Bruxish, as it can remove the Ground-types that wall them such as Coalossal (not a ground-type, but still a good example. could just generalize this sentence and say "remove walls" + reword the following sentence so it doesn't read repetitively.), Gligar, and Mudsdale. Thanks to Bruxish's ability to remove walls from the opposing team, it makes for a great teammate for late-game sweepers and cleaners, such as Staraptor, Salazzle and Ambipom.

Aqua Jet is used to deal with faster weakened threats and setup set-up sweepers that outspeed Bruxish, such as Choice Scarf Flamigo and Salazzle. Finally, Flip Turn is used for a strong STAB pivot option, so lets Bruxish can safely switch out of bad matchups match-ups, such as Wo-Chien and Bronzong. Tera Psychic can be used to boost Psychic Fangs to monstrous levels, allowing it to let Psychic Fangs OHKO Pokemon like bulky Florges, and it removes Bruxish's weaknesses its weakness to the Grass Grass- and Electric-types that which litter the tier. Tera Water can be used to OHKO foes boost Wave Crash and allows OHKOs, like Bronzong and Alolan Sandslash after Stealth Rock chip damage, the latter two requiring Stealth Rock chip. It also removes Bruxish's Ghost and Dark weaknesses, making Pokemon like Decidueye easier to deal with.

Due to Bruxish's (ASCII) pitiful defenses and rather defences, as well as a rather mediocre speed Speed stat, it fits best on bulky balance and offense teams to make up for its lackluster hit-taking abilities. Bruxish struggles with faster or bulkier Dark-type Pokemon such as Zoroark and Wo-Chien, so it really appreciates Fighting-type Pokemon like Flamigo and Scrafty, (comma) which also provide a valuable Knock Off-resistant teammate resist.

Alternatively, Gastrodon is another defensive Ground-type that is one of Bruxish's best teammates, as it is also a valuable defensive Knock Off absorber if it runs Sticky Hold (remove comma) sets and can set Stealth Rock and deals for great utility, and deals well with Bruxish's counters, such as Eviolite Duraludon. Faster Grass Grass- and Electric-type Pokemon, such as Kilowattrel and Scarf Rotom-C Mow (look at the GP standards post for pokemon forme names), threaten Bruxish immensely, so resists teammates that resist their moves such as Rotom-H and Venusaur are great teammates, along with being a more reliable checks check to Paldean Tauros-W than Bruxish. In return, (comma) Bruxish can take out the Poison Poison- and Rock-type Pokemon that threaten them such as Salazzle, Galarian Slowbro, and Coalossal. Teammates such as Choice Scarf Toxtricity and Arcanine appreciate Bruxish, as it can remove the bulky Pokemon that wall them such as Coalossal, Gligar, and Mudsdale.
