[SET COMMENTS]

• Fire Blast is Chi-Yu's strongest STAB move without any stat drops. Psychic is an alternative that 2HKOes common switch-ins such as Dachsbun and Toxapex. Overheat facilitates revenge killing, hitting even Pokemon that resist it such as Koraidon hard, and is a better midground play.
• Memento serves as a way to facilitate sweepers like Swords Dance + Flame Charge Koraidon that Chi-Yu is usually paired with.
• Tera Fire powers up Flamethrower and Overheat to nuclear levels, turning 2HKOs against Pokemon such as Koraidon into OHKOs. Tera Dark nullifies Chi-Yu's Stealth Rock weakness while making Dark Pulse 2HKO Dachsbun and Toxapex. Tera Grass should only be used with Tera Blast; it gives Chi-Yu nice resistances to Ground and Water and allows Chi-Yu to OHKO Great Tusk and 2HKO Ting-Lu after Spikes damage.
• Choice Scarf Chi-Yu is a revenge killer best suited for offensive teams.
• Pokemon that can get Chi-Yu safely into the field, such as Koraidon, Miraidon, and Corviknight, are excellent teammates for it. Koraidon also sets up sun, further boosting Chi-Yu's Fire-type attacks.
• Ting-Lu and Glimmora can set entry hazards to guarantee some 2HKOs, such as against opposing Ting-Lu.

Tera Blast should only be used with Grass as your Tera type. (you go into more detail later so I'd drop this) It lures and OHKOes max HP Great Tusk and 2HKOes Ting-Lu.

It gives Chi-Yu a nice Ground and Water resist, allowing it to turn the tables against its checks.
• Choice Scarf Chi-Yu is a revenge killer suited best on offensive teams. Unlike Specs, Scarf relies on prediction and clicking the right moves due to its notorious power difference.
• Pokemon like Koraidon and Ting-lu are perfect partners for Chi-Yu, as they can get Chi-Yu safely into the field and set hazards, respectively, to help it break the opposing team more easily. Koraidon also sets sun, further boosting Chi-Yu's Fire-type attacks. (lowkey filler but also important)

Fire Blast is Chi-Yu's strongest STAB move without any downsides. Psychic is an alternative that 2HKOs common switch-ins such as Dachsbun and Toxapex. Overheat is a nuke that facilitates revenge killing, hitting even Pokemon that resist it such as Koraidon for absurd damage.

I think "absurd damage" is a bit vague, especially when Flamethrower is almost always 2hko'ing Koraidon always. imo calling it a very strong midground would be better suited, because if you just want to damage korai then Psychic is stronger and flame is reliable.

as it lures and OHKOes max HP Great Tusk and 2HKOes Ting-Lu.

252+ SpA Beads of Ruin Tera Grass Chi-Yu Tera Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Vessel of Ruin Ting-Lu: 246-290 (47.8 - 56.4%) -- 32.8% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

A little misleading to say it 2HKO's, would specify that it's a roll or you need a spike up to guarantee (without Protect)

Pokemon like Koraidon and Ting-lu are perfect partners for Chi-Yu, as they can get Chi-Yu safely into the field and set hazards, respectively, to help it break the opposing team more easily. Koraidon also sets sun, further boosting Chi-Yu's Fire-type attacks.

I'd separate these 2 teammate roles into 2 points just so it flows better, and you could add smth like Corviknight as a slow pivot to get it in on walls the same way Koraidon U-turns.

QC 2/2
