[SET COMMENTS]

Trick can cripple special walls such as Milotic and Alolan Sandslash, allowing Florges and it's teammates to break through them easier. Tera Blast can be used on sets that utilise Tera Ground to break through common Florges switch ins such as Alolan Sandslash, Rhydon, and Fire-types such as Arcanine and Delphox that Florges might otherwise struggle with. Psychic Noise can be used to beat Poison-types such as Amoonguss and Salazzle while also making sure special walls such as Milotic and opposing Florges cannot heal off it's damage. Synthesis can alternatively be used to make sure Florges can keep itself healthy over a match while letting it help check Pokemon such as Goodra and Tatsugiri. Tera Ground is primarily used on sets that pack Tera Blast, hitting the majority of Florges's usual checks such as Alolan Sandslash and Arcanine. Tera Fairy can be used to boost Florges's Moonblast to astonishing power, allowing it to 2HKO both Rotom-H and specially defensive Milotic.

Florges fits best on bulky offense and balance teams, who appreciate its wall breaking power and ability to soft check Pokemon such as Goodra and Hitmonlee. While it does have options to hit Fire- and Steel-types, Florges typically has to utilise Tera to do so. Therefore, Pokemon such as Arcanine and Bruxish that can take on these Pokemon are great for Florges so it can use options like Synthesis. Conversly, Pokemon such as Alolan Sandslash, Tatsugiri, and Hisuian Qwilfish that heavily struggle with Fire- and Steel-types love Florges's ability to lure them in with Tera Blast and remove them from the battle, which can make them a lot more threatening. Pivot Pokemon such as Rotom-H, Zoroark, and Bruxish are great for Florges, as they can help it get in and out of battle easily. A majority of Florges's checks are Stealth Rock weak, so Knock Off users such as Ambipom and Alolan Sandslash can help remove their items for Florges so it can wallbreak much more effectively. Paralysis users such as Rotom-H, Dudunsparce, and Uxie are great partners for Florges, as they can slow down faster foes such as Salazzle and Paldean Tauros-F that would usually be able to outspeed it, while in return Florges can threaten out common paralysis absorbers such as Milotic, Pawmot, and Mudsdale they might struggle with.

[SET COMMENTS]

(I would add a quick opening sentence here on why Specs Florges is good and why its used, ie sky high SpA, Moonblast resists are limited, solid bulk for an attacker) Trick can cripple special walls such as Frosmoth (nuked, id add Milo here.) and Alolan Sandslash, allowing Florges and it's teammates to break through them easier. Tera blast Blast can be used on sets that utilise Tera Ground to break through common Florges switch ins such as Alolan Sandslash, Galarian Slowbro (nuked, mention something else here like Rhydon), and Fire-types such as Arcanine and Delphox that Florges might otherwise struggle with. Psychic Noise can be used to beat Poison-types such as Amoonguss and Salazzle while also making sure special walls such as Milotic and opposing Florges cannot heal off it's damage. Synthesis can alternatively be used to make sure Florges can keep itself healthy over a match while letting it help check Pokemon such as Goodra and Tatsugiri. (Probably mention that Synthesis is really good on bulkier teams running like Milo-Muds cores that don't like their wall getting crippled and lets florges be more of a nusiance post trick) Tera Ground is primarily used on sets that pack Tera Blast, hitting the majority of Florges's usual checks such as Alolan Sandslash and Arcanine. (could mention some nice defensive benefits here too, since the Double Shock Immunity or the Poison resist can come in clutch alot.) Tera Fairy can be used to boost Florges's Moonblast to astonishing power, allowing it to 2HKO both Rotom-H and specially defensive Milotic.

Florges fits best on bulky offense and balance teams, who appreciate its wall breaking power and ability to soft check Pokemon such as Goodra and Hitmonlee (you really aren't liking to take on Hitmonlee with Specs florges, something like Jolteon or Trode is likely a better mention here.). While it does have options to hit Fire- and Steel-types, Florges typically has to utilise Tera to do so. Therefore, Pokemon such as Arcanine and Bruxish that can take on these Pokemon (such as?) are great for Florges so it can use options like Synthesis. Conversly, Pokemon such as Alolan Sandslash, Tatsugiri, and Hisuian Qwilfish that heavily struggle with Fire- and Steel-types love Florges's ability to lure them in with Tera Blast and remove them from the battle, which can make them a lot more threatening. Pivot Pokemon such as Rotom-H, Zoroark, and Bruxish are great for Florges, as they can help it get in and out of battle easily. (mention how alot of these lure in things that florges just clicks buttons on, like Rhydon for Rotom-H and Zoro and H qwil for brux) A majority of Florges's checks are Stealth Rock weak, so Knock Off users such as Ambipom and Alolan Sandslash can help remove their items for Florges so it can wallbreak much more effectively. (could mention how both also provide good pivot support and hazards of their own for florges) Paralysis users such as Rotom-H (can't really fit twae much sadly, something like grimm is probably better here to talk about), Dudunsparce, and Uxie are great partners for Florges, as they can slow down faster foes such as Salazzle and Paldean Tauros-F that would usually be able to outspeed it, while in return Florges can threaten out common paralysis absorbers such as Milotic, Pawmot, and Mudsdale they might struggle with.
