* Draco Meteor is for Dragon-type Pokemon without defensive items like Haban Berry and Assault Vest, such as Regidrago, Raging Bolt, Dragapult, and non-Choice Specs Kyurem.
* Heavy Slam deals with Fairy-type Pokemon such as Whimsicott, Diancie, and Primarina.
* Acid Spray is used to drop Special Defense, and the combination of Acid Spray + Draco Meteor can KO Pokemon like Porygon-Z, non-Assault Vest or non-Choice Specs Volcanion, non-Clear Amulet Pecharunt, and Life Orb Spectrier.
* Counter is for Pokemon with strong physical moves that don't OHKO Hisuian Goodra, usually Choice Band users like Urshifu-R, Iron Valiant, Chien-Pao, and Meowscarada.
* Hisuian Goodra's EVs maximize HP so that it can tank a Choice Band Close Combat from Iron Valiant and both Urshifu formes while surviving two +1 Life Orb Hexes from Spectrier after chip damage from burn. Its Attack allows it to always OHKO non-bulky sets of Iron Valiant, with the rest of the EVs in Special Attack.
* Because of Sap Sipper, Hisuian Goodra can win against SubSeed Pokemon such as Whimsicott, Serperior, and Ogerpon-W.
* Against Encore + Disable Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Alolan Ninetales, it is necessary to use Heavy Slam turn 1 and switch to Acid Spray on turn 2. Using Acid Spray turn 1 will lose the matchup, as it does not threaten a 2HKO on these foes.
* Since Hisuian Goodra struggles against Ursaluna, Landorus-T, and Donphan, Pokemon like Primarina, Urshifu-R, and Manaphy make good teammates.

* Draco Meteor is for Dragon-type pokemon without defensive items like Haban Berry or Assault Vest such as Choice Scarf (You beat Choice Specs and have coin flip odds vs Choice Band. I think being preemptive about the items makes it read less clunky, since this is something you have to worry about for literally all of these) Regidrago, Raging Bolt, Dragapult and non-Assault Vest or non-Choice Specs (this is fine to keep since you actually don't win) Kyurem.It can also be used to deal large neutral damage against non Dragon-type pokemon after using acid spray. (You talk about this specific interaction later, so you don't need this)
* Heavy slam deals with light (it basically deals with every relevant one so you don't need this) Fairy-type pokemon such as Whimsicott, Diancie, Alolan-Ninetales, Iron Valiant and Primarina.
* Acid Spray is used to drop Special Defense and It allows Draco Meteor to OHKO pokemon that does not faint to one Draco Meteor like Porygon-Z, non-Assault Vest or non-Choice Specs Volcanion, non-Clear Amulet Pecharunt, and Life Orb Spectrier (Volcanion is tricky, AV and Specs with EP/Focus Blast can deal with Hisuian Goodra regardless. Life Orb Spectrier is the EVd example.) without having to use Draco Meteor twice and having a chance to miss twice.
* Counter is for Pokemon with strong physical moves that don't OHKO Goodra-Hisui, like Choice Band Urshifu-R, Choice Band Iron Valiant, Choice Band Chien-Pao and Choice Band Meowscarada.
* Because of Sap Sipper, Hisuian-Goodra win against SubSeed Pokemon such as Whimsciott, Serperior and Ogerpon-W.
* Against Encore + Disable pokemon like Iron Valiant and Alolan-Ninetales, it is better necessary to use Heavy Slam first at first turn Turn 1 and switch to acid spray on Turn 2 at second turn. Using Acid Spray Turn 1 will lose the matchup as it does not threaten a 2HKO. since Acid Spray won't 2HKOes even with struggle which allows the Encore + Disable pokemon to encore Acid spray at second turn and lock you to use Acid Spray and then disable it if you use Acid Spray first turn. (I understand what you're going for, just overwrote it a tad)
* Evs in Defense and Special Defense let Hiusian-Goodra survives against Close Combat from Choice Band Iron Valiant and Urshifu, as well as Hex after a Calm Mind and two turns of Burn chip from Timid Life Orb Spectrier. Attack is for 0 bulk Iron Valiant and the rest are put in Special Attack.
* Since Hisuian Goodra struggles against pokemon like Ursaluna, Landorus-T and Donphan, Pokemon like Primarina, Urshifu-R and Dondozo Corviknight (more relevant example) make a good teammate.

* Draco Meteor is for Dragon-type pokemon without defensive items like Haban Berry or Assault Vest such as Regidrago, Raging Bolt, Dragapult and or non-Choice Specs Kyurem.
* Heavy slam deals with Fairy-type pokemon such as Whimsicott, Diancie, Alolan-Ninetales, Iron Valiant and Primarina. (remove mentions of Alolan Ninetales and Iron Valiant as they are mentioned later in the analysis)
* Acid Spray is used to drop Special Defense and It allows Draco Meteor to OHKO pokemon that does not faint to one Draco Meteor like Porygon-Z, non-Assault Vest or non-Choice Specs Volcanion, non-Clear Amulet Pecharunt, and Life Orb Spectrier without having to use Draco Meteor twice and having a chance to miss twice. (this isn't too relevant and not worth adding imo as the more important point of Acid Spray is making Draco Meteor more powerful, not exactly about missing Draco Meteor)
* Counter is for Pokemon with strong physical moves that don't OHKO Goodra-Hisui, like Choice Band Urshifu-R, Choice Band Iron Valiant, Choice Band Chien-Pao and Choice Band Meowscarada usually Choice Band users like Urshifu-R, Iron Valiant, Chien-Pao, and Meowscarada. (just the same thing you said but shorter, you don't have to repeat Choice Band 4 times)
* Because of Sap Sipper, Hisuian-Goodra can win against SubSeed Pokemon such as Whimsciott, Serperior and Ogerpon-W.
* Against Encore + Disable pokemon like Iron Valiant and Alolan-Ninetales, it is necessary to use Heavy Slam Turn 1 and switch to acid spray on Turn 2. Using Acid Spray Turn 1 will lose the matchup as it does not threaten a 2HKO.
* Evs in Defense and Special Defense let Hiusian-Goodra survives against Close Combat from Choice Band Iron Valiant and Urshifu, as well as Hex after a Calm Mind and two turns of Burn chip from Timid Life Orb Spectrier. Attack is for 0 bulk Iron Valiant and the rest are put in Special Attack. (this is extremely poorly phrased so i'm rewriting it)
Hisuian Goodra's EVs maximize HP so that it can tank a Choice Band Close Combat from Iron Valiant and Urshifu on the physical side, while living two +1 Life Orb Hex from Spectrier after chip damage from burn on the special side. Finally, its Attack allows it to always OHKO non-bulked Iron Valiant, with the rest of the EVs in Special Attack.
* Since Hisuian Goodra struggles against pokemon like Ursaluna, Landorus-T and Donphan, Pokemon like Primarina, Urshifu-R and Corviknight (corviknight does not reliably beat landorus-t) make a good teammates.

In general, I like how information-dense you're able to make this analysis. There's a tendency to overexplain and make things possibly confusing to read in the process, but otherwise, I think it's very well written.

Hello! I have fixed the analysis and ty for the feedback!
And yeah there is alot more for me to learn and improve. I will try to fix the over explaining in my future analysis.


"(This sentence is unclear about what’s OHKOing you and what you’re OHKOing; can you simplify it? We’ll check it again later)"

And here i am not completely sure what you mean so if the analysis still need to be changed, let me know about it! Ty.
 
1/1 GP Team done, credit me and gravebee. don't add amchecker credits until a gp member too - keep it here but for future reference
you can also use this video on how to implement gp checks (point 3) to avoid keeping in the bolded sections

* Draco Meteor is for Dragon-type Pokemon without defensive items like Haban Berry or and Assault Vest, such as Regidrago, Raging Bolt, Dragapult, and non-Choice Specs Kyurem.* Heavy Slam deals with Fairy-type Pokemon such as Whimsicott, Diancie, and Primarina.* Acid Spray is used to drop Special Defense, (AC) and allows the combinationf of Acid Spray + Draco Meteor to can KO Pokemon like Porygon-Z, non-Assault Vest or non-Choice Specs Volcanion, non-Clear Amulet Pecharunt, and Life Orb Spectrier without having to use Draco Meteor twice. (reworded a bit to make it clearer that it's the two together)* Counter is for Pokemon with strong physical moves that don't OHKO Hisuian Goodra, usually Choice Band users like Urshifu-R, Iron Valiant, Chien-Pao, and Meowscarada.* Because of Sap Sipper, Hisuian Goodra can win against SubSeed Pokemon such as Whimsciott Whimsicott, Serperior, (AC) and Ogerpon-W.* Against Encore + Disable Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Alolan Ninetales, it is necessary to use Heavy Slam turn 1 and switch to Acid Spray on turn 2. Using Acid Spray turn 1 will lose the matchup, (AC) as it does not threaten a 2HKO on these foes.* Hisuian Goodra's EVs maximize HP so that it can tank a Choice Band Close Combat from Iron Valiant and Urshifu (just urshifu isnt correct, Urshifu-S is the dark one, Urshifu-R is the water one, and if you mean both you can say 'both urshifu formes') on the physical side (RC) while living surviving two +1 Life Orb Hexes from Spectrier after chip damage from burn on the special side. Its Finally, its ('finally' doesn't really work when there's two things here) Attack allows it to always OHKO non-bulky sets of Iron Valiant, with the rest of the EVs in Special Attack. (the point about the evs should go before all the points about general usage tips, so put it after the counter line) Since Hisuian Goodra struggles against Ursaluna, Landorus-T, and Donphan, Pokemon like Primarina, Urshifu-R, and Manaphy make good teammates.
