[SET COMMENTS]
Keldeo is an amazing special breaker on Fighting teams thanks to its base 129 Special Attack, great typing, a good speed tier that can outspeed threats to Fighting-types like Landorus, and ability to break through most special walls with Secret Sword. Calm Mind boosted Secret Sword allows Keldeo to OHKO walls like Hisuian Goodra, Corviknight, Blissey, and Articuno with Secret Sword, while the boost ensures Keldeo from getting OHKOed from special wallbreakers like Dragapult. Substitute can be used to setup on status spreaders like Galarian Weezing, as well as giving it another opportunity to setup, while Taunt prevents harmful status moves like Toxapex's Haze, Articuno's Whirlwind, Clodsire's Toxic, and Amoonguss's Spore. Vacuum Wave is the final option that is for faster threats like Chien-Pao, Ogerpon-C and Meowscarada after a boost from Calm Mind and Stealth Rock chip. Surf can be used for its higher accuracy and more PP, although Hydro Pump can be used for higher base power and is usually used with Taunt or Vacuum Wave to make breaking quicker. Leftovers provides Keldeo with longevity and a Timid nature allows Keldeo to outspeed Landorus.

Keldeo has an alright speed tier, but can be outsped by a lot of other offensive Pokemon like Ogerpon-H and Iron Valiant, so speed control like Sneasler and Iron Valiant is highly recommended. Sneasler is even better thanks to its ability to threaten Keldeo's Fairy-type resists like Primarina and Azumarill and gives Keldeo time to set up thanks to Switcheroo, while Iron Valiant forces out Dragon-types like Dragapult, Latias, and Latios. Iron Hands is also a great teammate as it can threaten Toxapex, especially if Keldeo forgoes Taunt. Iron Hands also provides Keldeo with slow pivoting in Volt Switch and has amazing bulk especially with Assault Vest, even being able to threaten Flutter Mane and Hatterene. In return, Keldeo can force out Ground-types that would usually threaten Iron Hands. Keldeo cannot switch into most attacks, so defensive Pokemon like Great Tusk and Okidogi are highly appreciated. Great Tusk is especially important as it provides hazard removal and the ability to threaten Water Absorb Clodsire, two of Keldeo's biggest obstacles, while Okidogi can switch into Fairy-types like Iron Valiant. In return, Keldeo can threaten Pokemon that are immune to Ground-type attacks like Skarmory, Corviknight, and Galarian Weezing. Zamazenta loves Keldeo's ability to break through Ground-type cores, while it can clean up a weakened team. Hisuian Lilligant and Breloom are also useful teammates, as they provide setup opportunities with Sleep Powder and Spore respectively, can deal with bulky Water-types like Toxapex and Primarina, while Hisuian Lilligant has Healing Wish support, and Breloom has priority support in Mach Punch. Gallade is a final option, as Keldeo has trouble breaking through Poison-types like Galarian Weezing and Amoongus.

--------
Focus Blast can be run over Sacred Sword for more power, however this makes it harder for Keldeo to break through walls like Blissey and Articuno, as well as the accuracy drop makes it not worth it most of the time. Icy Wind can be used in the second moveslot to hit resists like Latios, Latias, and Dragapult on their switch in, while also creating speed control, but its usage of a utility move makes it difficult to slot.

Keldeo is an amazing special breaker on Fighting teams thanks to its base 129 Special Attack, great typing, and ability to break through most special walls with Secret Sword. Calm Mind allows Keldeo to OHKO walls like Ferrothorn (Ferrothorn is not in the game, maybe put something like Hisuian Goodra or Sableye here) and Corviknight, while also avoiding getting OHKOed from special wallbreakers like non-Choice Specs Flutter Mane and Deoxys-S. Taunt prevents harful harmful status moves like Toxapex's Haze and Amoongus's Toxic, while Substitute can be used to setup on status spreaders like Toxapex (I mean, I guess? Keldeo is not beating a Toxapex no matter how many Calm Mind's you set up, and most Toxapex use Haze anyway, feels like a bit of an inefficient example), as well as giving it another opportunity to setup. Vacuum Wave is the final option that is for faster threats like Chien-Pao and Ogerpon-C. Hydro Pump is recommended due to its higher base power, although Surf can be used for its higher accuracy (might be worth mentioning the additional PP as well, up to you though). Secret Sword is recommended to break through special walls like Blissey, Goodra-H, (add a comma here, useful to keep in mind for future analyses as well) and Articuno. and Leftovers is recommended to provide Keldeo with a form of longevity.

Keldeo has a poor speed tier, so speed control like Sneasler and Iron Valiant is highly recommended to outspeed faster threats like Enamorus and Latios. Snealser Sneasler (typo) is even better thanks to its ability to threaten Keldeo's Fairy-type resists like Primarina and Azumarill. Iron Hands is also a great teammate as it can threaten Toxapex, especially if Keldeo forgoes Taunt. In return, Keldeo can force out Ground-types that would usually threaten Iron Hands (it might be worth mentioning Iron Hands' insane bulk as well, especially with an Assault Vest. Not only this, but Iron Hands can use slow Volt Switch to get Keldeo in easier.). Keldeo cannot switch into most attacks, so defensive Pokemon like Great Tusk and Zamazenta are highly appreciated. Great Tusk also provides entry hazard removal, a large obstacle for Keldeo. (Mention Great Tusk's offensive utility, as it can freely spam Earthquake / Headlong Rush once Keldeo beats Ground-immune Pokemon i.e. Skarmory and Galarian Weezing, as well as beating Water Absorb Clodsire)

Keldeo is an amazing special breaker on Fighting teams thanks to its base 129 Special Attack, great typing, and ability to break through most special walls with Secret Sword (its speed is notable too, outrunning threats like Landorus-I is important for fighting). Calm Mind allows Keldeo to OHKO walls like Hisuian Goodra and Corviknight (Calm Mind doesnt do it, but a Calm Mind Boosted Sacred Sword would. Mentioning the attack is nice), while also avoiding getting OHKOed from special wallbreakers like non-Choice Specs Flutter Mane and Deoxys-S (a bit sus due to it having Eforce...which still kills at +1. Maybe revenge kills via Draco Meteors would do better?). Taunt prevents harmful status moves like Toxapex's Haze and Amoongus's Toxic (amoon is a bit odd since Sub also negates Toxic, maybe focus on Phazing via Articuno instead?), while Substitute can be used to setup on status spreaders like Galarian Weezing, as well as giving it another opportunity to setup. Vacuum Wave is the final option that is for faster threats like Chien-Pao and Ogerpon-C (also Meowscarada, probably OHKOs at +1 after rocks). Hydro Pump is recommended due to its higher base power (mention something H.Pump would beat/where the extra base power matters + mention that Hpump is likely more paired with Taunt/VWave because non Sub is on a timer to break stuff faster), although Surf can be used for its higher accuracy and more PP (and is used with Substitute). Secret Sword is recommended (not recommended since its the only option after alll) to breaks through special walls like Blissey, Goodra-H, and Articuno (alolan muk too, in the dark matchup). Leftovers is recommended to provide Keldeo with a form of longevity.

Keldeo has a poor speed tier (speed tier isnt bad, maybe clarify what threats does it need to look out for that are fast, as early as here rather than later), so speed control like Sneasler and Iron Valiant is highly recommended to outspeed faster threats like Enamorus and Latios. Sneasler is even better thanks to its ability to threaten Keldeo's Fairy-type resists like Primarina and Azumarill (and has switcheroo too for more setup, while IVal deals with mean dragons like Pult which makes Keld cry). Iron Hands is also a great teammate as it can threaten Toxapex, especially if Keldeo forgoes Taunt. Iron Hands also provides Keldeo with slow pivoting in Volt Switch and has amazing bulky especially with Assault Vest (mention which guys it does threaten due to bulk, like Flutter Mane and Hatterene). In return, Keldeo can force out Ground-types that would usually threaten Iron Hands. Keldeo cannot switch into most attacks, so defensive Pokemon like Great Tusk and Zamazenta (zamazenta shouldnt be swapped in recklessly, Great Tusk for phys and Hands / Dogi for special usually) are highly appreciated. Great Tusk is especially important as it provides hazard removal and the ability to threaten Water Absorb Clodsire, two of Keldeo's biggest obstacles. In return, Keldeo can threaten Pokemon that are immune to Ground-type attacks like Skarmory and Galarian Weezing.
Zamazenta can use band which loves keld breaking up defensive cores like Ground and steel so that it can spam attacks with imputiny

Add Hisuian Lili and Breloom, they deal with stinky water types like Toxapex, provide sleep for setup, and H.Lil has H.Wish while loom has Mach Punch which cleans late-game after keld has deal withthe chonky

Gallade could be added as Keldeo is almost uniquely useless vs Poison, so a team mate beating pex is nice

They're all faster and do bad things to Keld)

Keldeo is an amazing special breaker on Fighting teams thanks to its base 129 Special Attack, great typing, a good speed tier that can outspeed threats to Fighting-types like Landorus, and ability to break through most special walls with Secret Sword. Calm Mind allows Keldeo to OHKO walls like Hisuian Goodra and Corviknight with Sacred Secret Sword, while also avoiding getting OHKOed from special wallbreakers like Dragapult. Substitute can be used to setup on status spreaders like Galarian Weezing, as well as giving it another opportunity to setup, while Taunt prevents harmful status moves like Toxapex's Haze and Articuno's Whirlwind (You can also add Clodsire Toxic and Ammonguss Spore too). Vacuum Wave is the final option that is for faster threats like Chien-Pao, Ogerpon-C and Meowscarada after Stealth Rock chip when Keldeo is at +1. Surf can be used for its higher accuracy and more PP, although Hydro Pump can be used for higher base power and is usually used with Taunt or Vacuum Wave to make breaking quicker. Secret Sword breaks through special walls like Blissey, Goodra-H, Alolan Muk, and Articuno (I think you can cover and combine the secret sword line with calm mind so it will be better since you already mentioned in Calm Mind sentence and if you combine, change the order of set as calm mind, secret sword, Sub/taunt/wave and surf).

Keldeo is alright but can be outsped by a lot of other offensive Pokemon like Ogerpon-H and Hisuian Lilligant, Iron Valiant (Keldeo is faster than Hisuian Lilligant so mention someother like maushold, Specs Iron Valiant) so speed control like Sneasler and Iron Valiant is highly recommended. Sneasler is even better thanks to its ability to threaten Keldeo's Fairy-type resists like Primarina and Azumarill and gives Keldeo time to set up thanks to Switcheroo, while Iron Valiant forces out Dragon-types like Dragapult and Roaring Moon. Iron Hands is also a great teammate as it can threaten Toxapex, especially if Keldeo forgoes Taunt. Iron Hands also provides Keldeo with slow pivoting in Volt Switch and has amazing bulk especially with Assault Vest, even being able to threaten Flutter Mane and Hatterene. In return, Keldeo can force out Ground-types that would usually threaten Iron Hands. Keldeo cannot switch into most attacks, so defensive Pokemon like Great Tusk and Okidogi (Could you please explain How Okidogi helps Keldeo and how in return keldeo helps okidogi) are highly appreciated. Great Tusk is especially important as it provides hazard removal and the ability to threaten Water Absorb Clodsire, two of Keldeo's biggest obstacles. In return, Keldeo can threaten Pokemon that are immune to Ground-type attacks like Skarmory, Corviknight, and Galarian Weezing. Zamazenta loves Keldeo's ability to break through Ground-type cores, while it can clean up a weakened team. Hisuian Lilligant and Breloom are also useful teammates, as they provide setup opportunities with Sleep Powder and Spore respectively, can deal with bulky Water-types like Toxapex and Primarina, while Hisuian Lilligant has Healing Wish support, and Breloom has speed control in priority support in the name of Mach Punch. Gallade is a final option, as Keldeo has trouble breaking through Poison-types (Give examples).

Once done, ping me in Monotype Discord and i will review it.

 

[LOrd Fernado]

Ashbala this is ready

 

[Ashbala]

Few more things before approving

Keldeo

Calm Mind boosted Secret Sword allows Keldeo to OHKO walls like Hisuian Goodra, Blissey, Articuno and Corviknight with Secret Sword, while also avoiding the boost ensures Keldeo survives from getting OHKOed from special wallbreakers like Dragapult. Secret Sword can also threaten other special walls like Blissey and Articuno

Vacuum Wave is the final option that is for faster threats like Chien-Pao, Ogerpon-C and Meowscarada after a boost from calm mind and Stealth rock damage. Stealth Rock chip when Keldeo is at +1.

Mention the evs and the item description like, "the given ev spread paired with timid nature ensures to outspeed Landorus-Incarnate and leftovers required for passive recovery" like that at the end of the first para.

Roaring moon isn't a good example because of Dark typing, try to mention Lati twins coz U-turn

Rest all good and Good Job bro

Implement this and after that QC: 2/2
