Coalossal is great on Rock-type teams because of its access to Spikes and Rapid Spin enabling it to both set and remove entry hazards and its Fire typing allowing it to threaten Steel- and Grass-types like Ferrothorn and Rotom-C, come in on Grass-type attacks from Venusaur and Celebi, and troublesome Fairy-types like Hatterene. Spikes allows it to help chip opposing Pokemon on the switch in to help offensive teammates like Barbaracle and Tyranitar sweep. Fire Blast takes care of troublesome Steel- and Grass-types such as Ferrothorn, Jirachi, and Celebi. Heavy Slam allows Coalossal to greatly damage Fairy-types like Togekiss, Hatterene, and Mimikyu. Rapid Spin gives Rock teams a way to remove hazards like Sticky Web and Toxic Spikes in matchups such as Poison and Bug that could stop a teammate from sweeping. Flame Body is very good against physical attackers such as Jirachi and Bisharp to hinder them with a burn. Use Coalossal early-game to get down Spikes to make it easier for its teammates to sweep. It is also useful mid-game to help get rid of troublesome entry hazards. 252 HP and 252 Special Defense EVs with a Sassy nature let Coalossal take hits from Mew and Hatterene.

Setup sweepers such as Terrakion, Rhyperior, and Tyranitar appreciate Coalossal removing entry hazards like Sticky Web and Toxic Spikes that could stop them from sweeping. Barbaracle is an excellent teammate to take care of Ground-types such as Seismitoad and Mamoswine with Grass Knot and Liquidation, and it appreciates Coalossal to break Dugtrio's Focus Sash with Spikes. Shuckle can form a hazard stacking duo with Coalossal to further support setup Pokemon, setting Stealth Rock and Sticky Web to help its teammates such as Shell Smash Barbaracle, Swords Dance Terrakion, and Dragon Dance Tyranitar sweep. Tyranitar is also useful for setting sand that helps Coalossal stomach special attacks even better. Rhyperior is great for taking care of Corviknight with Smack Down + Earthquake, which Coalossal struggles to deal with. Terrakion can greatly help with taking care of Excadrill, Urshifu-S, and Hydreigon with Close Combat. Lycanroc-D helps to handle Poison-types such as Toxapex and can use Accelerock to finish off Pokemon like Volcarona and Scolipede. Lunatone can also be a good partner, as it can come in on Ground-type attacks Levitate and take care of troubling Pokemon like Toxapex thanks to its Psychic typing.

Coalossal is a great on Rock-type teams because of its access to Spikes and its Fire-typing allowing it to threaten Steel-types like Ferrothorn and be able to handle troublesome Fairy-types like Gardevoir. Spikes allow it to help chip opposing Pokemon on the switch in. Fire Blast makes it able to take care of troublesome Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and Jirachi. Heavy Slam allows Coalossal to greatly damage Fairy-types like Togekiss and Mimikyu. Rapid Spin allows Rock-type teams to have a way to get hazards up such as Sticky Web and Toxic Spikes that could hinder a teammate from sweeping. (Just looking at the order you wrote this, which is nice haha...You should talk about its ability, Flame Body, can counter Choice Scarf Jirachi, well is the only thing that can beat it.)Use Coalossal early-game to get down Spikes to make it easier for its teammates to sweep. It is also usful mid-game to help get rid of troublesome entry hazards. 252 HP and 252 Special Defense EVs with a Sassy nature is to allow it to take hits from Gardevoir and Togkiss.

All teammates appreciates Coalossal for being able to pick up entry hazards. Barbaracle is an excellent teammate because of it being able to take care of Ground-types such as Seismitoad and Mamoswine with Liquidation and Grass Knot and appreciates Coalossal for being able to get up entry hazards that could hinder it from sweeping and help make it easier to sweep with setting down Spikes. Shuckle can form a hazard stacking duo with Coalossal, as Shuckle can put up Stealth Rock and Sticky Web to make it easier for its teammates such as Barbaracle and Tyranitar to sweep. (Mention what Tyranitar does in a separate bullet point or just specify "make it easier for its teammates such as Shell Smash Barbacle and Dragon Dance Tyranitar to sweep) Rhyperior is great for being able to use Smack Down + Earthquake to take care of Corviknight, as Coalossal struggles with taking care of it. Terrakion can greatly help with taking care of Choice Scarf Excadrill, Bisharp and Hydregion.(Think you should add "because of Close Combat" or something. Solrock is inside of QC i think, and it is on Decem's Sample Team, Support + Flare Blitz, Screens backup dd ttar, shell smash barbacle, and swords dance terrakion)

* ' Coalossal is a great on Rock-type teams because of its access to Spikes and its Fire-typing allowing it to threaten Steel-types like Ferrothorn and be able to handle troublesome Fairy-types like Gardevoir.' Remove Gardevoir since it has fallen out of usage considerably, instead add probably Hatterene.

* 'Spikes allow it to help chip opposing Pokemon on the switch in.' This is too simple, I need you to elaborate on this a bit more and talk about how Spikes are great for offensive teammates like x and x.

* ' Rapid Spin allows Rock-type teams to have a way to get hazards up such as Sticky Web and Toxic Spikes that could hinder a teammate from sweeping. ' way to get hazards up? I think you meant a way to keep hazards away. Change this. You can even give examples against types where rapid spin will work like against Bug, and Poison.

* ' 252 HP and 252 Special Defense EVs with a Sassy nature is to allow it to take hits from Gardevoir and Togkiss.' Togekiss is not really a threat to Rock. Remove Gardevoir as well, add another examples here.

* ' Barbaracle is an excellent teammate because of it being able to take care of Ground-types such as Seismitoad and Mamoswine and appreciates Coalossal for being able to get up entry hazards that could hinder it from sweeping and help make it easier to sweep with setting down Spikes.' The second part of this sentence is not really true because if you are running Barbarcale on a team then it is used with Air Balloon to set up shell Smash safely vs ground types so Coalossal's ability to clear away hazards does not really work for it.

* Mention Lycanroc-Dusk as a teammate.

QC 1/2 Good Job!

Coalossal is a great on Rock-type teams because of its access to Spikes and its Fire-typing allowing it to threaten Steel-types like Ferrothorn and be able to handle troublesome Fairy-types like Hatterene.
- Fire typing is good for Grass-type moves too, talk about Rapid Spin in the overview + name examples of notable times when the Grass neutrality can come in handy.

"Spikes allow it to help chip opposing Pokemon on the switch in that can help its offensive teammates like Barbaracle and Tyranitar to sweep. Fire Blast makes it able to take care of troublesome Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and Jirachi."
- In the same vein, you should talk about how Fire Blast beats Grass-type Pokemon too.

"Heavy Slam allows Coalossal to greatly damage Fairy-types like Togekiss and Mimikyu."
- Heavy Slam is important for Hatterene

"Rapid Spin allows Rock-type teams to have a way to get hazards away such as Sticky Web and Toxic Spikes in the Poison- and Bug-type matchup that could hinder a teammate from sweeping."
- Reword this to matchups such as Poison- and Bug-type; there are other matchups that hazards are troublesome in above just being those two.

"Flame Body is also very good against Jirachi to hinder it by a burn. "
- Make this a bit more general and name Jirachi + 1/2 more Pokemon as examples

All teammates appreciates Coalossal for being able to pick up entry hazards.
- Thin this down to setup sweepers and call out Pokemon like Terrakion, Rhyperior, and Tyranitar. Give more context as to how entry hazards are troublesome for these Pokemon too.

"Barbaracle is an excellent teammate because of it being able to take care of Ground-types such as Seismitoad and Mamoswine with Grass Knot and Liquidation and appreciates Coalossal for setting up Spikes to make it easier to sweep. "
- Are there any specific KOs you get using Spikes? I don't think there are any in the Ground matchup, which is the main matchup Barbarcle excels in and is used for, so just say it breaks Dugtrio's Focus Sash there.

Shuckle can form a hazard stacking duo with Coalossal, as Shuckle can put up Stealth Rock and Sticky Web to make it easier for its teammates such as Shell Smash Barbaracle and Dragon Dance Tyranitar to sweep.
- Talk about how they can both support setup and throw in SD Terrakion to give more context as to how they synergize.

"Choice Scarf Terrakion can greatly help with taking care of Choice Scarf Excadrill, Urshifu-S and Hydregion with using Close Combat. "
- Don't have to talk about Choice Scarf Terrakion, Excadrill hardly runs Choice Scarf nowadays either. You can just talk about how Terrakion can handle Excadrill, Urshifu-S, and Hydreigon for it.

- Tyranitar absolutely deserves a mention for its ability to set sand, helping Coalossal stomach special hits even better.


Solrock can be a good teammate to set up Screens to make it easier for set up sweepers to set up and sweep.
- Solrock is pretty mediocre post DLC 1 and this doesn't relate to Coalossal specifically.
