[SET COMMENTS]
Although its weaknesses greatly limit it, Coalossal provides utility through Stealth Rock, Rapid Spin, Will-O-Wisp, and Spikes and has a unique defensive typing and good bulk, which make it one of the tier's best checks to various threats such as Sigilyph, Centiskorch, and Salazzle. Although Coalossal's typing allows it to check certain Pokemon that are very difficult to handle otherwise, it has a bad defensive typing in the general scope of things, with a plethora of weaknesses exacerbated by the prevalence of Pokemon such as Barraskewda, Scrafty, and Rhyperior. The utility that Coalossal opts for is dependent on the team's needs, with any of the aforementioned moves being great options. For example, if a teammate already covers entry hazard utility, you can switch Stealth Rock out for Will-O-Wisp to pressure Pokemon such as Rhyperior. Stone Edge can be used over Rock Blast, but the higher PP of Rock Blast allows Coalossal to more reliably answer Sigilyph, as Stone Edge can be PP stalled. 28 Speed EVs allow Coalossal to outpace Bronzong, while maximum Attack investment gives Coalossal more reliability against Flame Orb Sigilyph and the 2HKO versus Golurk.

Bug- and Grass-types like Golisopod and Vileplume appreciate Coalossal's ability to handle Fire-types like Salazzle and Flying-types such as Sigilyph for them; they provide various support in return, notably Spikes from Golisopod and status from Vileplume in the form of Sleep Powder, Sludge Bomb, and Effect Spore. Water-types like Milotic and Vaporeon are useful for covering Coalossal's weaknesses to Ground-, Rock-, and Fire-types like Golurk, Rhyperior, and Barraskewda, and Vaporeon's Wish support can make up for Coalossal's lack of recovery. Psychic-types like Galarian Slowbro are great for handling Fighting-types, and partners like Virizion and Heliolisk take advantage of the Water-types that Coalossal struggles against and benefit from the damage racked up from Coalossal's entry hazards.

Coalossal provides utility through Stealth Rock, Rapid Spin, Will-O-Wisp, and Spikes, and has a unique defensive typing and good bulk which let it check various threats such as Sigilyph, Centiskorch, and Salazzle. The utility that Coalossal opts for is dependent on the rest of the team structure, with any of the aforementioned moves being great options. Coalossal is currently D rank on the VR, and as such should be portrayed more negatively here. In general it's shown as way too positive here despite being blacklisted (for now) and I think that this section should show that, so add in some negatives here I.e. its typing giving it trouble with mons like Barraskewda, Rhyperior, and Scrafty. Heat Crash can be used, but is very weak against spinblockers such as Dhelmise and Golurk, whereas Flare Blitz can make progress against them to allow for Rapid Spin at some point. Add before the point about Heat Crash being weak against spinblockers why you would use Heat Crash in the first place. It also pales in damage potential to Flare Blitz, especially when used against foes such as Steelix and Bronzong. Stone Edge can be used over Rock Blast, but the higher PP allows it to more reliably answer Pokemon like Sigilyph. The given EV spread allows Coalossal to outpace Bronzong and gives Coalossal an offensive presence so that it can actually handle Flame Orb Sigilyph and pressure spinblockers like Golurk.

Bug- and Grass-types like Golisopod and Vileplume appreciate Coalossal's ability to handle Fire-types like Salazzle and Flying-types such as Sigilyph for them, and provide various support in return. Like what? Be more specific here. Although Coalossal has a unique typing that allows it to check certain Pokemon that are very difficult to handle otherwise, it has a pretty bad defensive typing in the general scope of things, with weaknesses to Fighting-, Ground-, Water-, and Rock-types. Fluff. Water-types like Milotic and Vaporeon are useful for covering its weaknesses to Ground-, Rock-, and Fire-types, Psychic-types like Galarian Slowbro are great for handling Fighting-types, and other partners like Virizion and Heliolisk take advantage of the Water-types that Coalossal struggles against. All of these points should be separated. For example:

Water-types like Milotic and Vaporeon are useful for dealing with Pokemon such as Rhyperior, Golurk, and Barraskewda. Psychic-types such as Sigilyph and Galarian Slowbro can check Fighting-types that force Coalossal out. Heliolisk and Virizion can take advantage of Water-types that Coalossal struggles against - both also benefit from the entry hazard support provided.

Try to word these examples differently than I did if possible.

Although its weaknesses greatly limit it, [or some similar statement in the opening sentence about coal being a very niche pick] Coalossal provides utility through Stealth Rock, Rapid Spin, Will-O-Wisp, and Spikes, and has a its unique defensive typing and good bulk which let it check makes it one of the tier's best checks to various threats such as Sigilyph, Centiskorch, and Salazzle. [Let's make this intro as clear as we can about Coalossal's niche: generally outclassed as a Rocker / wall, but the tier's best option against a few threats (like the ones you mentioned)] The utility that Coalossal opts for is dependent on the team’s needs, with any of the aforementioned moves being great options. [Make this sentence more specific; something like "If Coalossal's teammates already have Stealth Rock or Rapid Spin, those moves can be dropped for either Will-o-Wisp (to pressure switch-ins like Rhyperior and Golurk) or Spikes". Also, move it after the description of the moves you list in the set]. Although Coalossal has a unique typing that allows it to check certain Pokemon that are very difficult to handle otherwise, it has a bad defensive typing in the general scope of things, with a plethora of weaknesses exacerbated by the prevalence of Pokemon such as Barraskewda, Scrafty, and Rhyperior. [merge with first sentence or put this immediately after it, don't have it here in middle of paragraph]. Heat Crash can be used because of Coalossal's high weight, but is very weak against spinblockers such as Dhelmise and Golurk, whereas Flare Blitz can make progress against them to allow for Rapid Spin at some point. It also pales in damage potential to Flare Blitz, especially when used against foes such as Steelix and Bronzong. [from your very negative description, it sounds like the analysis shouldn't mention Heat Crash.] Stone Edge can be used over Rock Blast, but the higher PP of Rock Blast allows it to more reliably answer Pokemon like Sigilyph (remove "Pokemon like" unless you can name something else it needs rock blast to beat), as Stone Edge can be PP stalled. The given EV spread allows Coalossal to outpace Bronzong and the Attack investment gives Coalossal more reliability against Flame Orb Sigilyph and the ability to pressure spinblockers like Golurk. [Is there some calc vs Sigi you can mention?]

Bug- and Grass-types like Golisopod and Vileplume appreciate Coalossal's ability to handle Fire-types like Salazzle and Flying-types such as Sigilyph for them and provide various support in return, notably Spikes from Golisopod and status from Vileplume in the forms of Sleep Powder, Sludge Bomb, and Effect Spore. Water-types like Milotic and Vaporeon are useful for covering Coalossal’s weaknesses to Ground-, Rock-, and Fire-types like Rhyperior, Golurk, and Barraskewda; Vaporeon's Wish support can make up for Coalossal's lack of recovery. Psychic-types like Galarian Slowbro are great for handling Fighting-types, and other partners like Virizion and Heliolisk take advantage of the Water-types that Coalossal struggles against and profit off damage racked up from Coalossal's entry hazards.
