[SET COMMENTS]
* Hisuian Goodra is one of the most solid Pokemon in SV 1v1 thanks to its unique typing of Steel and Dragon, allowing to beat Pokemon such as non-Assault Vest Regidrago and Raging Bolt without fearing much back from them, while also dealing with Fairy-type Pokemon such as Primarina.
* Draco Meteor hits Dragon-type Pokemon like non-Assault Vest Regidrago and Kyurem, on top of targets like Raging Bolt and Volcanion after an Acid Spray.
* Acid Spray is one of the key points of this set, as its 100% chance of dropping opponents Special Defense helps Hisuian Goodra in boosting its attacks against Pokemon like Haban Berry Regidrago, and Primarina, as long as the first one doesn't carry Dragon Energy.
* Sludge Wave allows it to deal with Primarina more easily.
* Flash Cannon can deal with other Fairy-type Pokemon such as Diancie and Alolan Ninetales.
* Endure allows Hisuian Goodra to live any hit that would've OHKOed it, then activate Custap Berry on the next turn, and fire back with its powerful Draco Meteor.
* Sap Sipper is a useful tool for Hisuian Goodra as it allows it to easily deal with Whimsicott and Serperior.
* Its EV spread allows it to live two Moonblasts from Choice Specs Primarina and a Dragon Energy from Choice Specs Regidrago while maximizing HP, with the remaining EVs going into Special Attack.
* Hisuian Goodra can struggle against Fighting- and Ground-types like both Urshifu formes, Great Tusk, and Ursaluna, so Pokemon that can deal with these, like Primarina, Serperior, and Manaphy make for great partners.

One does not simply beat Regidrago (unless they are a Fairy-type). Jokes aside, Assault Vest Regidrago wins by going Dragon Energy into Draco Meteor, and your Draco Meteor into Draco Meteor doesn't 2HKO back even if you're able to activate your Custap Berry here.

Similar Regidrago issues. Custap Berry Skeledirge also isn't the most reliable, as Skeledirge is faster than Hisuian Goodra. Looks fine otherwise.

Sylveon is not reliable. Fine outside of that I think.

48 SpA Goodra-Hisui Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Meowscarada: 211-250 (72 - 85.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

I think we might need to take another look at this set as a whole, cause if we're not killing Meowscarada back, this might just be really badly EV'd for a matchup that it isn't winning.

I'll take a second look after you've implemented this, but there's probs gonna have to be a lot of discussion in the QC channel here, as this set isn't really beating Meowscarada.

it chooses to beat either diancie or prim really maybe just mention prim since such as already implies more which diancie could fall under and prim is the most viable

* Draco Meteor hits Dragon-type Pokemon like non-Assault Vest Regidrago, Raging Bolt, and Kyurem, on top of neutral targets like Volcanion after an Acid Spray.

it needs to acid spray to beat raging bolt, this kinda makes it sound like u raw draco it. u can prolly add after acid spray point.
196 SpA Goodra-Hisui Draco Meteor vs. +1 96 HP / 44 SpD Raging Bolt: 254-300 (61.2 - 72.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
-2 196 SpA Goodra-Hisui Draco Meteor vs. +2 96 HP / 44 SpD Raging Bolt: 96-114 (23.1 - 27.4%) -- 48% chance to 4HKO
+2 232+ SpA Protosynthesis Raging Bolt Draco Meteor vs. 244 HP / 60+ SpD Goodra-Hisui: 381-448 (105.2 - 123.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

* Sludge Wave allows it to deal with Fairy-types that either run items that resist Hisuian Goodra's hits, like Whimsicott, or have a secondary type that does so, like Primarina.

remove whimsicott as an example, you would always win by virtue of sap sipper anyway

* Flash Cannon can deal with Fairy-type Pokemon such as Diancie and Alolan Ninetales, while also dealing with other Pokemon such as Hisuian Avalugg after an Acid Spray.

draco beats luggh too so either remove luggh or mention fcannon is more reliable than draco cause it can't miss, maybe: "while also being an accurate STAB move, useful for pokemon like Hisuian Avalugg, which you beat after an acid spray" idk pretty yappy u probably get the idea tho

* Acid Spray is one of the key points of this set, as its 100% chance of dropping opponents Special Defense helps Hisuian Goodra in boosting its attacks against Pokemon like Haban Berry Regidrago, and Primarina, as long as the first one doesn't carry Dragon Energy.
* Endure allows Hisuian Goodra to live any hit from strong Pokemon like Close Combat from Sneasler and using custap, fire back with its powerful Draco Meteor.
pretty bad example sorry maybe talk about it in broader terms "allows Hisuian Goodra to live attacks that would have KOed it and using custap, fire back..."
* Its EV spread allows it to live two Moonblasts from Choice Specs Primarina and a Dragon Energy from Choice Specs Regidrago while maximising HP, with the remaining EVs going into Special Attack.
* Hisuian Goodra can struggle against Fighting- and Ground-types like both Urshifu formes, Great Tusk, and Ursaluna, so Pokemon that can deal with these, like Primarina, Serperior, and Manaphy make for great partners.

add a point on sap sipper

* Hisuian Goodra is one of the most solid Pokemon in SV 1v1 thanks to its unique typing of Steel and / Dragon typing, allowing to beat Pokemon such as non-Assault Vest Regidrago and Raging Bolt without fearing much back from them (RC) while also dealing with Fairy-type Pokemon such as Primarina.
* Draco Meteor hits Dragon-type Pokemon like non-Assault Vest Regidrago and Kyurem (RC) on top of as well as targets like Raging Bolt and Volcanion after an Acid Spray. (not sure if 'hits' is the best word here if you're talking about being able to KO them / win the game, it still hits av drago super effectively for example but the distinction is just made bc goodra no longer beats it so something like 'beats' or 'KOes' make that point a bit more accurate)
* Sludge Wave allows it to deal with Primarina more easily.
* Flash Cannon can deal with other Fairy-type Pokemon such as Diancie and Alolan Ninetales.
* Acid Spray is one of the key points of this set, as its 100% chance of dropping opponents foes' Special Defense helps Hisuian Goodra in boosting its attacks against break through Pokemon like Haban Berry Regidrago, and Primarina, as long as the first one former doesn't carry Dragon Energy. (if acid spray is the key point of the set, why is it move 3?)
* Endure allows Hisuian Goodra to live survive any hit that would've OHKOed would otherwise OHKO it, then activate Custap Berry on the next turn, and fire back with its powerful Draco Meteor.
* Sap Sipper is a useful tool for Hisuian Goodra, (AC) allowing as it allows it to easily deal with Whimsicott and Serperior.
* Its EV spread allows it to live survive two Moonblasts from Choice Specs Primarina and a Dragon Energy from Choice Specs Regidrago while maximizing HP,. (AP) The with the remaining EVs going are placed into Special Attack.
* Hisuian Goodra can struggle against Fighting- and Ground-types like both Urshifu formes, Great Tusk, and Ursaluna, so Pokemon that can deal with these (RC) like Primarina, Serperior, and Manaphy make for great partners.
