========

Emboar is unique on Fighting teams in its ability to be a good Fairy neutral special attack sponge that is immune to getting burned. Compared to fellow Assault Vest users like Iron Hands and Gallade however, it lacks a useful secondary offensive typing that allows it to break through common resistances to Fighting. Due to this it is usually better to use the aforementioned Pokemon over Emboar to prevent one's Fighting team from struggling against common threats like Primarina, Azumarill, and Toxapex.

Emboar has a unique niche on Fighting teams as a Fairy neutral Assault Vest user that is immune to getting burned. With its part Fire typing, good defensive stats, and Reckless-boosted moves, Emboar is able to check a multitude of threats to Fighting teams from Bug, Ghost, and Fairy. Fire Blast powers through a would-be check in Skarmory and also hits Forretress without suffering from recoil damage or Rocky Helmet chip. Flare Blitz can be run instead for its perfect accuracy, higher PP, and Reckless boost, which can be useful for dealing with Corviknight and Gholdengo. Sucker Punch allows Emboar to pick off weakened Ghost- and Psychic-types that are faster than it like Choice-locked Spectrier and Latios. Fairy-types like Hatterene, Flutter Mane, and Alolan Ninetales are threatened by Emboar's Heavy Slam and ability to take their attacks easily. Emboar's final slot is very customizable due to the important threats each option covers, such as Head Smash easily eliminating Volcarona, Wild Charge threatening most of Flying and being especially threatening to defensive Gyarados, and Close Combat threatening Darkrai and Hydreigon and preventing Heatran and Hisuian Goodra from being checks. 40 Speed EVs with a Sassy nature allows Emboar to outspeed Pokemon like Blissey without sacrificing any bulk or power. Alternatively, a Careful nature with 44 Speed EVs can be used instead when using Flare Blitz over Fire Blast, enabling it to outspeed Skarmory.

Emboar benefits from Great Tusk's entry hazard management and ability to switch into physical attackers like Excadrill and Landorus-T. In return, Emboar switches into powerful Fairy-type moves that threaten Great Tusk. Scrafty and Emboar form a decent bulky core that makes it easy to maneuver around powerful Fairy- and Psychic-type attacks. Gallade also forms a great Assault Vest core with Emboar as it can take Psychic-type attacks, as well as other strong special hits from Water-types like Greninja and Walking Wake. Iron Valiant greatly benefits from Emboar consistently handling checks to it like Galarian Weezing and Corviknight, allowing it to also create holes in opposing teams with its various coverage moves and powerful STABs. Setup sweepers like Hisuian Lilligant and Urshifu-R also appreciate the weakening of Pokemon like Gholdengo and Amoonguss who otherwise prevent them from sweeping. Emboar also enjoys the removal of Ground-types like Gliscor and Hippowdon from Urshifu-R and Water-types like Alomamola and Swampert from Hisuian Lilligant. Sneasler also benefits from the elimination of bulky Pokemon like Tornadus-T and Zapdos that otherwise makes it difficult for it to sweep teams. Emboar in turn greatly appreciates Sneasler's ability to KO Pokemon like Indeedee and Roaring Moon that otherwise threaten it. Iron Hands also helps Emboar maneuver around Flying and Water teams with its powerful Electric STAB moves and incredible bulk, while Emboar absorbs any potential burns headed Iron Hands' way.

Emboar performs a unique niche on Fighting teams as an Assault Vest user that is immune to getting burned. With its part Fire typing, good defensive stats, and Reckless-boosted moves, Emboar is able to check a multitude of threats to Fighting teams from Bug, Ghost, Fairy, and Flying. Fire Blast is used to power through a would-be check in Skarmory and also hits Forretress without suffering from recoil damage or Rocky Helmet chip. Flare Blitz can be run instead for its perfect accuracy and higher PP, which can be useful for dealing with Corviknight and Gholdengo. Sucker Punch allows Emboar to pick off weakened Ghost- and Psychic-types that are faster than it like Choice-locked Spectrier and Latios. Fairy-types like Hatterene, Flutter Mane, and Alolan Ninetales are threatened by Emboar's Heavy Slam and ability to take their attacks easily. Emboar's final slot is very customizable due to the important threats each option covers, such as Head Smash easily eliminating Volcarona, Wild Charge threatening most of Flying and being especially threatening to defensive Gyarados, and Close Combat threatening Darkrai and Hydreigon and preventing Heatran and Hisuian Goodra from being checks. Assault Vest paired with a lot of investment in Special Defense and HP allows Emboar to be as tanky as possible on the special side. 40 EVs are put into Speed with a Sassy nature in order to let it still outspeed Pokemon like Blissey without sacrificing any bulk or power with any other nature. Alternatively, a Careful nature with 44 Speed EVs can be used instead when using Flare Blitz over Fire Blast, as Emboar will no longer be utilizing its Special Attack stat and enabling it to outspeed Skarmory.

Emboar benefits from Great Tusk's hazard management and ability to switch into physical attackers like Excadrill and Landorus-T. In return, Emboar switches into powerful Fairy-type moves that threaten Great Tusk. When paired with Gallade or Scrafty, Emboar can form a decent bulky core with them that makes it easy to maneuver around powerful Fairy- and Psychic-type attacks. (I would make this sentence all about Scrafty and then do a sentance about Gallade as an AV Core.) Emboar in particular switches into Pokemon like Galarian Weezing and Sableye safely, whose burns often pose a threat to most Pokemon on Fighting teams. (First paragraph info) Iron Valiant can take advantage of the openings this core creates, especially when they successfully neutralize the aforementioned threats. (Expand on this please) Setup sweepers like Hisuian Lilligant and Urshifu-R also appreciate the weakening of Pokemon like Corviknight, Gholdengo and Amoonguss (Corv only really runs Brave Bird on SpD Bulk up sets, which cannot come in on them at +1 anyway) who otherwise prevent them from sweeping. (Would also be good to mention how Emboar appreciates them removing Ground-type threats and how Lilli-H deals with Water ones) Revenge killers like Sneasler also appreciate having a bulky core to fall back on when they finish their job and are forced to switch out. (Expand on this please) Add Iron Hands as a teammate for dealing with Water- and Flying-types please.
Ping when implemented so I can have a second look.
 
Looks clean.
Just change Iron Valiant to mention its wide movepool instead of just STABs and Encore (as Encore Valiant isn't used much) Other than that, 1/2
