Set Details
====

U-turn gains momentum against switch-ins like Drapion and Braviary, and it especially hurts Guzzlord. Shadow Sneak's priority helps pick off faster, weakened foes like Starmie and Ninjask. Spirit Shackle could be opted for instead of Poltergeist on teams with Knock Off support, although this set prefers Poltergeist to 2HKO Sylveon and OHKO physically defensive Bronzong after Stealth Rock. Spell Tag lets Decidueye switch attacks, which makes walls with Protect like Vaporeon less effective at scouting it. Long Reach avoids Talonflame's Flame Body, and a Jolly nature ensures Decidueye can revenge kill slower wallbreakers like Sirfetch'd and Exploud.

Offensive pivots such as Dragalge and Heliolisk often bring in Decidueye on special walls like Bronzong and Copperajah. They also target Decidueye's checks like Talonflame and Braviary. Physical walls like Mudsdale and Quagsire work as defensive pivots when Drapion and Guzzlord attempt to revenge kill or switch into a Choice-locked Decidueye. In return, Decidueye punishes Psychic-types like Celebi and Xatu. Vaporeon, Mantine, and Goodra are good checks to Fire-types like Talonflame and Arcanine, especially when Poltergeist Decidueye cannot always rely on Knock Off + Stealth Rock support to help deal with these two.

U-turn gains momentum against switch-ins like Drapion and Braviary, and it especially hurts Guzzlord too. Shadow Sneak's priority helps pick off faster, weakened foes like Starmie and Ninjask. Spirit Shackle could be opted for instead of Poltergeist on teams with Knock Off support, although this set preferrers prefers Poltergeist as Decidueye needs the extra power for wallbreaking. For example, with Choice Band, Poltergeist 2HKOes Sylveon and OHKOes physically defensive Bronzong after Stealth Rock. Otherwise, Spell Tag has the niche of switching up attacks; Protect walls like Vaporeon are less effective at scouting Decidueye as a result. Long Reach avoids Talonflame's Flame Body, and a Jolly nature ensures Decidueye may revenge kill slower wallbreakers like Sirfetch'd and Exploud.

Offensive pivots such as Rotom-C,(Decidueye + Rotom-C feels very wrong to me, but I honestly don't have a good idea what I'd replace the Rotom mention with, so.) Dragalge, and Heliolisk often bring in Decidueye on special walls like Bronzong and Copperajah. They also target Decidueye's checks like Talonflame and Braviary. Physical walls like Mudsdale and Quagsire work as defensive pivots when Drapion and Guzzlord attempt to revenge kill or switch into a Choice-locked Decidueye. In return, Decidueye works to deter and punish Grass-types like Rotom-C and Celebi. Vaporeon, Mantine, and Goodra are good checks to Fire-types like Talonflame and Arcanine, especially when Poltergeist Decidueye cannot always rely on Knock Off + Stealth Rock support to help deal with these two.

QC 1/? when done.
 
Much like Rabia, I do not have too much to add -- this looks great.

I do feel like the sentence about dissuading other Grass types is not great because they both wear it out quickly and Rotom-C does not get OHKOd + can Wisp it, so maybe reword or remove the " In return, Decidueye works to deter and punish Grass-types like Rotom-C and Celebi." -- this does not even apply to other Grasses like Decid itself, Dhelmise, or Vileplume either, so I feel like this is a weaker point.

Rest is solid, 2/2
