Choice Specs Decidueye is one of NU's best wallbreakers because its typing offers great STAB coverage and few Pokemon are bulky enough to stomach a Leaf Storm, and the ones that can don't appreciate a Shadow Ball. Additionally, its solid bulk and typing give it ample opportunities to switch into foes such as the numerous Water- and Ground-types that populate the tier. Giga Drain gives Decidueye a more reliable Grass-type STAB move than Leaf Storm and can also provide recovery, but Hurricane can blast through Pokemon like Eldegoss and is its only real option for hitting Sap Sipper Miltank. Decidueye excels at switching into Pokemon such as Lanturn, Galarian Stunfisk, and Sandaconda and blowing holes in the opposing team with Leaf Storm, opening up the way for Pokemon like Togedemaru and Rotom-S to shine. In addition, it can also wear down Poison-types for partners such as Sawk and Toxicroak, which in turn can handle the offensive Dark-types that threaten Decidueye.

Unslash Roost, Giga Drain provides all the recovery you'd need.

Its STAB combination is resisted by two Pokemon in the tier

I'd rather you put it a bit more vague like "resisted by few" because technically Bouffalant now exists and can run Sap Sipper to function like a budget Miltank, although the jury is still out on how viable Bouffalant actually is.

Because of these, Decidueye is popular on bulky offense teams as it can switch in and either fire off a powerful attack or pivot out with U-turn.

This sentence doesn't really say much; Decidueye is common on such teams (and others) because it's really good at wallbreaking and has utility beyond that. I'd just remove it.

Its power and typing makes it extremely hard to switch into, as there are few Pokemon that resist its STAB combination or are bulky enough to stomach a Leaf Storm, some of the few being Miltank, SIlvally-Poison, and specially defensive Clefairy.

I feel like you basically said this in the first sentence. You could tack onto that sentence that Pokemon capable of switching into one of Decidueye's STAB moves get blown back by the other.

There should also be a sentence on Giga Drain versus Hurricane and what the two moves offer Decidueye.

Let me know when you implement this.

Choice Specs Decidueye has cemented itself as one of the best wallbreakers in NU. Its solid bulk and typing give it ample opportunities to switch in, and its power and typing makes it extremely hard to switch into, as there are few Pokemon that resist its STAB combination or are bulky enough to stomach a Leaf Storm, some of the few being Miltank, SIlvally-Poison, and specially defensive Clefairy. Even then, most of the Pokemon that can tank one of Decidueye's STAB moves gets crushed by another.

This is very long and can be reduced to flow better and be less verbose. "Choice Specs Decidueye is one of NU's best wallbreakers because its typing offers great STAB coverage and few Pokemon are bulky enough to stomach a Leaf Storm. Additionally, its solid bulk and typing give it ample opportunities to switch into foes such as x, y, and z." is a bit less awkward and wordy.

this is fine otherwise
