If someone can proofread, I would appreciate that, though I think this may be ready to go
I forgot about the choice band set, so I will mention that first

 

[Burigu]

It learns Spikes, Diggersby can force some switches so it's a good option

I just don't see a very good set with him and spikes, but i might mention it in OO

 

[Burigu]

Well I am not sure of the viability of Spikes either simply pointing out it learns the move and someone might find it useful I am fine with putting it in OO unless it has a unique niche I am not aware of or spikes it's simply worthless to even mention but I find that hard to believe

 

[Cyris Talkhelm]

I mentioned it in OO, but I still mentioned that it mostly won't work out for the best

The band and huge power sweeper sets seem too similar to be in two sets. Try something like this
Diggersby@Life orb/Choice Band
Earthquake
Quick Attack/ Return
Stone Edge/Rock Slide
Swords Dance/U-Turn
Also you should mention at least something about screens in team options since it is a frail set up sweeper

As much as I should just slash it, I feel as though the two sets are vastly different as in, Its too many pointless slashes, and the band set is not the life orb set. so for all intents of organization it is easier to read, and understand if the sets are seperated
As for the Screens i will mention them in both sets

Well I am by no means an expert but Choice banded and life orbed Pokemon play different Choice band is for wallbreaking putting holes in the other team with a hit and run style, while sword dance is for sweeping without switching out that often because the checks or counters are more likely weak or dead, I am aware that you can sweep with a choice band but it all depends on the skill level and team match up.

This analysis has so much wrong with it that I genuinely believe it will take a serious amount of work and effort to get this up to snuff, to the extent that someone is better off redoing this from scratch. I appreciate the effort, don't get me wrong, but it's evident that you don't know what you're talking about nor have a firm understanding of competitive battling.

The usage tips, team options, and the shockingly barren counters section are so bad that I'm physically incapable of providing you with input, since I will essentially be redoing the analysis myself. Thankfully, this is not my job. It's also clear that you don't have a good understanding of basic English writing skills by the sheer number of grammatical errors, so your analysis will be a nightmare to proofread.

Having said that, consider this QC REJECT 1/3.

 

[Cyris Talkhelm]

As sad as it is, i can take this as a total rejection, and now i know what to improve on Thank you, i'll be trying to improve writing these up later
