[OVERVIEW]

With its superb typing and access to Quiver Dance, Oricorio-G is a scary sweeper that aims to get boosts in the mid to late-game to clean up the enemy team. Its Ghost / Flying typing gives it a myriad of resistances, allowing it to check and set up on common Pokemon like Virizion and Toxicroak. Flying / Ghost STAB attacks are nearly unresisted, hitting everything save Naclstack and Morpeko for at least neutral damage while hitting many common Pokemon like Bruxish and Virizion super effectively. Offensive sets allow Oricorio-G to be a terrifying sweeper that can easily clean up mid- to late-game, while its defensive set uses its great typing to set up multiple times and slowly take apart bulkier teams. However, Oricorio-G has trouble setting up due to its deceptive frailty when uninvested and can struggle to threaten much without numerous boosts when invested into bulk. It's also quite reliant on Terastallization to bypass its answers like Sneasel and Snorlax.

[SET]
Oricorio-G @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Dancer
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Tera Type: Fighting / Ground
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Hurricane
- Revelation Dance
- Roost

Oricorio-G aims to be as offensively threatening as possible, with its STAB moves of Revelation Dance and Hurricane being near-unresisted, hitting most of the tier for at least neutral damage. Revelation Dance acts like a pseudo-Tera Blast that changes type when Terastallized, letting Oricorio-G tailor its coverage to beat certain types of Pokemon. Tera Fighting allows Oricorio-G to better threaten Normal-types like Dudunsparce, Dark-types like Sneasel, Steel-types like Orthworm, and Rock-types like Rhydon. Tera Ground hits Electric-types like Jolteon as well as the Poison- and Rock-types while giving it resistances to these types.

Offensive Oricorio-G best fits on offensive teams alongside other setup sweepers like Virizion, Sneasel and Mesprit. They mutually benefit from each other softening up opposing walls like Articuno and Hisuian Qwilfish to enable a final sweep. Fighting-types like Toxicroak and Hisuian Sneasel threaten the Normal- and Dark-types that Oricorio-G struggles breaking past, easing its need to Terastallize. Defensive answers to Normal-types like Regirock and Palosand are appreciated as well. Oricorio-G also appreciates special wallbreakers like Clawitzer and Alolan Exeggutor that weaken the opposing team's special walls such as Snorlax. Entry hazard setters like Rhydon and Qwilfish help wear down foes to allow an easier sweep for Oricorio-G.

[OVERVIEW]
With its superb typing and access to Quiver Dance, Oricorio-Sensu is a scary sweeper that aims to get boosts in the mid to late-game to clean up the enemy team. Its Ghost / Flying typing gives it resistances to Poison and Grass as well as immunities to Ground, Fighting and Normal this is dex info; emphasize why typing is good both offensively/defensively and give examples. Its Dancer ability also allows it to switch into other Quiver Dance users like Oricorio-Baile and Venomoth and copy their own Quiver Dance Both of these mons are quite fringe and I would replace this sentence with the offensive set's strengths, and start a new sentence with the defensive set's strengths. However, Oricorio-Sensu can have trouble setting up due to its deceptive fraility when uninvested, and can struggle to threathen much without numerous boosts when invested into bulk. It also depends a lot on Terastalization to bypass some of its answers, like Qwilfish-H and Sneasel

This version of Oricorio-Sensu aims to be as offensively threatening as possible. Its STAB moves of Revelation Dance and Hurricane is unresisted, hitting the entire tier for at least neutral damage. Revelation Dance has a unique interaction with Terastalzation, as it will change types according to the Pokemons Tera I get what you're trying to say but reword this to why Terastalization benefits Revelation Dance while not going into detail of the specific type matchups. Tera Fighting allows Oricorio-Sensu to better threathen Normal-types like Dudunsparce and Snorlax, Dark
-types like Sneasel, Steel-types like Orthworm and Magneton and Rock-types like Rhydon and Regirock. Tera Ground hits Electric-types like Jolteon, Fire-types like Magmortar and Poison-types like Muk delete, less important matchups, as well as the aforementioned Steel and Rock-types.

Offensive Oricorio-Sensu best fits on offensive teams alongside other setup sweepers like Virizion, Sneasel forms and Mesprit. They mutually benefit from each other softening up the opponents teams special walls like Articuno and Qwilfish-H to enable a final sweep be more specific when writing; greatly helps the reader understand why these teammates are important. Fighting Types like Toxicroak and Sneasel-Hisui threathen the Normal- and Dark-types that Oricorio-Sensu can struggle breaking past, easing its need to Terastalize. In return, Oricorio-Sensu threathens the Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon that the Fighting-types struggle with I'm not too sure about keeping this; +1 Oricorio can threaten a lot of its super effective checks but unboosted it falters nearly everything faster. Oricorio-Sensu also appreciates special wallbreakers like Clawitzer and Alolan Exeggutor that weaken the opposing teams special walls. Hazard setters like Primape Rhydon better mention and Qwilfish help wear down the opponents Pokemon to allow an easier sweep for Oricorio-Sensu.

(use lax here instead of dudun because lax actually answers it whereas dudun can cripple and/or phaze, but not answer)

This version of Oricorio-Sensu aims to be as offensively threatening as possible. Its STAB moves of Revelation Dance and Hurricane is unresisted (you contradict yourself a bit because you mention it being resisted by peko and nacl in the overview, just say it's rarely resisted or something to that effect), hitting most of the tier for at least neutral damage (combine these first two sentences together, can bridge the gap by saying "..threatening as possible by using its STAB moves of x and y to hit majority of the tier for at least neutral damage). Revelation Dance acts like a Pseudo Tera Blast that changes type when Terastalized, letting Oricorio-Sensu tailor its coverage to beat certain types of Pokemon. Tera Fighting allows Oricorio-Sensu to better threathen Normal-types like Dudunsparce and Snorlax, Dark-types like Sneasel, Steel-types like Orthworm and Magneton and Rock-types like Rhydon and Regirock (just use one mon per type to help not make this sentence drag as much, using one example helps give the point). Tera Ground hits Electric-types like Jolteon, as well as the afformentioned Steel and Rock-types. (it doesnt hit orthworm so might want to reword this, also mentions it helps hit poisons like muk)

Other special sweepers like Mespirit and Frosmoth can also help weaken opposing walls and benefit from teams weakened from each others attempt to sweep (this is a bit of fluff because you already mention other sweepers and mesprit in the first sentence).
