[SET COMMENTS]
Eldegoss is held back by its relatively weak base HP, bad defensive typing, and overall passivity. Its lack of pressure is easily taken advantage of by Pokemon like Dragapult, Hatterene, and Ferrothorn, as they freely switch in without much worry.
Nonetheless, Eldegoss finds its niche in the tier through its ability Regenerator and unique support movepool that features Rapid Spin, Sleep Powder, and Aromatherapy. Giga Drain provides Eldegoss with offensive capability and a form of recovery. Leech Seed saps health from foes for additional passive recovery, but Synthesis may be used instead for a burst of healing; be wary however of weathers that halve the move's effectiveness. Sleep Powder stalls foes to force switches and help Eldegoss recover health, while Aromatherapy lets it function as a cleric to support its teammates. Fully investing on physical bulk patches up its average Defense, allowing it to check certain Pokemon like Conkeldurr and Tyranitar.

Eldegoss's utility is appreciated by a multitude of Pokemon. In particular, Gyarados and Galarian Darmanitan enjoy the entry hazard removal provided by Eldegoss. Sweepers and wallbreakers such as Hawlucha and Dracovish also worry less about status conditions with Eldegoss's cleric capabilities. It also forms solid defensive cores with bulky Water-types such as Seismitoad and Toxapex; the latter in particular also creates a Regenerator core. Ditto can revenge kill setup Pokemon that try to take advantage of Eldegoss's passivity, while Mandibuzz and Corviknight keep in check Pokemon that exploit Eldegoss's weak offensive pressure such as Dragapult and Hatterene.

Eldegoss finds its niche in the tier through its Regenerator and unique support movepool that features Rapid Spin, Sleep Powder, and Aromatherapy. However, it is held back by its relatively weak base HP, bad defensive typing, and overall passivity. The fact that it lets in Pokemon such as Dragapult, Hatterene, and Ferrothorn in for free should specifically be mentioned here. Nevertheless, its access to reliable recovery paired with Leftovers helps it run a defensive set, checking famous Water-types bar Gyarados. Eldegoss is not viable, there's no need to mention anything else. It's an outright terrible check to Gyarados also. Fully investing on physical bulk patches up its average Defense, while still maintaining its naturally good special bulk. One or two examples of Pokemon that Eldegoss is able to check with maximum Defense investment would be useful. Mentioning that Eldegoss retains its special bulk is redundant. Giga Drain lessens Eldegoss's passivity and provides a form of recovery. Leech Seed saps health from foes, providing passive recovery, but Synthesis may be used instead for instantaneity, though be wary of weathers that suppress healing. Instantaneity? Is that even a word? GMars has informed me that it is actually a word. While I'm not GP, I'd like to request that you change it to something a little more obvious. Sleep Powder stalls foes to force switches or freely recover health. Aromatherapy lets Eldegoss function as a cleric to support teammates, as well as to get rid of its own status timer.

Eldegoss's support is appreciated by a multitude of Pokemon. In particular, Gyarados and Galarian Darmanitan among many others enjoy its entry hazard removal. Sweepers and wallbreakers such as Hawlucha and Dracovish also worry less about status conditions with Eldegoss's cleric capabilities. Also, Eldegoss forms solid defensive cores with bulky Water-types such as Seismitoad and Toxapex; the latter in particular also creates a Regenerator core. Ditto revenge kills setup Pokemon that try to take advantage of Eldegoss's passivity. You should mention Pokemon like Mandibuzz and Corviknight as well because they're important in order to keep Pokemon that can take advantage of Eldegoss in check.

Good job, 1/2.
 
Rearrange the start of this analysis (swapping the part about its negatives first) as to highlight why it's bad then QC 2/2

(I think these two clauses read better if they're more conjoined than they were with the semicolon)

If it were up to me this analysis would've involved dandruff shampoo in some way but GP 1/1 anyway, good stuff
