Modest Nature
- Leaf Storm / Giga Drain
- Rapid Spin
- Aromatherapy
- Sleep Powder

With the dominance of Jellicent as the tier’s best spinblocker, offensive Eldegoss is a solid spinner with good defensive utility as well. Leaf Storm provides immediate damage, while Giga Drain has more PP and provides additional recovery. Aromatherapy lets Eldegoss absorb status and heal teammates like Togedemaru. Sleep Powder cripples standard switch-ins like Charizard and Centiskorch while also giving free turns to offensive partners. Eldegoss is quite frail on the physical side so physical walls like Regirock and Sandaconda make for solid partners. They also provide entry hazards support; in return, Eldegoss can switch into Ground- and Water-types for them. Hattrem and Eldegoss make a consistent, albeit passive, core that keeps entry hazards off versus a majority of teams in the tier. Offensive partners such as Magmortar and Archeops enjoy having Stealth Rock off the field so they are less impacted by losing their Heavy-Duty Boots; Archeops can also switch into Charizard, which Eldegoss appreciates.

With the dominance of Jellicent, offensive Eldegoss is a solid spinner with good defensive utility as well, threatening out the tier's most prominent spinblocker. (imo, reword this sentence in such a way that it specifically states that jelli is the most common spinblocker. it might just be me, but i wasn't sure what mon the last part of the sentence was referring to at first.) Leaf Storm provides immediate damage at the cost of PP issues, while Giga Drain is weaker but provides a secondary form of recovery. Aromatherapy lets Eldegoss absorb status and heal annoying status off teammates like Togedemaru. Sleep Powder cripples standard switch-ins like Charizard and Centiskorch. Eldegoss is quite frail on the physical side without much investment, so physical walls like Regirock make solid partners that can provide entry hazards support. (you should probably tuck the bit about entry hazards either in its own sentence or directly after you mention regirock as an example, reads a little clunky rn.) In return, Eldegoss can switch into Water-types for it. Hattrem helps Eldegoss make a consistent, albeit passive, core that keeps entry hazards off versus a majority of teams in the tier. Offensive partners such as Magmortar and Archeops enjoy having Stealth Rock off their field so they don't have to worry as much if their Heavy-Duty Boots are removed; Archeops can also switch into Charizard, which Eldegoss appreciates. (either somewhere here or when you mention sleep powder, maybe mention that the move can give offensive mons an easier time switching in.)
my comments were mostly nitpicks, but mainly only because the content here is good. qc 1/1 :)
