[SET COMMENTS]
With Weakness Policy, Endure, and a Weak Armor activation, Armarouge can become a fast and hard-hitting lategame sweeper; Outspeeding and removing threats like Kleavor, Choice Band Meowscarada, and the Landorus formes. At +2, Focus Blast allows Armarouge to OHKO Heatran, Darkrai, and Ursaluna while also 2HKOing threats switching into Armarouge such as, Hisuian Goodra and Blissey. Aura Sphere can be used over Focus Blast for its accuracy; however, it trades off Focus Blast's higher power, making it miss out on OHKOing specially defensive Heatran after a Weakness Policy activation. Stored Power can be used over Expanding Force for higher breaking power after a Weakness Policy + Weak Armor activation, but at the cost of being strong without the previously mentioned boosts. Flamethrower allows Armarouge to melt Steel-types like Corviknight and Gholdengo, while Armor Cannon has higher breaking power capable of OHKOing Gliscor and non-Assault Vest Tornadus-T after a Weakness Policy boost.

Indeedee-M is a crucial teammate due to its ability to set Psychic Terrain and its Normal typing letting it switch into Ghost-type attacks. Setting Psychic Terrain allows Armarouge to use a greatly strengthened Expanding Force that can KO Swampert and Assault Vest Gallade after Stealth Rock chip and Weakness Policy activating. It also lets Armarouge be protected from powerful priority attacks like Bisharp's Sucker Punch and Azumarill's Aqua Jet. Deoxys-S is another great partner with Armarouge due to its access to Spikes and Stealth Rock allowing Armarouge to break through bulkier Pokemon like the Ogerpon formes and Ting-Lu and breaking Sturdy/Focus Sash from Ogerpon-C, Forretress and Great Tusk. Deoxys-S can also set screens for Armarouge, allowing it to live a hit from Pokemon like Greninja, Lokix, and Excadrill and OHKO them back with Weakness Policy boosted moves without the need for Endure. Hoopa-U and Gallade are great offensive partners for Armarouge due to the former handling Ghost-types like Spectrier and non-Choice Specs Flutter Mane while the latter deals with Dark-types like Alolan Muk and Ting-Lu. Hatterene is a good partner due to its imperative access to Magic Bounce, granting Armarouge some relief from hazards and if holding a Kasib Berry, it can also slow fast Ghost-types like Dragapult and Hisuian-Zoroark. Iron Boulder and Latios both appreciate Armarouge's ability to eliminate annoying Steel-types like Corviknight and Scizor, in return the former checks fast threats like Choice Scarf Meowscarada, Greninja, and Roaring Moon while the latter uses its ground immunity and BoltBeam coverage to eliminate threats like Empoleon and Gliscor. Slowbro is also a good defensive partner for Armarouge as it is a good water resist that can take hits from Barraskewda and Gyarados and can deal with Ceruledge if it chooses to be itemless.

With Weakness Policy, Endure, and a Weak Armor activation, Armarouge can become a dangerous lategame cleaner for Psychic teams. (this really not telling me nothing, why do WP ENDURE AND WA together make Arm a dangerous mon for psychic teams? this also just helps flow with the paragraph.) At +2, Focus Blast allows Armarouge to OHKO Dark-types like Roaring Moon, Darkrai, and Tyranitar while also 2HKOing Hisuian Goodra.(Roaring Moon best set is still Choice Scarf so even after a weak armor, we are still slower than it and getting doink. ttar swaping in on us or basically taking the trade which just kos our armarouge via sand chip. Same with hoodra, we are basically getting phazed out via d tail, i would prob mention like 2hkoing threats switching into armarouge like Hoodra and Blissey. I would remove dark and just generalize the threats like. Heatran, Ursaluna, and Darkrai.) Aura Sphere can be used over Focus Blast for its accuracy; however, it trades off Focus Blast's higher power, making it miss out on OHKOing specially defensive Heatran after a Weakness Policy activation. Expanding Force can be used while paired with Psychic Terrain for a powerful STAB move that allows Armarouge to eliminate bulky Pokemon like Assault Vest Gallade and Swampert after a Weakness Policy activation and Stealth Rock chip. (we can mention this when talking about Indeedee in team options) Stored Power can be used over Expanding Force for higher breaking power after a Weakness Policy + Weak Armor activation, but at the cost of being strong without the previously mentioned boosts. Flamethrower allows Armarouge to melt Steel-types like Corviknight and Gholdengo, while Armor Cannon has higher breaking power capable of OHKOing Gliscor and non-Assault Vest Tornadus-T after a Weakness Policy boost. Weak Armor boosts allow Armarouge to outspeed faster threats like Dragapult and Flutter Mane while also outspeeding Choice Scarf users like Kleavor Hisuian Samurott and Landorus. (refer to my first comment)

Indeedee-M is a crucial teammate due to its ability to set Psychic Terrain and its Normal typing letting it switch into Ghost-type attacks. Setting Psychic Terrain allows Armarouge to use a greatly strengthened Expanding Force (mention the threats we take out now here.) and also be protected from powerful priority attacks like Bisharp's Sucker Punch and Azumarill's Aqua Jet. Deoxys-S is another great partner with Armarouge due to its access to Spikes and Stealth Rock allowing Armarouge to break through bulkier Pokemon and breaking Sturdy/Focus Sash. (which mons are we breaking + what mons are using sturdy + focus sash). It can also use screens to allow Armarouge to get multiple Weak Armor boosts.(i would provide some types where we getting multiple boosts off due to screens.) Hoopa-U and Gallade are great offensive partners for Armarouge due to the former handling Ghost-types like Spectrier and non-Choice Specs Flutter Mane while the latter deals with Dark-types like Alolan Muk and Ting-Lu. Hatterene is a good partner due to its imperative access to Magic Bounce, granting Armarouge some relief from hazards.(mention it slowing down fast mons for armarouge via nuzzle) Latios and Iron Boulder both appreciate Armarouge's ability to eliminate annoying Steel-types like Corviknight and Scizor, in return the former checks fast threats like Choice Scarf Meowscarada, Greninja, and Roaring Moon while the latter switches into Water-type attacks and uses its BoltBeam coverage to eliminate any potential responses.(swap boulder and latios around so the sentence actually matches. i would remove it switching into water attacks unless we specify which mons using water attacks that we are switching it. If not, just talk about it being a ground immunity + boltbeam to threaten x,y,z)

Weak Armor boosts allow Armarouge to outspeed faster threats like Dragapult and Flutter Mane while also outspeeding Choice Scarf users like Kleavor and Landorus. (we will just summarize this in the intro sentence.)

Deoxys-S is another great partner with Armarouge due to its access to Spikes and Stealth Rock allowing Armarouge to break through bulkier Pokemon like the Ogerpon formes and Ting-Lu Corviknight(Arm already just beats the bird without the hazard chip) and breaking Sturdy/Focus Sash from Ogerpon-C, Forretress and Great Tusk Ceruledge.(what happen to the screens sentence? still solid option and now can live a hit from like Greninja, Lokix, and Excadrill and OHKO them back. This also just allows for Armarouge to not rely on endure early on.)Hoopa-U and Gallade are great offensive partners for Armarouge due to the former handling Ghost-types like Spectrier and non-Choice Specs Flutter Mane while the latter deals with Dark-types like Alolan Muk and Ting-Lu.

- add slowbro nice water resist + dealing with Ceruledge if Slowbro is itemless.

With Weakness Policy, Endure, and a Weak Armor activation, Armarouge can become a fast and hard-hitting lategame sweeper; Outspeeding and removing threats like Kleavor, Choice Band Meowscarada, and the Landorus formes (mention the fastest relevant scarf user that +2 modest outspeeds would be nice meow). At +2, Focus Blast allows Armarouge to OHKO Heatran, Darkrai, and Ursaluna while also 2HKOing threats switching into Armarouge such as, Hisuian Goodra and Blissey. Aura Sphere can be used over Focus Blast for its accuracy; however, it trades off Focus Blast's higher power, making it miss out on OHKOing specially defensive Heatran after a Weakness Policy activation. Stored Power can be used over Expanding Force for higher breaking power after a Weakness Policy + Weak Armor activation, but at the cost of being strong weaker without the previously mentioned boosts (Eforce also makes it so that its not dependent on the WP to be scary too). Flamethrower allows Armarouge to melt Steel-types like Corviknight and Gholdengo, while Armor Cannon has higher breaking power capable of OHKOing Gliscor and non-Assault Vest Tornadus-T after a Weakness Policy boost.

Deoxys-S is another great partner with Armarouge due to its access to Spikes and Stealth Rock allowing Armarouge to break through bulkier Pokemon like the Ogerpon formes and Ting-Lu and breaking Sturdy/ (this would be an or than a /) Focus Sash from Ogerpon-C, Forretress and Great Tusk. Deoxys-S can also set screens for Armarouge, allowing it to live a hit from Pokemon like Greninja, (Gren feels off since if you mention even without endure it kinda feels like if I click endure then I'll beat them right? But you dont since Gren uses special moves. Exca is also a bit iffy since you also die to sandstorm damage if it CB Eq'ed you for instance but its fine to keep Exca and just find a different guy over gren meo) Lokix, and Excadrill and OHKO them back with Weakness Policy boosted moves without the need for Endure. Hoopa-U and Gallade are great offensive partners for Armarouge due to the former handling Ghost-types like Spectrier and non-Choice Specs Flutter Mane while the latter deals with Dark-types like Alolan Muk and Ting-Lu (Scarf Hoopa, AV Hoopa and Gallade? Hoops can mostly deal with FM with either set too, so we can just say FM meow). Hatterene is a good partner due to its imperative access to Magic Bounce, granting Armarouge some relief from hazards and if holding a Kasib Berry, it can also slow (...down, or just say Paralyze) fast Ghost-types like Dragapult and Hisuian-Zoroark (I feel like this is missing the nuzzle mention, H.Zor feels like a weird mention here tho, could it be just something else instead?). Iron Boulder and Latios both appreciate Armarouge's ability to eliminate annoying Steel-types like Corviknight and Scizor, in return the former checks fast threats like Choice Scarf Meowscarada, Greninja, and Roaring Moon while the latter uses its ground immunity and BoltBeam coverage to eliminate threats (walls over threats?) like Empoleon and Gliscor. Slowbro is also a good defensive partner for Armarouge as it is a good water resist that can take hits from Barraskewda and Gyarados and can deal with Ceruledge if it chooses to be itemless.
