[SET COMMENTS]
With outstanding physical bulk, a superb defensive typing, and access to Unaware and Curse, Dondozo is one of the tankiest walls in the tier, capable of taking on most physical attackers like Garchomp, Kingambit, Zamazenta, and Swords Dance Cinderace. Body Press is normally used over a STAB move, as it allows Dondozo to hit Ogerpon-W and Mega Gyarados, the latter being especially important due to its infamous stallbreaking nature; however, it can use Waterfall if those Pokemon are checked by a teammate. Heavy-Duty Boots lets Dondozo ignore entry hazards entirely, which would otherwise greatly hinder its ability to sit on the plethora of physical attackers present in the tier. Dondozo's ability is crucial for the role it provides, as, alongside Curse, Unaware allows it to ignore foes' boosts as it accumulates its own, enabling it to blanket major physical setup sweepers like Swords Dance Iron Valiant, Landorus-T, and Hisuian Samurott. This allows Dondozo to serve a wall that thrives against offense and hyper offense teams that rely heavily on physical attackers, making it a solid pillar in defensive cores that can compensate for its lack of utility.

Despite Dondozo's amazing defensive capabilities, its lack of reliable recovery, situational ability, and weak offensive presence without multiple boosts make it extremely exploitable and easy to play around, thus only finding its place on dedicated stall teams that don't mind being passive. Clodsire and Blissey are stellar teammates, as they cover for Dondozo's low Special Defense. Clodsire's typing, amazing special bulk, and Unaware let it wall Dondozo counters like Gholdengo and Tapu Koko, the latter being especially important to answer, as it disables Rest and hits Dondozo super effectively. In return, Dondozo walls Pokemon that threaten to KO Clodsire like Urshifu-R, Great Tusk, and Melmetal. Blissey's ridiculous bulk lets it serve a similar role to Clodsire, checking even boosted special attackers with relative ease while also handling Mega Charizard Y and Special Attack Protosynthesis Raging Bolt more efficiently. Shedinja is another good teammate, as it deals with Ogerpon-W lacking Knock Off and spreads Will-O-Wisp to further aid Dondozo in walling physical attackers, while Dondozo can sit on physical attackers that can hit Shedinja for super effective damage like Kingambit and Zamazenta. Corviknight and Mega Sableye can also be considered due to their ability to control entry hazards effectively with Defog and Magic Bounce, respectively, meaning Dondozo doesn't mind losing Heavy-Duty Boots as much. Both Pokemon also check offensive behemoths, with Corviknight taking on Tapu Lele and Kartana, while Mega Sableye handles Mega Medicham and Mega Latios. Meanwhile, both appreciate that Dondozo can check powerful physical Fire-types like Ceruledge and Blaziken.

With outstanding physical bulk, a superb defensive typing and acess to the boost ignoring unaware exacerbated by it's Curse, Dondozo is one of the tankiest walls in the tier, capable of taking on most physical attackers the meta has to offer, including the likes of Mega Charizard X, Garchomp Kingambit, Mega Gyarados Zamazenta and SD Cinderace stuff like zama chomp dnite is more relevant than xard mgyara. Body Press is mandatory over it's STAB on the moveset as it allows Dondozo to hit Ogerpon-Wellspring, Kingambit and Mega Gyarados, the latter being especially important for it's infamous stallbreaking nature. Heavy-duty Boots allow Dondozo to ignore hazards entirely, who'd otherwise greatly hinder it's ability to sit on the plethora of physical attackers present in the tier. prolly want a sentence on specifically what unware lets u 1v1 and why its so important

Despite of Dozo's amazing defensive capabilities, it's lack of reliable recovery, situational ability and weak offensive presence without getting multiple boosts make it extremely exploitable and easy to play around, thus only finding it's place on dedicated stall teams which don't mind being passive. Clodsire and Blissey are stellar teammates, as they cover for Dozo's weaker special defense, Clodsire can be an especially good teammate, as it's typing and amazing special bulk let it wall Tapu Koko, who resists body press, disables Rest and hits it super effectively., this is good but you want more examples than js koko, there are a fair few special mons u also wanna mention Shedinja is also a good teammate as it deals with and Ogerpon-Wellspring lacking Knock Off and non Subroost Dragon Dance prolly wanna change this to dd caus this could mean 3a asw which runs hp fire Kyurem, preferably alongside Blissey so Kyurem's pressure can be managed more easily, filler Corviknight and Mega Sableye are also teammates to consider due to their ability to control the hazards in field effectively because of Defog and Magic Bounce respectively, allowing Dondozo to not mind losing boots as much, both Pokemon also check common hazards setters like Landorus-therian, Great Tusk and Ting Lu. dozo checks these as well? your better off mentioning them being helpful into stuff like lele mlati as well as removing hazards

you dont mention anywhere in the second para what dozo checks and what appreciates its presence

Good start but would like to see again before giving 1/2, also try and double check all your spelling and grammar because it seemed like commas were used instead of full stops a few times and abilities and moves need capitalisation

Corviknight and Mega Sableye are can also teammates to consider be considered due to their ability to control entry hazards effectively with Defog and Magic Bounce, respectively, meaning Dondozo doesn't mind losing Heavy-Duty Boots as much. Both Pokemon also check offensive behemoths, with Corviknight taking on Tapu Lele and Kartana, while Mega Sableye handles Mega Medicham and Mega Latios. Meanwhile, both appreciate that Dondozo can check powerful physical Fire-types like Ceruledge and Blaziken.
