[SET COMMENTS]
Ferrothorn is an effective hazard setter in AG due to its access to Spikes, and the ability to set these repeatedly with the assistance of it impressive natural bulk and strong defensive typing, which allows it to be one of the few reliable checks to Primal Kyogre and the only viable Spikes setter. Ferrothorn utilizes Leech Seed as a semi-reliable form of recovery and a way to deal chip damage to Pokemon that may switch into it, such as Ho-Oh, Zacian-C, and Primal Groudon. Ferrothorn's ability to force switches through Leech Seed pairs well with its capability to stack hazards. Furthermore, Leech Seed should be used liberally throughout the match to keep Ferrothorn as healthy as possible. Knock Off allows Ferrothorn to punish opposing Ho-Oh by removing its Heavy-Duty Boots, making it dangerous for Ho-Oh to switch in when Stealth Rock is up and making it unsafe for Ho-Oh to use Defog on Ferrothorn. In addition, Knock Off also makes Ferrothorn less prone to being trapped by Mega Gengar while greatly reducing the longevity Pokemon that rely on Leftovers like Necrozma-DM. Knock Off works well with the constant chip damage Ferrothorn does to the opposing team through Leech Seed and Spikes, forcing Pokemon like Necrozma-DM to waste its Morning Sun PP to stay healthy. Protect allows Ferrothorn to scout moves from Choice-locked attackers, such as Mega Rayquaza, Kyogre, and Lunala; stall Dynamax turns from Pokemon such as Yveltal and Xerneas; and stall for a little extra Leftovers recovery and potential Leech Seed recovery, which is especially vital versus Water Spout Primal Kyogre. Leftovers is chosen to enable Ferrothorn to semi-reliably switch into Primal Kyogre. Alternatively, Ferrothorn can run Gyro Ball, Power Whip, or Bullet Seed over Knock Off to be able to punish switch-ins such as Zacian-C and Mega Diancie or deal more damage to Primal Kyogre and Substitute Arceus-Water, although Knock Off is generally preferable, as otherwise, Ho-Oh removes freely removes Spikes.

Ferrothorn fits best on hazard stacking balance or bulky offense teams that can patch up its weaknesses. Ferrothorn is vulnerable to strong physical attacks from Pokemon such as Primal Groudon, Mega Rayquaza, and Zacian-C, meaning that it appreciates support from defensive Pokemon like, defensive Zygarde-C, and Arceus-Ground. As Ferrothorn fits best on hazard-stacking teams, it works especially well with defensive Stealth Rock setters like Tyranitar and Necrozma-DM. Although Ferrothorn can punish switches through various ways, it is also fairly passive, so it has a tendency to invite dangerous Pokemon into battle, such as Zacian-C, Yveltal, and Eternatus. Thus, pairing it with a strong defensive backbone consisting of the aforementioned Necrozma-DM, as well as the likes of specially defensive Ho-Oh and Tyranitar, is recommended. Ferrothorn struggles to break Substitute from Pokemon like Zygarde-C and Zekrom, so it appreciates teammates capable of handling those, such as Arceus-Ground. Dragon Dance Zygarde-C frequently forces switches through Dragon Tail, allowing it to rack up significant hazard damage on the opposing as a Ferrothorn partner. Zacian-C and Eternatus also enjoy Ferrothorn's support, as their checks often need to be at or close to full health to switch in safely. Pokemon such as Zacian-C, Mega Rayquaza and Yveltal can immediately threaten Defog Arceus formes and can force many switches to rack up Spikes damage, so they are also good teammates.

Ferrothorn is an effective hazard setter in AG due to its access to Spikes, and the ability to set these repeatedly with the assistance of its impressive natural bulk and strong defensive typing (mention a few Pokemon it can switch into and take advantage of by using Spikes, and explicitly mention the fact that it is one of the very few reliable Primal Kyogre checks, as that's a big deciding factor when using Ferrothorn). Ferrothorn also has access to strong utility moves, such as spikes, with which it can set and re-set hazards repeatedly throughout a match. Spikes is the main appeal of using Ferrothorn, as it is the only viable Spikes user in the tier, thereby providing unique utility to its team. Ferrothorn utilizes Leech Seed as a semi-reliable form of recovery, and to deal chip damage to pokemon that to switch into it such as? mention at least Primal Groudon, Ho-Oh, and Zacian-C. Leech Seed should be used liberally throughout the match to keep Ferrothorn as healthy as possible. Knock Off allows Ferrothorn to punish opposing Ho-oh by removing its Heavy Duty Boots, making it dangerous for Ho-oh to switch in whenever Stealth Rock is up, and making it unsafe for Ho-oh to use Defog on Ferrothorn. Protect allows Ferrothorn to scout moves from Choice-locked attackers, such as some sets of Rayquaza-Mega as Mega Rayquaza, Kyogre, and Lunala, and stall for a little extra leftovers and potential Leech Seed recovery, which notably helps it in checking Primal Kyogre. Leftovers is chosen to provide Ferrothorn with a source of passive recovery throughout the match. this is too obvious to mention, although you could say something along the lines of 'Leftovers allows Ferrothorn to semi-reliably switch into Primal Kyogre' Ferrothorn is also one of the few reliable checks to Kyogre-Primal, able to switch into its moves with near-impunity, then either force Kyogre out or deal chip damage with Leech Seed, further incentivizing a switch. Incorporated in the above Ferrothorn’s ability to force switches through Leech Seed pairs well with its capability to stack hazards. move this sentence to the part where you introduce Leech Seed, before the sentence where you mention that Leech Seed should be used liberally Alternatively, Ferrothorn can run Gyro Ball, Power Whip, or Bullet Seed over Knock Off, to be able to punish switchins such as Zacian-C and Mega Diancie, and deal more damage to Kyogre-Primal, although Knock Off is generally preferable, as otherwise, Ho-Oh freely removes Spikes. In addition, Stealth Rock can be used over Spikes if the team Ferrothorn is being used on otherwise lacks a rocker, although Spikes are generally better for damaging grounded pokemon that are most likely to be switched into Ferrothorn.

First mention the team structures Ferrothorn fits on, ie hazard-stacking balance/bulky offensive builds. Ferrothorn is vulnerable to strong physical attacks from Pokemon such as Groudon-Primal, Mega Rayquaza and Zacian-C, meaning that it appreciates support from defensive Pokemon like Necrozma-Dusk-Mane, defensive Zygarde-C, and Arceus-Ground, which can run stealth rock, taking advantage of Ferrothorn’s ability to remove Heavy-Duty Boots. turn this into a new sentence in which you emphasize that Ferrothorn fits best on hazard-stacking builds along with Stealth Rock setters such as Necrozma-DM and Tyranitar Although Ferrothorn can punish switches through various ways, it is also fairly passive, and therefore, it has a tendency to invite dangerous Pokemon into battle, such as Zacian-C, Yveltal, and Eternatus. Thus, pairing it with a strong defensive backbone consisting of the aforementioned Necrozma-DM, as well as the likes of specially defensive Ho-Oh and Tyranitar, is recommended. and Moreover, Ferrothorn also struggles to break the substitutes of Pokemon like Zekrom and Zygarde-C mention Zygarde-C before Zekrom, so it appreciates teammates capable of handling those, such as the aforementioned Arceus-Ground. Ferrothorn is also vulnerable to trapping by Gengar-Mega, and appreicates pokemon that can Pursuit-trap it, like Tyranitar. mention this in the bit where I suggested you to add Tyranitar as a Stealth Rock setter

You forget to mention what is perhaps the most important notion: name Pokemon that benefit from Spikes and why! (i.e. Zacian-C, Dragon Dance Zygarde-C, Eternatus)

Lots of changes to make so I'll have to take another look at this once you have implemented everything. You also make quite a few grammatical errors, so I suggest you take a look at this thread, in particular sections 1.1 (Spelling) and 1.1.2 (Capitalization)

Ferrothorn best fits best on hazard stacking bulky balance or bulky offense teams that can patch up its weaknesses. Ferrothorn is vulnerable to strong physical attacks from Pokemon such as Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza and Zacian-C, meaning that it appreciates support from defensive Pokemon like Necrozma-Dusk-Mane, defensize Zygarde-C, and Arceus-Ground. As Ferrothorn fits best on hazard-stacking teams, it works especially well with defensive Stealth Rock setters like Tyranitar and Necrozma-Dusk-Mane. Ferrothorn is also very vulnerable to trapping by Pokemon like Mega Gengar, so pairing it with Tyranitar also helps to mitigate that weakness due to Tyranitar’s ability to Pursuit trap Mega Gengar.

Teammates that appreciate Ferrothorn’s hazard-stacking support include Dragon Dance Zygarde-C, which frequently forces switches through Dragon Tail, allowing it to rack up significant hazard damage on the opposing team, as well as Zacian-C and Eternatus, whose checks often need to be at or close to full health to switch in safely, and Eternatus, which appreciates the weakening of checks like specially defensive Necrozma-Dusk-Mane.

A few minor things here and there, but well done :blobthumbsup:
Do make sure to capitalize the words 'Spikes', 'Leech Seed', and 'Pokemon' at all instances, and only use one space whenever starting a new sentence or after a comma

Ferrothorn is an effective hazard setter in AG due to its access to Spikes, and the ability to set these repeatedly with the assistance of it impressive natural bulk and strong defensive typing, which also allows it to be one of the few reliable checks to Primal Kyogre and one of the few viable Spike setters. Spikes is one of the main appeals of using Ferrothorn (I'd argue it's slotted onto teams more for its Kyogre checking abilities), as it is the only viable Spikes user in the tier, thereby providing unique utility to its team. Ferrothorn utilizes Leech Seed as a semi-reliable form of recovery, and to deal chip damage to Pokemon that may switch into it, such as Ho-oh, Zacian-C, and Primal Groudon. Ferrothorn's ability to force switches through Leech Seed pairs well with its capability to stack hazards. Furthermore, Leech Seed should be used liberally throughout the match to keep Ferrothorn as healthy as possible. Knock Off allows Ferrothorn to punish opposing Ho-Oh by removing its Heavy Duty Boots, making it dangerous for Ho-oh to switch in when Stealth Rock is up, and making it unsafe for Ho-Oh to use Defog on Ferrothorn. In addition, it also makes Ferrothorn less prone to being trapped by Mega Gengar, while greatly reducing the longevity of pokemon such as Necrozma Dusk Mane who rely on Leftovers (perhaps mention this also goes well with the chipping effects of spikes and seeds?). Protect allows Ferrothorn to scout moves from Choice-locked attackers, such as Mega Rayquaza, Kyogre, and Lunala, stall dynamax turns from pokemon such as Yveltal and Xerneas, and stall for a little extra leftovers recovery and potential Leech Seed recovery - especially key vs Water Spout Primal Kyogre. Leftovers is chosen to enable Ferrothorn to semi-reliably switch in Primal Kyogre. Alternatively, Ferrothorn can run Gyro Ball, Power Whip, or Bullet Seed over Knock Off, to be able to punish switch-ins such as Zacian-C and Mega Diancie, and deal more damage to Primal Kyogre and substitute Waterceus, although Knock Off is generally preferable, as otherwise, Ho-oh removes freely removes spikes.

Ferrothorn fits best on hazard stacking balance or bulky offense teams that can patch up its weaknesses. Ferrothorn is vulnerable to strong physical attacks from Pokemon such as Primal Groudon, Mega Rayquaza and Zacian-C, meaning that it appreciates support from defensive Pokemon like Necrozma-Dusk-Mane, defensive Zygarde-C, and Arceus-Ground. As Ferrothorn fits best on hazard-stacking teams, it works especially well with defensive Stealth Rock setters like Tyranitar and Necrozma-Dusk-Mane. (Not sure on this one, ferro can either seed or koff on the switch which effectively forces it out again, or dynamax to OHKO it. Ferro is one of the less weak mons to it, imo) Ferrothorn is also vulnerable to trapping by Pokemon like Mega Gengar, so pairing it with Tyranitar helps to mitigate that weakness due to Tyranitar's ability to Pursuit trap Mega Gengar. Although Ferrothorn can punish switches through various ways, it is also fairly passive, and therefore, it has a tendency to invite dangerous Pokemon into battle, such as Zacian-C, Yveltal, and Eternatus. Thus, pairing it with a strong defensive backbone consisting of the aforementioned Necrozma-DM, as well as the likes of specially defensive Ho-Oh and Tyranitar, is recommended. Moreover, Ferrothorn struggles to break Substitute from Pokemon like Zygarde-C and Zekrom, so it appreciates teammates capable of handling those, such as the aforementioned Arceus-Ground. Teammates that appreciate Ferrothorn's hazard-stacking support include Dragon Dance Zygarde-C, which frequently forces switches through Dragon Tail, allowing it to rack up significant hazard damage on the opposing team, as well as Zacian-C and Eternatus, whose checks often need to be at or close to full health to switch in safely. Pokemon such as Zacian, Mega Rayquaza and Yveltal which can immediately threaten Defog Arceus formes and can force many switches to rack up Spikes damage are also good teammates.
