[OVERVIEW]
Flabebe might seem like a viable alternative to Spritzee because of it not relying on Wish and Protect for healing, since it has access to Synthesis, but Spritzee has better physical bulk and a better ability that make it more viable. Flabebe is outclassed by Spritzee because it can use Calm Mind a lot more effectively due to it being able to take physical attacks like Onix's Earthquake.

[SET COMMENTS]
This set intends for Flabebe to set up with Calm Mind and sweep; however, it is walled by Steel-types like Ferroseed and overwhelmed by strong physical attackers like Onix and Ponyta. Flabebe is outclassed by Spritzee because of its better bulk and greater ability to set up with Nasty Plot or Calm Mind.

[OVERVIEW]
Rephrase this to be about how Flabebe may seem to be a viable alternative to Spritzee due to not relying on Wish+Protect for healing since Flabebe has access to Synthesis, but Spritzee's much better physical bulk and actual ability make it better in practice. Mention that even Calm Mind sets are outclassed by Spritzee.

[SET]
This needs a name.

[SET COMMENTS]
Mention that it's completely walled by Steel-types too. Don't say "Fairy-types like Spritzee", make it clear that it is basically just Spritzee who outclasses Flabebe, I'd also highly suggest not mentioning Trick Room and instead just saying that Spritzee can boost with either Calm Mind or Nasty Plot.

This set intends for Flabebe to set up with Calm Mind and sweep; however, it is walled by Steel-types like Ferroseed and is overwhelmed by strong physical attackers like Onix and Ponyta. Flabebe is outclassed by Spritzee because of its better bulk and can greater ability to set up with Nasty Plot or Calm Mind to become a more dangerous sweeper.
I think my additions help clarify how Spritzee essentially directly outclasses Flabebe. I think you can remove the section in green if you like however. Either is fine.

QC: 2/2
