[SET COMMENTS]
Florges finds itself used over other Calm Mind sweepers like Scream Tail and is one of PU's best bulky setup sweepers thanks to its great defensive typing, wide range of utility options, reliable recovery, and immunity to Dragon Tail. Florges has a wide variety of options for its third moveslot; Psychic Noise is coverage for Poison-types like Salazzle when Florges would want to avoid Terastallizing, and it also prevents Specially Defensive walls like Gastrodon and Wish Scream Tail from attempting to stall out Florges with their recovery. Tera Blast should be paired with Tera Ground, which allows Florges to break through Poison- and Fire-types like Galarian Slowbro, Coalossal, and Arcanine. Finally, Wish allows Florges to provide support for its team and gives it extra PP for recovery to pair with Synthesis; it is primarily used as a wall rather than a primary win condition, although it comes at the cost of not having coverage. The given EV spread allows Florges to obtain as much physical bulk as possible while also outspeeding Adamant Golurk as well as opposing walls such as Wo-Chien and Milotic. When not running Tera Blast, Tera Poison is ideal for a strong defensive typing, allowing Florges to set up against Pokemon like Galarian Slowbro and Bellibolt. Tera Ground should be paired with Tera Blast, (AC) and although it provides a worse defensive typing, it allows Florges to set up against Pokemon like Salazzle as well as Pokemon like Kilowattrel and Delphox.

Florges is most commonly used on bulky balance teams looking for a secondary wincon that, when teamed with a primary wincon like Arcanine and Decidueye, can also function as a special wall or a Wish passer if need be. Even with investment, Florges's physical bulk is not good enough to set up against physical attackers like Paldean Tauros-F and Scyther, so physical walls like Bellibolt, Mudsdale, and Altaria make excellent partners. Likewise, in order for Florges to attempt a sweep without Tera Blast Ground, Fire- and Steel-types like Arcanine, Delphox, and Alolan Sandslash must be chipped or KOed, which can be achieved by Pokemon like Golurk, Inteleon, and Rotom-H. In return, Florges can soft check and threaten out their offensive checks like Zoroark and Goodra. Florges's ability to soft check and threaten Dark- and Fighting-types like Grimmsnarl, Zoroark, Scrafty, and Hariyama makes the likes of Galarian Slowbro, Galarian Articuno, and one's own Scrafty amazing partners. In return, these three can defensively or offensively check some of Florges's own checks like an opposing Galarian Slowbro and Bronzong. If Florges opts for Wish, the ability to pass Wish is extremely beneficial to offensive partners like Staraptor and Decidueye, which chip away at opposing walls like Milotic and Gastrodon that can phaze out Florges, allowing Florges to sweep; Wish is also beneficial for partner walls lacking reliable recovery like Mudsdale, Houndstone, and Gligar.

Florges is one of PU's best bulky setup sweepers thanks to its great defensive typing, wide variety of coverage and utility options, and stellar special bulk. Florges has a wide variety of options for its third moveslot; Psychic Noise is coverage for Poison-type Pokemon like Salazzle while also not allowing Specially Defensive walls like Gastrodon and Scream Tail (which Scream Tail set? Can't we just outboost and moonblast to win? Otherwise, we aren't gaining much on a well-predicted Psychic Noise that we wouldn't get from just CMing to full and spamming moonblast, and a better example should be used ) attempt to stall out Florges with their recovery. Tera Blast should be paired with Tera Ground and allows Florges to break through Poison- and Fire-types like Galarian Slowbro, Salazzle Coalossal (new example + relevancy), and Arcanine. Finally, Wish allows offers Florges to support its team and offer ultility by wishpassing extra PP for recovery to pair with Synthesis, and when Florges is used primarily as a wall rather than a win condition, then its better to provide Wish support than coverage (You can take this verbatim or rewrite to what you want, but ultimately we need to justify the difference as to why you would forfeit coverage for Wish. It's more than just supporting the team, it's actively giving up coverage to to support the team, which should be addressed. That, and the extra PP is a valid reason to include as well) The given EV spread allows Florges to obtain as much physical bulk as possible while also outspeeding Adamant Golurk as well as opposing walls such as Wo-Chien and Milotic. On Florges When not running Tera Blast, Tera Poison is ideal for a strong defensive typing, allowing Florges to set up against Pokemon like Galarian Slowbro, opposing Florges (why the mirror? isn't it worse if you are now weak to Psychic Noise? and choice scarf just means you still lose to trick. Why not Bellibolt so you dodge Toxic?), and Salazzle. Tera Ground should be paired with Tera Blast and although it provides a worse defensive typing, it allows Florges to set up against Toxtricity as well as Pokemon like Kilowattrel and Coalossal (For Coalossal, what does Tera Ground give you defensively that Tera Poison doesn't? Also, Toxtricity's Boomburst is always stronger than Overdrive no matter the possible typings here, so you're really only maybe setting up on a set that runs Sludge Bomb, which is also a weak justification if any).

Florges finds itself on a variety of teams, but most commonly finds itself on bulky balance teams looking for a secondary wincon who can also function as a special wall or a wishpasser if need be (Good). Even with investment, Florges's physical bulk is lacking which makes it hard is not good enough to set up against physical attackers like Paldean Tauros-F and Scyther, so physical walls like Bellibolt and Mudsdale make excellent partners. Likewise, in order for Florges to attempt a sweep without Tera Blast Ground, Fire- and Steel-types like Arcanine, Delphox, and Alolan Sandslash must be chipped or KOd. As such, Pokemon like Golurk, Inteleon, and Rotom-H make excellent partners. In turn, Florges can softcheck and threaten out their offensive checks like Zoroark, Choice Scarf Flamigo, and Goodra. Florges's ability to softcheck and threaten Dark- and Fighting-types like Grimmsnarl, Zoroark, Scrafty, and Hariyama makes the likes of Galarian Slowbro, Galarian Articuno, and ones own Scrafty amazing partners (it sounds like you're saying Florges is an amazing partner to "Galarian Slowbro, Galarian Articuno, and ones own Scrafty," but why are these three amazing partners to Florges? Remember we're first and foremost writing about the mon in the analysis and how to support it. If you want to keep this sentence as an "in return" line that's fine, but what are these three actively doing for Florg?). If Florges opts for Wish, the ability to wishpass is extremely benefital beneficial to offensive partners like Staraptor and Decidueye as well as partner walls lacking reliable recovery like Mudsdale, Houndstone, and Gligar. (See my last point. Maybe mention what the offensive partners are capable of to help make way for a CM sweep. We know why the phys walls are good already thanks to your second sentence, so that's fine just to list them)

Florges is one of PU's best bulky setup sweepers thanks to its great defensive typing, wide variety of coverage (it's coverage is horrible)and utility options, and stellar special bulk.(this stuff can be said about any florges set, focus on the stuff that makes it a good setup mon like reliable recovery and immunity to dtail) Florges has a wide variety of options for its third moveslot; Psychic Noise is coverage for Poison-types like Salazzle (mention that it's the best coverage option if you dont wanna waste your tera)while also not allowing Specially Defensive walls like Gastrodon and Wish Scream Tail attempt to stall out Florges with their recovery. Tera Blast should be paired with Tera Ground and allows Florges to break through Poison- and Fire-types like Galarian Slowbro, Coalossal, (isnt coal just setup bait)and Arcanine. Finally, Wish offers Florges extra PP for recovery to pair with Synthesis, primarily when used as a wall rather than a primary win condition, while also supporting its team.(switch the order here, the mention of it being able to support the team should go first)(also mention the downside in that it means moonblast is its only attack) The given EV spread allows Florges to obtain as much physical bulk as possible while also outspeeding Adamant Golurk as well as opposing walls such as Wo-Chien and Milotic. When not running Tera Blast, Tera Poison is ideal for a strong defensive typing, allowing Florges to set up against Pokemon like Galarian Slowbro, Bellibolt, and Salazzle(salazzle's toxic still works on it). Tera Ground should be paired with Tera Blast and although it provides a worse defensive typing, it allows Florges to set up against Pokemon like Salazzle as well as Pokemon like Kilowattrel and Delphox.(you mention that u should only run tblast with tera ground, but should u only run tera ground if u have tblast?)

Florges finds itself on a variety of teams, but most commonly finds itself on bulky balance teams looking for a secondary wincon (if it's a secondary wincon, what are examples of first-ary wincons?)who can also function as a special wall or a wishpasser if need be. Even with investment, Florges's physical bulk is not good enough to set up against physical attackers like Paldean Tauros-F and Scyther, (and can make it easier to rk) so physical walls like Bellibolt and Mudsdale make excellent partners. (maybe mention ways to lower atk like intimidate and willowisp users too)Likewise, in order for Florges to attempt a sweep without Tera Blast Ground, Fire- and Steel-types like Arcanine, Delphox, and Alolan Sandslash must be chipped or KOd. As such, Pokemon like Golurk, Inteleon, and Rotom-H make excellent partners. In turn, Florges can softcheck and threaten out their offensive checks like Zoroark, Choice Scarf Flamigo(eh, bb is still a 2hko), and Goodra. Florges's ability to softcheck and threaten Dark- and Fighting-types like Grimmsnarl, Zoroark, Scrafty, and Hariyama makes the likes of Galarian Slowbro, Galarian Articuno, and ones own Scrafty amazing partners. In return, these three can check some of Florges own checks defensively or offensively like an opposing Galarian Slowbro and Bronzong. If Florges opts for Wish, the ability to wishpass is extremely beneficial to offensive partners like Staraptor and Decidueye, who chip away at opposing walls like Milotic and Gastrodon for Florges to sweep(they also have clear smog/haze (and dtail if u tera)), as well as partner walls lacking reliable recovery like Mudsdale, Houndstone, and Gligar.
Talk about why you'd use CM Florges over CM Scream Tail or Defensive Wish Florges

Florges finds itself used over other Calm Mind sweepers like Scream Tail and is one of PU's best bulky setup sweepers thanks to its great defensive typing, wide range of utility options, reliable recoverly recovery, and immunity to Dragon Tail. Florges has a wide variety of options for its third moveslot; Psychic Noise is coverage for Poison-types like Salazzle when Florges would not want to Tera while avoid Terastallizing, and it also not allowing prevents Specially Defensive walls like Gastrodon and Wish Scream Tail attempt from attempting to stall out Florges with their recovery. Tera Blast should be paired with Tera Ground, which and allows Florges to break through Poison- and Fire-types like Galarian Slowbro, Coalossal, and Arcanine. Finally, Wish offers allows Florges to provide support for its team and gives it extra PP for recovery to pair with Synthesis, (RC); it is primarily when used as a wall rather than a primary win condition, although it comes at the cost of Florges not having coverage. The given EV spread allows Florges to obtain as much physical bulk as possible while also outspeeding Adamant Golurk as well as opposing walls such as Wo-Chien and Milotic. When not running Tera Blast, Tera Poison is ideal for a strong defensive typing, allowing Florges to set up against Pokemon like Galarian Slowbro and Bellibolt. Tera Ground should be paired with Tera Blast, (AC) and although it provides a worse defensive typing, it allows Florges to set up against Pokemon like Salazzle as well as Pokemon like Kilowattrel and Delphox.

Florges finds itself on a variety of teams, but is most commonly finds itself used to avoid repeating sentence structure from the first sentence of the above paragraph on bulky balance teams looking for a secondary wincon that, when teamed with a primary wincon like Arcanine and Decidueye, (AC) who can also function as a special wall or a wishpasser Wish passer if need be. if this is not what you are trying to say re: Florges's function on a team please tag me on disc Even with investment, Florges's physical bulk is not good enough to set up against physical attackers like Paldean Tauros-F and Scyther, so physical walls like Bellibolt, Mudsdale, and Altaria make excellent partners. Likewise, in order for Florges to attempt a sweep without Tera Blast Ground, Fire- and Steel-types like Arcanine, Delphox, and Alolan Sandslash must be chipped or KOd. As such, KOed, which can be achieved by Pokemon like Golurk, Inteleon, and Rotom-H make excellent partners. avoiding 3x repetition of "make excellent partners" In turn return, Florges can softcheck soft check and threaten out their offensive checks like Zoroark and Goodra. Florges's ability to softcheck soft check and threaten Dark- and Fighting-types like Grimmsnarl, Zoroark, Scrafty, and Hariyama makes the likes of Galarian Slowbro, Galarian Articuno, and ones one's own Scrafty amazing partners. In return, these three can defensively or offensively check some of Florges's own checks defensively or offensively like an opposing Galarian Slowbro and Bronzong. If Florges opts for Wish, the ability to wishpass pass Wish is extremely beneficial to offensive partners like Staraptor and Decidueye, who which chip away at opposing walls like Milotic and Gastrodon who that can phaze out Florges, allowing so Florges to sweep, as well as; Wish is also beneficial for partner walls lacking reliable recovery like Mudsdale, Houndstone, and Gligar.
