Choice Scarf Flutter Mane is an incredibly potent revenge killer and late-game cleaner thanks to its strong STAB combination, solid coverage options, and blazing Speed tier. Notably, it outspeeds faster Pokemon like Dragapult, boosted threats such as Baxcalibur and Quaquaval, and Choice Scarf users like Greninja and Meowscarada, all of which can threaten the offensive teams that Flutter Mane is part of. Mystical Fire threatens Steel-types such as Corviknight and Iron Treads, while Psyshock revenge kills Choice Scarf Iron Moth and hits specially bulky Pokemon like Clodsire. Thunderbolt pressures Corviknight better and 2HKOes physically defensive Toxapex after Stealth Rock, while Energy Ball takes care of Gastrodon.

Spikes from the likes of Brambleghast and Froslass are terrific support options, chipping down bulky foes like Toxapex and Ting-Lu that would otherwise switch into Flutter Mane freely. Thanks to Good as Gold blocking Defog and its Ghost-typing, Gholdengo is a notable partner to keep Spikes up. Brambleghast also helps threaten Gastrodon and provides Rapid Spin support as well. Wallbreakers like Mimikyu and Gholdengo can pressure the opposition early-game, allowing for Flutter Mane to clean up late-game with ease; moreover, Mimikyu can overwhelm Steel-types like Kingambit and Iron Treads with Drain Punch, while Gholdengo can make use of Trick to cripple walls like Clodsire and Corviknight. Setup sweepers such as Dragon Dance Dragapult and Swords Dance Ceruledge are valuable teammates that function as back-up late-game cleaners, especially against types Flutter Mane can struggle with such as Poison and Steel. Moreover, Ceruledge and Mimikyu have the added benefit of safely revenge killing opposing fast threats Flutter Mane can't handle easily, like Choice Scarf Flutter Mane and Dragon Dance Dragapult, with Shadow Sneak. Skeledirge is a notable partner to compensate for Flutter Mane's lack of physical bulk, taking on Bullet Punch users like Scizor and Lucario as well as being fantastic in the Steel, Fighting, and Bug matchups.

Choice Scarf Flutter Mane is an incredibly potent revenge killer and late-game cleaner thanks to its strong STAB comibnation, solid coverage options, and blazing Speed tier. Notably, it outspeeds faster threats like Dragapult, boosted threats like Baxcalibur and Quaquaval Armarouge, and Choice Scarf users like Greninja and Meowscarada, all of which can threaten the offensive teams that Flutter Mane fits in. Mystical Fire improves the Steel matchup by threatening the likes of Corviknight, Iron Treads, and Kingambit (sucker punch stinky....I think improves isnt the correct word for it imo, because Flutt isnt going to OHKO any of these, but after Skeledirge/Ceruledge does the thingy then Flutt might sweep) with a single attack, while Psyshock lets Flutter Mane revenge kills Choice Scarf Iron Moth and is its strongest attack against specially bulky Pokemon like Clodsire and Blissey. Thunderbolt pressures Corviknight better and 2HKOes pPhysically dDefensive Toxapex after Stealth Rock, while Energy Ball takes care of Gastrodon.

Spikes from the likes of Brambleghast and Froslass are terrific support options to chip down bulky foes like Toxapex and Ting-Lu Garganacl that would otherwise switch into Flutter Mane freely, which also makes Gholdengo a notable partner to keep the aforementioned Spikes up by blocking Defog and Rapid Spin (entry Hazard removal? Mortal spin is used in monotype more than defog, since there's no defog except for corv iirc) attempts thanks to Good as Gold and its typing. Wallbreakers like Gengar, Mimikyu, and Gholdengo can pressure the opposition early-game for Flutter Mane to clean up late-game easier; moreover, Gengar in return appreciates Flutter Mane pressuring Dark-types like Tyranitar and Ting-Lu, Mimikyu can overwhelm their Steel-type checks like Kingambit, Corviknight, and Iron Treads, while Gholdengo can make use of Trick to cripple walls like Clodsire and Corviknight. Setup sweepers like Dragon Dance Dragapult and Swords Dance Ceruledge are valuable teammates as back-up late-game cleaners, especially against types that Flutter Mane can struggle with such as (Pick between Poison or Water) Normal and Steel. Ceruledge in particular provides a terrific check to Scizor, which can revenge kill Flutter Mane easily. Moreover, it alongside Mimikyu has the added benefit of safely revenge killing opposing Choice Scarf Flutter Mane and Dragon Dance Dragapult with Shadow Sneak, fast threats that Flutter Mane can’t easily handle.
*If desired, you can add skeledirge for taking on threats like BP Sciz/Lucario as well as being fantastic in the steel, fighting, and bug mus too.

GP 1/1! Please credit ken as well

"after Stealth Rock" is fine as-is; does not need damage
"Thanks to Good as Gold blocking entry hazard removal and its Ghost-typing, this" is incorrect. For a dependent introduction clause, the noun it is modifying needs to be the first word after the comma
Missed a capitalization of Spikes
"Choice Scarf Flutter Mane and or Dragon Dance Dragapult" this introduced an error; since you are giving examples of "threats" earlier in the sentence, the list should be joined with and. If it had been examples of "a threat like Mane or Pult" then or would have been correct




GP Team done
