:Flutter Mane:
[OVERVIEW]

* Flutter Mane's extraordinary Special Attack and Speed combined with its fantastic offensive typing makes it one of the most effective cleaners in the format, 2HKOing the majority of the metagame. Flutter Mane can also play a supportive role for its team thanks to Icy Wind and Speed Booster Energy.

* Offensive sets appreciate Pokemon that bring speed control like Latias and Tornadus, as well as Pokemon that provide it with longevity like Incineroar and Amoonguss. Supportive sets instead become the speed control and help support slower offensive Pokemon like Urshifu-R and Chi-Yu. Chi-Yu works particularly well as a partner, bolstering Flutter Mane's damage with Beads of Ruin and checking Steel-types like Kingambit while Flutter Mane takes care of Fighting-types like Urshifu-R in return.

* Bulky Assault Vest users that can take a boosted Moonblast and OHKO Flutter Mane in response like Kingambit and Rillaboom are some of its toughest matchups. Flutter Mane also faces issues into faster threats like Chien-Pao and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R. Additionally, redirectors like Indeedee-F and Ogerpon-W mitigate its damage output when on the field.

[OVERVIEW]

* Flutter Mane's extraordinary Special Attack and Speed stats combined with its fantastic offensive and defensive typing makes it one of the most effective breakers in the format. Flutter Mane can also play a supportive role for its team thanks to Speed-boosting Booster Energy and Icy Wind. Flutter Mane is especially strong into special attackers like Landorus and Raging Bolt, as it can output huge damage and take their hits well. (i dont think these 2 are great examples of flutter fodder, i feel like its more of just the entire format in general being unable to eat both its stabs, maybe rephrase it to say something like its unique combination of STABs and speed allows it to 2HKO most Pokemon in the format, maybe insert that line after the first and put the line on icy wind last)

* Offensive Flutter Mane sets appreciate Pokemon that bring speed control like Latias and Tornadus, as well as Pokemon that provide it with longevity like Incineroar and Amoonguss. Supportive Flutter Mane instead becomes the speed control and looks for decently fast strong offensive threats helps support slower offensive Pokemon like Urshifu-R and Chi-Yu. The latter helps it with Beads of Ruin and Steel-types like Kingambit, and Chi-Yu works particularly well as a partner, bolstering Flutter Mane's damage with Beads of Ruin and checking Steel-types like Kingambit while Flutter Mane takes care of Fighting-types like Urshifu-R in return.

* Bulky Assualt Vest users that can OHKO Flutter Mane like Kingambit and Rillaboom are some of its toughest matchups. (rephrase this to mention that they can take a boosted moonblast and also have access to priority and can KO a chipped flutter) (also add on indeedee/waterpon(?) as redirectors as those can annoy flutter, good to mention faster mons like chien pao and scarf shifu as well)

* Flutter Mane utilizes Icy Wind as a backup option for speed control option and as coverage to OHKO the Landorus forms. (the current lando dex spread doesn't die to icy win majority of the time, while lando t is usually fat enough to eat at least one, maybe rephrase this portion or just remove it entirely) Thunderbolt and Power Gem are strong coverage options for important Pokemon like Tera Water Urshifu-R and Incineroar respectively.

* Choice Specs Flutter Mane takes advantage of Tera Fairy by dropping its Shadow Ball weakness and becomes one of the strongest Pokemon in the format.

- Commas before 'while' are only needed when it means 'whereas' / is showing contrast. If 'while' is used to mean 'at the same time as' then a comma isn't needed. "Chi-Yu works particularly well as a partner, bolstering Flutter Mane's damage with Beads of Ruin and checking Steel-types like Kingambit, (AC) while Flutter Mane takes care of Fighting-types like Urshifu-R in return" is showing contrast (x can d y, whereas y can do z in return), so a comma is needed here.
- Pokemon can't 'live' attacks, they survive / take them in the same way a person doesn't 'live' an accident, they survive it.
- 'survive a Surging Strikes from a Choice Scarf Urshifu-R' - just survive Surging Strikes from Choice Scarf Urshifu-R is fine, no need to add 'a'
