Flygon's great Speed tier and decent Attack allow it to act as a good revenge killer for offensive teams. Most notably, its ability to outspeed and revenge kill Haxorus after a Dragon Dance is very valuable. This trait, alongside its good offensive and defensive typing and access to U-turn, makes it the best Choice Scarf user in the tier. Flygon's excellent STAB coverage allows it to hit most of the tier for neutral damage, giving it the ability to force many switches into checks such as Galarian Weezing and Bronzong and maintain offensive momentum with U-turn. As a result, Flygon has a lot of freedom to choose its last move. Dragon Claw allows it to revenge kill Haxorus after a small amount of chip damage without locking into Outrage, as well as revenge killing Noivern. Alternatively, Defog gives Flygon the ability to remove entry hazards and support its teammates more.

Flygon is fairly weak on its own; as such, it appreciates strong wallbreakers like Machamp, Heliolisk, and Toxtricity for their ability to soften up the opposing team, and they appreciate its ability to get them in safely via U-turn. Machamp is a good option, as it pressures many of Flygon's checks, such as Galarian Weezing and Bronzong. Toxtricity and Heliolisk are excellent partners for Flygon due to their ability to threaten Water-types such as Milotic and Mantine that would otherwise wall it. They can also use Volt Switch to form a solid VoltTurn core with Flygon and appreciate that Flygon checks revenge killers such as Noivern. Incineroar is also an excellent partner for this thanks to its access to Parting Shot and its ability to threaten Bronzong and cripple Galarian Weezing, two of Flygon's most common defensive answers. Pokemon that can lay entry hazards are important to pair with Flygon, as it appreciates the support when forcing switches and needs opposing Pokemon weakened so that it can revenge kill them. Cobalion and Necrozma are good options, as they can threaten Galarian Weezing, set up Stealth Rock, and weaken Pokemon such as Bronzong; in return, Flygon can get them in safely on Galarian Weezing via U-turn. Roserade can lay Spikes for Flygon while also pressuring Vaporeon and defensive Galarian Weezing, and it appreciates the support Flygon's U-turn provides. It can also lay Toxic Spikes, which wear down many of Flygon's bulkier checks. Golisopod can also lay Spikes for Flygon and acts as a reliable answer to Mamoswine, Flygon's best offensive check. In turn, it appreciates that Flygon can help ease its job of revenge killing.

Hi! AM QC check, changes in green.

Access to U-turn allows it to gain momentum against incoming Pokemon that wall it, such as Hippowdon and Galarian Weezing, while also allowing it to revenge kill Pokemon such as Tsareena.

I wouldn't say you revenge Tsareena, not reliably at least. 252 Atk Flygon Outrage vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tsareena: 166-196 (58.2 - 68.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO, you need tons of chip. U-Turn is a roll to 2HKO at full as well.

The chosen EVs maximise Flygon's offensive presence and enable it to Speed tie opposing Choice Scarf Flygon.

Fluff, like yeah we know that max attack maximizes its presence, etc.

Heliolisk is an excellent partner for Flygon due to its ability to threaten bulky Ground and Water types that would otherwise wall Flygon. Heliolisk can also use Volt Switch to form a solid VoltTurn core with Flygon.

Mention that Heliolisk also appreciates Flygon checking its revenge killers such as Noivern.

Roserade can lay Spikes for Flygon while also pressuring Hippowdon, Vaporeon and defensive Galarian Weezing, while also appreciating the support Flygon's U-turn provides.

This is true but there should probably be a section on Toxic Spikes users too, since most of the things that will be switching into Flygon dislike being poisoned, with the exception of Galarian Weezing and Bronzong.

Implemented what I agreed with/changed a couple of things up, thank you!!
Should be QC ready!

Flygon's great Speed tier and decent Attack allow it to act as a good revenge killer and cleaner for offensive teams. Just focus on it being a revenge killer Most notably, its ability to outspeed and revenge kill Haxorus after a Dragon Dance is very valuable, as no other Choice Scarf users in the tier can do this This isn't exclusive to Flygon, you can run stuff like Scarf Intel and Lazzle to rk Haxorus. Instead, I would boast more about it being the best Choice Scarf user in the tier because it outspeeds Haxorus after a boost, good typing/resistances, and has access to U-turn. Access to U-turn allows it to gain momentum against incoming Pokemon that wall it, such as Hippowdon and Galarian Weezing, while also allowing it to revenge kill Pokemon such as weakened Tsareena. Flygon's good offensive typing allows it to hit most of the tier for neutral damage with just its STAB moves, giving it freedom to choose its last move. I would like these sentences rearranged a bit. Say something along the lines of how it's STAB coverage letting it hit most of the tier paired with its Speed tier, lets Flygon force many switches into common checks like Weezing, Bronzong, & Hippo making it an excellent generator of momentum with U-turn. Dragon Claw allows it to revenge kill Haxorus without locking into Outrage, having a decent chance to KO after Stealth Rock damage. Alternatively, Defog gives Flygon the ability to remove hazards and support its teammates more.

Flygon is fairly weak on its own; as such, it appreciates strong wallbreakers for their ability to soften up the opposing team so that Flygon can sweep later in the game. I'm not keen on this being about things that help Flygon sweep because that's not the purpose of Flygon. Instead, change this so it's about teammates that value the safe pivot in from Flygon's U-turn, wallbreakers like Machamp still fall under this. Heliolisk is an excellent partner for Flygon due to its ability to threaten bulky Ground The only relevant Ground-type that really walls Flygon is Hippo so just say Hippowdon and Water types I would give some examples here like Milotic & Mantine. that would otherwise wall Flygon. Heliolisk can also use Volt Switch to form a solid VoltTurn core with Flygon and appreciates that Flygon checks revenge killers such as Noivern. Machamp is another good option for a teammate as it pressures many of Flygon's checks, such as Milotic Mention Galarian Weezing over Milo and Bronzong, while also appreciating Flygon's ability to bring it in safely with U-turn You can mention Machamp as a breaker that appreciates U-turn in the first sentence then just move this point directly below it before leading into Heliolisk. Offensive Pokemon that can lay hazards are important to pair with Flygon, as it appreciates the support when cleaning late-game. Again, the point about entry hazards is good but make it about helping Flygon revenge kill something than cleaning late-game. Roserade can lay Spikes for Flygon while also pressuring Hippowdon, Vaporeon and defensive Galarian Weezing, while also appreciating the support Flygon's U-turn provides. It can also lay Toxic Spikes, which wear down many of Flygon's bulkier checks. Golisopod needs to be here as a good hazard user to pair with Flygon. It also checks Mamoswine, the best offensive check to Flygon, which is deserving of a mention. You will probably need to reword these last two sentences to fit it.

1/2 when you get this done

Thank you, implemented and ready for second check :>

 

[A Cake Wearing A Hat]

bit of a nitpick but i think you should reword the bit about Dragon Claw to be less about "sometimes OHKOing after Stealth Rock" and more about "letting it KO weakened Haxorus without locking into Outrage", given that you should basically just not risk dragon claw most of the time if the Haxorus has only taken SR damage.

Incineroar is a great partner to Flygon. Can slap Bronzong, makes a pivot core.

You mention a lot of Spikes and Toxic Spikes setters, but I think mentioning the few non-ground Stealth Rock users there would be good too. Cobalion, specifically, is an excellent partner, and so's like Necrozma and, on bulkier teams, Bronzong/Gigalith. You know, the usual.

QC 2/2

the putting of "entry" before "hazards" is mostly a preference thing; once a paragraph is all that's needed in the eyes of me and a few others (though maybe it's section ). gp 1/1 once done
