Foongus is an LC tier titan, finding itself as staple Pokemon on balance teams. With a Grass / Poison typing, it finds itself as one of the best pivots in the tier, switching in frequently to huge threats in the tier like Mienfoo and Snivy. Having Regenerator to heal off any damage taken allows it to pop back up throughout the match, checking these Pokemon indefinitely. It is also used a lot for its annoying utility move Spore, which paired with its dual STAB coverage, makes Foongus hard to check safely. Foongus finds itself weak to Flying- and Fire-type moves as well as struggling to hit Poison-types, which are really common in LC. This can be neutralized by using Foongus in a core with Onix, which resists all three types and threatens them with its STAB moves. Try Foongus yourself, he's a fun guy!

This should start with a sentence clarifying Foongus's role; it's one of our best pivots and is notable since it doesn't lose a lot of momentum despite having no U-turn and doing little damage (this is of course because Spore + Regenerator).

Don't say Foongus is a staple on bulky teams. Bulky teams don't really exist in LC when compared to other tiers, so balanced is a better word to use.

Foongus is not weak to Poison

Foongus finds itself weak to Flying- and Fire-type moves as well as struggling to hit Poison-types that, which are really common in LC. This can be neautraliszed by using Foongus in a core with Onix as it, (AC) which resists all three attacktypes and threatens them with its super effective typingSTAB moves.
