[SET COMMENTS]
Gengar is a powerful revenge killer on Ghost teams due to its high Special Attack and potent movepool. Sludge Bomb picks off weakened Fairy- and Grass-types such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Zarude. Focus Blast takes down Steel- and Dark-types, such as Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Tyranitar. Dazzling Gleam is also a more accurate way to nail Dark-types, and it hits certain ones like Hydreigon and Galarian Moltres better. A Choice Scarf allows it to outspeed threats such as Choice Scarf Zarude, Choice Scarf Hydreigon, and Dragon Dance Tyranitar, making it one of the best revenge killers for Ghost-type teams.

Gengar has a unique role in absorbing Toxic Spikes, as Ghost teams don't have reliable entry hazard removal to prevent teammates like Galarian Corsola and Mimikyu from being worn down. Galarian Corsola takes on and burns physical attackers such as Excadrill and Zeraora, and it softens up the opposing team for Gengar by setting Stealth Rock. Bulky foes such as Toxapex and Gastrodon can be pressured by Calm Mind Spectrier, which can also spread burns with Will-O-Wisp, wearing down special walls like Drapion and Celesteela. Swords Dance Aegislash deals with Hatterene and Clefable, and it appreciates Gengar removing fast threats such as Zarude and Hydreigon for it. Mimikyu can beat Sucker Punch users like Bisharp and removes Dark-types such as Galarian Moltres, which pose a threat to Gengar and its teammates. Setting Spikes, Froslass helps wear down Pokemon like Toxapex and Heatran to allow Gengar to sweep late-game. Dragapult can handle troublesome Dragon-types like Kyurem and Garchomp, as well as pressuring Volcarona, which can use Gengar as setup fodder.

Other Options
=============

Ghost
--------
Gengar can run Energy Ball to heavily damage Ground-types such as Gastrodon and Hippowdon, or Thunderbolt to damage Flying- and Water-types such as Toxapex and Corviknight, but Focus Blast and Dazzling Gleam are preferred; these cover Ghost's natural weakness to Dark, hitting super effectively against targets like Tyranitar and Hydreigon. Will-O-Wisp + Hex can be used alongside Black Sludge or Life Orb to let Gengar lure in physical attackers; however, this set faces competition from Spectrier. Trick is another option to debilitate specially defensive walls like Blissey and Mantine that come in on Gengar, but the reduced coverage from running it is significant.

Wdym with that? To delete the thread since i don't think i can change tag or anything
Clicking the edit button and hovering to the top left of your Smogon.com screen, you will encounter a dropdown box with options such as WIP, Quality Control, Copyediting, and Done! However, Felines is requesting for you to transition from WIP -> Quality Control. This means he expects you to finish the analysis for judgment in a fixed time. Good luck!! :blobthumbsup:

Paragraph 1:
Gengar can be a powerful revenge killer in on Ghost teams due to his its high base 130 Special Attack and the access to a large in conjunction with its access to a wide movepool. The A Choice Scarf allows him it to outpace almost every Pokemon in the tier and makes him one of the best revenge killers for the Ghost-type teams. Shadow Ball is a really strong spammable STAB move that allows Gengar to hit X, Y, and Z. while Sludge Wave is helpful to destroy Fairy- and Grass-types such as X, Y, and Z. Focus Blast is useful against Steel- and Dark-types such as Tyranitar, Ferrothorn and Heatran, and with Dazzling Gleam helping helps Gengar dealing with Dragon-types like Hydreigon and Kommo-o. 252 Special Attack and 252 Speed EVs are used to maximize his potential as a revenge killer.

Paragraph 2:
Gengar has a unique role in absorbing Toxic Spikes since Ghost-type teams don't have a reliable hazard removal, and he is also able to switch on Toxic to avoid teammates like Galarian Corsola Corsola-G to be worned down. Spectrier and Galarian Corsola Corsola-G can help Gengar by burning physical attackers like Excadrill. (AP) while Dragapult can pressure some Water-types like Mantine, Gastrodon or Toxapex which completelly completely wall Gengar. Mimikyu can beat Sucker Punch users like Bisharp and is able to kill Galarian Moltres Moltres-Galar which can take Dazzling Gleams without problems. would otherwise pose a threat to Gengar and its teammates.

* Trick can be another valid choice is another option to lure annoying mons Pokemon like Blissey, Ferrothorn or Mantine.
* A Will-O-Wisp + Hex combo could can be used alongside with Black Sludge or Life Orb to lure more easily the enemies opposing physical attackers, but he feels the competition of Spectrier which can do the same thing but better. However, this set faces competition from Spectrier.

A Choice Scarf allows it to outpace almost every Pokemon in the tier and makes him one of the best revenge killers for Ghost-type teams. Shadow Ball allows Gengar to hit for neutral damage a big portion of the metagame such as Flying- and Steel-types. (on second thought if Sball's description is going to be this broad, let's just drop the mention+relocated Choice Scarf line)Sludge Wave picks off weakened Fairy- and Grass-types such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Zarude, while Focus Blast and Dazzling Gleam take down Steel-, Dark- and Dragon- types, such as Ferrothorn, Heatran, Tyranitar, and Hydreigon respectively. Focus Blast is useful against Steel- and Dark-types such as Ferrothorn, Heatran and Tyranitar. Dazzling Gleam helps Gengar deals with Dragon- and Dark-types like Hydreigon and Galarian Moltres.

Substitute + (CM Spec always has Sub) Calm Mind Spectrier pressures bulky Pokemon such as Toxapex and Gastrodon can pressure offensively Water-types like Gastrodon or Toxapex which wall Gengar, while also spreading burns with Will-O-Wisp. (add that it also wears down Ghost-resists/special walls like Drapion, Galarian Slowking, and Celesteela, which lets Gengar or it possibly sweep Poison and Flying teams late game) Sword Dance Aegislash deals with Hatterene and Clefable, and appreciates Gengar's ability to remove fast threats such as Zarude and Hydreigon for it. Aegislash and Dragon Dance Dragapult can deals with special walls like Nihilego, Blissey and Swampert, and Gengar can handle Fairy-types for Dragapult, (See notes below) Mimikyu can beat Sucker Punch users like Bisharp and is able to removes Dark- types like such as Galarian Moltres which would otherwise pose a threat to Gengar and its teammates. Blacephalon can be used over Gengar as Choice Scarf user as he offers more offensive power and a more reliable ability in Beast Boost, renouncing to Gengar's unique role to remove Toxic Spikes on the switch-in, large movepool, and higher base Speed.

For the teammates section, its nice to take into account how the other Pokemon help Gengar. For example, though special walls do hamper Gengar, Dragapult cannot really come in to take advantage of those (setting up pult on Blissey kinda makes it ditto bait, and there's P2 to deal with it, Pult also cant setup on Nihilego, and will likely get roared out by Swampert). However, Dragapult can probably deal with Dragon-types like Kyurem which can take Gengar's Focus Miss and OHKO it back, can pressure Volcarona (which Gengar cannot kill), and in turn likes Gengar's ability to delete fast threats that would prevent Pult from setting up.

(Mostly just a nitpick but this section sort of reads kind of rough in that you're just listing info. Maybe try to use some transitions or repharse some sentences to not follow the "x is a good teammate because y". An example would be "Setting spikes, Froslass helps wear down things like z to allow Gengar to sweep late-game.")

--------
Gengar can run Energy Ball to heavily damage Ground-types such as Gastrodon and Hippowdon or Thunderbolt to damage Flying- and Water-types such as Toxapex and Corviknight, but Focus Blast and Dazzling Gleam are preferred since these covers Ghost's natural weakness to Dark, hitting super-effectively targets like Tyranitar and Hydreigon. A Will-O-Wisp + Hex combo can be used alongside Black Sludge or Life Orb to lure opposing physical attackers, however, this set faces competition from Spectrier. Trick is another option to cripple specially defensive walls like Blissey or Mantine that come in on Gengar, but the reduced coverage is significant.

[SET COMMENTS]
Gengar is a powerful revenge killer on Ghost teams due to its high Special Attack and wide (strong/potent>wide? wide as a descriptor here feels weird to me) movepool. Sludge Bomb picks off weakened Fairy- and Grass-types such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Zarude. Focus Blast and Dazzling Gleam take down Steel-, Dark- and Dragon- types, such as Ferrothorn, Heatran, Tyranitar, and Hydreigon respectively (id split this into two sentences, its too much info at once to absorb imo for it to be clean in an analysis). A Choice Scarf allows it to outpacespeed threats such as Choice Scarf Zarude, Choice Scarf Hydreigon, and Dragon Dance Tyranitar, making it one of the best revenge killers for Ghost-type teams.

Gengar has a unique role in absorbing Toxic Spikes as Ghost teams don't have reliable entry hazard removal to prevent teammates like Galarian Corsola and Mimikyu from being worn down. Galarian Corsola takes on and cripples physical attackers such as Excadrill and Zeraora, and softens up the opposing team for Gengar by setting Stealth Rock. Bulky Pokemon such as Toxapex and Gastrodon can be pressured by Calm Mind Spectrier, which can also spreadi burns with Will-O-Wisp, wearing down Special walls like Drapion and Celesteela. Sword Dance Aegislash deals with Hatterene and Clefable and appreciates Gengar's ability to remove fast threats such as Zarude and Hydreigon for it. Mimikyu can beat Sucker Punch users like Bisharp and removes Dark-types such as Galarian Moltres which pose a threat to Gengar and its teammates. Setting Spikes, Froslass helps wear down Pokemons like Toxapex and Heatran to allow Gengar to sweep late-game. Dragapult can handle annoying troublesome Dragon-types like Kyurem and Garchomp, while also pressuring Volcarona which can use Gengar as setup fodder.

Gengar is a powerful revenge killer on Ghost teams due to its high Special Attack and potent movepool. Sludge Bomb picks off weakened Fairy- and Grass-types such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Zarude. Focus Blast takes down Steel- and Dark-types, such as Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Tyranitar, while Dazzling Gleam hits Dragon-types like Garchomp and Hydreigon. Dazzling Gleam is also a more accurate way to nail Dark-types, and it hits certain ones like ________ better. (I imagine something to this effect is worthwhile, since you specify later that fblast and dgleam cover ghost's weakness to dark. if what i put works, just fill in the blank with an appropriate mon or two. of course, you can change the sentence if youd like.) A Choice Scarf allows it to outspeed threats such as Choice Scarf Zarude, Choice Scarf Hydreigon, and Dragon Dance Tyranitar, making it one of the best revenge killers for Ghost-type teams.

Gengar has a unique role in absorbing Toxic Spikes, (AC) as Ghost teams don't have reliable entry hazard removal to prevent teammates like Galarian Corsola and Mimikyu from being worn down. Galarian Corsola takes on and cripples burns physical attackers such as Excadrill and Zeraora, and it softens up the opposing team for Gengar by setting Stealth Rock. Bulky Pokemon foes such as Toxapex and Gastrodon can be pressured by Calm Mind Spectrier, which can also spread burns with Will-O-Wisp, wearing down Special special walls like Drapion and Celesteela. Sword Swords Dance Aegislash deals with Hatterene and Clefable and appreciates Gengar's ability to remove Clefable, and it appreciates Gengar removing fast threats such as Zarude and Hydreigon for it. Mimikyu can beat Sucker Punch users like Bisharp and removes Dark-types such as Galarian Moltres, (AC) which pose a threat to Gengar and its teammates.
