[SET COMMENTS]
Defog Giratina is a mixed wall that can spread status, remove entry hazards, and phaze out offensive threats like Mewtwo, Palafin, and Zamazenta. Dragon Tail can work on Taunt users like Arceus-Dark and Arceus-Grass, whereas Roar phazes Substitute users like Palkia-O and Fairy-types like Magearna and Zacian. Will-O-Wisp punishes physical attackers like Zacian and Palafin for switching in, but Draco Meteor can be used instead to hit Pokemon like Palkia-O and Kyurem-W, which would otherwise be safe switch-ins, and make Giratina less passive. Tera Fairy fixes Giratina's Dark- and Dragon-type weaknesses, letting it check Pokemon like Palkia-O, Chi-Yu, and Arceus-Dark; alternatively, Tera Poison turns its Fairy-type weakness into a resistance, allowing it to check Pokemon like Zacian and Magearna for its team, at the cost of a Psychic-type weakness making it worse against Mewtwo and Deoxys. 12 Speed EVs allow Giratina to always outspeed Jolly Kingambit. Giratina is checked by Pokemon like Arceus-Dark, Zacian, and Kyurem-W, so Pokemon that can handle these threats like Arceus-Dark and Zamazenta-C are excellent partners. Giratina checks Pokemon like Palafin, Mewtwo, and Arceus-Poison for its teammates; as a result, offensive Pokemon like Zamazenta-C, Chi-Yu, and Zacian that are checked by these threats benefit greatly from its presence. Pokemon like Kyurem-W and Chi-Yu also benefit from Defog removing the entry hazards that are often used to keep them in check.

Hex Giratina is one of Ubers UU's premier walls thanks to its excellent typing and excellent support movepool. Dragon Tail and Roar offset Giratina's passivity by phazing threats that might try to set up on it, like Zacian, Arceus-Dark, and Landorus; Dragon Tail being unaffected by Taunt typically makes it the preferred option, though Roar's ability to affect Fairy-types and ignore Substitute make it a solid option as well. Thunder Wave is typically preferred to Will-O-Wisp, as it can punish Giratina’s checks like Palkia-O, Zacian, and Chi-Yu for switching in, but Will-O-Wisp can be used instead for its ability to cripple physical threats like Zacian, both Urshifu formes, and Kingambit. Tera Poison allows Giratina to check Fairy-types like Zacian and removes its Dark-, Ice-, and Dragon-type weaknesses, whereas Tera Fairy turns its Dragon- and Dark-type weaknesses into resistances, improving its matchup into Arceus-Dark, Chi-Yu, and Kyurem-W. 12 Speed EVs allow Giratina to always outspeed Jolly Kingambit. Defense EVs can be used over Special Defense investment to check Pokemon like Palafin and Ogerpon-H better. Magearna and Skamory greatly appreciate Giratina's ability to spinblock and its ability to beat many of their checks, like Ogerpon-H, Great Tusk, and Palafin. Giratina's weaknesses to Kyurem-W, Zacian, Chi-Yu, Palkia-O, and Arceus-Dark make Pokemon like Chi-Yu, Arceus-Dark, Zacian, and Zamazenta-C excellent partners, since they can check these threats for it.

Defog Giratina is a Mixed Wall blanket check to offensive Pokemon on both sides of the spectrum (Say mixed wall, and don't talk about "spectrums") in Ubers UU, while also spreading status, removing entry hazards, and phazing out offensive threats like Mewtwo, Palafin, and Zamazenta. Dragon Tail and Roar serve the same purpose, phasing out opposing Pokemon, Dragon Tail can work on Taunt users like Arceus-Dark and Arceus-Grass, whereas Roar phazes out Substitute users like Palkia-Origin, and Fairies like Magearna and Zacian. Will-O-Wisp punishes physical attackers like Zacian and Palafin for switching in, but Draco Meteor can be used instead to punish Pokemon like Palkia-O and Kyurem-W who would otherwise be safe switch ins. Defog’s entry hazard clearing effect makes it an excellent partner to hazard weak Pokemon like Kyurem-W and Chi-Yu. Tera Fairy turns its Dark weakness into a resistance, letting it check Pokemon like Palkia-O, Chi-Yu, and Arceus-Dark (Dragon type weakness too), alternatively, Tera Poison turns Giratina’s Fairy weakness into a resistance, allowing it to check Pokemon like Zacian for its team (With Will-O-Wisp or a Neutral etra Giratina checks zacian, could you provide some more / better examples?). 12 speed EVs allow Giratina to always outspeed Jolly Kingambit. Giratina is often checked by Pokemon like Arceus-Dark, Zacian, and Kyurem-W, so Pokemon who can handle these threats like Skarmory, Arceus-Dark, and Zamazenta-C are excellent partners. Giratina checks Pokemon like Palafin, Mewtwo, and Arceus-Poison for its teammates, as such, offensive Pokemon like Zamazenta-C, Chi-Yu, and Zacian who are checked by these threats benefit greatly from Giratina’s ability to sit on their checks.

Hex Giratina is one of Ubers UU’s premier walls, thanks to its excellent typing paired with an excellent support movepool. Will-O-Wisp and Thunder Wave cripple offensive Pokemon and power up Hex, (Seems unneeded and fluff considering you follow up with what these do anyway?) Thunder Wave is typically being preferred, as it can punish Giratina’s checks like Palkia-O, Zacian, and Chi-Yu for switching in. Though Will-O-Wisp can be used instead for its ability to cripple physical threats like Zacian, both Urshifu, and Terastalized Arceus-Fire. Dragon Tail and Roar offset Giratina’s passivity by phazing out threats that might try to set up on it, like Zacian, Arceus-Dark, and Landorus, with Dragon Tail being unaffected by Taunt makes it the typically preferred option, though Roar’s ability to hit Fairy-types and ignore Substitute make it a solid option as well. (No mention of Rest or targets of Hex?) Giratina runs either Tera Fairy or Tera Poison, Tera Poison allows it to check Fairy-types like Zacian, while also shedding its Dark, Ice, and Dragon weaknesses, whereas Tera Fairy turns its Dragon and Dark weaknesses into resistances, improving its matchup into Arceus-Dark, Chi-Yu, and Kyurem-W. 12 speed EVs allow Giratina to always outspeed Kingambit. Physical defense evs can be used over special defense in order to check Pokemon like Palafin and Arceus-fire Better. Magearna and Skamory greatly appreciate support from Giratina, with its ability to spinblock, and its ability to beat many of their checks, like Arceus-Fire, Great Tusk, and Palafin. Giratina’s weaknesses to Kyurem-W, Zacian, Chi-Yu, Palkia-O and Arceus-Dark make pokemon like Chi-Yu, Arceus-Dark, Zacian, and Zamazenta-C excellent partners, since they can check these threats for Giratina.
