As a result of its defensive profile synergizing well with its threatening attacks and serviceable Speed tier, Qwilfish is an incredibly versatile Choice Scarf user that can surprise opponents expecting a defensive set. Choice Scarf Qwilfish provides both offensive and defensive value, revenge killing weakened foes while using Intimidate to switch into attackers in a pinch. Gunk Shot sets Qwilfish apart from other Water-type attackers, letting it dismantle Grass-types like Hisuian Decidueye, Alolan Exeggutor, and Hisuian Electrode. Liquidation is a similarly powerful STAB attack that helps it revenge kill weakened foes like Grafaiai and Sneasel. Flip Turn lets Qwilfish quickly pivot into a partner that can better handle walls like Orthworm and Weezing that switch into it. These forced switches also provide Qwilfish with the opportunity to lay down Spikes, allowing it to bluff a defensive set on certain occasions only for it to surprise the opponent with a revenge kill later on in the game. Barb Barrage is an alternative fourth move, being a more reliably accurate Poison-type attack that can also poison and thus wear down switch-ins like Regirock and Poliwrath. Lastly, Destiny Bond trades KOs with boosted threats like Braviary and Glastrier to prevent sweeps.

Offense teams that need a combination of an offensive and defensive presence love the versatility provided by Qwilfish. Being able to finish off weakened Pokemon synergizes well with wallbreakers that specialize in dealing heavier damage, including Whimsicott, Magneton, and Glastrier. Finishing off foes assists setup sweepers like Oricorio-G, Frosmoth, and Virizion. Qwilfish's defensive utility means that it can still switch into wallbreakers like Hisuian Decidueye and can support extremely frail pivots like Jolteon, Rotom, and Grafaiai. While it primarily focuses on revenge killing, Qwilfish's pivoting with Flip Turn can result in lots of chip damage in tandem with entry hazards set up by Orthworm, Sandslash, or Mesprit. The latter two Pokemon, alongside other Knock Off users like Sneasel and Passimian, can remove Heavy-Duty Boots to ensure hazards help chip down foes. More defensively oriented teams also feature walls like Articuno and Snorlax that greatly appreciate Flip Turn switching them in. Ghost-types like Palossand and Sableye can block Rapid Spin and wall Toxicroak, one of Qwilfish's prominent checks.

As a result of its defensive profile synergizing well with its threatening attacks and servicable Speed tier, Qwilfish is an incredibly versatile Choice Scarf user. Choice Scarf Qwilfish provides both offensive and defensive value, revenge killing weakened opponents while using Intimidate to switch into attackers in a pinch. Gunk Shot and Liquidation are powerful STAB attacks, allowing it to revenge kill weakened opponents like Grafaiai, Electrode-Hisui, and Sneasel. Flip Turn lets Qwilfish quickly pivot into a partner that can better handle switch-ins like Orthworm and Weezing (are orth and weezing the partner or the switch in? clarify this and add what typical switch ins or partners would be). The switch-ins (such as? or refer to the previous sentence if you add them there) that Qwilfish can force means that it can still run Spikes on its Choice Scarf set, as it gets opportunities to lay down hazards. This also allows it to bluff a defensive set on certain occasions, only for it to surprise the opponent with a revenge kill later on in the game. Barb Barrage is an alternative fourth move, being a more reliably accurate Poison-type attack (barb barrage is to inflict poison on switch ins to wear them down, if it wanted a more accurate reliable poison move it would just run jab. i also think you should mention how important the poison/water typing is offensively since it hits everything for pretty much neutral damage and sets itself apart from like bruxish by being able to hit grass types like dipplin hard)

Offense teams that need a combination of an offensive and defensive presence love the versatility provided by Qwilfish. Being able to finish off weakened Pokémon synergizes well with wallbreakers who specialize in dealing heavier damage, including Whimsicott, Magneton, and Glastrier. Finishing off opponents and pivoting also provide extra offensive pressure to assist setup sweepers like Oricorio-Sensu, Frosmoth, and Virizion. Its defensive utility means that it can still switch into attacks (from who?), helping it support extremely frail pivots like Electrode-Hisui, Rotom, and Grafaiai. While it primarily focuses on revenge killing, Qwilfish's pivoting with Flip Turn can result in lots of chip damage in tandem with hazards set up by Orthworm, Sandslash, or Mesprit. This more defensively-oriented teams also feature walls like Articuno and Snorlax that greatly appreciate Flip Turn switching them in. (mention ghost type teammates that help with toxicroak + keep hazards up)

As a result of its defensive profile synergizing well with its threatening attacks and servicable Speed tier, Qwilfish is an incredibly versatile Choice Scarf user also note that Choice Scarf adds surprise value against those expecting defensive sets. Choice Scarf Qwilfish provides both offensive and defensive value, revenge killing weakened opponents while using Intimidate to switch into attackers in a pinch. Gunk Shot sets Qwilfish apart, letting it dismantle Grass-types like Dipplin dismantle is stretching it, Gunk Shot has a mere 31% to even 2HKO it with the help of Stealth Rock. I'd list Decidueye-H instead, Exeggutor-Alola, and Electrode-Hisui. Liquidation is a similarly powerful STAB attack that helps it revenge kill weakened opponents like Grafaiai and Sneasel. Flip Turn lets Qwilfish quickly pivot into a partner that can better handle opposing walls like Orthworm and Weezing that switch into it, with common teammates like Virizion and Jolteon greatly benefitting from safely being brought in mention this stuff in the second paragraph. These forced switch-ins also provide Qwilfish the opportunity to lay down Spikes. This also allows it to bluff a defensive set on certain occasions, only for it to surprise the opponent with a revenge kill later on in the game. Barb Barrage is an alternative fourth move, being a more reliably accurate Poison-type attack that can Poison and thus wear down switch-ins like Regirock and Poliwrath. Talk about Destiny Bond here

Offense teams that need a combination of an offensive and defensive presence love the versatility provided by Qwilfish. Being able to finish off weakened Pokémon synergizes well with wallbreakers who specialize in dealing heavier damage, including Whimsicott, Magneton, and Glastrier. Finishing off opponents assist setup sweepers like Oricorio-Sensu, Frosmoth, and Virizion. Its defensive utility means that it can still switch into opposing wallbreakers like Sneasel and Glastrier Sneasel is a shaky example and the matchup could very much flip b/c of Knock Off and Inner Focus blocking intimidate, esp if Sneasel is banded. Decidueye-H seems to be a better example honestly, helping it support extremely frail pivots like Electrode-Hisui, Rotom, and Grafaiai. While it primarily focuses on revenge killing, Qwilfish's pivoting with Flip Turn can result in lots of chip damage in tandem with hazards set up by Orthworm, Sandslash, or Mesprit a lot of mons also have Heavy-Duty Boots to circumvent hazard weaknesses, so mention Knock Off mons that can more quickly wear-down switch-ins too. This more defensively-oriented teams also feature walls like Articuno and Snorlax that greatly appreciate Flip Turn switching them in. Ghost-types like Palossand and Sableye can also block Rapid Spin and wall Toxicroak, one of Qwilfish's prominent checks.

Choice Scarf Qwilfish provides both offensive and defensive value, revenge killing weakened foes opponents while using Intimidate to switch into attackers in a pinch. Gunk Shot sets Qwilfish apart (from other choice scarf users? write that if so), letting it dismantle Grass-types like Hisuian Decidueye -Hisui, Alolan Exeggutor -Alola, and Hisuian Electrode-Hisui. Liquidation is a similarly powerful STAB attack that helps it revenge kill weakened foes opponents like Grafaiai and Sneasel. Flip Turn lets Qwilfish quickly pivot into a partner that can better handle opposing walls like Orthworm and Weezing that switch into it. These forced switches -ins also provide Qwilfish with the opportunity to lay down Spikes, (comma) allowing . This also allows it to bluff a defensive set on certain occasions (remove comma) only for it to surprise the opponent with a revenge kill later on in the game. Barb Barrage is an alternative fourth move, being a more reliably reliable and accurate Poison-type attack that can also poison Poison and thus wear down switch-ins like Regirock and Poliwrath. Lastly, Destiny Bond is another good option for the final moveslot, trading KO's trades KOs with boosted threats like Braviary and Glastrier to prevent opposing sweeps.

Being able to finish off weakened Pokémon Pokemon synergizes well with wallbreakers who that specialize in dealing heavier damage, including Whimsicott, Magneton, and Glastrier.

Qwilfish's Its defensive utility means that it can still switch into opposing wallbreakers like Hisuian Decidueye -Hisui and, helping it and can (this part feels a bit unclear to me, make sure my edit still make sense) support extremely frail pivots like Hisuian Electrode-Hisui, Rotom, and Grafaiai. While it primarily focuses on revenge killing, Qwilfish's pivoting with Flip Turn can result in lots of chip damage in tandem with entry hazards set up by Orthworm, Sandslash, or Mesprit. The latter two 2 Pokemon, alongside other Knock Off users like Sneasel and Passimian, can remove opposing Heavy-Duty Boots to ensure hazards help chip down foes the opponent. More defensively-oriented (remove hyphen) teams also feature walls like Articuno and Snorlax that greatly appreciate Flip Turn switching them in. Ghost-types like Palossand and Sableye can also block Rapid Spin and wall Toxicroak, one of Qwilfish's prominent checks.
