[SET COMMENTS]

Tidy Up Groudon is an excellent mix of offensive and defensive utility, making great use of Tidy Up's Attack and Speed boosts to exploit the lack of Ground-resistant Pokemon and threaten them with Precipice Blades. Tidy Up is preferred over Victory Dance thanks to its ability to clear entry hazards and Substitute, as well as Victory Dance sets being easily PP stalled. Knock Off and Glare punish Imposter users and common switch-ins like Dondozo. Strength Sap provides higher instant recovery than Recover but cannot reliably recover Good as Gold and Magic Bounce users in the long-term. Fur Coat and Ice Scales provide great defensive utility and allow Groudon to check a wide variety of attackers, such as Zacian-C, Miraidon, and Ursaluna. A Jolly nature allows Groudon to outspeed Zacian-C after a boost. Leftovers and Heavy-Duty Boots provide longevity and make it more reliable as an entry hazard remover, but Covert Cloak is useful to help against Scald users and confusion from Zacian-C's Magical Torque. Groudon fits on a wide variety of balance and offensive teams who appreciate it keeping entry hazards under control, and teammates like Arceus-Electric or Zacian-C are good for their ability to pressure Groudon switch-ins like Dondozo and Giratina. Groudon does not appreciate offensive Water-types such as Palkia-O or Palafin, so allies that can switch in on these like Kyogre are recommended. Tera Water is used to resist V-create from Zacian-C without being weak to Ground-type attacks like an Imposter user's Precipice Blades.

Tidy Up Groudon is an excellent mix of offensive and defensive utility, making makling great use of Tidy Up's Attack and Speed boosts to exploit the lack of Ground-resistant Pokemon and fire off threatening threaten with Precipice Blades. Knock Off and Glare are used as methods to punish Imposter users from transforming into it. Strength Sap provides higher instant recovery than Recover but is weaker against Good as Gold users in the long term don't forget magic bounce user's also give strength sap a hard time. Fur Coat and Ice Scales provide great defensive utility and allow Groudon to check a wide variety of attackers, with Impish and Careful natures, respectively, helping boost its bulk - alternatively, a Jolly nature allows Groudon to outspeed Zacian-C after a boost. Leftovers and Heavy-Duty Boots provide good longevity and make it more reliable as an entry hazard remover removal tool, but Covert Cloak is useful to help against Scald users and confusion from Zacian-C's Magical Torque. Groudon fits on a wide variety of balance balanced and offensive teams who appreciate it easily keeping entry hazards under control, and teammates like Arceus-Electric or Zacian-C are good for their ability to pressure Groudon's switch-ins like Dondozo or Giratina.

Tidy Up Groudon is an excellent mix of offensive and defensive utility, making great use of Tidy Up's Attack and Speed boosts to exploit the lack of Ground-resistant Pokemon and threaten with Precipice Blades Should mention what makes Tidy Up more appealing than VD here, you mentioned good defensive utility but do not explain it. Knock Off and Glare are methods to punish Imposter users from transforming into it They also do a good job of punishing common switch-ins into this set such as the mentioned Dondozo and Giratina. Strength Sap provides higher instant recovery than Recover but is weaker against Good as Gold and Magic Bounce users in the long term This is not just weaker as you straight up cannot recover, should just be "but cannot recover reliably against ..." or something along the lines. Fur Coat and Ice Scales provide great defensive utility and allow Groudon to check a wide variety of attackers such as?, with Impish and Careful natures helping boost its bulk - alternatively, a Jolly nature allows Groudon to outspeed Zacian-C after a boost I think this can be simplified to just "A Jolly nature can be run to outspeed Zacian-C after a boost" or something, no need to explain how Impish and Careful boost bulk. Leftovers and Heavy-Duty Boots provide longevity and make it more reliable as an entry hazard remover, but Covert Cloak is useful to help against Scald users and confusion from Zacian-C's Magical Torque. Groudon fits on a wide variety of balance and offensive teams who appreciate it keeping entry hazards under control, and teammates like Arceus-Electric or Zacian-C Surely Miraidon is more mention worthy than Eleceus, also mention how Groudon in return can imposterproof are good for their ability to pressure Groudon's switch-ins like Dondozo or Giratina. I would mention a defensive partner (and also mention what offensively threatens this Groudon set) since this Groudon also has a defensive role. Tera Water is used to resist V-create from Zacian-C without being weak to Ground-type attacks like an Imposter user's Precipice Blades.

- arc-elec mentioned specifically because it's physical, so it threatens dondozo more handily as teams will rely on it more for phys walling. teams will have dedicated mirai switchins that groudon probably won't have anything to do with.
