[SET COMMENTS]

A high base Speed stat and the combination of Unburden and Grassy Seed make Hawlucha a great mid- or late-game sweeper. Hawlucha's ability in Unburden doubles its Speed stat after using its held item, allowing it to outspeed every unboosted Pokemon in the metagame. Additionally, the Defense boost it gains from Grassy Seed gives Hawlucha an easier time setting up against Rillaboom and Foul Play Mandibuzz. Taunt takes advantage of passive Pokemon like non-Brave Bird Corviknight, Toxapex, and Hippowdon, preventing them from healing or using Haze or phazing moves. You can opt to run an alternative spread of 44 HP / 224 Atk / 116 SpD / 124 Spe if running Substitute to tank a Scald from Toxapex. It can also be used to have better odds against Mandibuzz and non-Whirlwind Hippowdon. Make sure to weaken defensive Pokemon like Slowbro, Clefable, and Toxapex before setting up, as Hawlucha has problems dealing with them otherwise.

Rillaboom is a mandatory teammate for Hawlucha, reliably setting up Grassy Terrain and bringing Hawlucha in safely via U-turn, significantly increasing its setup capabilities. In return, Rillaboom appreciates Hawlucha's ability to weaken its checks like Mandibuzz and Corviknight. Excadrill can support Hawlucha as a dedicated suicide lead, setting up Stealth Rock against Magic Bounce users like Xatu and Hatterene and clearing entry hazards, garnering from its spinning proficiency. Wallbreakers that can help chip down the opposing team for Hawlucha can be helpful; Urshifu-S and Gengar capitalize on Hawlucha's needs, muscling through physically defensive walls like Slowbro and Toxapex so Hawlucha can sweep later on. Dragon Dance Dragapult is a fantastic partner to deter revenge killers like Focus Sash Alakazam and weaken checks like physically defensive Clefable with Steel Wing. Volcarona pairs great with Hawlucha, luring in specially defensive Pokemon like Blissey for Hawlucha to set up against. It can also set up on passive Pokemon like Corviknight and weaken Toxapex to put it in range of a +2 Acrobatics from Hawlucha.

A high base Speed stat with the combination of Unburden and Grassy Seed makes Hawlucha a great mid- to late-game sweeper. Hawlucha’s ability Unburden, doubles the Speed stat, allowing it to outspeed every unboosted Pokemon in the game. (Doubles the Speed stat after using its item) Additionally, the Defense boost it gains from Grassy Seed gives Hawlucha an easier time to setup. Taunt takes advantage of passive Pokemon like non-Brave Bird Corviknight, Toxapex, and Hippowdown, preventing them from healing or using Haze or phazing moves. Make sure to weaken defensive Pokemon like Slowbro, Clefable, and Toxapex before setting up as Hawlucha has problems dealing with them otherwise.

Rillaboom is a mandatory teammate for Hawlucha, reliably setting up Grassy Terrain and bringing in Hawlucha safely with U-turn. (I’d remove or reword the U-turn bit, makes it sound like it needs U-turn + for Hawlucha to come in, just say it makes it easier to find possible setup opportunities) Moreover, it can apply pressure on defensive Pokemon giving Hawlucha more opportunities to setup. In return, Rillaboom appreciates Hawlucha's ability to weaken its checks like Mandibuzz and C xx orviknight. Excadrill can support Hawlucha as a dedicated suicide lead, preventing entry hazards and getting Stealth Rock against Magic Bounce users like Xatu and Hatterene and (can) help soften Hawlucha's checks. (How is this related? This makes me think that Xatu is beating things like Mandi and Corvi, which it’s not, and Hatt doesn’t necessarily beat Corvi either) Wallbreakers that can help chip down the opposing team for Hawlucha can be helpful: Urshifu and Gengar capitalizes on Hawlucha's needs, muscling through physically defensive walls like Slowbro and Toxapex so Hawlucha can sweep later on. Dragon Dance Dragapult is a fantastic partner to deter revenge killers like Focus Sash Alakazam and Choice Specs Kyurem. (I’d like to see Volc here too, being able to setup vs things like Corv or Slowbro + Hawlucha being able to SD on Chans / having a weakened Pex is huge)

QC 1/2 when done, good job

Additionally, the Defense boost it gains from Grassy Seed gives Hawlucha an easier time to setup.

Mention a few examples -- it can set up easier on Pokemon like opposing Rillaboom, Excadrill, or Foul Play Mandibuzz easier thanks to the defense boost.

I would also mention the option of Substitute with an EV spread to live Toxapex Scald (this) as a potential move. It does not need a slash, but it surely deserves a mention. It also makes the job even easier against Mandibuzz, non-Whirlwind Hippowdon, and Tang/Amoong going for a status move (you risk less than Taunting on an attack that can harm you arguably).

Dragon Dance Dragapult is a fantastic partner to deter revenge killers like Focus Sash Alakazam and Choice Specs Kyurem.

I'm missing how Specs Kyurem is a revenge killer to Hawlucha honestly. I'd rather you phrase it like "deter revenge killers like Focus Sash Alakazam and weaken checks like physically defensive Clefable with Steel Wing" as revenge killing Hawlucha is oftentimes not a major worry due to the speed boost.

Rest is good, 2/2 with this
