[SET COMMENTS]
Heliolisk is a strong offensive threat that is notable for its ability Dry Skin, which grants it a Water immunity, allowing it to switch into Water-types such as Vaporeon and Milotic without fear of their STAB moves. These traits, alongside its ability to outspeed Pokemon such as Cobalion and Mamoswine that its competition struggles with, are what separate it from Rotom-C and Toxtricity. Hyper Voice allows it to hit Pokemon that resist its Electric-type moves hard, such as Roserade and Tsareena. Grass Knot is Heliolisk's best coverage move for Ground-types, allowing it to OHKO Mamoswine and Rhyperior, as well as being Heliolisk's best option against Gigalith. Surf can be used over Grass Knot for its reliable damage output and to hit Incineroar and Chandelure harder; however, it is not a guaranteed OHKO on Mamoswine or Rhyperior and, as such, is generally not preferred. Protect is an option over Hyper Voice to prevent revenge killing from First Impression users such as Golisopod and Haxorus, but it leaves Heliolisk walled by Grass-types such as Roserade and Celebi. Life Orb is the item of choice, as it gives Heliolisk a much needed power boost on its attacks, allowing it to 2HKO Milotic and Vaporeon with ease. Choice Specs can be used for more power, notably allowing Heliolisk to 2HKO Gigalith with Grass Knot, though its lock-in effect can be problematic. Expert Belt can be used over either item to give Heliolisk a power boost on targets it hits super effectively; it can also be used to bluff a Choice Specs set, allowing for some surprise KOs on Pokemon such as Mamoswine.

Heliolisk works very well in VoltTurn cores with other Pokemon that can take advantage of the Pokemon it forces in. Teammates like Cobalion and Flygon can take advantage of one of Heliolisk's most common switch-ins, Gigalith, and, in return, they can force in bulky Water-type Pokemon for Heliolisk to prey upon. Cobalion can also set up Stealth Rock, making it easier for Heliolisk to wear its checks down over the course of the game. Pokemon that can break bulky Steel- and Grass-types, like Machamp, Chandelure and Ninetales, are great partners. Machamp is also a great choice because it can break down Umbreon, one of the best counters to Heliolisk. Lucario can also take advantage of Umbreon and put pressure on Noivern and Bronzong. Mamoswine is a good partner because it can threaten Noivern, one of Heliolisk's most common revenge killers, and appreciates Heliolisk's ability to get it in safely on Pokemon like Gigalith, Roserade, and Rotom-C. Incineroar is another good partner, as it often forces in Rhyperior, which Heliolisk can threaten out with Grass Knot, and it provides a solid check to Choice Scarf Chandelure, a common Pokemon that tries to revenge kill Heliolisk. Noivern is a good partner because it can threaten Grass-types that Heliolisk struggles with, such as Venusaur and Roserade. It can also help to wear down their shared checks, such as Bronzong and Gigalith, while aiding Heliolisk by using U-turn on the Water-types it forces in, allowing Heliolisk to threaten them. Escavalier is a good partner for its ability to threaten Gigalith, Roserade, and Celebi while appreciating Heliolisk's ability to remove Water-types.

[SET COMMENTS]
When equipped with a Choice Scarf, Heliolisk becomes a very fast revenge killer that can handle many weakened faster threats that it would otherwise struggle with, such as Dragon Dance Haxorus, Noivern, and Modest Venusaur in sun; they must all have taken significant chip damage, however. Access to Volt Switch allows it to maintain offensive momentum and makes it difficult for offensive teams to deal with it. It is capable of switching into opposing Water-types and forcing them out thanks to Dry Skin giving it an immunity to Water-types moves. Grass Knot is capable of OHKOing Mamoswine and Rhyperior after minor chip damage, as well as being Heliolisk's strongest option against Gigalith.

This set is lacking in power and is unable to break Pokemon such as specially defensive Vaporeon and Milotic as well as Gigalith on its own; as such, it performs more of a supportive role in revenge killing. Cobalion and Mamoswine appreciate Heliolisk's ability to outspeed and threaten common revenge killers such as Inteleon and Choice Scarf Gardevoir, and, in return, they can weaken opposing Pokemon so that Heliolisk has an easier time threatening them. They can also take advantage of the switches Heliolisk forces, capitalizing on Pokemon such as Gigalith and Roserade. Noivern is a good partner too, as its ability to remove entry hazards and use U-turn to bring Heliolisk in on the Water-types it threatens is very helpful. Golisopod can check Ground-types such Mamoswine and Flygon and can aid Heliolisk in revenge killing Pokemon it struggles with, such as Rotom-C.

Heliolisk is a strong offensive threat that is notable for its ability to break down Ground-types that would normally threaten other Electric-types and its ability, Dry Skin, which grants it a Water immunity, allowing it to switch into Water-types such as Vaporeon and Milotic without fear of their STAB moves. These traits, alongside its high Speed tier, could make a brief mention of what you can outspeed with this speed tier, such as Cobalion and Mamoswine that the other 2 can't outspeed, (or ice sharded by in mowtoms case obv) are what separate it from its competition in Rotom-Mow and Toxtricity. Its strong STAB moves allow it to force many switches on common Pokemon such as Mantine, Cobalion and Galarian Weezing, allowing it to generate offensive momentum with Volt Switch. Grass Knot is Heliolisk's best coverage move, as all of its targets are heavy Pokemon that will be hit for high damage, allowing it to OHKO Mamoswine and Rhyperior, as well as giving Heliolisk coverage for the rare Gastrodon probably hard to fit here but If you can manage it I would mention how Gastro survives Hyper Voice -> Grass Knot from EBelt, so its much more prediction heavy against Gastro than other Grounds. Surf can be used over Grass Knot for its reliable damage output and to hit Incineroar harder and to aid Heliolisk in revenge killing Chandelure; however, it is not a guaranteed OHKO on Mamoswine or Rhyperior, and as such is generally not preferred, could also mention how Grass Knot can still hit Bulky waters like Milotic, lessening the burden on prediction. Expert Belt is preferred as it allows Heliolisk to deal extra damage to Pokemon like Vaporeon and Milotic without taking extra damage. Life Orb can be used instead for more power on all of Heliolisk's moves, but its recoil makes it much harder to check Water-types over the course of the game. I would also mention Protect in this section, mentioning how it allows you to prevent Golisopod revenge killing you, and scout Scarf Chandy when trying to revenge u, but mention how this leaves you heavily punishable by Roserade and Celebi due to the abscence of Hyper Voice.

Heliolisk works very well in VoltTurn cores with other Pokemon that can take advantages of the Pokemon Heliolisk forces in. Teammates like Cobalion and Flygon can take advantage of one of Heliolisk's most common switch-ins, Gigalith, and in return they can force in bulky Water-type Pokemon for Heliolisk to prey upon. Cobalion can also set up Stealth Rock, making it easier for Heliolisk to wear its checks down over the course of the game. Incineroar is another good partner as it often forces in Rhyperior, which Heliolisk can threaten out with Grass Knot, and it provides a solid check to Choice Scarf Chandelure, a common Pokemon that tries to revenge kill Heliolisk. Noivern is a good partner for Heliolisk as it can threaten Grass-types that Heliolisk struggles with, such as Venusaur and Roserade. It can also help to wear down their shared checks, such as Bronzong and Gigalith. definitely worth mentioning how Noivern can bring in Heliolisk on bulky Water-types, and provide Defog support, due to Heliolisk being quickly worn down by entry hazards over a match.

I would also mention other checks to offensive Grass-types like Celebi/Roserade that can threaten you, Escavalier and Bronzong spring to mind as good options. Escavalier in particular works nicely with Heliolisk, being able to punish Gigalith as well as the offensive grass types and help to break the enemy team, while greatly appreciating helio dealing with bulky waters for it.

When equipped with a Choice Scarf, Heliolisk becomes a very fast revenge killer that can handle many weakened faster threats that it would otherwise struggle with, such as Dragon Dance Haxorus, Noivern and Modest Chlorophyll Venusaur would specify in Sun just for clarity. I would also mention how it needs considerable chip to RK these Pokemon, since its only doing like 60-70% to haxorus for instance. Access to Volt Switch allows it to maintain offensive momentum and makes it difficult for offensive teams to deal with it. It is capable of switching into opposing Water-types and forcing them out thanks to Dry Skin giving it an immunity to Water. Grass Knot is capable of OHKOing Mamoswine and Rhyperior after minor chip damage as well as being Heliolisk's strongest option against Gigalith.

This set is lacking in power and is unable to break Pokemon such as specially defensive Vaporeon and Milotic as well as Gigalith on its own; as such, support from Pokemon such as Mamoswine and Cobalion is appreciated, as their strong STAB moves can overwhelm Heliolisk's checks. They can also set up Stealth Rock to aid Heliolisk in revenge killing, and Cobalion can even form a VoltTurn core with Heliolisk. Machamp and Celebi could be nice mentions here also to give you Pokemon that can really pressure those bulky Water-types, and both of them massively appreciate Heliolisk bringing in Gigalith, while Celebi can also capitalize on (weakened) Roserade. Noivern is a good partner for this set too, as its ability to weaken Bronzong and Gigalith, pressure Rose/Celebi too remove entry hazards and use U-turn to bring Heliolisk in on the Water-types it threatens are all very helpful. This set really appreciates Spikes support to help it pressure opposing teams. Roserade and Golisopod are both good options; Roserade can aid Heliolisk in threatening bulky Water-types, which its Choice Scarf set can struggle to do, while Golisopod can act as a check to Mamoswine and appreciates Heliolisk's ability to threaten Noivern and Mantine, two of its most common answers. I'd further clarify how Heliolisks's Choice Scarf makes it more prone to being Volt Blocked by Ground-types more easily, and therefore the support Roserade/Goli can provide against like Rhyp/Mamo respectively is extra useful, especially Goli's ability to pivot into Mamo. Could also mention Roserade's ability to pressure Gigalith when brought in on a Volt Switch.

Heliolisk is a strong offensive threat that is notable for its ability to break down Ground-types that would normally threaten other Electric-types All of our elec types have the ability to beat our Grounds bar Tox into the Rhyp matchup. Just say how it can beat all of the tiers Ground-types than referencing to other elecs here. and its ability, Dry Skin, which grants it a Water immunity, allowing it to switch into Water-types such as Vaporeon and Milotic without fear of their STAB moves. These traits, alongside its high Speed tier putting it above This is a weird way to write it, just say it outspeeds these Mons common Pokemon such as Mamoswine and Cobalion that its competition struggles with, are what separate it from its competition in Rotom-Mow and Toxtricity. Its strong STAB moves allow it to force many switches on common Pokemon such as Mantine, Cobalion and Galarian Weezing, allowing it to generate offensive momentum with Volt Switch. I would just cut this and talk about how Hyper Voice lets it beat the Grass-types that resist its Electric coverage. Grass Knot is Heliolisk's best coverage move, as all of its targets are heavy Pokemon that will be hit for high damage, allowing it to OHKO Mamoswine and Rhyperior, as well as giving Heliolisk coverage for the rare Gastrodon. It also hits bulky Water-types relatively hard, meaning it can be used somewhat liberally without too much need for prediction. This feels like fluff that doesn't really need to be mentioned, it seems like something more suited for a choice locked set like Scarf below. Surf can be used over Grass Knot for its reliable damage output and to hit Incineroar and Chandelure harder and to aid Heliolisk in revenge killing Chandelure; however, it is not a guaranteed OHKO on Mamoswine or Rhyperior, and as such is generally not preferred. Expert Belt is preferred as it allows Heliolisk to deal extra damage to Pokemon like Vaporeon and Milotic without taking extra damage. Life Orb can be used instead for more power on all of Heliolisk's moves, but its recoil makes it much harder to check Water-types over the course of the game "so Expert Belt is the preferred item choice to improve its longevity at the cost of some power". This is just my attempt to condense this as it doesn't feel necessary to have this much written on them. Protect is an option over Hyper Voice to prevent revenge killing from First Impression users such as Golisopod and Haxorus, but it leaves Heliolisk walled by Grass-types such as Roserade and Celebi. Move this before you start talking about items.

I'd add a line about Choice Specs being a viable option because of the increased damage output but it is a lot easier to punish it when choice locked.

Heliolisk works very well in VoltTurn cores with other Pokemon that can take advantages of the Pokemon Heliolisk forces in. Teammates like Cobalion and Flygon can take advantage of one of Heliolisk's most common switch-ins, Gigalith, and in return they can force in bulky Water-type Pokemon for Heliolisk to prey upon. Cobalion can also set up Stealth Rock, making it easier for Heliolisk to wear its checks down over the course of the game. Incineroar is another good partner as it often forces in Rhyperior, which Heliolisk can threaten out with Grass Knot, and it provides a solid check to Choice Scarf Chandelure, a common Pokemon that tries to revenge kill Heliolisk. Noivern is a good partner for Heliolisk as it can threaten Grass-types that Heliolisk struggles with, such as Venusaur and Roserade. It can also help to wear down their shared checks, such as Bronzong and Gigalith, while aiding Heliolisk by using U-turn on the Water-types it forces in, allowing Heliolisk to threaten them. Escavalier is a good partner too for its ability to threaten Gigalith, Roserade and Celebi, while appreciating Heliolisk's ability to remove Water-types for it.

Mention some wallbreakers it can bring in to break some of the bulky steels and grass types such as Ninetales etc.

Also list Fighting-types like Machamp, Coba and Lucario that can come in and break Umbreon, one of the best walls to Heliolisk.

I'd mention some partners that help check Noivern as its a decent revenge killer to Heliolisk

Grass Knot is capable of OHKOing Mamoswine and Rhyperior after minor chip damage as well as being Heliolisk's strongest option against Gigalith. As I mentioned above you can move that gknot comment down here with regards to prediction, because this set is very dependant on it.

This set is lacking in power and is unable to break Pokemon such as specially defensive Vaporeon and Milotic as well as Gigalith on its own; as such, support from Pokemon such as Mamoswine and Cobalion is appreciated, as their strong STAB moves can overwhelm Heliolisk's checks. They can also set up Stealth Rock to aid Heliolisk in revenge killing, and Cobalion can even form a VoltTurn core with Heliolisk. Machamp and Celebi are also good examples of Pokemon that can take advantage of the switches Heliolisk forces, capitalising on Pokemon such as Gigalith and, in Celebi's case, Roserade. It feels a bit weird how this is written right now. You mention bulky water types then lead into mamo and coba, which while they can pressure them, they aren't that reliable at doing so. You then seem to neglect this whole point when going into the Machamp and Celebi points because you don't reference back to the water types but Gigalith instead. I'd proofread over these two points and try to format it cleaner because the info is good. Noivern is a good partner for this set too, as its ability to weaken Bronzong, Gigalith, and Grass-types, remove entry hazards and use U-turn to bring Heliolisk in on the Water-types it threatens are all very helpful. This set really appreciates Spikes support to help it pressure opposing teams. Roserade and Golisopod are both good options; Roserade can aid Heliolisk in threatening bulky Water-types and Gigalith, which its Choice Scarf set can struggle to do, while Golisopod can act as a check to Mamoswine, which is important as Choice Scarf Heliolisk is much more prone to getting its Volt Switch blocked. Again I think this needs proofreading a bit, but try to tie both of them into the point of removing the tiers Ground-types that allow Heliolisk to spam its Elec coverage better. Then you can go a bit further into how Goli deals with Mamo and Flygon better, while Rose pressures the bulky Water-types. They both appreciate Heliolisk's ability to threaten Noivern and Mantine, two of their most common answers.

Grass Knot is Heliolisk's best coverage move for Ground-types, as all of its targets are heavy Pokemon that will be hit for high damage, not super necessary info allowing it to OHKO Mamoswine and Rhyperior, as well as giving Heliolisk coverage for the rare Gastrodon. I'd remove the Gastrodon example and instead say that it's Heliolisk's best source of damage against Gigalith. Surf can be used over Grass Knot for its reliable damage output and to hit Incineroar and Chandelure harder e; however, it is not a guaranteed OHKO on Mamoswine or Rhyperior, and as such is generally not preferred.

Both Roserade and Golisopod appreciate Heliolisk's ability to threaten Noivern and Mantine, two of their most common answers. This section is largely centered around supporting Heliolisk when it plays more of a supportive role as a revenge killer itself. Try cutting some of it down to make room for what Heliolisk itself can support (mainly its teams own setup sweepers and wallbreakers). I'd specifically cut the mentions of Spikes users since they aren't particularly crucial teammates for a Choice Scarf user.

Cobalion and Mamoswine appreciate Heliolisk's ability to outspeed and threaten common revenge killers such as Inteleon and Choice Scarf Gardevoir, and,(AC) in return,(AC) they can weaken opposing Pokemon so that Heliolisk has an easier time threatening them. They can also take advantage of the switches Heliolisk forces, capitalising capitalizing on Pokemon such as Gigalith and Roserade. Noivern is a good partner for this set too, as its ability to remove entry hazards and use U-turn to bring Heliolisk in on the Water-types it threatens are is very helpful. Golisopod can check Ground-types such Mamoswine and Flygon (RC) and can aid Heliolisk in revenge killing Pokemon it struggles with, such as Rotom-Mow Rotom-C.
