[removed giga drain from the set you posted since we talked and agreed its ass]

Jumbao stands as CAP's most utilizable bulky Grass-type largely due to its respectable defenses and speed. A Grass / Fairy typing allows it to check some of the most common Pokemon in the metagame, such as Zygarde, Ash-Greninja, and Tapu Koko. Being able to come in on these Pokemon allows Jumbao to pass Wish to its teammates extremely often, making it an excellent partner for Pokemon that lack reliable recovery such as Zygarde, Heatran, and Landorus-T. Trace also allows Jumbao to check more Pokemon it otherwise couldn't, most notably non-Steelium Z Heatran thanks to Flash Fire. Shore Up allows Jumbao to stay healthy regardless of any weather present. Hidden Power Ground offers Jumbao offensive presence against its checks, namely Heatran and Mega Crucibelle, which are both 4x weak to Ground. Zygarde is Jumbao's most common partner, as Jumbao can beat Zygarde's checks in Arghonaut, Tomohawk and Snaelstrom, and Zygarde can handle Pokemon that threaten Jumbao, such as Mega Crucibelle

whilst Wish allows Jumbao to keep its teammates healthy throughout the battle, making Pokemon which lack their own recovery such as Heatran, Magearna and, Landorus-T great teammates.

Zygarde is the primary Jumbao teammate, so I'd like to see that mentioned at the start of the list. Remove Magearna, Assault Vest variants are bad and Shift Gear/OTR sets really don't benefit from Wish support in particular.

Hidden Power Ground offers Jumbao offensive presence against Pokemon which like to come in on it, namely Heatran and Crucibelle which are both 4x weak to Ground.

Mention Mega Crucibelle specifically, because it's much more relevant than Crucibelle.

I'd like to see more emphasis put on just how good Jumbao is as a support Pokemon, once you do that, I'll stamp.
