Set Details
========
- Flutter Mane's role is to capitalize on the Speed boost provided by its sun setter and to offer speed control while pressuring opposing Pokemon to Terastallize with its coverage. In sun, it outspeeds major offensive threats like Miraidon, Koraidon, Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, and Calyrex-S, threatening them with its STAB moves.
- Shadow Ball is useful for threatening Lunala, Calyrex-S, and opposing Flutter Mane more effectively. Icy Wind is Flutter Mane's preferred speed control option, as it slows down both foes—enabling Koraidon, which delivers far greater damage output, to clean up more easily. It also helps break Focus Sash.
- Taunt is a useful tool for shutting down opposing Trick Room setters like Lunala and Calyrex-I, blocking Spore from Amoonguss and Brute Bonnet, and preventing setup from threats like Terapagos. Taunt has niche uses such as stopping Parting Shot from Incineroar and preventing Protect and redirection on turns after Taunt is used, allowing your team to apply as much offensive pressure as possible before the sun runs out.
- Becuase it usually has Koraidon to set the sun for its Protosynthesis Speed boost, this Flutter Mane set can run full offensive investment and a Focus Sash instead of Booster Energy. Focus Sash is valuable for this more offensive Flutter Mane build due to its fragility, especially on the physical side.
- Tera Normal is mainly used as a countermeasure for Calyrex-S to gain an immunity to its Astral Barrage, though it can also be useful to gain an immunity to Lunala's Moongeist Beam. Tera Fairy is used to boost Moonblast's power, which lets it OHKO non-Assault Vest Miraidon outright as well as Tera Dragon Zamazenta-C and Brute Bonnet most of the time. Tera Stellar carries a similar benefit to Tera Fairy in terms of Moonblast OHKOs, though only on its first use, and it can also enable Shadow Ball to score surprise OHKOs on Pokemon such as Shadow Shield Lunala when Chi-Yu is on the field.

Teambuilding
=========
- Bulky Restricted Pokemon like Zamazenta-C and Ho-Oh check this offensive Flutter Mane set, as they can comfortably take its hits and strike back with moves like Behemoth Bash or Heavy Slam and Sacred Fire, respectively.
- Priority move users such as Chien-Pao with Sucker Punch or Ice Shard and Rillaboom with Grassy Glide hinder the effectiveness of the set by breaking Focus Sash or picking up the KO when it is down to 1 HP before it can attack.
- Flutter Mane pairs well with Koraidon because it sets up the sun, triggering Flutter Mane's Protosynthesis Speed boost. In turn, Flutter Mane can provide speed control with Icy Wind, so Koraidon is able to outspeed Pokemon like Calyrex-S and threaten OHKOs with Close Combat or Flare Blitz.
- Flutter Mane is commonly paired with Choice Scarf Chi-Yu to round out a sun core because both Flutter Mane and Chi-Yu exert fast, immediate offensive pressure, with Chi-Yu's ability helping bolster Flutter Mane's damage output.
- Lastly, Pokemon with redirection such as Brute Bonnet and Indeedee-F can help Flutter Mane by protecting it from priority attacks like Raging Bolt's Thunderclap and Chien-Pao's Sucker Punch, particularly when Flutter Mane is taken down to 1 HP.

It also helps break opposing Focus Sashes. Shadow Ball is useful for threatening Lunala, Calyrex-S, and opposing Flutter Mane more effectively.
- Focus Sash is valuable for this more offensive Flutter Mane build due to its fragility, especially on the physical side, and Focus Sash allows it to have more opportunities to survive and attack. (talk abt how you don't need booster as much because u have the speed boost with sun, and how sash allows u to invest in speed and special attack more.)
- Tera Normal is mainly used as a countermeasure for Calyrex-S to gain an immunity to its Astral Barrage; though, it can also be useful to gain an immunity to Lunala's Moongeist Beam. Tera Fairy is used to boost Moonblast's power, which can be handy to OHKO non-Assault Vest Miraidon as well as OHKO Tera Dragon Zamazenta-C and Brute Bonnet--or come very close. Tera Stellar carries a similar benefit to Tera Fairy in terms of Moonblast OHKOs, though only on its first use, and can also enable surprise OHKOs with Shadow Ball, such as into Shadow Shield Lunala when Chi-Yu is on the field.

Teambuilding
=========
- Bulky restricted Pokemon like Zamazenta-C and Ho-Oh check this offensive Flutter Mane set, as they can comfortably absorb its hits and strike back with moves like Behemoth Bash or Heavy Slam, and Sacred Fire, respectively. Additionally, priority users such as Chien-Pao with Sucker Punch or Ice Shard, and Rillaboom with Grassy Glide, hinder the effectiveness of the set by breaking Focus Sash or picking up the OHKO when it is down to 1 HP before it can attack.
- Flutter Mane pairs well with Koraidon because Koraidon sets up the Sun, triggering Flutter Mane's Protosynthesis Speed boost. In turn, Flutter Mane can provide speed control with Icy Wind, so Koraidon is able to outspeed Pokemon like Calyrex-S and threaten OHKOs with Close Combat or Flare Blitz. Additionally, Flutter is commonly paired with Choice Scarf Chi-Yu to round out this sun core because they both exert fast, immediate offensive pressure, and Chi-Yu's ability helps bolster Flutter Mane's damage output. Lastly, Pokemon with redirection such as Brute Bonnet or Indeedee-F can help Flutter Mane by protecting it from priority attacks like Raging Bolt's Thunderclap and Chien Pao's Sucker Punch, particularly when it is taken down to Focus Sash.
(I don't really love how big these are/the amount of bullets you have, I would split the first bullet into ho-oh/zam and pao/rilla and the second into one for korai, one for chi yu, and one for bonnet/indeedee probably. maybe merge chi yu-bonnet-indeedee)

Set Details
========
- Flutter Mane’s role is to capitalize on the Speed boost provided by its Sun setter, (RC) offering and to offer speed control while pressuring opposing Pokemon to Terastallize with its coverage. In Sun, it outspeeds major offensive threats like Miraidon, Koraidon, Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, and Calyrex-S, threatening them with Moonblast and Shadow Ball, (AC) respectively. (some grammar nitpicks, just rolls a bit smoother now)
- Icy Wind is its preferred speed control option, as it slows down both opponents—enabling Koraidon, who delivers far greater damage output, to clean up more easily. It also helps break opposing Focus Sashes. Shadow Ball is useful for threatening Lunala, Calyrex-S, and opposing Flutter Mane more effectively. (make the Shadow Ball sentence first to match the move order)
- Taunt is a useful tool for shutting down opposing Trick Room setters like Lunala and Calyrex-I, blocking Spore from Amoonguss and Brute Bonnet, and preventing setup from threats like Terapagos. Taunt can also have more niche uses such as preventing Parting Shot from Incineroar and redirection or Protect and Wide Guard (this reads a bit weird, can you try and reword this? If not, im sure GP can help) on the subsequent turns, allowing the team to apply as much offensive pressure as possible before the Sun runs out.
- Becuase its partner can set the Sun for its Protosynthesis Speed boost (kinda reads like all partners set sun, I would reword it to something like, "Because partners like Koraidon and Groudon..."), this Flutter Mane can run a fully offensively invested Focus Sash set instead of Booster Energy. Focus Sash is valuable for this more offensive Flutter Mane build due to its fragility, especially on the physical side, and Focus Sash allows it to have more opportunities to survive and attack. (kinda just fluff, assume people reading the analysis know what Sash does)
- Tera Normal is mainly used as a countermeasure for Calyrex-S to gain an immunity to its Astral Barrage; though, it can also be useful to gain an immunity to Lunala's Moongeist Beam. Tera Fairy is used to boost Moonblast's power, which can be handy to OHKO non-Assault Vest Miraidon as well as OHKO Tera Dragon Zamazenta-C and Brute Bonnet--or come very close. Tera Stellar carries a similar benefit to Tera Fairy in terms of Moonblast OHKOs, though only on its first use, and can also enable surprise OHKOs with Shadow Ball, such as into Shadow Shield Lunala when Chi-Yu is on the field.

- Priority users such as Chien-Pao with Sucker Punch or Ice Shard, (RC) and Rillaboom with Grassy Glide, (RC) hinder the effectiveness of the set by breaking Focus Sash or picking up the OHKO KO when it is down to 1 HP before it can attack.
- Flutter Mane pairs well with Koraidon because Koraidon sets up the Sun, triggering Flutter Mane's Protosynthesis Speed boost. In turn, Flutter Mane can provide speed control with Icy Wind, so Koraidon is able to outspeed Pokemon like Calyrex-S and threaten OHKOs with Close Combat or Flare Blitz.
- Flutter Mane is commonly paired with Choice Scarf Chi-Yu to round out this a sun core with Koraidon because they both Flutter Mane and Chi-Yu exert fast, immediate offensive pressure, and with Chi-Yu's ability helps helping bolster Flutter Mane's damage output. (made some structural changes to help it move smoother; you could mention how Chi-Yu beats out the aforementioned priority Pokemon being Rillaboom and Chien-Pao. More importantly, mention how Chi-Yu helps Flutter Mane break through the bulky restricted Pokemon mentioned before.)
- Lastly, Pokemon with redirection such as Brute Bonnet or Indeedee-F can help Flutter Mane by protecting it from priority attacks like Raging Bolt's Thunderclap and Chien Pao's Sucker Punch, particularly when it Flutter Mane is taken down to Focus Sash.

- Flutter Mane’s Mane's (curly → ASCII apostrophe) role is to capitalize on the Speed boost provided by its sun setter and to offer speed control while pressuring opposing Pokemon to Terastallize with its coverage. In sun, it outspeeds major offensive threats like Miraidon, Koraidon, Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, and Calyrex-S, threatening them with Moonblast and Shadow Ball, respectively. ("respectively" isn't really clarifying much here because there are four foes targeted by only two moves, and I feel like readers can pick up which STAB move is more effective. I suggest rewriting this portion to just "its STAB moves".)
- Shadow Ball is useful for threatening Lunala, Calyrex-S, and opposing Flutter Mane more effectively. Icy Wind is its Flutter Mane's preferred speed control option, as it slows down both opponents foes—enabling Koraidon, who which delivers far greater damage output, to clean up more easily. It also helps break opposing Focus Sashes Sash.
- Taunt is a useful tool for shutting down opposing Trick Room setters like Lunala and Calyrex-I, blocking Spore from Amoonguss and Brute Bonnet, and preventing setup from threats like Terapagos. Taunt has niche uses such as stopping Parting Shot from Incineroar or and preventing Protect and redirection and on the subsequent turns, (I'm not sure on what you mean by this, can you elaborate?) allowing the your team to apply as much offensive pressure as possible before the Sun sun runs out.
- Becuase it usually has Koraidon to set the sun for its Protosynthesis Speed boost, this Flutter Mane set can run a fully offensively invested full offensive investment and a Focus Sash set instead of Booster Energy. Focus Sash is valuable for this more offensive Flutter Mane build due to its fragility, especially on the physical side.
- Tera Normal is mainly used as a countermeasure for Calyrex-S to gain an immunity to its Astral Barrage (RSC), (AC) though (RC) it can also be useful to gain an immunity to Lunala's Moongeist Beam. Tera Fairy is used to boost Moonblast's power, which can be handy to OHKO non-Assault Vest Miraidon as well as OHKO Tera Dragon Zamazenta-C and Brute Bonnet--or come very close. (Replace this portion with how likely the move would KO these two, ex. "have a small chance to OHKO...") Tera Stellar carries a similar benefit to Tera Fairy in terms of Moonblast OHKOs, though only on its first use, and it can also enable Shadow Ball to score surprise OHKOs with Shadow Ball (RC) on Pokemon such as into Shadow Shield Lunala when Chi-Yu is on the field.

- Bulky Restricted Pokemon like Zamazenta-C and Ho-Oh check this offensive Flutter Mane set, as they can comfortably absorb take ("absorb" can imply that Flutter Mane's attacks would be nullified) its hits and strike back with moves like Behemoth Bash or Heavy Slam (RC) and Sacred Fire, respectively.
- Priority move users such as Chien-Pao with Sucker Punch or Ice Shard and Rillaboom with Grassy Glide hinder the effectiveness of the set by breaking Focus Sash or picking up the KO when it is down to 1 HP before it can attack.
- Flutter Mane pairs well with Koraidon because Koraidon it sets up the sun, triggering Flutter Mane's Protosynthesis Speed boost. In turn, Flutter Mane can provide speed control with Icy Wind, so Koraidon is able to outspeed Pokemon like Calyrex-S and threaten OHKOs with Close Combat or Flare Blitz.
- Flutter Mane is commonly paired with Choice Scarf Chi-Yu to round out a sun core because both Flutter Mane and Chi-Yu exert fast, immediate offensive pressure, with Chi-Yu's ability helping bolster Flutter Mane's damage output.
- Lastly, Pokemon with redirection such as Brute Bonnet or and Indeedee-F can help Flutter Mane by protecting it from priority attacks like Raging Bolt's Thunderclap and Chien Pao's Chien-Pao's Sucker Punch, particularly when Flutter Mane is taken down to Focus Sash 1 HP.

I'd like to look at this a second time once this is implemented.
 
GP Team done

just this one sentence and it's good to go

Tera Fairy is used to boost Moonblast's power, which can be handy to lets it (reworded such that it's clearer Tera Fairy enables these OHKOs) OHKO non-Assault Vest Miraidon outright as well as OHKO Tera Dragon Zamazenta-C and Brute Bonnet 68.75% and 56.25% most of the time, respectively. (reworded for simplicity and clarity on how often Moonblast nets these OHKOs)
