Bunnelby @ Life Orb
Ability: Huge Power
Level: 5
EVs: 228 Atk / 52 Def / 220 Spe
Adamant Nature
IVs: 23 HP
- Quick Attack
- Return
- Earthquake
- Iron Head / Stone Edge

With solid coverage and a useful Speed tier, Bunnelby is monstrous wallbreaker in LC. When boosted by Life Orb, Return and Earthquake crush slower foes, while Quick Attack often threatens to KO many quicker Pokemon. Due to Bunnelby's raw damage output, it can often forgo predictions assuming its few consistent checks are not present. These traits combine to make Bunnelby one of the tier's best Sticky Webs attackers. However, Bunnelby's viability is not limited to a single strategy; with Spikes up, it becomes an even more savage wallbreaker with Pursuit support, and the likes of Trapinch can be equally daunting to face. Unfortunately, Bunnelby's best check, Gastly, is both reliable and becoming much more common. Similarly, priority users such as Pawniard and Timburr are as dominant as ever and make resilient checks to Bunnelby even if they do struggle to switch in. Even still, Bunnelby will always be difficult to face and a valuable option for offensive teams.

Bunnelby is monstrous wall breaker in LC, effectively boasting the tier's second highest Attack stack thanks to Huge Power.
If the only thing topping it is an unviable Pokemon with an item, it's probably fair to say it's the highest in the meta. Either that or say one of the top/highest in the metagame.
few sturdy checks are not present.
Don't use words like Sturdy in cases like this, as it also could imply the ability, replace it with reliable.
These traits combine to make Bunnelby perhaps the tier's premier Sticky Webs abuser.
That's still Abra or Gastly as far as I'm concerned, I'd replace it with one of or best physical.
However, Bunnelby's viability is not limited to a single archetype; stacking Spikes turns Bunnelby into an even more savage wallbreaker while utilizing Pursuit and the likes of Trapinch can be equally brutal to face
This line is confusing. It implies Bunny wants to set spikes on it's own, when in reality it'd rather be attacking. Trapinch and Pursuit trappers are not archtypes as the sentence implies. Maybe we could rephrase this to clearly state what partners work or other ways Bunnelby could work well.
tough? difficult.

QC 1/1
