:sm/lycanroc:
[OVERVIEW]
Thanks to its amazing Speed, great Attack, and coverage, Lycanroc has established itself as a terrifying offensive threat capable of revenge killing multiple tier staples such as Talonflame and Virizion, which gives it an important niche over Archeops. While it does have a great Attack and movepool, it can struggle to get past physically defensive walls that aren't weak to its attacks like Vaporeon, Tangela, and Sandaconda.

[SET]
name: All-out Attacker
move 1: Stone Edge
move 2: Close Combat
move 3: Psychic Fangs / Crunch
move 4: Accelerock
item: Life Orb / Choice Band
ability: Sand Rush
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
With this set, Lycanroc makes for a great revenge killer. Close Combat targets Pokemon like Gigalith, Togedemaru, and Regirock. If running Psychic Fangs, Lycanroc is going to find itself unable to break through Palossand and Claydol; partners that can take them on like Virizion and Alolan Exeggutor are therefore appreciated. They can also weaken other walls such as Weezing in order for Lycanroc to clean. In exchange, they enjoy Lycanroc pressuring Pokemon like Talonflame and Sneasel for them. If running Crunch, Lycanroc struggles against Fighting-types such as Toxicroak and Passimian, which makes teammates like Jellicent and Aromatisse appreciated. While Life Orb makes Lycanroc less prediction reliant, Choice Band makes it hit considerably harder while also not getting chipped down by Life Orb. Lastly, Spikes setters such as Froslass and Garbodor give Lycanroc an easier time wallbreaking. The former can also weaken Ground-types for it, while the latter is able to switch into Fighting-types.

While it does (I think you forgot "have" here) a great attack and movepool, it can struggle to get past physically defensive walls that aren't weak to its attacks, such as Vaporeon, Tangela, and Sandaconda.

With this set, Lycanroc makes for a great wallbreaker and revenge killer. Close Combat targets Pokemon like Gigalith, Togedemaru, and Regirock. If running Psychic Fangs, Lycanroc is gonna find itself unable to break through Palossand and Claydol; partners that can take them on like Virizion and Alolan Exeggutor are therefore appreciated. This sentence and the next 3 should probably be moved to after the LO vs CB section- you can still mention what PsyFangs / Crunch hits, just move the teammates part. They can also weaken other walls such as Weezing in order for Lycanroc to clean. In exchange, they enjoy Lycanroc pressuring Pokemon like Talonflame and Sneasel for them. If running Crunch, Lycanroc struggles against Fighting-types such as Toxicroak and Virizion (Virizion will get into CC range pretty easily and its also mentioned as something that Lycanroc can revenge, so saying it struggles against it seems weird. You could replace this with Pass maybe?), which makes teammates like Jellicent and Aromatisse appreciated. While Life Orb makes Lycanroc less prediction reliant, Choice Band makes it hit considerably harder while also not getting chipped down by Life Orb. Lastly, Spikes setters such as Froslass and Garbodor give Lycanroc an easier time wallbreaking. The former can also weaken Ground-types for it, while the latter is able to switch into Fighting-types.

Checking the short recent analysis and not the old longer analyses first because I'm lazy

[OVERVIEW]
Thanks to an amazing Speed, great Attack, and coverage, Lycanroc has established itself as a terrifying wallbreaker I dont... I dont know if wallbreaker is right? it doesn't break through walls it just hits slower offensive mons. I would call it "offensive threat" or or something but wallbreaker isn't quite right capable of revenge killing multiple tier staples, such as Archeops, Talonflame, and Virizion. While it does have a great attack and movepool, it can struggle to get past physically defensive walls see that aren't weak to its attacks, such as Vaporeon, Tangela, and Sandaconda. I do like the shortness but im not sure your first sentence quite gets to how useful its unique speed+coverage is or explains how it differentiates itself from Archeops. the latter in particular could use a mention

Lastly, Spikes setters such as Froslass and Garbodor give Lycanroc an easier time wallbreaking. The former can also weaken Ground-types for it, while the latter is able to switch into Fighting-types. a defensive partner or two would be nice, it could really use things that pivot into U-Turn bc scarf toge/pass will be clicking that if they get the chance
