[SET COMMENTS]
  • Masquerain is a solid Sticky Web setter in Ubers with decent utility.
  • Tailwind allows Masquerain's teammates to outspeed Choice Scarf users like Koraidon and Miraidon, Booster Energy Flutter Mane, and Quark Drive-boosted Iron Bundle with Heavy-Duty Boots for a few turns, as these foes are not slowed down enough by Sticky Web.
  • Whirlwind phazes sweepers that may try to set up on Masquerain, especially Swords Dance + Flame Charge Koraidon, Calm Mind Miraidon, and Substitute + Bulk Up Great Tusk.
  • If opponents exploit Masquerain's passive nature by spamming switches to stall out Tailwind turns, U-turn lets it preserve momentum. Alternatively, Stun Spore cripples lead Pokemon like Iron Bundle, Chien-Pao, and Koraidon that try to stop Masquerain from setting up Sticky Web.
  • Tera Ghost can block Rapid Spin from Iron Treads and Great Tusk in a pinch.
  • It is essential to pair Masquerain with Pokemon that block entry hazard removal, such as Gholdengo, Annhilape, and Taunt users like Flutter Mane and Iron Bundle.
  • Masquerain fits only on hyper offense teams: having multiple strong teammates such as Koraidon, Miraidon, Chien-Pao, Great Tusk, and Iron Bundle is necessary to capitalize on Sticky Web.

as teammates i would also mention annihilape, fast annihilape specifically, because its a fast taunt mon that punishes defog and rapid spin alike with rage fist and bulk up and taunt and defiant. fast ape also outspeeds everything up to max speed gholdengo.

this is good, great job
1/2

Mention that Masquerain is used as a Sticky Web setter! I think replacing the overview on one set Pokemon with an inteo sentence goes a long way.
Also, it's spelled phaZe standing for pseudo-haze.

Content is good as expected, 2/2 after implementing corvere's changes.
