  • Maushold is a niche pick that provides entry hazard removal and momentum to hyper offense teams thanks to its versatile signature move in Tidy Up and ability to either sweep a weakened team or wallbreak.
  • Maushold has several viable utility options. Encore limits defensive counterplay and opposing setup attempts, while Taunt prevents foes from using status moves, recovering health, and setting up entry hazards. Thunder Wave gives Maushold's teammates an easier time against the opposing team.
  • It can also choose from several excellent coverage moves. Beat Up grants it coverage against Ghost-types, which wall its main attack, and does not incur damage from Rocky Helmet. Bullet Seed helps against Great Tusk, doing heavy damage to it and bypassing its Rocky Helmet; it is also useful against Garganacl. On the other hand, Low Kick is useful against Steel- and Rock-types. You can tailor Maushold's moveset to what fits your team best.
  • Tera Fire provides Maushold with an immunity to burn, letting it set up on a common answer in Skeledirge. Furthermore, it gives Maushold an Ice resistance, making it less vulnerable to being revenge killed by Chien-Pao's Ice Shard, and a Fighting neutrality, allowing it to possibly survive previously super effective Fighting-type moves such as Great Tusk's Body Press and Koraidon's Collision Course.
  • On the other hand, Tera Normal boosts the power of Population Bomb, allowing Maushold to OHKO Great Tusk and Kingambit and 2HKO physically defensive Corviknight at +1. Another notable upside is that the residual damage of Rocky Helmet is reduced due to Population Bomb needing less hits to KO foes.
  • Tera Grass provides Maushold with a resistance to Ground and STAB on Bullet Seed, allowing it to bypass Rocky Helmet on Great Tusk, Slowking, and Toxapex. Despite this upside, it also gives Maushold an Ice weakness, allowing Chien-Pao to more easily revenge kill it with Ice Shard.
  • Great partners for Maushold are Pokemon that give it more longevity and easier entry, as it has poor bulk and is threatened by most attacks. Grimmsnarl offers screens support, while Koraidon and Miraidon can bring Maushold in with U-turn. In addition, Knock Off support from Great Tusk and Iron Treads helps Maushold by removing Great Tusk and Corviknight's Rocky Helmet, allowing for freer use of Population Bomb.
  • Other great partners are Pokemon that are either weak to entry hazards or appreciate the extra HP, since Maushold can relieve pressure and provide its teammates with easier setup opportunities. Pokemon such as Miraidon, Chien-Pao, Baxcalibur, and Chi-Yu appreciate hazards being cleared, allowing them to be more threatening in return. Moreover, offensive Pokemon also benefit from Maushold's breaking potential; in particular, Koraidon and Kingambit appreciate the removal of Great Tusk and Toxapex.

I think you oversold this Mon a little bit. I would talk about the downsides of using maus on preview (usually gets sacked to a threat, rocky helmet mons are very relevant, sometimes not even screens can let you live hits, etc)

add mirai and korai as teammates I think (korai enjoys tusk and possibly pex dying to maus while Mirai appreciates tidy up removing rocks mainly, removing rocks can let you (Mirai) survive some hits potentially)

1/2
 
go through this whole analysis with a spell checker. Normal words in English are misspelled to the point where I had to do a double take multiple times. You also need to make all of the words in the set lowercase and fix the errors there "evs/nature/item" not Evs/Nature/Item".


also use the new credits. the old ones are outdated atp.
 
Beat Up to prevent its inherent weakness to Rocky Helmet and granting it coverage against Ghost-Types
Click to expand...

Maybe reword this to focus on the Ghost-type part, since the damage Beat Up does against Rocky Helmet users is pretty bad even if you avoid the helmet chip.

similarly Bullet Seed helps against Rock Types and bypasses Rocky Helmet
Click to expand...

Theres only one rock type that is supereffectively hit by Bullet Seed, Garganacl. Rather, I would emphasize that Bullet Seed gives Maushold another way to break through Great Tusk in particular.

I also think its worth mentioning Knock Off on Great Tusk/Iron Treads as something that pairs well with Maushold, since you can lure in and remove an opposing Tusk's item, opening up Maushold's Population Bomb later.

QC 2/2

  • Maushold is a niche pick that helps with provides entry hazard removal and provides offensive momentum to hyper offensive teams. offense teams thanks to its versatile signature move in Tidy Up and ability to either sweep a weakened team or wallbreak.
  • The versatility of Tidy Up and the ability to sweep a weakened team or break holes is useful for offensive teams that want to keep pressure while clearing entry hazards. (merged first/second dot points; this point feels like it's repeating itself a bit)
  • This Pokemon also has desirable traits such as: Maushold has several viable utility options. Encore, which abuses limits defensive counterplay and opposing setup attempts, and while Taunt which prevents foes from using status moves, recovery moves recovering health, or and setting up entry hazards. As well as Thunder Wave that gives Maushold's teammates an easier time against the opposing team.
  • Additionally it It can has also choose from several excellent coverage moves. (full stop) such as; Beat Up grants it coverage against Ghost-Types Ghost-types, which wall its main attack, additionally it prevennts and does not incur damage from Rocky Helmet. (full stop) , similarly Bullet Seed helps against Great Tusk, doing heavy damage to it and bypassing its Rocky Helmet; (semicolon) on it, its it is also useful against Garganacl. On the other hand, Low Kick is useful for against Steel- and Rock-types. (i've tried to retain the structure you have going here, but it might be best to mention something about how maushold has a customisable moveset. just because that third moveslot has more moves listed than the amount of games i have in my ubers loss streak)
  • Maushold has poor bulk and its is threatened by common attacks, which can be overcome with screens support from Grimmsnarl allowing Maushold easier setup; despite this Maushold's overall poor bulk even behind a screen is not enough to resist super effective hits. Likewise pivot moves help in allowing it easier entry on the field and thus easier time setting up. (this can be merged into the teammates section)
  • Tera Fire provides Maushold with an immunity to burn, letting it set up on a common answer like in Skeledirge. Furthermore, it gains gives Maushold an Ice resistance, (add comma) reducing the capabilities of being revenged killed by making it less vulnerable to being revenge killed by Chien-Pao's Ice Shard, and a Fighting neutrality, (add comma) allowing it to possibly live survive a previously super effective Fighting-type move moves such as Great Tusk's Body Press or and Koraidon's Collision Course.
  • On the other hand, Tera Normal boosts the power of Population Bomb, allowing Maushold to OHKO Great Tusk and Kingambit at a +1 attack boost. Additionally it also 2HKOs and 2HKO physically defensive Corviknight at +1. with Tera. Another notable upside is, since it takes less hits to KO a Pokemon that the residual damage of Rocky Helmet is reduced due to Population Bomb needing less hits to KO foes. due to the need of less hits.
  • Tera Grass utility comes with a provides Maushold with a resistance to Ground-type attacks and providing you STAB for on Bullet Seed, allowing you it to bypass Rocky Helmets on Great Tusk, Slowking, (add comma) and Toxapex. Despite this upside, (add comma) it also gives Maushold an Ice weakness, allowing Chien-Pao to more easily revenge kill it with Ice Shard. now making it weak to Ice Shard from Chien-Pao allowing it to revenge kill you easier.
  • Great partners for Maushold are Pokemon that give Maushold it more longevity and easier entry, as it has poor bulk and is threatened by most attacks. , such as Grimmsnarl's offers screens support, while Koraidon and Miraidon can bring Maushold in with U-turn. or pivoting moves such as U-Turn from Koraidon or Miraidon. In addition, Knock Off support provided by from Great Tusk and Iron Treads Threads helps Maushold by removing Great Tusk's or and Corviknight's Rocky Helmet, allowing for freer use of Population Bomb to be used freely.
  • Other great partners are Pokemon that are either weak to entry hazards hazard damage or that appreciate the extra HP, since Maushold can relieve pressure to allow easier set up opportunity, and provide its teammates with easier setup opportunities. Pokemon such as Miraidon, Chien-Pao, Baxcalibur, (add comma) and Chi-Yu, (remove comma) appreciate the easier entry hazards being cleared, allowing them to be more threatening in return. Moreover, offensive Pokemon also benefit from Maushold but from its Maushold's breaking potential; in particular, such as, Koraidon and Kingambit appreciating appreciate the removal of Great Tusk and Toxapex. by Maushold.
