Choice Band (Meowscarada) @ Choice Band
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant / Jolly Nature
- Flower Trick
- Knock Off
- Giga Impact
- Play Rough / Thunder Punch

[SET COMMENTS]
* Flower Trick is for non-Choice Band Dondozo, Gastrodon, and non-Weakness Policy Ting-Lu.
* Knock Off is for Espathra, Sableye, and Magnezone.
* Giga Impact is for non-Chilan Berry Volcarona and offensive Sylveon.
* Play Rough beats non-Counter Annihilape and Special Attack Booster Energy Walking Wake, while Thunder Punch beats Corviknight.
* Trick and Shadow Claw can be used for matchups against Bellibolt and Counter Annihilape but are generally not too reliable, as Bellibolt can 2HKO Meowscarada with Thunder after Trick, while Annihilape can use Rage Fist to beat Shadow Claw Meowscarada instead of Counter.
* Protean can force opponents to guess what move Meowscarada will use. For example, non-Choice Band Iron Hands has to choose between Close Combat and Wild Charge to beat either Flower Trick or Play Rough from Meowscarada. Choosing incorrectly, however, allows Meowscarada to 2HKO Iron Hands.
* An Adamant nature allows Meowscarada to have a better chance to beat more defensive Sylveon sets and Iron Defense Corviknight. A Timid nature allows Meowscarada to outspeed Iron Moth, Hisuian Zoroark, and non-Speed Booster Energy Walking Wake.

* Flower Trick is for non-Choice Band Dondozo, Gastrodon, and Ting-Lu. ting lu wins with wp payback, if you want to include this then fine but mention 50/50 playrough flowertrick somewhere, this also applies to non banded iron hands clicking cc / wild charge, also non speed booster non scarf tusk clicking headlong / cc id add a new bullet point for 50/50s with protean
* Knock Off is for Espathra,(ac) and Sableye,(ac) and Magnezone.
* Giga Impact is for non-Chilan Berry Volcarona and offensive Sylveon.
* Play Rough beats non-Counter Annihilape and Special Attack Booster Energy Walking Wake, while Thunder Punch beats Corviknight.
* Trick and Shadow Claw can be used for matchups against Bellibolt and Counter Annihilape, respectively, but are generally not too reliable, as Bellibolt can 2HKO Meowscarada with Thunder after Trick and Annihilape can use Rage Fist to beat Shadow Claw Meowscarada instead of Counter.
* Protean + Choice Band are preferred as they maximize Meowscarada's damage output. Protean also has the added benefit of defensive utility, as changing to a Fairy-type allows Meowscarada to survive Close Combat from Iron Hands. banded heavyslam wins + refer to my comment in the first bullet point
* An Adamant nature allows Meowscarada to have a better chance to beat more defensive Sylveon sets and Iron Defense Corviknight. A Timid nature allows Sylveon to outspeed Iron Moth, Hisuian Zoroark, and non-Speed Booster Energy Walking Wake.

I've tried to implement this QC so many times but got distracted and closed it out to the point where I memorized all the changes I needed to make.

This is ready for QC 2.
 
Hello, good job on the very nice words, only 1 minor thing and something else. 2/2 when done

* Protean + Choice Band are preferred as they maximize Meowscarada's damage output. I just don't see the point of this sentence tbh, though if you really want to keep it then keep it.Protean also has the added benefit of defensive utility, as changing to a Fairy-type allows Meowscarada to survive Close Combat from Iron Hands.
* Protean can also force opponents to guess what move Meowscarada will use. For example, non-Choice Band Iron Hands has to choose between Close Combat and Wild Charge to beat either Flower Trick or Play Rough from Meowscarada. Choosing incorrectly, however, allows Meowscarada to 2HKO Iron Hands. I would find a way to collapse this paragraph with the one before it as they serve the same purpose (Protean's niche and the MU vs. Iron Hands).
* An Adamant nature allows Meowscarada to have a better chance to beat more defensive Sylveon sets and Iron Defense Corviknight. A Timid nature allows Sylveon Meowscarada to outspeed Iron Moth, Hisuian Zoroark, and non-Speed Booster Energy Walking Wake.

* Trick and Shadow Claw can be used for matchups against Bellibolt and Counter Annihilape, respectively, but are generally not too reliable, as Bellibolt can 2HKO Meowscarada with Thunder after Trick, (AC) and Annihilape can use Rage Fist to beat Shadow Claw Meowscarada instead of Counter. (you could probably split this up into 2 sentences to avoid it running on too much with too many commas)
* Protean can also (since you haven't referred to it before) force opponents to guess what move Meowscarada will use. For example, non-Choice Band Iron Hands has to choose between Close Combat and Wild Charge to beat either Flower Trick or Play Rough from Meowscarada. Choosing incorrectly, however, allows Meowscarada to 2HKO Iron Hands.
