[SET COMMENTS]
Nasty Plot Mesprit is a fearsome mid- or late-game sweeper thanks to the combination of Levitate and a somewhat high base 105 Special Attack stat. Its biggest perk is the ability to set up in front of most bulkier Pokémon. Mesprit can choose between Encore and Substitute as its setup tool; Substitute can be very good versus bulkier teams, as Mesprit can tank a hit from most of the passive mons such as Regirock and Lanturn if not being hit super effectively, obtaining a free turn to either set up Nasty Plot or fire off an attack. Encore helps to circumvent Mesprit's passivity and can take advantage of checks that need to set up or use status moves like Haze to wall Mesprit, like Articuno for the Haze case, and Dudunsparce for the set up. Psyshock is great to deal with specially defensive Pokémon such as Snorlax and Calm Mind users, like Dudunsparce. Draining Kiss allows Mesprit to outlast Dark-type checks such as Spiritomb and Sneasel while healing in the process, Thunderbolt allows it to hit Water- and Flying-types such as Cramorant and Clawitzer. Tera Fairy lets Mesprit set up in front of the aforementioned Dark-types, grants immunity to Dragon Tail from Dipplin, Appletun, and Dudunsparce, and increases the power of Draining Kiss, letting Mesprit restore more HP on the aforementioned threats and making it even harder to take down. Tera Steel improves Mesprit's defensive capabilities, making it take neutral damage from Dark- and Ghost-type attacks and giving it a Bug resistance, while only being weak to Fighting- and Fire-type moves due to Levitate. Tera Electric boosts the power of Thunderbolt and removes all of Mesprit's weaknesses.

Nasty Plot Sweeper Mesprit works well with specific entry hazard setters and Fighting-types. Hazard setters like Orthworm and Hisuian Qwilfish both cover each other's weaknesses and let Mesprit get rolls it wouldn't otherwise, such as KOing Honchkrow with Tera Fairy Draining Kiss after Stealth Rock chip damage. Fighting-types such as Scarf Passimian, Virizion, or Hitmonlee deserve a highlight, as when paired with Mesprit, they provide good coverage for it, pressuring Dark- and Steel-types with their STAB moves and Ghost-types with Knock Off. Each of them offers additional utility, with Virizion being bulky enough to enter in and provide wallbreaking prowess, Passimian having access to U-turn to let Mesprit in safely and Knock Off to offer utility, and Hitmonlee providing support with Knock Off and Rapid Spin. Secondary wallbreakers that don't rely on Setup to make progress such as Clawitzer and Magneton will also appreciate being by Mesprit's side. Some cleaners also enjoy Mesprit's ability to make progress so they can clean late-game, such as Dodrio and Hisuian Sneasel.

Substitute + NP Mesprit @ Leftovers Rename to Substitute + Nasty Plot @ Leftovers, NP is too informal
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP/ 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Substitute
- Nasty Plot
- Psychic Noise / Psyshock / Stored Power Higher BP at +2 compared to its other moves makes this a good shout
- Draining Kiss / Thunderbolt Optional remove - Tbolt is mainly for Bombirdier but usually SpD Bomb can whirlwind it away.

[SET COMMENTS]
Subs + NP Mesprit is a setup-sweeper Pokemon which applies immense pressure to the opposing team when in your party what does this mean; also this statement is super generic. Talk more about Mesprit's strengths here, like Levitate + good power. It can make significant progress in a variety of situations without requiring a substantial advantage or momentum to be effective by entering the field explain how it makes progress. It's biggest perk is the ability to Substitute in front of the most bulkier mons, which would try to statuse or lure it, such as Sandaconda, Qwilfish and Dudunsparce. Lots of Pokemon with Substitute can set up in front of these Pokemon; explain why it can set up Subsitute versus these defensive Pokemon. Also, detail the differences of why one might use Psychic Noise over Psyshock and vice versa. Also Stored Power is definitely worth a mention. Having access to moves such as Draining Kiss and Thunderbolt gives it great coverage against its most common checks, such as Bombirdier, Sneasel and dark types in general. Terastalization to Fairy is there to setup in front of some of those mons after using it. EVs are max speed and HP for a max overall bulk and speed together. Fluff
A good variety of Pokemon would like to be matched in a party with Subs+NP Mesprit: TWave spammers, Fighting and Poison types, as well as some specific hazard setters such as Orthworm and Bastiodon Bastiodon is not viable here. Mention more viable Stealth Rock/Spikes setters. Fighting Types such as Scarf Primeape unoptimal set, Scarf Passimian or Hitmonchan deserve a highlight, as when duoe'd with Mesprit, they provide good coverage to each other, making it harder for their related checks. Mention the additional utility they bring to the table

This still needs a lot of work before I can give a QC. Some of the teammates covered here are either generic (Thunder Wave spammers, hazard setters) or don't necessarily fit well with Mesprit's playstyle as a cleaner/mid-game breaker (Poison-types). There's some examples that also would require some more specification or is fluff. Implement these and ping me when you're done or if you have any questions on these comments.

Subs + NP Mesprit Substitute + Nasty Plot Mesprit is a setup-sweeper Pokemon which applies immense pressure to the opposing team when in your party, fluff with its combination of Levitate + a somewhat high base 105 SpA makes it a fearsome mid-to-late-game sweeper. It's biggest perk, as some other bulky setup sweepers is the ability to Substitute in front of the most bulkier mons, which would try to statuse or lure it, failing due to Mesprit's reasonable bulk to tank a hit from a not superefective and not strong STAB, from mons such as Sandaconda, Qwilfish and Dudunsparce. The psychic move is a choice based on both preference + team structure, fluff Psyshock is particularly better if the entire team is struggling against SpD bulky mons such as Snorlax and Calm Mind Users, on the other hand, Psychic Noise is particularly good against fat archetypes, which most of the mons need to be constantly recovering their HP somehow, and that way gets blocked by the move, leftovers included This is dex info, instead retool this part of the sentence to list Pokemon reliant on physically bulky Pokemon reliant on recovery moves like Dipplin and Palossand. Having access to Fairy-type coverage moves such as Draining Kiss and Dazzling Gleam gives it great support and win chance allows it to outlast against its most common checks, such as Bombirdier banned, name another relevant Dark-type (like Spiritomb), Sneasel and dark types in general. Terastalization to Fairy is there to setup in front of some of those mons after using it. It also prevents it from getting phazed by Dipplin's and Dudunsparce's Dragon Tail It does also increase some calcs allowing Mesprit to get some KOs it wouldn't otherwise, mainly with Dazzling Gleam in this aspect, but it does also increase the recovery income with Draining Kiss, as it boosts its BP from 50 to 60 other than the usual STAB buff if applicable, please name specific calculations where Dazzling Gleam is used over Draining Kiss. Otherwise remove Dazzling Gleam since Draining Kiss's recovery tends to be more important here.
A good variety of Pokemon would like to be matched in a party with Subs+NP Mesprit Substitute + Nasty Plot Mesprit: TWave spammers not really, Fighting and Poison types not really, as well as some specific hazard setters such as Orthworm and Qwilfish-H every Pokemon enjoys having hazard setters on its side; is there any reason why Mesprit specifically benefits from them? Are there damage calculations that are achieved on certain Pokemon after Stealth Rock/a layer of Spikes?. Fighting Types such as Scarf Primeape talked with QC and Scarf Primeape isn't very good; replace it with something else, Virizion or Hitmonchan deserve a highlight, as when duoe'd with Mesprit, they provide good coverage to each other what are their Fighting-type coverage being used against, and name examples, making it harder for their related checks and each of them offering an Special additional utility: Virizion is bulky enough to enter in Electrode-Hisui's Leaf Storms, Thunderbolts and Volt Switches, and being somewhat free to setup into it after that providing wallbreaking prowess. Passimian has a great movepool coverage and a big 120 base Atk stat not really; high Attack is nice but main point is to get Mesprit in safely with U-turn and provide utility with Knock Off. Hitmonchan has access to Rapid Spin as well as knock off can provide utility with Knock Off and Rapid Spin, and can be equiped with Assault Vest for a improved Bulk, or Life Orb, for better damage not relevant to analysis; remove. Mention secondary wallbreakers like Clawitzer or Magneton to keep up offensive pressure, and give examples cleaners that can use Mesprit's breaking prowess to sweep late-game.

For example:
4 SpA Mesprit Draining Kiss vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Sneasel: 96-114 (38.2 - 45.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO - no tera damage
4 SpA Tera Fairy Mesprit Draining Kiss (60 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Sneasel: 170-204 (67.7 - 81.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO - terastalized damage
4 SpA Mesprit Dazzling Gleam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Sneasel: 154-182 (61.3 - 72.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO - no tera damage

4 SpA Tera Fairy Mesprit Dazzling Gleam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Sneasel: 230-272 (91.6 - 108.3%) -- 50% chance to OHKO - terastalized damage
Delete, Dazzling Gleam doesn't seem to have any significant perks over Draining Kiss
A good variety of Pokemon would like to be matched in a party with Substitute +Nasty Plot Mesprit rephrase to say Mesprit enjoys being paired with: Mons with the ability to paralyze (making more breaches to Mesprit to setup) too generic, Fighting types, as well as some specific hazard setters such as Orthworm and Qwilfish-H, as they provide both coverage to each other's weaknesses and the hazards being up allow mesprit to get some calcs it wouldn't otherwise please specify what benchmarks after a layer of Spikes/Rocks Mesprit achieves here. Fighting Types such as Scarf Passimian, Virizion or Hitmonchan deserve a highlight, as when duoe'd paired with Mesprit, they provide good coverage to it, pressionating pressuring Dark-types and Steel-types with STAB and Ghost-Types with Knock Off or a neutral strong stab their STAB moves. Each of them offering a Special additional utility: Virizion is bulky enough to enter in Electrode-Hisui's Leaf Storms, Thunderbolts and Volt Switches, providing wallbreaking prowess. Passimian has access to U-turn to let mesprit in safely and Knock Off to offer utility. Hitmonchan can provide utility with Knock Off and Rapid Spin.

ready for QC 2, I do have some questions tho

should I change the set name from subs + np thing to just np sweeper and include encore as an alternative option to substitute? I think that's been more popular now and calc doesn't even have the SubsNP default set anymore lol, if I should, let me know before doing QC 2 and i'll do it I guess. Also didn't include grassy seed because it doesn't rly seem relevant anymore now that unburden is out of the board, let me know if I did that right or if I should include it anyway too. sorry for taking so long, i kinda of forgot haha.
 
i will pass this through to GP after one final look through when you implement this check since you have new important information i need to look at real quick after doing this QC

Nasty Plot Sweeper Mesprit is a setup-sweeper Pokemon, with its combination of Levitate + a somewhat high base 105 SpA makes it a fearsome mid-to-late-game sweeper (i marked out some words i want you to remove because it makes the sentence flow better).

Having access to Fairy coverage move Draining Kiss and allows it to outlast against its most common checks, such as Spiritomb, Sneasel and dark types in general, even healing while beating then. Terastalization to Fairy is there to setup in front of some of those mons after using it, and also allows Mesprit to negate Dragon Tails from Dipplin, Appletun and Dudunsparce. It does also increase some calcs allowing Mesprit to get some KOs it wouldn't otherwise (against who?), since it boosts Draining Kiss's base power from 50 to 60 and gives it STAB buff, that does also increase the healing income from the move, (a lot of this is common knowledge and not needed to explain) making Mesprit even harder to get down. (you need to mention a sentence about tera steel, thunderbolt, and tera electric)

A good variety of Pokemon would like to be matched in a party with Nasty Plot Sweeper Mesprit: Fighting types, as well as some specific hazard setters such as Orthworm and Qwilfish-H, as they provide both coverage to each other's weaknesses and the hazards being up allow Mesprit to get some calcs it wouldn't otherwise, such as KOing Sneasel after SR chip with Tera, for example (this seems like a bad example because non boots sneasel is banded sneasel, which is faster and ohkoes with knock off, find another example). Fighting Types such as Scarf Passimian, Virizion or Hitmonchan (use Hitmonlee instead, it's just better) deserve a highlight, as when paired with Mesprit, they provide good coverage to it, pressuring Dark-types and Steel-types with STAB and Ghost-Types with Knock Off or with their STAB moves.

Fighting Types Fighting-types such as Choice Scarf Passimian, Virizion, (AC) or and Hitmonlee deserve a highlight, as when paired with Mesprit, they provide good coverage to for it, pressuring Dark-types and Steel-types with their STAB moves and Ghost-Types Ghost-types with Knock Off or with their STAB moves. (fighting-types can't hit ghosts with fight stab) Each of them offering an Special additional utility: offers additional utility, with Virizion is being bulky enough to enter in and provide wallbreaking prowess, (AC) Passimian has having access to U-turn to let Mesprit in safely and Knock Off to offer utility, (AC) and Hitmonlee can provide providing utility with Knock Off and Rapid Spin. Secondary wallbreakers which that don't rely on Setup setup moves to make progress such as Clawitzer and Magneton will also appreciate being by Mesprit's side, such as Clawitzer and Magneton to keep up the offensive pressure, side. Some cleaners will also really enjoy Mesprit's prowess and progress made to ability to make progress so they can clean in the late game late-game, such as Dodrio and Sneasel-Hisui Hisuian Sneasel.
