[SET COMMENTS]
Hydreigon possesses a niche as an extremely potent wallbreaker, as Nasty Plot distinguishes Hydreigon amongst fellow wallbreakers like Latios and Deoxys-S by threatening to OHKO RegenVest Swampert and Manaphy. Flash Cannon chunks Scream Tail attempting to switch into a Draco Meteor; Focus Blast provides a strong option that smacks Steel-types like Kingambit, Iron Treads, and Heatran; and Earth Power provides a weaker but more reliable option to hit those aforementioned Steel-types. With a Modest nature, Hydreigon threatens to OHKO non-Unaware Blissey after slight chip and guarantees the OHKO on the aforementioned RegenVest Swampert and Manaphy with Draco Meteor after a Nasty Plot. A Timid nature can be considered to outspeed Great Tusk and remove the risk of Jolly Ceruledge and Timid Archaludon winning the speed tie. Hydreigon's low Speed and lack of good defensive utility mean that faster threats like Chien-Pao, Zamazenta, and Scream Tail force it out, making teammates like Corviknight, RegenVest Manaphy, and Swampert good partners on balance teams; alternatively, Sticky Web support from Ribombee and Smeargle is much appreciated on hyper offense teams, (AC) preventing would-be revenge killers like Zamazenta and Barraskewda from outspeeding it, which invalidates their ability to revenge kill it. Other special wallbreakers like Volcarona, Deoxys-S, and Gengar appreciate Hydreigon's ability to break holes in a team's defensive core, allowing them to clean up later in the game. Fairy-types like Primarina and, to a lesser extent, Scream Tail can check Hydreigon with ease, so teammates that can threaten them like Hisuian Electrode, Ogerpon-C, and Ceruledge are greatly appreciated.

Hydreigon possesses a niche as an extremely potent wallbreaker thanks to its high base Special Attack and access to Dragon's Maw or Beads of Ruin. Nasty Plot allows Hydreigon to boost its damage output to extraordinary levels, OHKOing RegenVest Swampert and Manaphy after mild chip. with Draco Meteor at +2. +2 Dragon Maw Modest Draco ohkoes both mons Flash Cannon chunks Scream Tail attempting to switch into a Draco Meteor, Focus Blast provides a strong option that smacks Steel-types Pokemon like Kingambit, Iron Treads, Ting-Lu, and Heatran, while Earth Power provides a weaker but more reliable option to hit those aforementioned Steel-types. With Dragon's Maw, Hydreigon can perform disturbing feats like threatening to OHKO non-Unaware max HP most Blisseys run max def + max spdef and that doesnt get ohkoed so its important to specify max hp Blissey with Draco Meteor after a Nasty Plot. at +2. Beads of Ruin provides an alternative option that allows it to increase the damage output of Dark Pulse and the coverage move of choice. boosts the power of all of Hydreigon's moves at the cost of Draco Meteor being a bit weaker. Hydreigon's low Speed and lack of good defensive utility means that faster threats like Chien-Pao, Zamazenta-H, zama-h isn't real and regular zama also threatens it out and Scream Tail force it out, making teammates like Corviknight, RegenVest Manaphy, and Swampert good partners on balance teams, or Sticky Web support from Ribombee and Smeargle much-appreciated on hyper offense teams. Other special wallbreakers like Volcarona, Deoxys-S, and Gengar appreciate Hydreigon's ability to break down holes in a team's defensive core, allowing them to clean up later in the game. Physically oriented pivots like Barraskewda, Roaring Moon, and Slither Wing pair well with Hydreigon, allowing it to switch in safely on their switch-ins like Corviknight and Great Tusk to threaten to break a hole in the opposing team. mention that regenvest primarina walls hydreigon and give a couple counters to primarina

Hydreigon possesses a niche as an extremely potent wallbreaker. Nasty Plot allows Hydreigon to boost its damage output to extraordinary levels, OHKOing RegenVest Swampert and Manaphy after mild chip. If you're accounting for Timid only rolling, mention it or if for Beads mention it as well Flash Cannon chunks Scream Tail attempting to switch into a Draco Meteor, Focus Blast provides a strong option that smacks Steel-types like Kingambit, Iron Treads, and Heatran, while Earth Power provides a weaker but more reliable option to hit those aforementioned Steel-types. With Dragon's Maw, Hydreigon can perform disturbing feats like threatening to OHKO non-Unaware Blissey after slight chip with Draco Meteor after a Nasty Plot. Beads of Ruin provides an alternative option that allows it to increase the damage output of Dark Pulse and the coverage move of choice at cost of a weaker Draco Meteor. This is already implied and a bit obvious but I decided to be a bit safe for those interpreting this Hydreigon's low Speed and lack of good defensive utility means that faster threats like Chien-Pao, Zamazenta-H, and Scream Tail force it out, making teammates like Corviknight, RegenVest Manaphy, and Swampert good partners on balance teams, or Sticky Web support from Ribombee and Smeargle much-appreciated on hyper offense teams. Other special wallbreakers like Volcarona, Deoxys-S, and Gengar appreciate Hydreigon's ability to break down holes in a team's defensive core, allowing them to clean up later in the game. Could mention specifically faster cleaners with Hydreigon's lower speed, not sure if Gengar quite meets that criteria Physically oriented pivots like Barraskewda, Roaring Moon, and Slither Wing pair well with Hydreigon, allowing it to switch in safely on their switch-ins like Corviknight and Great Tusk to threaten to break a hole in the opposing team. Mention Primarina as a special case that needs more planning for as you're helpless, arguably STail also belongs in this category to a lesser extent but you do mention it before. Also add a note for how nature changes interactions.

QC 1/2

Notes for Gambit_Gamin
  • Try not to make subjective changes to the writers voice, QC focuses on making sure the information is correct foremost and lines only really require alterations if the information is really unclear, wrong or really missing something, changes like "After a Nasty Plot" and "at +2" aren't needed because they're practically the same and doesn't add anything and if you need to preferably try to keep the writers voice intact.

  • Ting-Lu doesn't require a mention for what FBlast hits despite being SE as DMaw out-damages it with DMaw and there isn't much of a difference with Beads, given Ting-Lu isn't much of a concern for strong Hydreigons and usually isn't a good check compared to resistant Steels.

  • Zama-H is very much real? Zama-Crowned is the one with no usage and may be what you what you confused it with so just a note for the future.

Hydreigon possesses a niche as an extremely potent wallbreaker. Nasty Plot allows Hydreigon to boost its damage output to extraordinary levels, threatening to OHKOing RegenVest Swampert and Manaphy. Combine these two into one sentence, makes it more fluent and shows what makes Hydrei different from say Latios (Nasty Plot) Flash Cannon chunks Scream Tail attempting to switch into a Draco Meteor, Focus Blast provides a strong option that smacks Steel-types like Kingambit, Iron Treads, and Heatran, while Earth Power provides a weaker but more reliable option to hit those aforementioned Steel-types. With Dragon's Maw and a Modest nature, Hydreigon can perform disturbing feats like threatening to OHKO non-Unaware Blissey after slight chip and guarantees the OHKO on the aforementioned RegenVest Swampert and Manaphy with Draco Meteor after a Nasty Plot and a Modest Nature. Beads of Ruin provides an alternative option that allows it to increase the damage output of Dark Pulse and the coverage move of choice at the cost of a weaker Draco Meteor Anything notable rolls to mention here?. A Timid nature can be considered to outspeed Great Tusk and removes the risk of Jolly Ceruledge and Timid Archaludon outspeeding it These aren't even outspeeding Modest, they tie atmost, and are overall quite irrelevant so just remove it. Hydreigon's low Speed and lack of good defensive utility means that faster threats like Chien-Pao, Zamazenta-H, and Scream Tail force it out, making teammates like Corviknight, RegenVest Manaphy, and Swampert good partners on balance teams, or Sticky Web support from Ribombee and Smeargle much-appreciated on hyper offense teams Would probably looke better if these are either separate sentences or if they're separated by a semicolon, that way you can shortly explain what web support does as well. Other special wallbreakers like Volcarona, Deoxys-S, and Gengar appreciate Hydreigon's ability to break down holes in a team's defensive core, allowing them to clean up later in the game. Physically oriented pivots like Barraskewda, Roaring Moon, and Slither Wing pair well with Hydreigon, allowing it to switch in safely on their switch-ins like Corviknight and Great Tusk to threaten to break a hole in the opposing team To be honest I don't think this info is too relevant, considering Hydrei prefers slow pivots far more + this is getting quite long so cutting. Fairy-types like Primarina and to a lesser extent Scream Tail can check Hydreigon with ease, so teammates who can threaten them like Hisuian Electrode, Ogerpon-C, and Ceruledge are greatly appreciated.

Hydreigon's low Speed and lack of good defensive utility means mean that faster threats like Chien-Pao, Zamazenta-H, if it's base forme zama you should just say the name w/o any hyphen and Scream Tail force it out, making teammates like Corviknight, RegenVest Manaphy, and Swampert good partners on balance teams; or alternatively, Sticky Web support from Ribombee and Smeargle is much appreciated much-appreciated on hyper offense teams, (AC) preventing would-be revenge killers like Zamazenta-H same here and Barraskewda from outspeeding it, invalidating which invalidates their ability to revenge kill it.
