[SET COMMENTS]
With Guts, Obstagoon is an excellent wallbreaker on Normal teams because it is able to reliably take on prominent walls like Toxapex, Mandibuzz, and Galarian Corsola. An above-average Speed tier means Obstagoon is also a useful attacker against offensive teams, being able to outspeed and OHKO threats such as Crawdaunt, Gallade, and Diggersby. Taunt enables Obstagoon to stallbreak defensive Pokemon by disabling their forms of recovery and prevents opposing entry hazards from going up, which Normal usually has trouble removing. Facade and Knock Off hit any non-resistant Pokemon hard after the Guts boost. Close Combat rounds off this set, allowing Obstagoon to have a better presence against Steel and Dark by nailing Ferrothorn, Tyranitar, and Bisharp. Flame Orb is used to activate Guts, also letting Obstagoon act as a status absorber.

All of Obstagoon's teammates naturally benefit from its presence, as it can absorb much-hated status with Guts. Wallbreakers like Choice Band Diggersby, Choice Specs Indeedee, and Heliolisk are able to weaken or beat defensive Pokemon like Hippowdon and Corviknight for Obstagoon, therefore taking pressure off it versus bulkier teams. Particularly, Diggersby can also set up Spikes to further increase Obstagoon's effectiveness, while Heliolisk can check most Water-types, notably Keldeo, with its coverage for the team. Choice Scarf users like Ditto and Braviary are excellent partners because they can revenge kill threats like Dragon Dance Kyurem-B and Keldeo, respectively. In return, Obstagoon deals with the likes of Toxapex and Aegislash for them. Lastly, Snorlax appreciates Obstagoon's capability to take on the aforementioned walls to sweep late-game with its Curse set.

In the first sentence, I would highlight how it's a good wallbreaker with Guts. Then, you can talk about stallbreaking with Taunt and how Guts are great for status absorbing against those defensive Pokemon.

For offensive Pokemon it outspeeds, run Mamoswine and Diggersby as examples over Excadrill and Dracovish, which are either under sand or Choice Scarfed.

Close Combat hits Bisharp.

Since Snorlax can run Darkest Lariat, I would just talk about how Obstagoon can disrupt defensive Pokemon that Snorlax can't really setup on like Toxapex, Corviknight, and Hippowdon.

-Optional, but perhaps have a small mention of Parting Shot and its pivoting capabilities.
-Have a greater importance of Heliolisk now, as an offensive check to Keldeo.
-Put Ditto and Braviary into their own separate bullets imo.
-Instead of using Dragapult and Hydreigon as Imposter examples, lets use Post-Home stuff like Dragon Dance Kyurem-B and Keldeo instead.

With Guts, Obstagoon is an excellent wallbreaker available for on Normal teams because it is able to reliably take on proeminent walls like Toxapex, Mandibuzz, and Galarian Corsola. An above-average Speed tier means Obstagoon is also an useful attacker against offensive teams, being able to outspeed and OHKO threats such as Crawdaunt, Gallade and Diggersby. Taunt is the this set's most important move, as it enables Obstagoon to stallbreak defensive Pokemon by disabling their forms of recovery. It should also be used to prevent opposing entry hazards from going up, since Normal usually has trouble removing them. Facade and Knock Off are Obstagoon's STAB moves, hitting any non-resistant Pokemon hard after the Guts boost. Close Combat rounds off the this set, allowing Obstagoon to have a better presence against Steel and Dark by nailing Ferrothorn, Tyranitar and Bisharp. Flame Orb is used to burn Obstagoon after a turn, thus activating the and activate Guts,(AC) boost and letting it act as a status absorber.

All of Obstagoon's teammates naturally benefit from its presence, as it can absorb much-hated status by virtue of its with Guts ability. Wallbreakers like Choice Band Diggersby, Choice Specs Indeedee and Heliolisk are able to soften weaken or beat defensive Pokemon like Hippowdon and Corviknight for Obstagoon, therefore taking pressure off of it versus bulkier teams. Particularly, Diggersby can also lay down set up Spikes to further increase Obstagoon's effectiveness, and while (optional, I'd prefer emphasizing the contrast) Heliolisk can check most Water-types,(AC) notably Keldeo,(AC) with its coverage,(RC) notably Keldeo,(RC) for the team. Choice Scarf users like Ditto and Braviary are excellent partners because they can revenge kill threats like Dragon Dance Kyurem-Black and Keldeo for Obstagoon, respectively. In return, Obstagoon deals with the likes of Toxapex and Aegislash for them. Lastly, Snorlax appreciates Obstagoon's capability to take on the aforementioned walls to sweep late-game with its Curse set.
