LC Pansear

[Merritt]

[OVERVIEW]
Pansear is almost completely outclassed by other Fire-types in LC such as Ponyta due to its mediocre stats, poor abilities, and unimpressive offensive movepool. However, Pansear is capable of running a serviceable Will-O-Wisp stalling set to take on and defeat many physical attackers in LC, though this is a rather slow strategy and quite vulnerable to many special attackers and opposing Fire-types. Generally, teams should use Ponyta for offensive Fire-type needs and burn spreading utility.

[SET]
name: Substitute + Will-O-Wisp
move 1: Recycle
move 2: Will-O-Wisp
move 3: Substitute
move 4: Flame Charge
item: Berry Juice
ability: Blaze
nature: Jolly
evs: 36 HP / 12 Atk / 212 Def / 212 SpD / 4 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
With this set, Pansear aims to burn foes and stall them out using a combination of Recycle, Berry Juice, and Substitute paired with Flame Charge to outspeed Pokemon like Diglett. However, this set is extremely vulnerable to opposing special attackers like Staryu and Pokemon like Ponyta that are immune to being burned. Ponyta is a far more effective choice for teams looking to cripple the opponent with burns.

only 2 things that seem changeable is calling this set effective in the overview. i would change effective to serviceable, or smthng w/ that effect. i think you might as well highlight pony is also just a better attacker if that's why they wanted to use pansear instead. probably only add this aspect to the overview.
QC: 1/2

[OVERVIEW]
Pansear is almost completely outclassed by other Fire-types in LC such as Ponyta due to its mediocre stats, poor abilities, and fairly shallow offensive movepool. However, Pansear is capable of running a serviceable Will-O-Wisp stalling set to take on and defeat many physical attackers in LC, though this is a rather slow strategy and quite vulnerable to many special attackers and opposing Fire-types. Generally, teams should use Ponyta for both offensive Fire-type needs or and burn spreader spreading utility.

[SET COMMENTS]
With this set, Pansear aims to burn the enemy team foes and stall them out using a combination of Recycle, Berry Juice, and Substitute,(RC) paired with Flame Charge to outspeed Pokemon like Diglett. However, this set is extremely vulnerable to opposing special attackers like Staryu and Pokemon like Ponyta who that are immune to being burned. Ponyta itself is a far more effective choice for teams looking to cripple the opponent using with burns.
