- Sacred Sword
- Giga Impact / Knock Off

[SET COMMENTS]
Kartana functions as a deadly wallbreaker, capable of devastating defensive cores such as Gliscor, Toxapex and Ferrothorn by virtue of its incredibly high Attack stat as well as access to Swords Dance, further augmenting its attack stat to new heights. Furthermore, its Speed enables it to outspeed pokemon such as Garchomp, allowing Kartana to revenge kill them at +2. Sacred Sword hits steel types such as Melmetal, Ferrothorn and Kingambit, securing a 2HKO on Melmetal at +2. Moreover, +2 Breakneck Blitz can be used in order to OHKO defensive pivots such as Zapdos and Moltres as well as other defensive mons such as Mega Venusaur. Knock Off allows Kartana to hit bulky Ghost-types such as Pecharunt and Gholdengo hard, enabling it to secure OHKOs on both at +2. Alternatively, +2 All-Out Pummeling lets it pick up OHKOs on other defensive pivots such as Corviknight and Skarmory after Stealth Rock.

Kartana fits best on balance and bulky offense teams where it functions as a strong wallbreaker, capable of ravaging stall and bulkier teams. Pokemon such as Gholdengo and Zamazenta make for excellent teammates offensively as they benefit from Kartana's ability to break through special walls and physical walls such as Ting-Lu and Toxapex respectively. In return, Gholdengo aids Kartana by breaking through physical walls Kartana may struggle with such as Corviknight and Skarmory while Zamazenta threatens most bulky Steel-types such as Melmetal. However, Kartana's poor special bulk leaves it weak to almost every special attacker in the format such as Raging Bolt, Mega Diancie and Mega Latios while its typing leaves it vulnerable to Fighting-types such as Zamazenta and Mega Lopunny as well as Fire-types such as Cinderace and Iron Moth. Hence Kartana appreciates Pokemon such as Ting-Lu and Gliscor that can sponge most special hits with ease. Pecharunt, Toxapex and Galarian Slowking make for excellent teammates by virtue of checking most Pokemon that Kartana may struggle with or face the threat of being revenge killed by such as Fighting-types like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R or Mega Lopunny as well as special attackers like Iron Valiant and Iron Moth. Moreover Galarian Slowking is capable of checking offensive structures comprising of Tapu Koko and special Iron Valiant variants that may trouble Kartana while also providing valuable Future Sight support, aiding Kartana in wallbreaking and acting as a strong defensive pivot.

[SET COMMENTS]
Despite Kartana's Speed being nothing short of average, access to a Choice Scarf allows Kartana to outspeed most threats and gain momentum with Beast Boost after a KO, enabling it to act as a strong revenge killer and late game sweeper. Knock Off enables Kartana to 2HKO bulky Ghost-types such as Gholdengo after some chip damage from entry hazards whereas Sacred Sword allows Kartana to hit Steel-types such as Melmetal. Defog can be used over Smart Strike in order to remove hazards.

Choice Scarf Kartana fits best on balance and bulky offense teams, where its teammates appreciate it's ability to revenge kill Pokemon such as Mega Diancie, Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon. However, due to Kartana's poor STAB combination and coverage, it effectively becomes a highly exploitable Choice-locked Pokemon that many foes can freely set up on such as Dragonite, Roaring Moon and Volcarona. As a result Kartana appreciates having teammates in Ting-Lu, Toxapex and Zapdos, all of whom are able to check most of the aformentioned threats. Kartana's poor special bulk leaves it weak to a majority of the formats special attackers such as Mega Latios and Mega Charizard Y, both of which Kartana is unable to KO without significant chip damage or if it's locked into the wrong move. Moreover, its typing leaves it weak to Fire and Fighting-types such as Zamazenta or Cinderace. Hence, Kartana appreciates teammates such as Pecharunt, Moltres and Heatran to switch into its numerous threats.

Kartana functions as a deadly wall breaker, capable of devastating defensive cores such as Gliscor, Toxapex and Ferrothorn or other balance structures. Kartana particularly excels at breaking fat and stall teams by virtue of its incrediblely high attack stat asw as well as access to swords dance, further augmenting its attack stat to new heights also mention how it’s good speed stat allows it to get the jump on Pokemon like Garchomp and such. Kartana's ability, Beast Boost, also enables Kartana to boost its attack stat upon every KO filler, also specifically mention how it gives Kartana snowball potential further elevating Kartana's wall breaking capabilities. Move to 2nd Paragraph -> [Pokemon such as Gholdengo and Zamazenta benefit from Kartana's ability to break through special walls and physical walls such as Clodsire and Toxapex respectively. In return, Gholdengo aids Kartana by breaking through physical walls kart may struggle with such as idbp Corviknight / and Skarmory while Banded Zamazenta is capable of securing OHKOs on most bulky steels such as Melmetal thanks to Close Combat after rocks. Kartana fits best on balance or bulky offense teams] <- Move to 2nd Paragraph and thanks to it's sky high base attack stat, Kartana is able to 2HKO most bulky waters such as Alomomola with Leaf Blade don’t need to mention obvious STAB Moves while taking advantage of its coverage moves such as Sacred Sword and Knock Off that enables it to hit pokemon like Melmetal and Pecharunt who take minimal damage from Kartana's stabs picking up 2HKOs on both at +2. Moreover a +2 Z Giga Impact can OHKO defensive pivots such as Zapdos, Moltres and other defensive mons such as Galar Weezing lowk too niche in Natdex to be worth a mention, name something like Mega Venusaur or Clefable. Alternatively, +2 Fightinium-Z let's it pick up OHKOS on other defensive pivots such as Corviknight after Stealth Rocks. Knock Off is commonly paired with Fightinium-Z in order to hit opposing Gholdengo super effectively, picking up ohkos on bulky Gholdengo variants at +2. Seperate Sacred Sword, Knock Off, Giga Impact + Normalium Z, and Fightnium Z into their own sentences, and say what they do individually. Also make sure that they are in the order listed on the set.

However, reminder to move all the stuff needed to go in 2nd paragraph into 2nd paragraph Kartana's poor special bulk and 109 base speed leave it open to being revenge killed by mons such as Mega Diancie and Raging Bolt implies that Raging Bolt can outspeed Kartana, which is not the case, name something like Mega Lopunny or move the Ogerpon-W mention here among special attackers whereas most Ogerpon Wellspring Ogerpon-W variants are able to revenge kill it via Superpower. It's poor special bulk leave it weak to almost every special attacker in the format such as Raging Bolt name like 2 more examples while it's typing leaves it weak to fighting types such as Zamazenta and fire types such as Cinderace again, name like 1 more example. Hence mons like Ting lu, Pecharunt, Tapu Fini, Gliscor, Toxapex and Mega Venusaur make for excellent teammates idk how to say this but mention the checks next to like the problem that they solve, for example mention Toxapex and Ting-Lu next to the part where you mention that Kartana is weak to special attackers, Mention Pecharunt and Mvenu next to the part where you mention that Kartana is weak to Fighting-types, etc. by virtue of checking most mons Kartana may struggle with or faces the threat of being revenge killed by such as fighting types like Zamazenta and special attackers like Iron Valiant and Mega Diancie. you already mention these Pokemon Ting lu and Toxapex in particular are useful allies for kartana by virtue of being able to sponge most special attacks with ease from a variety of Pokemon Kartana may struggle vs such as Iron Moth and Tornadus Therian while in Toxapex's case, is also capable of checking Iron Valiant, Zamazenta and Cinderace and Mega Diancie. again, you already mention these Pokemon Moreover Mega Venusaur is able to check offensive Structures consisting of Iron Valiant replace to something like Melmetal and Tapu Koko while also checking Ogerpon Wellspring and Ironpress Zamazenta for Kartana.

Despite Kartana's speed being nothing short of average, access to scarf allows Kartana to act as a strong revenge killer, enabling it to out speed most threats and gain momentum with beast boost after a KO, enabling it to function as a late game sweeper. Mention what Knock Off, Sacred Sword, Smart Strike, and Defog does Scarf enables Kartana to successfully revenge kill threats such as Mega Diance, Iron Valiant, booster Ival still outspeeds you and Roaring moon asw as well as opposing scarfed pokemon such as Urshifu and Tapu Lele. Don’t really need to mention Scarf as that’s the whole point of the set, also move the specific Pokemon to the 1st sentence. Move to 2nd Paragraph -> [Scarf Kartana fits best on Balance / and Bulky Offense teams, where it's teammates appreciate Kartana's ability to revenge kill such mons such as Mega Diance, Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon who may pose a threat to the defensive backbone of such teams.] <- Move to 2nd Paragraph

However, due to Kartana's poor stab combo and coverage, Kartana effectively becomes a highly exploitable choice locked mon that many opposing mons can freely setup on such as Mega Scizor, Dragonite, Roaring Moon, Volcarona and Gholdengo. Too many mentions, trim down to like 3 mons at the least Hence a strong defensive backbone is appreciated by carrying some of the weight. As a result Kartana appreciates having teammates in Ting Lu, Toxapex, Corviknight, Skarmory, Zapdos and Moltres, again, trim down to 3 mons, all of whom are able to check most mons that turn choice locked Kartana into an exploitable pokemon on whom setting up becomes almost free. also mention all of the other weaknesses of Kartana that you mentioned in the other analysis (frail, weak to special attacks, weak to fighting and fire-types, etc.)

Not gonna give this QC 1/2 yet, ping me once you add all this so I can recheck it.

Furthermore, it's speed enables Kartana to outspeed pokemon such as Garchomp, allowing Kartana to revenge kill such mons at +2. Kartana's ability, Beast Boost, enables Kartana to snowball throughout the battle, further elevating Kartana's wall breaking capabilities. Kartana takes advantage of its coverage moves honestly filler such as Sacred Sword enabling it to hit steel-types pokemon like Melmetal name ferro and Kingambit, as they also give Kartana crazy trouble without sacred sword , securing a 2HKO on Melmetal at +2. Moreover, access to Knock Off allows Kartana to hit bulky ghost types such as Pecharunt and Gholdengo hard, enabling it to secure OHKOs on both at +2. <- switch these sentences in order to be in the same order as the set -> +2 Z Giga Impact can be used in order to OHKO defensive pivots such as Zapdos, Moltres and other defensive mons such as Mega Venusaur. Alternatively, +2 Fightinium-Z let's it pick up OHKOS on other defensive pivots such as Corviknight name 1-2 more examples after Stealth Rocks.

Kartana fits best on balance or bulky offense teams what does kart do for these teams? .

However, Kartana's poor special bulk and 109 base speed comparatively average leave it open to being revenge killed by mons such as Mega Diancie and Mega Latios among special attackers whereas most Ogerpon-W variants are able to revenge kill it via Superpower. you mention this exact problem in the next sentence, so maybe merge the idea of getting easily revenge killed into the next few sentences It's poor special bulk leave it weak to almost every special attacker in the format such as Raging Bolt name like 1-2 more examples while it's typing leave it weak to fighting types such as Zamazenta again, name 1-2 more examples and fire types such as Cinderace.
