Pawmot carves out a niche in OU thanks to Revival Blessing. Double Shock is a very strong move, despite despite its single-use nature, but Thunder Punch is an alternative because of Iron Fist's added power and its ability to threaten Corviknight more reliably. Mach Punch gives Pawmot a form of speed control against offensive threats such as Kingambit, Greninja, and Roaring Moon. Ice Punch hits Ground-types such as Great Tusk, Garchomp, and Clodsire super effectively as well as threats that resist Pawmot's STAB moves like Dragapult and Dragonite. Revival Blessing supports Pawmot's teammates like Gholdengo and Iron Valiant that can check threats to Pawmot. Tera Electric allows Pawmot to repeatedly use Double Shock, allowing Pawmot to repeatedly hit bulky threats such as Slowking, Dondozo, Corviknight, and Skeledirge while shedding Pawmot's weakness to attacks from Iron Valiant, Hatterene, and Armarouge. Leppa Berry maximizes the use of Revival Blessing.

Pawmot's capabilities allow it to fare best on offensive teams that appreciate Revival Blessing bringing back frail threats. Pawmot's biggest challenges are Ground-types such as Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, Clodsire, and Garchomp; therefore, Pokemon that can check them such as Baxcalibur, Walking Wake, and Meowscarada are great teammates. Late-game cleaners such as Kingambit, Roaring Moon, Iron Valiant, and Iron Moth all appreciate Pawmot bringing them back into the game, allowing them another chance to run through the opposing team. Revival Blessing has great synergy with Kingambit in particular as it can be used to increase Kingambit's power from its teammates fainting. Pawmot also fits well on rain teams because of Revival Blessing bringing back teammates like Golduck, Floatzel, and Barraswekda after they have fainted from Wave Crash, allowing them to use it repeatedly to sweep again.

Pawmot is a good wallbreaker in OU and carves a niche thanks to Revival Blessing. Pawmot's real niche in OU is Revival Blessing, its not really a good wall breaker, I'd rephrase the sentence to emphasize that. Double Shock is Pawmot's primary STAB and hits hard but comes at the expense of Pawmot's Electric-typing. Thunder Punch is an alternative to Double Shock because Iron Fist's added power and being able to stay in on Corviknight and um allows Pawmot to be more successful. Mach Punch gives Pawmot a form of speed control against fast Pokemon offensive threats such as Kingambit, Greninja, Iron Treads, and Roaring Moon. Ice Punch hits Ground-types such as Great Tusk, Garchomp, and Clodsire super effectively as well as hitting threats that resists its STABs like Dragapult and Dragonite. Revival Blessing supports Pawmot's teammates, bringing back teammates like Dondozo, Gholdengo, and Iron Valiant that can check its threats. Tera Electric allows Pawmot to repeatedly use Double Shock, further denying bulky threats such as Slowking, Dondozo, and Corviknight Skeledirge, and it sheds its weakness to attacks from Iron Valiant, Hatterene, and Armarouge. Leppa Berry maximizes the use of Revival Blessing, supporting Pawmot's team further. Iron Fist is chosen over Volt Absorb since it maximizes the damage output of options such as Thunder Punch, Mach Punch, and Ice Punch.

Pawmot's offensive capabilities allow it to fair fare best on offensive teams as well as teams which appreciate Revival Blessing bringing back frail offensive threats. Pawmot's biggest challenges are bulky Ground-types such as Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, Clodsire, and Garchomp; therefore, Pokemon that can check its threats take advantage of them such as Orthworm, Baxcalibur, Walking Wake, and Meowscarada are great teammates. Knock Off users like Great Tusk, Meowscarada, and Iron Jugulis sever Pawmot's usability, so Knock Off absorbers like Breloom and Booster Energy Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon make for good partners. Status users such as Toxapex, Rotom-W, and Clodsire put Pawmot on a timer; therefore, teammates that can absorb status such as Gholdengo, Garganacl, and Iron Moth help Pawmot immensely. None of this is particularly true any more so for Pawmot than other mons. Late-game cleaners such as Kingambit, Roaring Moon, Hydreigon, Iron Valiant and Iron Moth all appreciate Pawmot bringing them back into the game, allowing them another chance to clean. Emphasize the synergy between Revival Blessing and Kingambit. Also add a sentence about Pawmot's place in rain structures and its ability to bring back Floatzel / Barraskewda which tend to die from Wave Crash recoil.

Pawmot's real niche in OU is Revival Blessing, its not really a good wall breaker, I'd rephrase the sentence to emphasize that. Double Shock is Pawmot's primary STAB and hits hard but comes at the expense of Pawmot's Electric-typing. (feel free to reword this if you want, but yea since the moves are slashed you want an explanation of all. the biggest things for me is how its kinda exploitable unless you tera too, so mention that) Thunder Punch is an alternative to Double Shock because Iron Fist's added power and being able to stay in on Corviknight and um allows Pawmot to be more successful. Mach Punch gives Pawmot a form of speed control against fast Pokemon offensive threats such as Kingambit, Greninja, Iron Treads, and Roaring Moon. Ice Punch hits Ground-types such as Great Tusk, Garchomp, and Clodsire super effectively as well as hitting threats that resists its STABs like Dragapult and Dragonite. Revival Blessing supports Pawmot's teammates, bringing back teammates like Dondozo (i doubt you'd see these n a team togetehr bc pawmot is more offensive), Gholdengo, and Iron Valiant that can check its threats. Tera Electric allows Pawmot to repeatedly use Double Shock, further denying bulky threats such as Slowking, Dondozo, and Corviknight Skeledirge, (i'd say either is fine here - yea corv is weak to elec but dirge is a bulky threat. with dirge you do have to be careful of wisp though) and it sheds its weakness to attacks from Iron Valiant, Hatterene, and Armarouge. Leppa Berry maximizes the use of Revival Blessing, supporting Pawmot's team further. Iron Fist is chosen over Volt Absorb since it (this isn't really needed, volt absorb doesn't really Do much in ou so specifying volt absorb (instead of say natural cure) isn't really relevant info) maximizes the damage output of options such as Thunder Punch, Mach Punch, and Ice Punch.

Pawmot's offensive capabilities allow it to fair fare best on offensive teams as well as teams which appreciate Revival Blessing bringing back frail offensive threats. Pawmot's biggest challenges are bulky Ground-types such as Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, Clodsire, and Garchomp; therefore, Pokemon that can check its threats take advantage of them (feel free to keep original) such as Orthworm (not anymore), Baxcalibur, Walking Wake, and Meowscarada are great teammates. Knock Off users like Great Tusk, Meowscarada, and Iron Jugulis sever Pawmot's usability, so Knock Off absorbers like Breloom and Booster Energy Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon make for good partners.

hamiltonion I liked this check a lot - the only real feedback I have is that QC =/= GP, so there's no need to make big grammar changes like rewriting sentences (unless they're straight up wrong). It's also better to make changes in comments instead of straight up rewrites, such as the way you added the Double Shock line, because it means the writer loses the ability to implement the check themselves and make their own decisions on how to phrase content. Same goes for removing examples with no reasons why.

Feel free to take a look over this QC guide thread too, and I'd love to see more checks from you!

Pawmot carves a niche in OU thanks to Revival Blessing. Double Shock is a very strong move, at the expense of only using it once when it’s on the field due to losing the Electric-type. Thunder Punch is an alternative to Double Shock because Iron Fist's added power and being able to stay in on Corviknight. Mach Punch gives Pawmot a form of speed control against offensive threats such as Kingambit, Greninja, and Roaring Moon. Ice Punch hits Ground-types such as Great Tusk, Garchomp, and Clodsire super effectively as well as hitting threats that resists its STABs like Dragapult and Dragonite. Revival Blessing supports Pawmot's teammates, bringing back teammates like Gholdengo and Iron Valiant that can check its threats.

Late-game cleaners such as Kingambit, Roaring Moon, Hydreigon, Iron Valiant and Iron Moth all appreciate Pawmot bringing them back into the game, allowing them another chance to clean Hydreigon isn't really a lategame cleaner; it's more of a wallbreaker. These others are fine, though, especially Gambit/Valiant/Moth. Revival Blessing has great syngery with Kingambit in particular as it can be used multiple times late in the game to have a chance to be powered up by its fallen teammates. Pawmot also fits well on Rain teams because of Revival Blessing bringing back teammates like Floatzel and Barraswekda after they have fainted from Wave Crash, allowing them to use it repeatedly. Add mention of Golduck somewhere here as well; it's on the OU VR now due to being run on rain pretty often, but Life Orb recoil isn't quite as severe as these two mons' Wave Crash recoil. Mentioning giving these Swift Swim sweepers another chance to sweep (i.e. letting Floatzel wallbreak for itself early-game so it can get revived and sweep late-game) should suffice. There's a lot of ways to word this, so I'll let you do it at your discretion.

This is QC 2/2 when everything's implemented!

I think the analysis thus far does a good job explaining Pawmot's niche, hence why most of my suggestions are more commentary than actual additions/removals. Once this is implemented, make sure to proofread this before having GP take a crack at this, as there are a few issues on that front. But content-wise, solid job!
