[SET COMMENTS]
Piloswine is a great tank that exerts offensive pressure while being very hard to take down itself. It makes a great Stealth Rock user thanks to its significant bulk and ability to threaten anti-entry hazard Pokemon like Hattrem, Natu, and Carkol. Icicle Crash and Icicle Spear are interchangeable Ice-type attacks that threaten Grass- and Flying-type Pokemon like Gloom, Roselia, and Togetic, although Icicle Crash is usually preferred for its consistent damage output. Ice Shard is weaker than these two, but imperative for its priority. It does considerable damage to faster Pokemon like Dartrix, Drakloak, and Fraxure, which lets Piloswine keep its offensive presence even if it gets worn down. Thick Fat provides extra resistances to Ice-type attacks from Alolan Vulpix and opposing Piloswine, as well as Fire-type attacks from Raboot, Vulpix, and Hattrem.

Piloswine can easily lose its defensive potential if hit by Knock Off from the likes of Galarian Linoone and Ferroseed. If choosing to stay in against these targets, make sure that either Piloswine can afford to trade hits with them or that chipping them down is essential to the team's win condition. Piloswine should avoid setting up Stealth Rock if the opponent's Hattrem is healthy, as it can prevent Stealth Rock; instead, Piloswine should attack it with Earthquake or switch into a wallbreaker like Haunter. Pokemon that resist Fighting like Hattrem, Clefairy, and Gloom can punish Machoke and Galarian Farfetch'd, which threaten Piloswine with Close Combat. The former two partners also have Healing Wish to bring Piloswine back up to full when it gets low on health, while Gloom specifically appreciates how Piloswine can lure in Hattrem and dent it with Earthquake.

Piloswine can take advantage of its almost completely unresisted dual STAB coverage to be a devastating wallbreaker with Choice Band. Earthquake can 2HKO common Pokemon like Machoke, Hattrem, and Ferroseed that might not expect the boosted damage and try and switch in. Icicle Crash hits defensive walls like Gloom and Vullaby hard, while also having a significant chance to flinch. Ice Shard always OHKOes Drakloak and offensive Roselia after Stealth Rock damage. Superpower hits opposing Piloswine and Ferroseed very hard, guaranteeing a 2HKO on the former. With full Speed investment, Piloswine can outspeed and revenge kill slower Eviolite users like Machoke and Hattrem once they have been weakened or lost their Eviolite. Piloswine's Speed also gives it an edge over other wallbreakers like Flame Orb Machoke and Swords Dance Dartrix, which are either slower than Piloswine or vulnerable to Ice Shard.

Piloswine cannot break most walls on its own, and relies on Knock Off support from Galarian Linoone and Ferroseed to debilitate bulkier Pokemon like Gurdurr and Galarian Corsola. On the other hand, if Piloswine loses its Choice Band due to opposing Knock Off users, it will lose its own wallbreaking potential. This should be avoided by having Knock Off switch-ins like Gloom and Galarian Corsola as partners. Stealth Rock users like Palpitoad and Galarian Corsola help provide chip damage on the opposing team so that faster threats like Haunter and Roselia are put in OHKO range of Ice Shard. Being Choice-locked into Earthquake and Ice Shard can make Piloswine susceptible to being revenge killed by Haunter and Machoke, respectively. Defensive pivots like Klang and Charjabug can help soften blows from these Pokemon while utilizing Volt Switch to help bring Pilsoswine back in safely; Sticky Web support from Charjabug is also a plus for Piloswine, as it allows Piloswine to outspeed threats such as Fraxure without having to rely on Ice Shard. Keeping the field clear for Piloswine with the help of anti-entry hazard Pokemon like Hattrem and Togetic helps it preserve its health for extended wallbreaking.

Piloswine is meant to tank most hits and use offensive Ground- and Ice-type STAB attacks to fire back. It makes a great Stealth Rock user for its significant bulk and by threatening entry hazard preventers and removers like Hattrem, Natu, and Vullaby. Icicle Crash and Icicle Spear are interchangeable Ice-type attacks that threaten Grass- and Flying-type Pokemon like Gloom, Roselia, and Togetic. Ice Shard might be weaker than these two, but is imperative for its priority. It does considerable damage to faster Pokemon like Rufflet, Drakloak, and Dragon Dance Fraxure, which lets Piloswine keep its offensive presence even if it gets worn down. Thick Fat provides extra resistances to Sneasel and the opposing Piloswine, as well as allowing it to tank Fire-type attacks from Raboot, and Vulpix and Hattrem (Thick Fat makes a big difference vs Mystical Fire).

Piloswine can easily be worn down, as it often may be hit by Knock Off from Linoone-Galar or Shadow Ball from Haunter when attempting to trade hits with these faster attackers. Make sure that either Piloswine can afford to trade hits with the target, or that chipping down the target is essential to the team's win condition. Pokemon that resist Fighting like Hattrem and Clefairy (You could mention how Gloom is also able to help a lot with its FIghting-type weakness but Hat stops Gloom from spreading status and using Sap. Piloswine often lures in Hattrem which tries to stop Stealth Rock and do around half of its HP with EQ) can punish Machoke and Gurdurr that would normally deter Piloswine with Close Combat, Drain Punch, or Defog away its Stealth Rock; they also have Healing Wish to bring Piloswine back up to full when it gets low. Piloswine should avoid setting up Stealth Rock if the opponent's Hattrem or Gurdurr are healthy, as these two can prevent or Defog away Stealth Rock, and rather should attack them with Earthquake or switch into a wallbreaker like Rufflet.

Piloswine can take advantage of its almost completely unresisted dual STAB attacks with Choice Band to be a devastating wallbreaker. Its Earthquake can 2HKO common tanks like Machoke and Ferroseed (Ferroseed is a wall, rather than a tank so consider slightly rephrasing this) that might not expect the boosted damage and try and switch in. Icicle Crash hits hard on walls like Gloom and Vullaby, while also having a significant chance to flinch. Ice Shard with the extra power from Choice Band guarantees that Rufflet and offensive Roselia will be 1HKOd after Stealth Rock. Superpower hits the opposing Piloswine and Ferroseed very hard, guarantying a 2HKO on the former. With a full 252 Speed EVs investment, Piloswine can outspeed and revenge kill the slower Eviolite walls Pokemon (again not walls, not sure if the term Pokemon fits best, or if threats or smth else fits better) like Machoke and Hattrem once they have been weakened or lost their Eviolite. Piloswine's Speed also gives it an edge against other wallbreakers like Flame Orb Machoke and Choice Band Rufflet, which are either slower than it or are vulnerable to Ice Shard.

Piloswine cannot break most walls on its own, and relies on Knock Off support from Linoon-Galar and Ferroseed to deblitate walls like Machoke and Corsola-Galar. Stealth Rock users like Palpitoad and Corsola-Galar help provide the chip damage so that faster threats like Haunter and Roselia are put in range of Ice Shard 1HKOing them. Being choice-locked into Earthquake and Ice Shard can make Piloswine susceptible to being revenge killed by Haunter and Machoke, respectively, and defensive pivots like Klang and Charjabug can help soften the blow. These two also have a slow Volt Switch that can help bring Pilsoswine in safely, as it lacks the Eviolite bulk that the previous set has.

Piloswine is meant to tank most hits and use offensive Ground- and Ice-type STAB attacks to fire back. <- i would reword this just because it sounds too much like it should be in the next paragraph, emphasis on defensive stats. It makes a great Stealth Rock user for its significant bulk and by threatening entry hazard preventers and removers like Hattrem, Natu, and Vullaby. i would change vull to carkol for the sake of diversity Icicle Crash and Icicle Spear are interchangeable Ice-type attacks that threaten Grass- and Flying-type Pokemon like Gloom, Roselia, and Togetic. Ice Shard might be weaker than these two, but is imperative for its priority. It does considerable damage to faster Pokemon like Rufflet, Drakloak, and Dragon Dance Fraxure fraxure only has one set and it is dd , which lets Piloswine keep its offensive presence even if it gets worn down. Thick Fat provides extra resistances to Sneasel and the opposing Piloswine, as well as allowing it to tank Fire-type attacks from Raboot, Vulpix, and Hattrem.

Piloswine can easily be worn down, as it often may be hit by Knock Off from Linoone-Galar or Shadow Ball from Haunter when attempting to trade hits with these faster attackers. this is very confusing, there are too many distracting facts in this sentence i would just focus on talking about knock off or just delete the sentence because it doesn't really add anything to your next one. Make sure that either Piloswine can afford to trade hits with the target, or that chipping down the target is essential to the team's win condition. Piloswine should avoid setting up Stealth Rock if the opponent's Hattrem or Gurdurr are healthy, as these two can prevent or Defog away Stealth Rock, and rather should attack them with Earthquake or switch into a wallbreaker like Rufflet.

Piloswine can take advantage of its almost completely unresisted dual STAB attacks with Choice Band to be a devastating wallbreaker. Its Earthquake can 2HKO common Pokemon like Machoke and Ferroseed add another mon that might not expect the boosted damage and try and switch in. Icicle Crash hits hard on walls they def do not wall cb like Gloom and Vullaby, while also having a significant chance to flinch. Ice Shard with the extra power from Choice Band guarantees that Rufflet and offensive Roselia will be 1HKOd after Stealth Rock. Superpower hits the opposing Piloswine and Ferroseed very hard, guarantying a 2HKO on the former. With a full 252 Speed EVs investment, Piloswine can outspeed and revenge kill the slower Eviolite users like Machoke and Hattrem once they have been weakened or lost their Eviolite. Piloswine's Speed also gives it an edge against other wallbreakers like Flame Orb Machoke and Choice Band Rufflet, which are either slower than it or are vulnerable to Ice Shard.

Piloswine cannot break most walls on its own, and relies on Knock Off support from Linoone-Galar and Ferroseed to deblitate bulkier Pokemon like Machoke your above paragraph talks a lot about how you can deal with machoke just by running a cb so you shouldn't need to have a paired knock off user to beat it and Corsola-Galar. Stealth Rock users like Palpitoad and Corsola-Galar help provide the chip damage so that faster threats like Haunter and Roselia are put in range of Ice Shard 1HKOing them. make a point that pilo needs to keep its item otherwise its not very good and pre much dead weight
Being choice-locked into Earthquake and Ice Shard can make Piloswine susceptible to being revenge killed by Haunter and Machoke different example, respectively, and defensive pivots like Klang and Charjabug can help soften the blow. These two also have a slow Volt Switch that can help bring Pilsoswine in safely, as it lacks the Eviolite bulk that the previous set can rely on. reword this to something like "Piloswine is sometimes wary of being choice-locked into moves such as Earthquake and Ice Shard as it can make it easier to revenge killed by Pokemon like Haunter or Gurdurr. Defensive pivots such as Klang and Charjabug should be paired along Piloswine as they can counter these threats. Both of them also provide momentum by utilising volt switch which can benefit Piloswine to be switched in.... blabla" and add webs from charjabug. other points i would throw in would be hazard removers and clerics
