Piloswine is a great Stealth Rock user that relies on its great all-around bulk and noticeable strength to secure its entry hazard. Common entry hazard setters such as Garbodor, Sandaconda, and Galarian Stunfisk fear its coverage, while cleaners like Togedemaru and Silvally-Dark need Piloswine to be severely weakened to have a chance to break past it. Icicle Crash tends to be a consistent damage Ice-type attack and offers an opportunity to flinch slower walls like Clefairy and Ferroseed. While more niche, Icicle Spear compared to Icicle Crash is perfectly accurate and can break through Focus Sash Cursola. Ice Shard offers imperative priority when revenge killing vulnerable targets such as Flapple, Rotom-S, and Silvally-Dragon. Superpower over Icicle Crash is another consideration as it can hit Ice-types like Rotom-F, Abomasnow, and Arctovish when they attempt to check Piloswine. Toxic is another worthwhile Icicle Crash substitute for catching Pokemon like Wishiwashi and Rotom-F, but makes Piloswine more passive. The investment reflects Piloswine's role as a bulky attacker, allowing it to tank attacks from Rapidash and Togedemaru while OHKOing them in return.

Piloswine's great bulk and offensive attributes make it fit on both balance and offensive builds, as compressing these traits together makes for generally favorable match ups against other entry hazard settters such as Sandaconda and Galarian Stunfisk. Water-types like Silvally-Water, Quagsire, and Wishiwashi threaten Piloswine by tanking its hits and firing back with Water-type attacks; try having support from Grass- and Electric-types like Abomasnow, Ferroseed, Rotom-S, and Lanturn. Silvally-Water and Rotom-F are two Defoggers that pressure Piloswine, so instead of using Stealth Rock, try to attack them when they switch in or double into an offensive teammate like Gourgeist-S or Rapidash, respectfully. Special wallbreakers like Abomasnow and Toxicroak can easily remove Piloswine, so special walls like Clefairy and Flareon are appreciated. Even if Piloswine's health gets low, it can still be kept around as a priority user to check foes like Flapple and Unfezant; Wish and Healing Wish support from Clefairy and Indeedee-F may also bring it back into the game to check cleaners such as Silvally-Dark.

Piloswine is a great Stealth Rock user that relies on its great all-around bulk and noticeable strength to secure its entry hazard. Common entry hazard setters such as Garbodor, Sandaconda, Stunfisk-Galar, and Golurk fear its coverage, while sweepers like Togedemaru and Silvally-Dark need Piloswine to be severely weakened to have a chance to break past them. Icicle Crash and Icicle Spear can be chosen for different concerns; Icicle Crash tends to be more consistent with damage and offers an opportunity to flinch slower walls like Clefairy and Ferroseed, while Icicle Spear is perfectly accurate and can break through Focus Sash Cursola. Rework this section to say icicle spear can be used over crash for niche cases like cursola, but crash is def better overall Ice Shard offers imperative priority when revenge killing vulnerable targets such as Flapple, Rotom-Fan, and Silvally-Dragon. Toxic could be considered instead to punish switch-ins and Defog users such as Cofagrigus, Wishiwashi, Rotom-Frost, and Silvally-Water. (shard is imperative like you said earlier, and while tox is nice for these walls it should be mentioned after superpower, and afterwards you should reinforce why running this isn't the best idea unless extreme cases) Superpower is another consideration as it can hit Rotom-Frost and other Ice-types like Abomasnow and Arctovish when they attempt to check Piloswine. mention in here that superpower should be used over icicle crash and not eq or shard The investment reflects Piloswine's role as a bulky attacker, allowing it to tank attacks from Rapidash and Togedemaru while 1HKOing them in return.

Piloswine's typing is often a liability for its multiple weaknesses, and it relies on its team to support these shortcomings. i wouldn't say pilo is a "liability" since it rlly only has 4 actual weaknesses, just rephrase to sound less extreme Water-types like Silvally-Water, Quagsire, and Wishiwashi threaten Piloswine by tanking its hits and firing back with Multi Attack or Scald; try having support from Grass- and Electric-types like Abomasnow, Ferroseed, Rotom-Fan, and Lanturn. Silvally-Water along with Rotom-Frost are two Defog users that pressure Piloswine, so instead of using Stealth Rock, try to Toxic them when they switch in or double into an offensive teammate like Gourgiest-Small or Rapidash, respectfully. reword here since tox is deslashed, and even then silvally water def isn't taking an eq well Special wallbreakers like Abomasnow and Indeedee-F specs indeedee isn't doing /that/ much and eq is doing more back often target Piloswine, so special walls like Clefairy and Flareon are appreciated. Even if Piloswine's health gets low, it can still be kept around as a priority user to check Flapple and Unfezant; Wish and Healing Wish support from Clefairy and Indeedee-F may also bring it back into the game to check cleaners such as Silvally-Dark. Poison-types like Garbodor and Toxicroak help resist Fighting- and Grass-type coverage from Iron Defense Cofagrigus, Cotton Guard Dubwool, and Eldegoss, while Piloswine can help check Sandaconda and Rotom-Fan in return. garb doesn't beat either cofag or dubwool, i'd just remove this since it's not totally necessary but if you want to keep just reword better

Piloswine is a great Stealth Rock user that relies on its great all-around bulk and noticeable strength to secure its entry hazard. Common entry hazard setters such as Garbodor, Sandaconda, Stunfisk-Galar Galarian Stunfisk*, and Golurk not really common, would remove fear its coverage, while sweepers like Togedemaru not really a sweeper in the traditional sense of the word, maybe call these two "cleaners" instead and Silvally-Dark need Piloswine to be severely weakened to have a chance to break past it. Icicle Crash tends to be a consistent damage Ice-type attack, and offers an opportunity to flinch slower walls like Clefairy and Ferroseed. Ice Shard offers imperative priority when revenge killing vulnerable targets such as Flapple, Rotom-Fan Rotom-S*, and Silvally-Dragon. Superpower over Icicle Crash is another consideration as it can hit Ice-types like Rotom-Frost Rotom-F*, Abomasnow, and Arctovish when they attempt to check Piloswine. While more niche, Icicle Spear compared to Icicle Crash is perfectly accurate and can break through Focus Sash Cursola. Toxic is another worthwhile Icicle Crash substitute for catching Pokemon like Wishiwashi and Rotom-Frost Rotom-F*, but makes Piloswine more passive. The investment reflects Piloswine's role as a bulky attacker, allowing it to tank attacks from Rapidash and Togedemaru while 1HKOing OHKOing* them in return. this sentence is filler and can be removed unless you have something to say about why maximum HP is preferable to maximum Speed (does the HP investment let it avoid any 2HKO?)

Piloswine's typing makes it vulnerable to relevant offensive attacks, and it relies on its team to support these shortcomings. I'd replace this sentence with something about how you generally see Piloswine on offensive/balanced teams that appreciate it compressing offensive and defensive traits into one Pokemon Water-types like Silvally-Water, Quagsire, and Wishiwashi threaten Piloswine by tanking its hits and firing back with Multi Attack Multi-Attack* or Scald; try having support from Grass- and Electric-types like Abomasnow, Ferroseed, Rotom-Fan Rotom-S*, and Lanturn. Silvally-Water along with and Rotom-Frost Rotom-F* are two Defog users that pressure Piloswine, so instead of using Stealth Rock, try to attack them with Earthquake and Superpower Superpower isn't slashed, so it's probably preferable to just say "try to attack them" when they switch in or double into an offensive teammate like Gourgiest-Small Gourgeist-S* or Rapidash, respectfully. Special wallbreakers like Abomasnow and Toxicroak often target Piloswine I know what you mean here, but this almost reads like Toxicroak beats Piloswine in any one-on-one encounter. Rephrase to "Special wallbreakers like x and y can easily remove Piloswine", so special walls like Clefairy and Flareon are appreciated. Even if Piloswine's health gets low, it can still be kept around as a priority user to check Flapple and Unfezant; Wish and Healing Wish support from Clefairy and Indeedee-F may also bring it back into the game to check cleaners such as Silvally-Dark.

Piloswine is a great Stealth Rock user that relies on its great all-around bulk and noticeable strength to secure its entry hazard. Common entry hazard setters such as Garbodor, Sandaconda, and Galarian Stunfisk fear its coverage, while cleaners like Togedemaru and Silvally-Dark need Piloswine to be severely weakened to have a chance to break past it. Icicle Crash tends to be a consistent damage Ice-type attack (RC) and offers an opportunity to flinch slower walls like Clefairy and Ferroseed. Ice Shard offers imperative priority when revenge killing vulnerable targets such as Flapple, Rotom-S, and Silvally-Dragon. While more niche, Icicle Spear can be used over Icicle Crash for its accuracy and ability to break through Focus Sash Cursola. (moving here because of the next sentence's phrasing) Superpower over Icicle Crash is another consideration,(AC) as it can hit Ice-types like Rotom-F, Abomasnow, and Arctovish when they attempt to check Piloswine. While more niche, Icicle Spear compared to Icicle Crash is perfectly accurate and can break through Focus Sash Cursola. Toxic is another worthwhile Icicle Crash substitute for catching Pokemon like Wishiwashi and Rotom-F, but it makes Piloswine more passive. The investment reflects Piloswine's role as a bulky attacker, allowing it to tank attacks from Rapidash and Togedemaru while OHKOing them in return.

Piloswine's great bulk and offensive attributes makes make it fit on both balance and offensive builds, as compressing these traits together makes for generally favorable matchups(spacing, also this is a really vague statement that needs clarification. favorable matchups against what? other common leads? hazard removers/setters?). Water-types like Silvally-Water, Quagsire, and Wishiwashi threaten Piloswine by tanking its hits and firing back with Multi-Attack or Scald Water-type attacks (more Wishiwashi are running Liquidation now, so generalizing this is better); try having support from Grass- and Electric-types like Abomasnow, Ferroseed, Rotom-S, and Lanturn. Silvally-Water and Rotom-F are two Defog users Defoggers that pressure Piloswine, so instead of using Stealth Rock, try to attack them when they switch in or double switch into an offensive teammate like Gourgiest-S Gourgeist-S or Rapidash, respectfully. Special wallbreakers like Abomasnow and Toxicroak can easily remove Piloswine, so special walls like Clefairy and Flareon are appreciated. Even if Piloswine's health gets low, it can still be kept around as a priority user to check foes like (there are other foes Ice Shard can pick off) Flapple and Unfezant; Wish and Healing Wish support from Clefairy and Indeedee-F may also bring it back into the game to check cleaners such as Silvally-Dark.
