[SET COMMENTS]
Piloswine is a bulky Stealth Rock setter which also acts as an offensive threat, capable of switching into a wide variety of physically offensive threats such as Drapion, Morpeko, Rhydon and Sneasel. Icicle Crash allows Piloswine to threaten Grass-types and Levitate users like Rotom-Mow, Claydol, and Vikavolt. Toxic allows it to cripple switch-ins to it's STAB attacks like Jellicent, Gastrodon, and Bewear. Ice Shard allows Piloswine to pick off faster threats like weakened Passimian, Virizion, and Decidueye. Stone Edge allows Piloswine kill Charizard in a possible switch-in which helps keep rocks in the field. 32 Defense EVs are used to avoid being OHKOed by Rillaboom's Wood Hammer.

Fighting-types like Passimian, Bewear, Gurdurr and Gallade can threat Piloswine, so teammates that can take them on, such as Vileplume, Aromatisse, Xatu and Silvally-Fairy, work well with Piloswine. The Water-types like Vaporeon They are also good Piloswine teanmate since they can beat fire types like Charizard, and you can keep Piloswine healthy throughout the game thanks to wish support. Fires-types like Salazzle, Charizard and Ninetales can help Piloswine to beat Grass-types threats like Rotom-Mow, Vileplume and Specs Virizion. Stealth Rock support is also greatly appreciated by wall and stall breakers like Swords Dance Drapion, Virizion, Alolan-Raichu, etc. Opposing Water-types can also be a threat to Piloswine, some teammates that can take them on, such as Grass-types like Virizion, Vileplume, Dhelmise, Rotom-Mow, Decidueye and Drampa. And a mention to Fight-types besides Virizion like Passimian, Scrafty, Bewear, Gallade and Gurdurr, all good Piloswine teanmates for beat Snorlax or opposing Piloswine.

Mmm, this second paragraph needs a ton of work.

- A recommendation: On paragraphs describing partners and purpose, keep it simple. Like you start the paragraph well mentioning fighting-types as a threat to it which is correct but then continuing the next part of the paragraph with that connotation is just confusing.

- This part: "However, Piloswine can also lure these Pokemon in and defeat with Earthquake and Icicle Crash, greatly benefitting Water-type users like Vaporeon, Jellicent and Gastrodon" Doing this doesnt do any favors to a reader, it is a very confusing following up. Keep it simple. Change the purpose of that paragraph to mention water types make for good partners for it since they can beat Fire-types like Charizard, which can pose a problem for Piloswine. In this place you can mention Vaporeon being an exceptional since it provides wish support so piloswine can remain healthy throughout the match.

- You mentioned fighting-type checks so thats great. Partners are definitely needed to beat water types is a great mention so keep that, can mention Drampa as a good partner.

- "Stealth Rock support is also greatly appreciated in wearing down Piloswine checks, so Xatu and Silvally-Fairy both work well." What does this mean exactly? Like it provides stealth rock to wear down switch-ins, but where xatu and silvally-fairy comes into play here? You can mention that good partners are mons that appreciate stealth rock support to break through stuff easier like Swords Dance Drapion, Virizion, Alolan-Raichu, etc. Give that paragraph some purpose.

- The finishing of the paragraph is very vague and just feel like something to get it out of the way. Can mention fighting-types as a good partner since the pokemon can invite snorlax, mention examples besides Virizion for variety like: Passimian, Scrafty, Bewear, all good partners.

- Mention Stone Edge as an point at the end of the next paragraph, it can demolish charizard on the switch-in or in case you need a trade to keep your rocks. Worth a mention imo.

We need to work on the quality of this analysis.
