Pincurchin is purely a support Pokemon for Electric teams, being able to set Electric Terrain thanks to Electric Surge. This is huge for Electric teams, as it allows teammates such as Alolan Raichu to take advantage of its ability, Surge Surfer, while powering up the team's their Electric-type STAB attacks. Spikes and Toxic Spikes allow Pincurchin to weaken the opponent's team, allowing teammates such as Alolan Raichu and Zeraora to muscle through the foe's opponent's team more easily. Discharge allows Pincurchin to fish for paralysis while doing damage. Thunder Wave allows Pincurchin to slow down threats to the team, such as Kyurem-B and Cinderace. Memento is used to bring in teammates more easily to take advantage of Electric Terrain. Terrain Extender alongside Electric Surge allows Pincurchin to keep up Electric Terrain for eight turns. Pincurchin's EVs alongside a Bold nature allows it to be as bulky as possible to survive more hits. Pincurchin should be preserved throughout the match so Electric Terrain can be available for its teammates.

All of Pincurchin's teammates appreciate its ability to set Electric Terrain and cripple the opponent's team with Spikes and Toxic Spikes. Alolan Raichu in particular appreciates its support, as Surge Surfer allows it to double its Speed in Electric Terrain. Additionally, Pincurchin can safely bring in Alolan Raichu as well as Rotom-H with Memento, allowing them to easily set up Nasty Plot. Zeraora especially appreciates Electric Terrain, as it allows Choice Band-boosted Plasma Fists to hit extremely hard. Zeraora can also take on Dragon-types such as Dragapult and Hydreigon with Play Rough for Pincurchin. Galvantula can form a hazard-stacking core with Pincurchin, being able to set Sticky Web.

Need to talk about Discharge more, right now you basically only say "it fishes for paralysis" which is kind of ambiguous to a reader as to why Thunder Wave with a 100% chance to paralyze is slashed while Discharge with a measly 30% is always on the main set.

Let's see a usage tip on how to use Pincurchin as an Electric Terrain setter, when to bring it in, that kind of things.

Memento is also good for helping Rotom-C and Rotom-H set up.

"All grounded teammates appreciate the fact that it boosts the power of their Electric type STAB. "
Isn't this stated in the first line of the second paragraph?

"Pinchurin should be preserved through the match so it can through the game Electric Terrain can be up for its teammates."

Second paragraph's a bit short which is understandable since Pincurchin is a support Pokemon, but I would add Zeraora there since Electric Terrain makes its Plasma Fist very powerful and its coverage is useful in a lot of match ups.

Spikes and Toxic Spikes allow Pinchurin to weaken the opponent's team,(AC) allowing letting (changed this to avoid repetition of the verb "allow") teammates such as Alolan Raichu and Zeraora to muscle through the foe's team easier more easily. Discharge allows Pinchurin to fish for paralysis while doing damage. Thunder Wave allows Pinchurin to slow down threats to the team such as Kyurem-B and Cinderace. Memento allows Pinchurin is used (same thing, I'd prefer avoiding repeating the same structure) to bring in teammates easier more easily to abuse Electric terrain. Terrain Extender alongside Electric Surge allows it to keep up Electric Terrain for eight turn periods. Its EVs and Bold Nature allow it to be as bulky as possible allowing it to survive more hits. Pinchurin should be preserved through the match so Electric Terrain can be up for its teammates.

All of its teammates appreciate its ability to set Electric Terrain and cripple the opponent's team with Spikes and Toxic Spikes. Alolan Raichu,(RC) in particular,(RC) appreciates its Pincurchin's support,(AC) as Surge Surfer allows it to double its Speed in Electric Terrain. Additionally, Pinchurin can safely bring in Alolan Raichu and Rotom-H with Memento,(AC) allowing them to easily set up Nasty Plot, and for the former to then take full advantage of the terrain. Zeraora especially appreciates the terrain being set,(AC) as it allows Choice Band Plasma Fist to hit extremely hard; (ASC) and it Zeraora can also take on Dragon-types such as Dragapult and Hydreigon with Play Rough for Pincurchin. Galvantula can form a hazard-stacking setting core with Pinchurin being able to set up Sticky Web.
