[SET COMMENTS]
With Heavy-Duty Boots, Meowscarada becomes a flexible offensive pivot capable of pressuring the opponent thanks to its high Speed and Protean-boosted U-turn grabbing momentum for its teammates. Knock Off's high power and item removal make it an excellent move for making progress against foes such as Volcarona, Dragonite, Corviknight, and Toxapex. Flower Trick hits common Pokemon such as Great Tusk, Dondozo, and Rotom-W for super effective damage, and its ability to always score a critical hit is very helpful against Defense-boosting foes. U-turn gives super effective coverage against Hydriegon and Roaring Moon, which resist the combination of Knock Off and Flower Trick. Finally, Sucker Punch is a great option to pick off weakened faster foes such as Dragapult, Choice Scarf Gholdengo, and Speed Booster Energy users such as Iron Moth. Alternatively, Taunt is great for shutting down support Pokemon such as Toxapex, Tera Fairy Garganacl, and Scream Tail. Tera Dark allows Meowscarada to always OHKO Gholdengo with Knock Off and gives it a chance to OHKO it with Sucker Punch while also removing Meowscarada's Ice weakness against Baxcalibur. Tera Grass allows Meowscarada's Flower Trick to always 2HKO Garganacl and gives it a chance to OHKO offensive Great Tusk.

Pivot Meowscarada fits on a variety of offensive and balance teams looking for a flexible Pokemon that can both exert pressure on the opponent and grab momentum. Since Meowscarada forces a lot of switches and is adept at wearing down foes with U-turn, entry hazard support from the likes of Great Tusk, Glimmora, and Ting-Lu is greatly appreciated. Meowscarada's ability to remove Heavy-Duty Boots through Knock Off makes it excellent for accentuating hazard damage. Gholdengo is a good partner, as it helps keep entry hazards on the field and can threaten Pokemon that force Meowscarada out, such as Breloom and Amoonguss. In return, Meowscarda threatens Ting-Lu and weakened Greak Tusk, which Gholdengo greatly appreciates. Meowscarada's U-turn support pairs well with powerful wallbreakers such as Choice Band Baxcalibur and Choice Specs Dragapult by giving them free entry onto the field. Meowscarada's Knock Off also cripples Corviknight for these two Pokemon. In return, these wallbreakers threaten Pokemon that Meowscarada lures in, such as Amoonguss and Dragonite. Late-game cleaners such as Booster Energy Iron Valiant, Dragon Dance Dragonite, and Kingambit are great partners that can help finish off a team that Meowscarda has worn down. All of the aforementioned offensive teammates appreciate Meowscarada pressuring their checks like Dondozo, Garganacl, and Rotom-W.

With Heavy-Duty Boots, Meowscarada becomes a flexible offensive pivot capable of both pressuring the opponent thanks to Protean giving the first move it uses a STAB boost, as well as grabbing momentum for teammates. Knock Off's high power and item removal makes it an excellent move for making progress mention targets that Knock Off is esp good against such as HDB and Leftovers users. Flower Trick hits common Pokemon such as Great Tusk, Dondozo, and Rotom-W, and its ability to always crit is very helpful against Defense-boosting foes. U-turn enables Meowscarada to gain momentum against foes it threatens, such as Ting-Lu and Rotom-W. Finally, Sucker Punch is a great option to pick off weakened faster foes such as Dragapult, Choice Scarf users such as Gholdengo Gholdengo is rlly the only common scarfed mon Meow threatens with Sucker Punch, and Speed-boosting Booster Energy users such as Iron Moth. Alternatively, Taunt is great for shutting down support Pokemon such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, and Scream Tail. Heavy-Duty Boots lets Meowscarda ignore hazards, which is crucial for a pivot that will switch in often. Tera Dark allows Meowscarada to always OHKO Gholdengo with Knock Off and gives it a chance to OHKO with Sucker Punch. Tera Grass allows Meowscarada to always 2HKO Garganacl and gives it a chance to OHKO offensive Great Tusk.

Meowscarada's Knock Off can also help remove Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers from opponents to accentuate hazard damage. I'd remove this sentence since you will be stating this in the 1st paragraph Gholdengo is a good partner as it helps keep entry hazards on the field and can threaten Pokemon that force Meowscarada out, such as Breloom and Amoonguss. In return, Meowscarda threatens Ting-Lu and weakened Greak Tusk, which Gholdengo greatly appreciates. Meowscarada's U-Turn support pairs well with powerful wallbreakers such as Choice Band Baxcalibur and Choice Specs Dragapult by giving them free entry onto the field elaborate further on this what Pokemon can Meow bring them in with U-turn?. Late game cleaners such as Booster Energy Iron Valiant, Dragon Dance Dragonite, and Kingambit are great partners that can help finish off a team that Meowscarda wore down mention as well what walls Meow wears down for these cleaners to exploit.

With Heavy-Duty Boots, Meowscarada becomes a flexible offensive pivot capable of both pressuring the opponent thanks to (also mention its high speed here, one of the few reasons it's a good offensive pivot) Protean giving the first move it uses a STAB boost, as well as grabbing momentum for teammates. (knock and ftrick are already stab moves from your base typing, protean is only relevant with u-turn. instead, combine these 2 phrases together to something like 'protean-boosted u-turn to grab momentum for its teammates') Knock Off's high power and item removal makes it an excellent move for making progress. Knock Off is especially helpful against Heavy-Duty Boots users such as Volcarona and Dragonite as well as Leftovers users such as Toxapex. (combine these 2 together and just mention how you cripple mons like abc instead of listing what item they run, cause you also remove things like rocky helmet from corv and amoong, 2 mons that will switch into meow, which lets u uturn more freely without getting chipped down) Flower Trick hits common Pokemon such as Great Tusk, Dondozo, and Rotom-W, and its ability to always crit is very helpful against Defense-boosting foes (such as?). U-turn enables Meowscarada to gain momentum against foes it threatens, such as Ting-Lu and Rotom-W. (already combined with first sentence. instead, mention how uturn gives you super effective coverage against hydrei and rmoon, which resists dark+grass) Finally, Sucker Punch is a great option to pick off weakened faster foes such as Dragapult, Choice Scarf Gholdengo, and Speed-boosting Booster Energy users such as Iron Moth. Alternatively, Taunt is great for shutting down support Pokemon such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, (will just sludge bomb u and they wont click spore on a grass type, just change to like tera fairy garg or dirge) and Scream Tail. (also mention it prevents setup from threats like kingambit and dnite that would otherwise use u as fodder) Heavy-Duty Boots lets Meowscarda ignore hazards, which is crucial for a pivot that will switch in often. (fluff + covered in the first sentence) Tera Dark allows Meowscarada to always OHKO Gholdengo with Knock Off and gives it a chance to OHKO with Sucker Punch. (mention how it removes your ice shard weakness from bax) Tera Grass allows Meowscarada's Flower Trick to always 2HKO Garganacl and gives it a chance to OHKO offensive Great Tusk.

Since Meowscarada forces a lot of switches and is adept at wearing down opponents with U-Turn, entry hazard support from the likes of Great Tusk, Glimmora, or Ting-Lu is greatly appreciated. (add how you also remove boots with knock to make the opposing team susceptible to hazards, a pretty relevant synergy to not mention) Gholdengo is a good partner as it helps keep entry hazards on the field and can threaten Pokemon that force Meowscarada out, such as Breloom and Amoonguss. In return, Meowscarda threatens Ting-Lu and weakened Greak Tusk, which Gholdengo greatly appreciates.

These wallbreakers threaten Pokemon that Meowscarada lures in, such as Amoonguss and Dragonite. (mention how you also cripple corv with knock for them) Meowscarada is excellent at wearing down walls such as Dondozo and Garganacl. (this sentence feels out of place, move this to the end cause it also works with the next sentence, how things like kingambit dnite and valiant also loves you doing this for them) Late game cleaners such as Booster Energy Iron Valiant, Dragon Dance Dragonite, and Kingambit are great partners that can help finish off a team that Meowscarda wore down. All of the aforementioned offensive teammates appreciate Meowscarada pressuring their checks like Dondozo, Garganacl, and Rotom-W. (something like this, feel free to reword)
