Mmm... This tea tastes dangerous! Polteageist has established itself as a fearsome Shell Smash sweeper on hyper offense teams in RU, since there are few Pokemon that can reliably prevent it from sweeping after it sets up. Shadow Ball is a great offensive STAB move, while Stored Power becomes its strongest move after using Shell Smash. Giga Drain enables Polteageist to pick off weakened Dark-types like Obstagoon and Umbreon and break through bulky Water-types like Milotic and Gastrodon. White Herb makes Polteageist slightly more difficult to revenge kill by resetting its lowered stats. Incineroar, Umbreon, Snorlax, and Porygon2 are the best defensive checks to Polteageist. Therefore, setup sweepers such as Cobalion, Slurpuff, Necrozma, and Sharpedo are recommended, as they either take advantage of or overwhelm them. Galarian Weezing provides Memento and Misty Terrain support, both of which give Polteageist more setup opportunities. Psychic Terrain support from Indeedee increases the strength of Stored Power and prevents Polteageist from being revenge killed by priority users like Durant, Doublade, and Toxicroak. Alolan Ninetales sets up Aurora Veil and enables the use Arctozolt as a strong wallbreaker.

Nicely written.

Just a small qualm. When it comes about overwhelming common checks Toxtricity really fails to do that overwhelm aspect being a setup sweeper. Id mention Sharpedo over it, Sharpedo really compliments Polteageist as an offensive partners with overwhelming common checks. And, it fills the roll as a setup sweeper of sorts with protect + speed boost

Dope piece of work. QC 1/1 once change is done.

Mmm... This tea tastes dangerous! Polteageist has established itself as a fearsome Shell Smash sweeper on hyper offense teams in RU. (sort of feels like this sentence is shorter than it should be. what traits allowed it to become a fearsome sweeper in RU?) Shadow Ball is a great offensive STAB move, (AC) while Stored Power becomes its strongest move after a using Shell Smash. Giga Drain enables Polteageist to pick off weakened Dark-types like Obstagoon and Umbreon and to break through bulky Water-types like Milotic and Gastrodon. White Herb makes Polteageist slightly more difficult to revenge kill by resetting its lowered stats. Incineroar, Umbreon, Snorlax, and Porygon2 are the best defensive checks to Polteageist.

Galarian Weezing provides Memento and Misty Terrain support, (AC) both of which gives Polteageist more setup opportunities. Psychic Terrain support from Indeedee increases the strength of Stored Power and prevents Poltergeist from being revenge killed by priority users like Durant, Duoblade Doublade, and Toxicroak. Alolan Ninetales setups sets up Aurora Veil and enables to the use Arctozolt as a strong wallbreaker.

Polteageist has established itself as a fearsome Shell Smash sweeper on hyper offense teams in RU, (AC) as after one setup since there are only a few certain (you can also go with "there are few", your call.) Pokemon that can reliable reliably prevent a it from sweeping after it sets up.

gp 1/1 (again) (again)

Thank you for pointing it out! I corrected it directly now in the OP since this is already scheduled.
