ZU Pyukumuku [QC: 2/2 GP: 1/1]

move 1: Recover
move 2: Block

[SET COMMENTS]
Pyukumuku is the sole viable user of Unaware in ZU, making it a cornerstone on stall teams. Unaware allows Pyukumuku to take on setup sweepers such as Iron Defense Cofagrigus, Swords Dance Rhydon, and Silvally formes. Block prevents the foe from switching and allows Pyukumuku to remove them with Toxic or PP stall with Spite. Rest removes status and helps to PP stall foes that cannot 3HKO Pyukumuku, such as Choice Scarf Sawk. Leftovers is normally preferred when entry hazard removal is prevalent on the team, while Heavy-Duty Boots may be used to help against entry hazard stacking matchups.

Pyukumuku's passive nature limits it to fitting exclusively on stall teams. Specially defensive clerics such as Clefairy and Articuno form a good core with Pyukumuku. Physically defensive Pokemon such as Altaria, Tangela, and Golbat, which can take on offensive Grass-types, make for good partners with Pyukumuku. Pokemon that can beat Electric-types such as Rotom-S and block Volt Switch such as Stunfisk are also great partners. If not running Heavy-Duty Boots, or if the item gets removed, Pyukumuku can take big damage from entry hazards and have a harder time checking Silvally-Dark and Rapidash. To avoid this, entry hazard removers such as Altaria, Articuno, and Eldegoss are essential on stall teams.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Pyukumuku can sometimes forgo Block to run Rest with both Spite and Toxic. Soak lets Pyukumuku inflict Toxic poison on Steel- and Poison-types Klinklang and Silvally-Poison and helps it better take on Pokemon such as Kangaskhan, Klinklang, and other Silvally formes by making them lose their STAB bonus.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Taunt**: Pyukumuku is forced to use Struggle if it gets afflicted by Taunt. Taunt users like Skuntank, Alolan Persian, and Qwilfish beat Pyukumuku, but some of them should be wary of being inflicted by Toxic poison on the switch.

**Substitute**: Substitute users such as Rotom, Klinklang, and Articuno are major threats to Pyukumuku due to them being immune to Block and Toxic; however, PP stalling with Spite and Rest can help against them.

**Electric- and Grass-types**: Since Pyukumuku is weak to Grass- and Electric-type moves, Pokemon such as Rotom formes, Shiftry, and Flapple are big threats to it.

**Strong Wallbreakers**: Strong wallbreakers such as Choice Band Sawk and Cinccino 2HKO Pyukumuku.

**Stored Power Users**: After several Calm Minds, Alcremie, Musharna, Uxie, and Swoobat can overcome Pyukumuku's Unaware with Stored Power. They also have Substitute or Rest to combat Toxic.

**Freeze-Dry**: Pokemon like Articuno can break through Pyukumuku with their super effective STAB Freeze-Dry.

Pyukumuku is the sole viable user of Unaware in ZU, making it a cornerstone Pokémon for stall teams. Unaware paired with striking bulk allows Pyukumuku to confront a lot of Pokémon in the tier, such as Iron Defense Cofagrigus, Silvally forms, Sneasel, Basculin, Omastar, Lycanroc, no Taunt Skuntank, Rapidash, Kingler, Type: Null, Dugtrio-Alola, Kabutops, Klinklang, Spiritomb, Malamar and Carracosta shorten this list to 3/4 examples. Nevertheless, Pyukumuku's shallow movepool does not pack any offensive move. Taunt running Pokémon completely overwhelm and disarm Pyukumuku: Skuntank, Persian-Alola, Qwilfish, Vanilluze and some Sneasel sets. Pokémon who pack Substitute, such as Frosmoth, can be troublesome but Pyukumuku's Spite sets can help against them. These two points are talked on in C&C Pyukumuku main goal is to wear down opponent's threats with Toxic and or Spite PP stalling. Its passive nature leads Pokémon such as Garbodor, Qwilfish, Ferroseed and Golbat to come on the field and set entry hazards or remove them in the case of Golbat. that's not something that fits in our analysis :c Finally, Pyukumuku also has a hard time against some wallbreakers such as Centiskorch and Sawk because the former can spam Knock Off first and then Fire Lash in the switch in and Power Whip afterwards. The latter if running Choice Band can 2HKO Pyukumuku with Close Combat. This is also C&C material.
In this section, you have to explain the choice made in the set (moveslots, ability, spread, item).

Pyukumuku can switch in when opponent's Pokémon can set up or they cannot 2HKO it. These can be physical attackers that run Swords Dance, Bulk Up or Belly Drum such as Kingler, Lycanroc, Rapidash, Sandslash, Silvally forms, Sneasel (if not running Taunt), Poliwrath, Gurdurr and Eiscue or some special attackers that run Calm mind, Nasty Plot or Shell Smash such as no-Taunt Skuntank, Clefairy, Ninetales, no-Taunt Persian-Alola, Omastar and Turtonator. It doesn't fit in this section All these Pokémon Breakers such as Lycanroc, Rapidash, and Silvally forms can be trapped by Block and then getting Toxic'd or PP stalled by Spite. Use Recover to keep Pyukumuku at full health and Rest to erases status name Pokemon it allows Pyukumuku to beat. Rest and also improves Pyukumuku's effectiveness at PP stalling and it is helpful when Pyukumuku does not get 3HKO by the opponent's Pokémon name some breakers that fail to 3HKO Pyuk. In addition to this, Pyukumuku can also resist some Choice Band users such as Sneasel and Choice Scarf users such as Sawk.

Pyukumuku's passive nature limits it to practically only fitting on stall teams. Special defensive cleric Pokémon partners such as Audino make a good core with Pyukumuku. Lickilicky can act as Cleric and Taunt absorber due to its ability Oblivion. I'd like you to name more Pokémon archetype that work well in stall with Pyuk (hazard control, secondary physical wall, ...) Other Pokémon that can take offensive Grass-type Pokémon make good parters with Pyukumuku: Altaria, Tangela and Golbat. Pokémon immune to Electric that can beat Electric-types and disturb VoltTurn cores such as Silvally-Ground, not really a stall partner Stunfisk-Galar and Palossand are also great partners.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Sometimes not running Block can be useful because then you can run Rest with both Spite and Toxic. Rest helps against more balanced or stallish teams. Soak is also an option to get Toxic in opponent's Pokémon which could not get so due to typing: steel and poison type Pokémon. Moreover, it helps to better resist opponent's Pokémon attacks as they normally lose STAB boost.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Taunt and Substitute**: Pyukumuku is forced to use Struggle if it gets Taunted. Therefore, any Pokémon that run Taunt and it is not Toxic in the siwtch, can beat Pyukumuku. Substitute users are also a major threat to Pyukumuku but Spite can help against them. Name users of these moves

**Electric- and Grass-types**: Since Pyukumuku is weak to Grass- and Electric-type moves, Pokémon of these types, such as Rotom forms, Shiftry, Magneton, Appletun, Flapple, Ludicolo, Trevenant, Abomasnow and Boltund the sentence isn't finished yet, also name less Pokémon. Vanilluxe with Freeze-Dry and Taunt can also overcome it. -> I'd rather have it have its own section as Freeze-Dry users

**Strong Wallbreakers**: Strong wallbreakers such as Choice Band Sawk can 2HKO Pyukumuku. -> i'd like more examples

**Stored Power users**: Alcremie, Rapidash-Galar gorse is unranked and Swoobat if they did not get Toxic'd, after some Calm Minds can overcome Pyukumuku's Unaware with Stored Power.

**Mold Breaker**: Mold Breaker users such as Throh can set up in front of Pyukumuku and can break through Unaware.
too niche imo, Mold Breaker BU Throh and Sawk aren't considered as big enough to deserve their own section

[SET COMMENTS]
Pyukumuku is the sole viable user of Unaware in ZU, making it a cornerstone Pokemon for stall teams. Unaware paired with striking physical bulk (fluff) allows Pyukumuku to confront a lot of Pokemon attackers in the tier, such as Iron Defense Cofagrigus, Silvally forms, Sneasel, and Omastar. Both Leftovers and Heavy-duty boots are useful items as the former helps to recover HP slowly and the latter makes the hazard stack match-up a bit easier. That's just general information about these items, say Leftovers are prefered in stall teams with very sturdy hazard removal whereas HDB are prefered when hazard removal is less solid. Pyukumuku is normally used as a trapper. The next line implies that Pyuk is a trapper Block can stop trap opponent's Pokemon of switching out and then Pyukumuku can remove them with Toxic or PP stalling with Spite'd them. I in the case they cannot be hit Toxic'd due to typing or Substitute., Pyukumuku can use Spite to PP stall foes. For longevity, Pyukumuku run Recover and fluff it can also run Rest, erasing status changes and also helping on PP stalling foes that can't 3HKO Pyukumuku such as Choice Band Sneasel and Choice Scarf Sawk. Regarding to Rest, some opponent's Pokemon such as Silvally forms sometimes run Toxic to break through opponent's walls. In this case, Rest also helps to erase. Against balanced or stall teams, running Rest is also useful to PP stall and waste opponent's status moves. You already stated the information in these last two sentences in the former two sentences Breakers such as Lycanrock, Silvally forms, and Rapidash can be trapped by Block and then getting Toxic'd or PP stalled by Spite. fluff Pyukumuku can also take hits from other wallbreakers such as Choice Band Sneasel and Choice Scarf Sawk who do not 3HKO it.

Pyukumuku's passive nature limits it to practically only fitting on stall teams. Special defensive cleric Pokemon partners such as Audino make a good core with Pyukumuku. Lickilicky can act as a Cleric too and Taunt absorber due to its ability Obliviousn. Other physical defensive Pokemon that can take offensive Grass-type Pokemon make good parters with Pyukumuku such as Altaria, Tangela, and Golbat. Pokemon immune to Electric that can beat Electric-types and disturb VoltTurn cores such as Stunfisk-Galar and Palossand are also great partners. If not running Heavy-duty boots or the item gets knocked-off, Pyukumuku can take big damage due to hazards. To avoid this, pairing up Pyukumuku with entry hazard control Pokemon such as Golbat, Altaria, Cryogonal, and Edegoss is essential for stall (Avalugg is UR, Defog Skuntank and DragonVally aren't things you want to use in stall). Avalugg and Golbat as physical walls and Cryogonal, Altaria, Eldegoss, Skuntank and Silvally-Dragon as special walls can do this job.

Soak is also an option to get Toxic in opponent's Pokemon which could not get so due to typing: steel and poison type Pokemon. Moreover, it helps to better resist opponent's Pokemon attacks as they normally lose STAB boost mention Pokémon that soak lets Pyukumuku wall that other sets can't.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Taunt users**: Pyukumuku is forced to use Struggle if it gets Taunted. Therefore, any Pokemon that run Taunt like Skuntank, Persian-Alola, Qwilfish and it is not Toxic in the siwtch switch, can beat Pyukumuku. Some exemples are Skuntank, Persian-Alola, Qwilfish, Vanilluxe and some Sneasel sets.

**Substitute users**: Substitute users such as Silvally-Ghost and -Dragon, Poliwrath and Sawk are also a major threat to Pyukumuku due to being immune to Block and Toxic but PP stalling with Spite and Rest can help against them.

**Electric- and Grass-types**: Since Pyukumuku is weak to Grass- and Electric-type moves, Pokemon of these types, such as Rotom forms, Shiftry, Flapple, Ludicolo and Trevenant not more than 4 examples, so I cut the less relevant one are big threats to Pyukumuku. Vanilluxe with Freeze-Dry and Taunt can also overcome it. Fits in Freeze-Dry users and Taunt users.

**Strong Wallbreakers**: Strong wallbreakers such as Choice Band Sawk, Cinccino, and Kangaskhan Centiskorch (Choice Band Kangaskhan is really uncommun) can 2HKO Pyukumuku. Centiskorch is also worth mentioning as after Pyukumuku's Leftovers are knocked-off, Centiskorch can click Fire Lash when Pyukumuku switches in decreasing its physical defense by 1 and then click Power Whip to get the KO. Power Whip is already a 2HKO without any support and Fire Lash into Power Whip only needs few chip.

**Stored Power users**: Alcremie, Musharna, and Swoobat, after some Calm Minds can overcome Pyukumuku's Unaware with Stored Power.

**Freeze-Dry users**: Pokemon like Cryogonal and Vanilluxe can break through Pyukumuku clicking with their super effective STAB Freeze-Dry.

Pyukumuku is the sole viable user of Unaware in ZU, making it a cornerstone Pokemon for stall teams. Unaware allows Pyukumuku to confront a lot of attackers in the tier, such as Iron Defense Cofagrigus, Silvally formes, and Lycanroc (extra example). Leftovers is normally preferred when entry hazard removal sources are present prevalent (every team has removal with Pyuk, so prevalence is what should be stressed) in the team. Heavy-Duty boots may be used to help against entry hazard stacking matchups. Block stops opponent's Pokemon and then Pyukumuku can remove them with Toxic or PP stalling with Spite in the case they cannot be hit by Toxic due to typing or Substitute (Fluff). Pyukumuku can also run Rest, erasing status changes and also helping on PP stalling foes who cannot 3HKO Pyukumuku such as Choice Scarf Sawk. (Move the Leftovers and HDB sentences here at the end of this paragraphs. Always mention set details in the order they are presented on the set here, thus you'd explain moves first before mentioning item details)

Pyukumuku's passive nature limits it to practically only fitting on stall teams. Special defensive cleric Pokemon partners such as Audino make a good core with Pyukumuku. Lickilicky can act as a cleric too and Taunt absorber due to its ability Oblivious.

Sometimes not running Block can be useful because then you can run Rest with both Spite and Toxic. Rest helps against more balanced or stallish teams. (Fluff; it's not a bad sentiment but there's no need for extra details in OO) Soak is also an option to get Toxic in opponent's Pokemon which could not get so due to typing: steel and poison type Pokemon Ferroseed and Garbodor, for example (Listing the typings normally immune to Toxic is fluff. Instead, examples here are a good idea as it also shows Pokemon that Pyuk realistically traps and Soaks.) Moreover, it helps to better resist opponent's Pokemon attacks as they normally lose STAB boost. Some examples are: Klinklang, Kangaskhan, (AC) and Silvally formes.

QC 2/2! This check was mostly just small GP changes + redirection for more relevant examples or wordchoices. Good job!
Here are some GP standards to keep in mind with future analysis writing:

• In lists of three or more, use another comma. You'll see my (AC), which = add comma, where the extra comma goes.
• Alolan and Galarian formes, not Persian-Alola.
• It's formes with an E when talking about Silvally and Rotom formes.
• Never just "hazards." Always "entry hazards"

Physiically defensive Pokemon, such as Altaria, Tangela, and Golbat, that can take on offensive Grass-types make for good partners with Pyukumuku. Pokemon that can beat Electric-types such as Magneton and block Volt Switch (no hyphen in Volt Switch) such as Galarian Stunfisk and Palossand are also great partners. If not running Heavy-Duty Boots or if the item gets removed, Pyukumuku can take big damage from entry hazards and have a harder time checking Lycanrock and Silvally-Ground and Rapidash. To avoid this, pairing up Pyukumuku with entry hazard control Pokemon such as Altaria, Articuno, Golbat, Cryogonal, and Eldegoss are essential on stall teams. (more relevant than Cryo post shifts)

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Pyukumuku can sometimes forgo Block, which allows it to run Rest with both Spite and Toxic. Soak lets Pyukumuku inflict Toxic poison on Steel- and Poison-types like Ferroseed and Garbodor and helps it better take on Pokemon such as Kangaskhan, Klinklang, and Silvally-formes by making them lose their STAB bonus.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Taunt**: Pyukumuku is forced to use Struggle if it gets Taunted. Therefore, Taunt users like Skuntank, Alolan Persian, and Qwilfish can beat it, but some of them should be wary of being inflicted by Toxic posion on the switch.

**Substitute**: Substitute users such as Silvally-Ghost and Poliwrath are major threats to Pyukumuku due to them being immune to Block and Toxic; however, PP stalling with Spite and Rest can help against them.

**Electric- and Grass-types**: Since Pyukumuku is weak to Grass- and Electric-type moves, Pokemon such as the Rotom-formes, Magneton, Shiftry, Flapple, and Ludicolo are big threats to it.

**Strong Wallbreakers**: Strong wallbreakers such as Choice Band Sawk, Cinccino, and Centiskorch can 2HKO Pyukumuku.

**Stored Power Users**: After several Calm Minds, Alcremie, Musharna, and Swoobat can overcome Pyukumuku's Unaware with Stored Power. They also have Substitute or Rest to combat Toxic.

**Freeze-Dry**: Pokemon like Articuno and Cryogonal and Vanilluxe can break through Pyukumuku with their super effective STAB Freeze-Dry.

[Mirbro]

Maybe it was not clear but edits due to metagame changes are already implemented ready for GP 2

 

[5Dots]

Not a GPer, but I think Kingler is banned from ZU.
Musharna isn't a good stored power user and is probably not worth a mention.

Pyukumuku is the sole viable user of Unaware in ZU, making it a cornerstone on stall teams. Unaware allows Pyukumuku to take on set up setup sweepers such as Iron Defense Cofagrigus,(RC) and Silvally-(RH)formes. Block prevents the foe from switching and allows Pyukumuku to remove them with Toxic or PP stall with Spite. Pyukumuku can also run Rest,(RC) erasing status and helping Rest removes status and helps to PP stall foes that cannot 3HKO it Pyukumuku,(AC) such as Choice Scarf Sawk. Leftovers is normally preferred when entry hazard removal sources are is prevalent on the team, while Heavy-Duty Boots may be used to help against entry hazard-(RH)stacking matchups.

Pyukumuku's passive nature limits it to practically only fitting on stall teams. Specially defensive clerics such as Audino and Alcremie make form a good core with Pyukumuku, with Alcremie also acting as a Taunt absorber due to its ability Aroma Veil.

If not running Heavy-Duty Boots,(AC) or if the item gets removed, Pyukumuku can take big damage from entry hazards and have a harder time checking Silvally-Ground and Rapidash. To avoid this, pairing up Pyukumuku with entry hazard control Pokemon removers such as Altaria, Articuno, Golbat, and Eldegoss are essential on stall teams.

Consider this recheck as GP 1/1. Please be careful with implementation; I noticed that some of my changes got reverted back to incorrect ones like "Silvally-formes" when it should be "Silvally formes".

Pyukumuku is the sole viable user of Unaware in ZU, making it a cornerstone on stall teams. Unaware allows Pyukumuku to take on set up sweepers such as Iron Defense Cofagrigus, Swords Dance Rhydon and Silvally-formes. Block prevents the foe from switching and allows Pyukumuku to remove whittle them down with Toxic or PP stall with Spite. Pyukumuku can also run Rest, erasing status and helping to PP stall foes that cannot 3HKO it such as Choice Scarf Sawk. Leftovers is normally preferred when entry hazard removal sources are prevalent on the team, while Heavy-Duty Boots may be used to help against entry hazard-stacking matchups.

Pyukumuku's passive nature limits it to practically only fitting exclusively on stall teams. Specially defensive clerics such as Audino and Alcremie make a good core with Pyukumuku, with Alcremie also acting as a Taunt absorber due to its ability Aroma Veil. Physically defensive Pokemon, such as Altaria, Tangela, and Golbat, that can take on offensive Grass-types make for good partners with Pyukumuku. Pokemon that can beat Electric-types such as Rotom-fan and block Volt Switch such as Galarian Stunfisk are also great partners. If not running Heavy-Duty Boots or if the item gets removed, Pyukumuku can take big damage quickly get worn down from entry hazards and have a harder time checking Silvally-Ground Dark and Rapidash. To avoid this, pairing up Pyukumuku with entry hazard control Pokemon such as Altaria, Articuno, Golbat, and Eldegoss are essential on stall teams.

Other Options
=============

Pyukumuku can sometimes forgo Block, which allows it to run Rest with both Spite and Toxic. Soak lets Pyukumuku inflict Toxic poison on Steel- and Poison-types like Ferroseed and Garbodor Alolan Sandslash and helps it better take on Pokemon such as Kangaskhan, Klinklang, and Silvally-formes by making them lose their STAB bonuses.

You could also mention a specially defensive spread to better handle Frosmoth, Jynx, Ninetales, and Specs Thievul, though it tends to be a lot worse at walling more relevant threats like Kangaskhan, Silvally formes, and Sawk.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Taunt**: Pyukumuku is forced to use Struggle if it gets Taunted. Therefore, Taunt users like Skuntank, Alolan Persian, and Qwilfish can beat it, but some of them should be wary of being inflicted by Toxic posion on the switch.

**Substitute**: Substitute users such as Silvally-Ghost Klinklang, Rotom and Poliwrath are major threats to Pyukumuku due to them being immune to Block and Toxic; however, PP stalling with Spite and Rest can help against them. SubPlot Rotom is especially dangerous since it possesses super effective STAB moves to deal a lot of damage to it. Substitute variants of Articuno can PP stall it as well.

**Electric- and Grass-types**: Since Pyukumuku is weak to Grass- and Electric-type moves, Pokemon such as the Rotom-formes, Rotom-Fan, Shiftry, Flapple, and Ludicolo are big threats to it.

**Strong Wallbreakers**: Strong wallbreakers such as Choice Band Sawk, Cinccino, and Centiskorch Choice Specs Rotom can 2HKO Pyukumuku.

**Stored Power Users**: After several Calm Minds, Alcremie, Musharna, and Swoobat Uxie can overcome Pyukumuku's Unaware with Stored Power. They also have Substitute or Rest to combat Toxic.

**Freeze-Dry**: Pokemon like Articuno and Cryogonal can break through Pyukumuku with their super effective STAB Freeze-Dry. Cryogonal can have difficulty breaking against Pyuk 1v1 and hates taking toxic:
0 SpA Cryogonal Freeze-Dry vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Pyukumuku: 116-138 (37 - 44%) -- 99.8% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
Articuno can 2HKO it and PP stall with pressure, but can probably be moved to Substitute users to become an even harder counter.

Sorry for being late but I have already implemented the notes from DC and some from 5Dots that I thought were useful. Thanks and I think this is finished
