Defensive Reuniclus finds a place in a metagame lacking phenomenal Dark-types outside of Krookodile and Bisharp and with a myriad of Fighting- and Psychic- types such as Okidogi, Mienshao, and Slowbro. Its bulk and typing allow it to continuously switch into the aforementioned Fighting- and Psychic-types' moves and weaken the opposition while staying healthy with a combination of Recover and Regenerator. It can also act as a crucial member of teams relying on paralysis that enjoy its resistance to Fighting as well as its ability to invite in the likes of Bisharp and Jirachi and cripple them with Thunder Wave. Despite being in competition with Slowbro, Reuniclus's Electric neutrality as well as higher special bulk make it sometimes worth using over Slowbro. Thunder Wave makes it easier for wallbreakers like Volcanion, Okidogi, and Crawdaunt to shine. Psychic Noise is used over the stronger Psychic and Psyshock due to the recovery blocking effect. Knock Off is another excellent support move that forces progress by removing the bevy of Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers. Focus Blast can be used over Knock Off to deal with Krookodile and Bisharp as well as smacking Empoleon. Tera Water gives Reuniclus an excellent defensive matchup against rain teams and strong Water-type attacks from offensive threats such as Barraskewda, Blastoise, and Volcanion while also removing the weakness to Bug- and Dark-type attacks like U-turn and Knock Off. Tera Fairy turns the aforementioned weaknesses into resistances, gives a Dragon-type immunity against strong threats like Salamence and Noivern, and is generally a good defensive Tera type for a bulkier Pokemon like Reuniclus.

Reuniclus fits best on balance and bulky offense teams that enjoy its ability to switch into the myriad of Fighting-type moves in the tier and slow down and soften the opposition with Thunder Wave and Knock Off, respectively. Volcanion and Crawdaunt are great offensive partners for Reuniclus, as they enjoy Reuniclus's ability to slow down the opposition. Fighting-types such as Slither Wing and Okidogi make great offensive and defensive partners for Reuniclus. On the offensive side, they enjoy Reuniclus's Thunder Wave support and its Psychic resistance, while on the defensive side they resist the omnipresent Knock Off and U-turn. Reuniclus also enjoy Palossand, Fezandipiti, Chesnaught and other Fighting-type checks due to its crippling weakness to Knock Off and U-turn. Palossand and Chesnaught are also excellent entry hazard setters and enjoy Reuniclus's Knock Off support. However, since this Reuniclus set doesn't use Magic Guard, it enjoys hazard-removing partners like Cyclizar.

Defensive Reuniclus is a niche pick in the metagame. However with the tier lacking in amazing dark-types apart from Krookodile and Bisharp and the dominance of fighting-types such as Cobalion, Mienshao and the like make defensive Reuniclus an attractive pokemon. I'd like you to find another way to open this analysis, Reuniclus isn't really niche just rephrase the second sentence focusing on its role in the meta, mention para spam too This Reuniclus set can also competes with Slowbro but it's electric neutrality as well as higher special bulk make it sometimes worth using over Slowbro. Thunder Wave provides excellent team support by slowing down the opposition which makes it easier for breakers like Volcanion, Okidogi and Crawdaunt to shine. Here, Psychic Noise is used over the stronger Psychic and Psyshock due to the recovery blocking effect. add why this is relevant Knock Off is another excellent support move that forces progress by removing the bevy of Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers. Focus Blast can be used over Knock Off to deal with the aforementioned Krookodile and Bisharp as well as smacking Empoleon. Terastallizing Water or Fairy on Reuniclus is generally in case of an emergency giving it an excellent defensive profile such as resistance to Water and Fire allowing it to check the likes of Volcanion and Barraskewda in case of the former and a resistance to Knock Off and U-turn while keeping the valuable Fighting resistance and Dragon immunity. Allowing it turn the tables on Krookodile and Mienshao and even letting it soft check dragons such as Salamence and Noivern for example rephrase this part by making one sentence per Tera type

Reuniclus fits best on Balance and Bulky Offense team archetypes are not capitalized teams which enjoy it's ability to switch into the myriad of Close Combats Fighting-type moves flying in the tier as well as its ability in slowing down and softening the opposition with Thunder Wave and Knock Off respectively. The aforementioned Volcanion and Crawdaunt are great offensive partners for Reuniclus as they enjoy Reuniclus' ability to slow down the opposition. Fighting types such as Cobalion and Okidogi make great partners for Reuniclus as well, whether offensive or defensive. On the offensive side they enjoy Thunder Wave support from Reuniclus while on the defensive side they resist the omnipresent Knock Off and U-Turn while Reuniclus resists Psychic moves for them. add that Cobalion can spread status alongside Reuniclus on top of that Reuniclus also enjoys partnering Palossand, Fezandipiti, Chesnaught and other fighting checks due to it's crippling weakness to Knock Off and U-Turn. Palossand and Chesnaught also double as excellent Hazard setters which enjoy Reuniclus' ability to Knock Off the items on the opposing team. add that since it doesn't run Magic Guard, it is weak to hazards and therefore enjoys partners able to remove them
Good first draft! Tag me when these are implemented please :quagchamppogsire:
 
remove mentions of coba in first sentence, and include okidogi. for team options replace cobalion with slither wing. remove the bit abt cobalion twave.

Add (AC=add comma, AH=add hyphen)
Remove (RC=remove comma)
