Happy 10 Years!

Rillaboom @ Miracle Seed
Ability: Grassy Surge
Level: 50
EVs: 32 HP / 24 Atk / 1 Def / 1 SpD / 8 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Wood Hammer
- Grassy Glide
- High Horsepower / U-turn

The metagame shifts. The drummer returns! Rillaboom's passive recovery and Fake Out pressure create setup opportunities for teammates. With Miracle Seed, Rillaboom can OHKO offensive Basculegion-M with Grassy Glide and Mega Tyranitar with Wood Hammer. The Speed investment allows Rillaboom to outspeed Politoed, and its bulk allows it to survive Flare Blitz from Incineroar and Hyper Voice from Mega Salamence. High Horsepower is a coverage option that OHKOs offensive Sneasler and Hisuian Arcanine, while U-turn provides repositioning and helps maintain Terrain control against Indeedee-F. Mega Staraptor, Mega Salamence, and Mega Charizard Y threaten Rillaboom with Flying- and Fire-type attacks, respectively, while it cannot damage them adequately in return. Partners like Mega Raichu Y can outspeed and OHKO Mega Staraptor before it can boost with Close Combat and provide speed control with Zap Cannon, while Rillaboom can switch in to tank Ground-type attacks and mitigate Earthquake damage with Grassy Terrain. Hisuian Arcanine decimates Mega Salamence and Mega Charizard Y with Head Smash, while Rillaboom can resist and counter Water-types like Basculegion-M.

I would like to recheck this before approving, I feel like you might still be significantly over the character limits after implementing this check.

The metagame shifts. The drummer returns! Providing passive recovery and Fake Out pressure, opens up opportunities for teammates to set up or stall. With the lack of Assault Vest, Fluff Rillaboom finds itself with the Miracle Seed, enabling an OHKO on offensive Basculegion-M with Grassy Glide and Mega Tyranitar with Wood Hammer. Need to reword this since cutting fluff The Speed investment allows Rillaboom to outspeed non-Timid Don't need to mention this, non of the Politoed which performed well at Baltimore last weekend were Timid Politoed (RC). (AP) speedties Not that common in the metagame and the bulk Scarf Rotom-W under Tailwind and survives a Hyper Voice from Mega Salamence. High Horsepower provides excellent coverage, allowing Rillaboom to OHKO offensive Sneasler and Arcanine-H Hisuian Arcanine while U-turn provides repositioning utility, allowing for crucial chip damage I feel bringing up the point of terrain control vs Indeedee is more important than mentioning chip damage. Flying Types like Mega Staraptor, Mega Salemence and Mega Charizard Y melts Not a great word choice, this only applies to Zard Y Rillaboom with their Flying- and Fire Type Fire-type attacks respectively with the two latter being untouchable to Rillaboom Rillaboom can't do much damage to all 3 alone. Partners like Mega Raichu Y can outspeed and OHKO Mega Staraptor before it can boost up with Close Combat and provide speed control with Zap Cannon, while Rillaboom can switch in and tank Ground Type Ground-type attacks and mitigate Earthquake damage with Grassy Terrain. Arcanine-H Hisuian Arcanine decimates Mega Salamence and Mega Charizard Y with Head Smash while Rillaboom can resist and counter Water Types like Mega Swampert Basculegion-M Slightly more common threat to Hisuian Arcanine.
 
This looks good to me now, I'm struggling to condense this further so it will be up to GP. 1/1
