[SET]
name: Defensive Coil
move 1: Coil
move 2: Stone Edge / Rock Slide
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Rest
item: Leftovers
ability: Shed Skin
nature: Careful
evs: 252 HP / 168 SpD / 88 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
With Coil, recovery, and the ability to expel status conditions with Shed Skin, Sandaconda becomes a dangerous threat late-game. Ground- and Rock-type moves hit the entire tier for neutral coverage. Stone Edge has more power and a higher critical hit chance but low PP, while Rock Slide has less power but higher PP, which is useful in longer games where the opponent can stall out Stone Edge PP. The Speed investment allows Sandaconda to move before Adamant Aggron, with the remainder of its EVs allocated to its special bulk. Some physical bulk could be useful to ease setup against Pokemon like Passimian and Scrafty, with 56 Def EVs always avoiding the 2HKO from a Passimian's Close Combat after Stealth Rock damage. Grass- and Water-types such as Whimsicott and Wishiwashi prevent Sandaconda from setting up, so teammates that can switch into and threaten such foes are crucial to Sandaconda's success. Ferroseed has the bulk and typing to handle a majority of offensive Grass- and Water-types, and can take advantage of their presence as an opportunity to lay entry hazards. Charizard and Tsareena similarly threaten the Grass- and Water-types that Sandaconda dislikes. These teammates also appreciate Sandaconda turning Archeops and Passimian into setup fodder late game, as they are forced out by both of them. Grass-type breakers like Trevenant and Gourgeist-S can bait in and wear down opposing Ground-type checks like Tangela and Claydol, while also forcing out Water-types like Poliwrath and Quagsire. Stealth Rock setters such as Gigalith and Miltank can allow Sandaconda to run Coil by filling in the role of a Stealth Rock user. In return, Sandaconda can switch into threatening Fighting-type foes like Scrafty and Passimian, especially with the aforementioned physical bulk investment option.

With Coil, recovery, and being able to ignore status with Shed Skin, Sandaconda becomes a dangerous threat lategame. Ground + Rock coverage hits the entire tier for neutral coverage, with Stone Edge having more power and a higher crit chance but low PP, while Rock Slide has less power but higher PP. The Speed investment lets it move before Adamant Aggron, with the rest dumped into its special bulk. (worth mentioning that one could run pdef investment to better take hits from stuff like pass without needing to set up. doing so lets it double as both a setup sweeper and a soft check to things, sort of like bu scrafty.) Grass- and Water-types such as Whimsicott and Wishiwashi prevent Sandaconda from setting up, so Pokemon that can deal with them are crucial to Sandaconda's success. Ferroseed has the bulk and typing to handle a majority of offensive Grass- and Water-types, and can take advantage of their presence to lay hazards. Charizard and Tsareena appreciate Sandaconda turning Archeops and Passimian into setup fodder late game, as they are forced out my both of them. In return, they threaten the Grass- and Water-types that Sandaconda dislikes. (you should say like "charizard and tsareena similarly threaten grass- and water-types and appreciate..." to make this read less redundant.) Grass-type breakers like Trevenant and Gourgeist-S can bait in and wear down opposing Grass-type checks, (do you mean ground-type checks? if not, i don't see how this point is relevant to sandaconda.) while forcing out Water-types like Poliwrath. (def list quag as an example too.)

With Coil, recovery, and being able to ignore status with Shed Skin, Sandaconda becomes a dangerous threat lategame. Ground + Rock coverage hits the entire tier for neutral coverage, with Stone Edge having more power and a higher crit chance but low PP, while Rock Slide has less power but higher PP when is lower pp an issue?. The Speed investment lets it move before Adamant Aggron, with the rest dumped into its special bulk. Some physical bulk may be useful to ease setup against Pokemon like Passimian what benchmark should be hit? also specifically mention how it makes it more usable throughout the game like Scrafty. Grass- and Water-types such as Whimsicott and Wishiwashi prevent Sandaconda from setting up, so Pokemon that can deal with them are crucial to Sandaconda's success this kinda reads weirdly and doesn't work too well when following up with a passive Pokemon. Ferroseed has the bulk and typing to handle a majority of offensive Grass- and Water-types, and can take advantage of their presence to lay hazards. Charizard and Tsareena similarly threaten the Grass- and Water-types that Sandaconda dislikes and appreciate Sandaconda turning Archeops and Passimian into setup fodder late game, as they are forced out by both of them this might be better off split into two sentences. Grass-type breakers like Trevenant and Gourgeist-S can bait in and wear down opposing Ground-type checks like?, while forcing out Water-types like Poliwrath and Quagsire. include some partners that can set stealth rock/make it easier to run coil

I'm a little old fashioned, and times have changed, but I think my edits are solid even if some changes were a little more stylistic. :)
