After a Swords Dance boost, Hisuian Samurott becomes a terrifying wallbreaker that can dent physically defensive walls like Corviknight. Sucker Punch acts as speed control against Pokemon like Zapdos and Iron Moth. Ceaseless Edge forces defensive Pokemon, such as Corviknight, to switch-in and choose between entry hazard removal or healing. Black Glasses is the item of choice, boosting its Dark-type moves without the recoil of Life Orb. Pokemon like Thundurus and Iron Moth are very useful teammates, as they compensate for Hisuian Samurott's average Speed tier and can heavily damage physical walls that counter Hisuian Samurott like Quaquaval and Zamazenta-C. In return, Hisuian Samurott wears down special walls with its ability to set up a layer of Spikes. Additionally, due to its unimpressive bulk, Hisuian Samurott relies on walls such as Corviknight and Hisuian Goodra to compensate for the lack of defensive utility it brings.

this seems to be too big to be considered a mini analysis, probably should shorten it
After a Swords Dance boost, Hisuian Samurott becomes a terrifiyng wallbreaker that can dent physically defensive walls like Corviknight. <-- add period, remove comma -->, can take attacks from non-Sacred Sword Chien-Pao redundant since cb pao 2hkoes you with crash / sd has good odds of 2hko with minor chip and can play mindgames with Adaptability-boosted Sucker Punch or set up a layer of Spikes via Ceaseless Edge. Sucker Punch is the main attacking move against Pokemon that are faster than Hisuian Samurott, and can threaten to take it out with a super-effective hit, such as Thundurus and Iron Moth acts as speed control against frailer threats that outspeed it. mention ceaseless here instead. Liquidation is Hisuian Samurott's last move, as a secondary STAB against Pokemon like Talonflame super-effectively. stab moves dont need a mention Black Glasses is the main item on this set, to boosts the damage of Sucker Punch and Ceasless Edge even further without recoil, however, Life Orb can be used to give a higher boost to all moves, at the cost of recoil. Hisuian Samurott best fits on hyper offense and bulky offense teams, especially ones with dual screens, as it gives Hisuian Samurott an easier time setting up in front of Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Galarian Zapdos. sam should not be setting up on these Pokemon Hisuian Samurott is used on teams that struggle against Psychic-type and Ghost-type breakers and special walls like Armarouge, Ceruledge, and Meloetta, with it's super effective STAB combo. i dont understand this at all. one, arma is irrelevant; two, stuffing both breaker and special wall in the same sentence makes it confusing; three, this isnt true. hamurott is more of a hole denter and entry hazard setter than it is as cplay to ceru and melo. Hisuian Samurott greatly struggles against Quaquaval and Zamazenta why specifically these two? you need to mention why hamurott struggles with them- their sheer physical bulk, typing, and ability to threaten hamurott., so Pokemon like Thundurus and Iron Moth are very useful mention why they are useful- covers hamurott's low speed, deals with physically defensive pokemon, etc. Additionally, if Hisuian Samurott is not Swords Dance boosted, the aforementioned Iron Moth and Thundurus can knock it out, so special walls like RegenVest Alolan Muk and Meloetta are good options. again, this sentence doesnt make sense. this assumes that the opponent has moth / thundurus and hence you should use special walls. make this more generalised, hamurott has unimpressive bulk and needs teammates like Corv and Hoodra that make up for its low bulk, something along the lines of that.

also karpe went thru it on discord ty :3

After a Swords Dance boost, Hisuian Samurott becomes a terrifying wallbreaker that can dent physically defensive walls like Corviknight. Sucker Punch acts as speed control against faster threats that outspeed it I would list some examples (Zapdos, Iron Moth, etc.). Also, this is awfully redundant since it lists speed control AND faster threats AND outspeeding <-all of those imply the same thing. Ceaseless Edge is a reliable used to set up a layer of Spikes on the opponent's side This is just dex info; I would consider deleting the sentence entirely and instead talking about how it can often forces switch-ins to choose between trying to recover and clearing hazards so their teammates aren't chipped. Black Glasses boosts the damage of Sucker Punch and Ceasless Edge without recoil, however, Life Orb can be used to give a higher boost to all moves, at the cost of recoil Unless there is a significant calc(s) being missed out on when not uszing Life Orb, I would reword this to simply state that Black Glasses is preferred to avoid Life Orb recoil. Hisuian Samurott best fits on hyper offense and bulky offense teams and greatly struggles against Quaquaval and Zamazenta-C, due to their high physical bulk, super effective Fighting STAB moves, and resistance to Hisuian Samurott's STAB combo. Pokemon like Thundurus and Iron Moth are very useful, as they cover Hisuian Samurott's average speed tier and can heavily damage physical walls that counter Hisuian Samurott. Additionally, due to its unimpressive bulk, Hisuian Samurott relies on walls such as Corviknight and Hisuian Goodra to make up for it'(remove)s low bulk.

After a Swords Dance boost, Hisuian Samurott becomes a terrifying wallbreaker that can dent physically defensive walls like Corviknight. Sucker Punch acts as speed control against Pokemon like Zapdos and Iron Moth. Ceaseless Edge forces defensive Pokemon to switch-in, such as Corviknight, and even then, threatens them forces either clear hazards removal or healing. the wording is a little bit strange here, speak in active voice. rewrite Black Glasses is the main item for boosting Sucker Punch and Ceasless Edge, and also to dex info avoid Life Orb recoil damage. if you're not going to mention the merits of life orb over black glasses with a significant damage roll you otherwise wouldn't hit, don't have it slashed at all Hisuian Samurott best fits on hyper offense and bulky offense teams and ? what do these clauses have to do with each other. make this it's own sentence later in the analysis greatly struggles against Quaquaval and Zamazenta-C, due to their high physical bulk, super effective Fighting STAB moves, and resistance to Hisuian Samurott's STAB combo not only is this dex info, but you didn't cover teammates that beat these in the same sentence. rewrite. Pokemon like Thundurus and Iron Moth are very useful, as they cover Hisuian Samurott's average speed tier and can heavily damage physical walls that counter Hisuian Samurott. Additionally, due to its unimpressive bulk, Hisuian Samurott relies on walls such as Corviknight and Hisuian Goodra to make up for its low bulk. nothing about pivots that hisuian samurott depends on to get in safely? hazard removal? teammates that appreciate hisuian samurott tearing down physical walls or setting up spikes for them? expand the sentences here to include these beneficial teammates and why they're beneficial. have the mini-analysis template open while you write and cover all of the necessary inclusions.

Hisuian Samurott greatly struggles against Quaquaval and Zamazenta-C, due to their high physical bulk, super effective Fighting STAB moves, and resistance to Hisuian Samurott's STAB combo this is still dex info. Fast wallbreakers Pokemon like Thundurus and Iron Moth are very useful teammates, as they cover compensate for Hisuian Samurott's average speed tier and can heavily damage physical walls that counter Hisuian Samurott like Quaquaval and Zamazenta-C calling zama-c a wall instead of a tank is debatable, but it fits better here than in the last sentence. these special wallbreakers also heavily appreciate Hisuian Samurott wearing down Special walls with Spikes, that should be mentioned. Additionally, due to its unimpressive bulk, Hisuian Samurott relies on walls such as Corviknight and Hisuian Goodra to make up for its low bulk i'd specifically say something along the lines of "to compensate for the lack of defensive utility it brings".
