Choice Specs Seadra is a solid wallbreaker that distinguishes itself from other Water-types like Brionne and Wartortle with its far better Speed tier, notably outspeeding foes such as Dartrix, Lampent, and Adamant Raboot. As an alternative to Surf, Scald is notably weaker but can wear down switch-ins like Ferroseed and Wartortle if you get the burn. Hydro Pump is used alongside Surf for situations where Surf isn't quite powerful enough. Notably, it 2HKOes offensive Klang, Tangela, and Galarian Corsola. Grass- and Dragon-types like Roselia and Hakamo-o that can take on Seadra's Water-type moves can be dispatched with Ice Beam. Flip Turn can be used on predicted switches to Pokemon that wall Seadra, particularly bulky Water-types and Ferroseed, chipping them down and retaining momentum.

Seadra appreciates teammates that can take advantage of bulky Water-types and special walls. In particular, Pikachu loves getting a free switch in against Pokemon like Mareanie and Wartortle, and it can also lure in bulky Grass-types like Tangela and Ferroseed and Knock Off their Eviolite or take out Seadra's counter Palpitoad with Grass Knot. Machoke is a solid option as well, especially variants with Earthquake or Flame Orb + Facade that can beat Mareanie and specially defensive Roselia. Seadra also benefits a lot from entry hazards like Spikes, which help it to wear down its checks. Ferroseed makes for an especially good partner, as it can set up entry hazards and take advantage of many bulky Water- and Grass-types like Brionne and Thwackey that typically force Seadra out. Seadra doesn't often find opportunities to switch in, so Pokemon with pivoting moves like U-turn Raboot, Parting Shot Galarian Linoone, and Volt Switch Klang can be used to get Seadra in safely.

When holding a Choice Specs, Seadra is a solid wallbreaker that distinguishes itself from other Water-types like Brionne and Wartortle with its better speed tier (this is the MAIN advantage it has from other water-types so I would emphasise on that point the most !!! add examples here, mons like adamant raboot etc) and higher initial power (i would remove this since brionne hits harder and wartortle smashes). Seadra's main STAB is Surf, which is strong and reliable (i'd like some examples here of what surf has that doesn't make me want to spam hydro pump). As an alternative, Scald is notably weaker but can wear down switchins like Ferroseed and Wartortle if you get the burn. Unfortunately, Seadra doesn't often find opportunities to fish for burns against its checks. Hydro Pump is used alongside Surf for situations where Surf isn't quite powerful enough. Notably, it 2HKOs Offensive Klang, Tangela and Galarian Corsola. Grass and Dragon-types like Roselia and Hakamo-o that want to take on Seadra's Water moves can be dispatched with Ice Beam. Flip Turn can be used on predicted switches to Pokemon that wall Seadra, particularly bulky Water-types and Ferroseed, to chip them down and retain momentum. Despite Flip Turn being a physical move, Seadra still prefers to run a Timid nature as Flip Turn does minimal damage anyway and it doesn't want to lower its defenses.

Seadra appreciates teammates that can abuse the bulky Water-types and special walls that Seadra Flip Turns against (is this a necessary addition to the sentence? i'd remove it). In particular, Pikachu loves getting a free switch-in against Pokemon like Mareanie or Wartortle, and it can lure in bulky Grass-types like Tangela or Ferroseed and Knock Off their Eviolite, which makes it easier for Seadra to push through them later on. Machoke is a solid option as well, especially variants with Earthquake or Flame Orb + Facade that can lure in and beat Mareanie and Specially Defensive Roselia. Seadra also benefits a lot from entry hazards like Spikes, which help it to wear down its checks. Ferroseed makes for an especially good partner, as it can take advantage of many bulky Water and Grass-types that force Seadra out to set up Spikes. Seadra doesn't often find many opportunities to switch in, so Pokemon with pivoting moves like U-turn Raboot, Parting Shot Galarian Linoone or Volt Switch Klang can be used to get Seadra in safely.

When holding a Choice Specs, Seadra is a solid wallbreaker that distinguishes itself from other Water-types like Brionne and Wartortle by having a far better Speed tier, notably outspeeding opponents such as Roselia Dartrix, Lampent, and Adamant Raboot (Dartrix is more threatened by specs Ice Beam / Hydro than Rose, which punishes Seadra better with its huge SpD). Seadra's main STAB is Surf, which is strong and accurate (Fluff, regular stab moves don’t need a justification). As an alternative to Surf, Scald is notably weaker but can wear down switchins like Ferroseed and Wartortle if you get the burn. Unfortunately, Seadra doesn't often find opportunities to fish for burns against its checks (im confused about this sentence as the previous one lists examples of switchins to fish for scald burns... Unless there’s better clarity for a point im missing, it’s probably better to delete this to not contradict the previous point). Hydro Pump is used alongside Surf for situations where Surf isn't quite powerful enough. Notably, it 2HKOs offensive Klang, Tangela, and Galarian Corsola. Grass- and Dragon-types like Roselia Gloom and Hakamo-o that want to take on Seadra's Water moves can be dispatched with Ice Beam. Flip Turn can be used on predicted switches to Pokemon that wall Seadra, particularly bulky Water-types and Ferroseed, to chip them down and retain momentum. Despite Flip Turn being a physical move, Seadra still prefers to run a Timid nature as Flip Turn does minimal damage regardless and it doesn't want to lower its defenses. (Fluff, Seadra’s by-the-numbers spread doesnt need a justification, and neither does the Flip Turn part as special pivots have always ran uturn and negative atk investment without need of an explanation)

Seadra appreciates teammates that can abuse bulky Water-types and special walls. In particular, Pikachu loves getting a free switch-in against Pokemon like Mareanie or Wartortle, and it can luring in bulky Grass-types like Tangela or Ferroseed and to Knock Off their Eviolite, which makes it easier for Seadra to push through them later on and target Seadra’s counter Palpitoad with Grass Knot. (Special def palpitoad walls seadra and prevents it from pivoting out via water absorb, so it deserves a mention. Knock support debilitating eviolite walls is implied.) Machoke is a solid option as well, especially variants with Earthquake or Flame Orb + Facade that can beat Mareanie and Specially Defensive Roselia. Seadra also benefits a lot from entry hazards like Spikes, which help it to wear down its checks. Ferroseed makes for an especially good partner, as it can take advantage of many bulky Water- and Grass-types like Brionne and Thwackey that force Seadra out to set up Spikes entry hazards (Examples, but thwackey needed to be mentioned somewhere as a check as grassy glide is very concerning for seadra. ferro can run either sr / spikes, and while you’re making a point about spikes specifically, I think the previous sentence implies that, and this wording is more inclusive to other teambuilding avenues). Seadra doesn't often many find opportunities to switch in, so Pokemon with pivoting moves like U-turn Raboot, Parting Shot Galarian Linoone, or Volt Switch Klang can be used to get Seadra in safely.

Looks great, only thing is you missed two changes in the last sentence of the first paragraph. I'll repost the sentence with the changes so you can be sure to make them.

Flip Turn can be used on predicted switches to Pokemon that wall Seadra, particularly bulky Water-types and Ferroseed, to chip chipping them down and retaining momentum.
 
implemented. like i said on discord i think this change makes the sentence read worse but i dont really want to fight about it lol
