[SET COMMENTS]
At first glance, Silicobra looks like an underwhelming Pokemon in the LC metagame, though it does have some traits that can give it a small niche. The main draw of Silicobra being that it is one of two Pokemon with access to Glare meaning that it can function as a way of speed control for a team by spreading accurate paralysis. Its decent physical bulk combined with a Ground-typing and access to Coil also makes Silicobra a decent check to some physical attackers like Onix, Drilbur, and Timburr. The given EV spread allows it to take two Close Combats from Galarian Farfetch'd while maximizing Silicobra's physical bulk.

Silicobra needs partners to handle Grass- and Water-types that threaten it such as Chinchou and Wingull. Ferroseed is an excellent partner for Silicobra, as it can handle Chinchou and its hazard support can help rack up damage with Silicobra's Glare forcing switches. Chinchou also works as a general Water-type check, also adding Volt Switch momentum that can get Silicobra in on an opponent that it can set up on. It also can threaten the Flying-types that Silicobra cannot touch with Earthquake. Croagunk is also a great partner for Silicobra, taking both Water- and Grass-type attacks and threatening those Pokemon with powerful STAB moves while also benefitting from Silicobra's ability to slow down faster threats.

got caught up in the holidays, should be worth a read now
also changed the original EV spread to basically max Defense to be able to set up on Farfetch'd, though idk if that's necessary

Amcheck time, implement what you want

Set is pretty cool, although pretty weak to any special attacks; might be worth putting 16/14 defences on

Set comments
I would mention Rest and Shed Skin in the first para as that is really good albeit slightly unreliable recovery
Mention Pawniard and/or Dwebble over Drilbur as one of the mons it checks
Maybe change the last sentence to something like "the given EV spread allows it to setup on fighting types such as Galarian Farfetch'd" - imo details like 2hkos from X mon should be saved for full analyses

Mention a grass type at the start of para 2, the best rn is Oddish - Ferro checks this which helps your next sentence
Remove the double "also" in the Chinchou sentence- actually you have 5 "also" in 3 sentences, remove some of them
Mention a flying type, Wingull could be mentioned here or Vullaby
This section doesnt mention anything that benefits from Silicobra (except the brief mention for Croagunk at the end). Flying types like Vull appreciate it switching into Rock types.
