Is that a bird? A plane? No, it's Solrock! Solrock is a fierce sweeper that can set up on some common defensive Pokemon such as Muk or even offensive Pokemon like non-Taunt Emolga, Muk, and Persian thanks to its natural typing. After a Rock Polish, it outspeeds the whole tier and can then threaten neutral damage thanks to the combination of Stone Edge + Earthquake hitting common foes such as Simisear, Heatmor, Emolga, Pawniard, Raichu, and Lairon hard. To facilitate its sweeping capabilities, Solrock opts for Flying Gem-boosted Acrobatics, which lets in muscle past would-be checks that can take one hit from Solrock such as Leafeon and Mienfoo. With a bit of chip damage, it can even KO bulkier foes such as Meganium and Ivysaur. Solrock is best used on offensive teams that can weaken foes to let it sweep in late-game scenarios where its checks such as Clefairy, Wormadam-S, and opposing defensive Solrock have been weakened. It appreciates having partners that can come in safely on those Pokemon such as Muk, Simisear, and Grumpig. It also appreciates Grass-type partners such as Meganium that can come in safely on would-be offensive checks such as Kingler and Whiscash.

Is that a bird ? A plane ? No it's Solrock! Solrock is a fierce sweeper that can set up on some common defensive Pokemon such as Muk or even offensive Pokemon like Emolga (true but takes a lot to uturn or even can get taunted... so it is not that clear), Arbok (ok but seed bomb, sucker punch, intimidate... everything is annoying) and Persian (uturn is also annoying but is better than emolga) Overall I would pick other examples like Muk over Arbok and maybe say non-taunt Emolga thanks to it's natural typing. After a Rock Polish it outspeed the whole tier in a single turn. It can then threaten neutral damage on the whole tier thanks to the combinasion of EdgeQuake hitting hard some common foes such as Simisear, Heatmor, Emolga for Stone edge and Pawniard, Emolga, Raichu and Lairon. To facilitate it's sweeping capabilities, Solrock opts for Acrobatics boosted by the Flying Gem which is very powerful and lets in muscle past would be checks that can take one hit such as Leafon and Mienfoo. With a bit of chip damage it can even KO bulkier foes such as Meganium and Ivysaur. Solrock has its best uses on offensive teams which can weaken those foes to let it sweep in an endgame scenariorio where its checks such as Clefairy, Wormadam-S and opposing defensive Solrock have been weakened. It appreciates having partners that can come in safely on those Pokemon such as Muk, Simisear and Grumpig for the aforementioned checks. However, it also appreciates Grass type partners examples like Meganium? that can come in safely on would be offensive checks to it such as Kingler and Wiscash.

I had to make a lot of changes here because there was a lot of repetitive writing + to put this in line with the GP standards; please tag me if you have any questions. Thanks
