[SET COMMENTS]
Keldeo boasts having the most Special Attack out of any Water-type in the metagame. Paired with its amazing STAB moves such as Focus Blast and Hydro Pump, it packs quite the punch, with the former dealing with Corviknight, Dracovish, and Ferrothorn and the latter dealing with Ground, Fire, and Rock-types such as Excadrill, Incineroar, and Rhyperior. Secret Sword is a more reliable Fighting-type move for Keldeo to beat less physically bulky Dark-types like Tyranitar, Hydreigon, and Bisharp. Icy Wind is for Dragon-types such as Haxorus and Kommo-o. Thanks to the HP and Defense investment, Keldeo can survive Haxorus's Outrage, Cinderace's +1 Reversal, and Dragapult's Draco Meteor. With 68 Special Attack EVs, Focus Blast OHKOes Snorlax. However, there are more benchmarks bulk-wise that Keldeo can follow: running220 HP / 112 Def lets Keldeo survive hits from Modest Choice Specs Dragapult, Adamant Cinderace, and Haxorus; 96 HP / 172 Def lets Keldeo beat Timid Dragapult, Jolly Cinderace, and Haxorus; and 216 HP / 88 Def lets Keldeo beat Modest Dragapult, Jolly Cinderace, and Haxorus.

Keldeo struggles with Grass-types such as Celebi, Rotom-C, and Venusaur, so Fire-types such as Incineroar, Cinderace, and Darmanitan can all deal with them. In return, Keldeo is able to deal with Ground-types and Rock-types, such as Rhyperior, Tyranitar, and Crustle. Keldeo can be exploited by Substitute users like Reversal Cinderace and Disable Dragapult. Some Pokemon that can handle these would be Gastrodon, Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan, and Encore Primarina. Keldeo also has a weakness to Electric-types, like Zeraora, Dracozolt, and Toxtricity, as they can OHKO it. Ground-types such as Choice Scarf Diggersby and Rhyperior can deal with them. Keldeo provides help by being able to deal with Steel-types that these two examples fail to break like Corviknight and Ferrothorn.

Keldeo boasts having the most Speed and Special Attack out of any Water-type in the metagame. (Inteleon has greater speed) Paired with its amazing STAB moves such as Focus Blast and Hydro Pump it packs quite the punch, the former dealing with reliability (70% chance to hit isn't super reliable + you have to hit 2 vs corvi + draco + ferro) against Corviknight, Dracovish, and Ferrothorn, and the latter dealing with Ground-types, Fire-types, and Rock-types such as Excadrill, Incineroar, and Rhyperior. Secret Sword is a more reliable way for Keldeo to beat Dark-types like Tyranitar, Hydriegon, and Bisharp. Icy Wind is for Dragon-types such as Haxorus and Kommo-o. Thanks to the HP and Defense EVs Keldeo is able to withstand Outrage from a Choice Band Haxorus and able to 2hko right back with Icy Wind. The Speed EVs are to speed creep Hydreigon, the rest are dumped into Special Attack.

Keldeo struggles with Grass-types such as Celebi, Rotom-Mow, and Venusaur, so Fire-types such as Incineroar, Cinderance, and Darmanitan can all deal with those Grass-types. In return, Keldeo is able to deal with Ground-types and Rock-Types, such as Rhyperior, Tyranitar, and Crustle. Keldeo can be exploited by substitute tactics like Reversal Cinderance and Disable Dragapult. Some Pokemon that can handle these would be Scarf Darmanitan-Galar, Gastrodon, and non-specs Primarina. Keldeo also has a weakness of Electric. Electric-types such as Zeraora, Dracozolt, and Toxtricity can OHKO Keldeo. Ground-types such as Scarf Diggersby and Rhyperior can deal with them. Keldeo provides help by being able to deal with Steel-types that these two fail to break like Corviknight and Ferrothorn.

[QC 1/2]

e: pazza please change evs to
EVs: 12 HP / 236 Def / 84 SpA / 176 Spe
Timid Nature
you can also mention that an alternate set is with 220/112 hp/def for ada cinder reversal and modest pult meteor
This is optimal for what we are ev'ed for. Also, Keldeo is both outsped by inteleon AND has a lower SpA stat than Wishiwash-School, so we can just take out that entire first second in favor of something similarly introductory that doesn't misconvey info. please implement these changes prior to gp check

QC 2/2, good work
qc-pqs-small-gif.209753
 
pazza the evs need fixing.

Your main spread can be EVs: 84 HP / 180 Def / 68 SpA / 176 Spe Timid Nature. This
-lives haxorus Outrage
-lives Dragapults's Draco Meteor
-lives cinderace's +1 reversal
-OHKOes Snorlax with Focus Blast (before it was a slight roll not to)
However, there are more benchmarks bulk-wise that Keldeo can follow that should be included. Running 220/112 HP/Def lets you live a modest specs Dragapult and Adamant Cinderace + haxorus, 96/172 is the optimized spread to beat both Timid Dragapult + jolly cinderace + haxorus, and 216/88 is the optimized spread to beat modest Dragapult, jolly cinderace, and haxorus. When more bulk is run, Spa is lost out on for rolls.

mention these benchmarks in the bottom of the first paragraphs
 
Hi, amcheck here. Feel free to implement whatever you agree with, particularly the part about the EVs, as that was a bit confusing :)
