Choice Specs Tapu Koko makes use of its fast Speed and explosive power to act as a great early-game wallbreaker, dealing out large damage even against neutral targets like Tapu Lele, Gholdengo, and Zapdos. Tapu Koko's Speed allows it to outspeed Pokemon already considered fast, such as Ogerpon-W, Mega Diancie, and Mega Charizard Y. As Tapu Koko breaks down walls like Alomomola and Slowbro, Pokemon like Hawlucha can use that opportunity to clean up easily late-game. Either Volt Switch or U-turn allows Tapu Koko to exert pressure while providing pivoting for the team, with the former being a respectable offensive move itself, while the latter is undeterred by Ground-types such as Garchomp. Hidden Power Ice allows Tapu Koko to do massive damage to Ground-types such as Landorus-T and Great Tusk, notably OHKOing Landorus-T.

Tapu Koko fits best on offensive teams, as its Speed, wallbreaking power, and pivoting options are most appreciated by its offensively minded teammates. Due to Tapu Koko's Electric Terrain and its wallbreaking prowess, Quark Drive Pokemon are the clearest beneficiaries, especially those that seek to sweep late-game like Swords Dance Iron Valiant and Iron Moth. Other sweepers also synergize with Tapu Koko, largely since it puts major pressure on some of their checks. For example, Hawlucha appreciates the removal of Slowbro, Moltres, and Toxapex, while Dragonite appreciates the removal of Corviknight and Moltres. Tapu Koko's STAB moves can be walled by several Pokemon, such as Clodsire, Ferrothorn, and Iron Treads. As a result, it appreciates help from the likes of Mega Medicham, Weavile, and Great Tusk. Mega Medicham especially makes for a fierce wallbreaking duo with Tapu Koko, with the former able to dismantle Galarian Slowking and Ferrothorn, two Pokemon that can easily wall Tapu Koko. In return, Tapu Koko can pressure Pokemon that Mega Medicham may struggle to hit, notably Gholdengo and Slowbro.

Choice Specs Tapu Koko makes use of its fast Speed Mention what it outspeeds here as it it has a very respectable speed tier. along with explosive power afforded by Choice Specs to act as a great early game wallbreaker for its teammates, dealing out large damage even against neutral targets like who?. As Tapu Koko breaks down walls like Alomomola Slowbro deserves a mention here as well, Pokemon like Hawlucha, can use that opportunity to clean up easier in the endgame. Volt Switch's pivoting allows Tapu Koko to ease prediction from opponents switching, allowing Tapu Koko's teammates to easily reposition.. Hidden Power Ice allows Tapu Koko to KO common Ground-types even if they’re still relatively healthy, notably putting pressure on Landorus-T and Great Tusk. restructure this last sentence something like Hidden Power Ice grants Tapu Koko do massive damage to Ground types such as Landorus-T and Great Tusk. (it KOs Landorus as well mention that.)

Due to Tapu Koko’s Electric Terrain, Quark Drive Pokemon are the clearest beneficiaries of Tapu Koko, especially those who seek to sweep in the endgame Don’t forget to mention the team structures this Tapu koko fits on as well. Notable examples include setup Iron Valiant variants and Iron Moth. Moreover, other sweeping Pokemon synergize with Tapu Koko, largely since Tapu Koko puts major pressure on some of their walls checks. For example, the aforementioned Hawlucha appreciates the removal of Alomomola, Moltres, and Gholdengo This does a lot to Gholdengo which is true but it still feels like a strange mention I think you can put Pex here instead, while Dragonite appreciates the removal of Corviknight and Moltres. Tapu Koko’s STAB combination can be walled by several Pokemon, such as Clodsire, Ferrothorn, and Iron Treads, and it may struggle to damage special walls such as Mega Tyranitar Mega Ttar is not a wall and Gleam still does significant damage so I suggest removing this. As a result, it appreciates help from the likes of Mega Medicham, Weavile, and Iron Treads. Mega Medicham especially makes for a fierce wallbreaking duo with Tapu Koko, with the former able to dismantle Clodsire Galarian Slowking more relevant it doesn’t exactly wall it as most does not run slack off but it switches in constantly and force Koko out so it still needs a mention here.and Ferrothorn, two Pokemon that can easily wall Tapu Koko. In return, Tapu Koko can help with the Flying-type Pokemon that Mega Medicham may struggle to hit, notably Moltres and its contact-punishing Flame Body. While Moltres does threaten Flame Body medi doesn’t struggle with it persay as Zen still does significant damage. You can mention that Koko applies pressure to medi checks like Gholdengo

Choice Specs Tapu Koko makes use of its fast Speed along with explosive power afforded by Choice Specs to act as a great early game wallbreaker for its teammates, dealing out large damage even against neutral targets like Tapu Lele, Gholdengo, and Zapdos. 130 Base Speed outspeeds Pokemon already considered fast, such as Ogerpon-Wellspring, Mega Diancie, and Mega Charizard Y. As Tapu Koko breaks down walls like Alomomola and Slowbro, Pokemon like Hawlucha, can use that opportunity to clean up easier in the endgame. One of either Volt Switch or U-Turn allows Tapu Koko to exert pressure while providing pivoting for the team, with the former being a respectable offensive move itself while the latter being undeterred by Ground-types such as Garchomp. Hidden Power Ice allows Tapu Koko to do massive damage to Ground-types such as Landorus-T and Great Tusk, notably OHKOing Landorus-T.

Due to Tapu Koko’s Electric Terrain, Quark Drive Pokemon are the clearest beneficiaries of Tapu Koko, especially those who seek to sweep in the endgame mention how koko is a great wallbreaker for them in general; also what type of team archetype does koko fit on? offense? balance?. Notable examples include setup Iron Valiant variants Swords Dance Iron Valiant and Iron Moth. Moreover, other sweeping Pokemon synergize with Tapu Koko, largely since Tapu Koko puts major pressure on some of their checks. For example, the aforementioned Hawlucha appreciates the removal of Alomomola Slowbro alomomola gets walled by substitute variants, Moltres, and Toxapex, while Dragonite appreciates the removal of Corviknight and Moltres. Tapu Koko’s STAB combination can be walled by several Pokemon, such as Clodsire, Ferrothorn, and Iron Treads. As a result, it appreciates help from the likes of Mega Medicham, Weavile, and Iron Treads Great Tusk treads does not break past ferrothorn and mentioning it twice is a bit clunky. Mega Medicham especially makes for a fierce wallbreaking duo with Tapu Koko, with the former able to dismantle Galarian Slowking and Ferrothorn, two Pokemon that can easily wall Tapu Koko. In return, Tapu Koko’s wallbreaking power can pressure Pokemon that Mega Medicham may struggle to hit, notably Gholdengo and Slowbro, who wall its STABs. filler

Choice Specs Tapu Koko makes use of its fast Speed along with and explosive power afforded by Choice Specs (Choice Specs was mentioned once) to act as a great early game early-game wallbreaker for its teammates (its going to support its teammates only so this is self-explanatory), dealing out large damage even against neutral targets like Tapu Lele, Gholdengo, and Zapdos.

where I replace your "Koko’s" with my own version, I replace the curly apostrophe with an ASCII one- just copy my version
GP Team done

btw, here is a video for how to implement gp checks with minimal errors:
this thread can be helpful too in general https://www.smogon.com/forums/threa...-for-writers-new-writers-please-read.3759493/

also I just attached a video on how to implement gp changes in my post, I noticed you missed a bunch of edits here
yeah for some reason my brain just skipped over the other edits in paragraph 1 lol, they should be there now

thx for the video and link, I've seen the copyedit implementation method, but I'm still getting used to using that method

edit: pretty sure I need to tag mods now red fintans Ineros Solaros & Lunaris

You're still missing a few edits here:
Tapu Koko fits best on offensive teams, as its Speed speed
Quark Drive Pokemon are the clearest beneficiaries, especially those that seek to sweep in the late-game

The apostrophes also haven't been fixed because you're not directly copying what adorluigi wrote.

If the video itself is difficult to follow, the text explanaiton is:
1. Click 'copyedit' on adorluigi's post with the GP check in it. This then puts it in the box where you write a new post.
2. Go through that post and remove all red text and address all yellow comments (then remove them).
3. Highlight the whole post and remove formatting using the eraser button (top left corner next to bold).
4. Paste that back into the original post.

This means that the check is directly in the new post box, so you're always working with the check that’s been written and not reading across / trying to eyeball edits. This guarantees that small fixes like capitalisation and the apostrophe changes make it into the original post.
 
will wait before uploading this until the above is resolved, feel free to dm me questions, changed thread flair to copyediting for now
 
I hate the fact that my braindead ass thought that (for some edits) red meant add and blue meant delete instead of what it actually meant (no I am not kidding)
The apostrophes also haven't been fixed because you're not directly copying what adorluigi wrote.
weird, I 100% copied what they wrote, and the apostrophes seem to be correct on my side.

anyways it should be good now unless I screwed up the copyediting method too
