Spectrier @ Ghostium Z / Fairium Z
Name: Z-Move Wallbreaker
Ability: Grim Neigh
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Shadow Ball
- Draining Kiss
- Substitute

[SET COMMENTS]
With a stellar ability in Grim Neigh, monstrous Special Attack and Speed stats, and good coverage, Spectrier has cemented itself as a premier threat residing in Ghost's shadows. Draining Kiss gives Spectrier a tool to threaten Dark-types such as Hydreigon and Weavile and excellent neutral coverage, as well as a method of recovery. When paired with Fairium Z, Draining Kiss also lets Spectrier be an amazing asset against Normal teams; the move allows it to beat Porygon2 and Blissey, while a Nasty Plot-boosted Twinkle Tackle dispatches the likes of Diggersby and Hisuian Zoroark. Substitute takes advantage of the switches Spectrier forces so it can boost more easily and protects Spectrier from being easily revenge killed or statused. Mimikyu and Spectrier make for a fearsome duo; Spectrier pressures many of Mimikyu's checks such as Toxapex and Corviknight, and Mimikyu threatens the likes of Tyranitar and Ting-Lu. Choice Scarf Blacephalon takes advantage of Spectrier's wallbreaking to more easily clean late game. It also picks off faster Pokemon like Mega Lopunny and Deoxys-Speed for Spectrier. Mega Sableye is an excellent switch-in to most Ghost-type attacks aimed at Spectrier thanks to its typing and bulk and serves as an entry hazard deterrent thanks to Magic Bounce. Entry hazard setters like Galarian Corsola and Froslass are great partners to help Spectrier net more KOs. Skeledirge disrupts physical attackers like Mega Scizor and Rillaboom with Will-O-Wisp and wears down defensive switch-ins to Spectrier with Torch Song and Hex.

[SET COMMENTS]
With a stellar ability, monstrous special attack and speed stats, and access to new coverage moves, Spectrier has cemented itself as a primer premier threat residing in the shadows of the Ghost-type. (I would generally reword this to be less blurb-y, since this feels like a POTW Opening and we want Analyses to be a bit more professional than POTWs, or just remove/edit the "residing in the shadows" part tbh) Shadow ball is Spectier's primary attacking stab, and Draining Kiss is the newest addition to Spectrier's movepool that removes it's weakness against (Doesn't "remove" its weakness since its just a move) gives it a tool to threaten Dark-types such as Hydreigon and Weavile, enables Spectrier to have unresisted special coverage, (Don't think this is necessary as Draining Kiss is often not strong enough) and well as givinges it passive recovery in the absence of leftovers. Nasty Plot elevates Spectrier's damage output to nearly un-stopable levels, while Calm Mind trades a small amount of immediate power for higher bulk and more reliable sustainability when paired with Draining Kiss. Substitute gives Spectrier some needed protection to enable its set up its aforementioned set up options, and protects Spectrier from being easily revenge killed pr Pursuit Trapped. (Uh most pursuit users break sub anyway and stuff like Kingambit and MTtar don't lose to Draining Kiss) Maximum Special Attacking and Speed Ev's are used to capitalize on Spectrier's potency. (No need to mention EVs if they don't do anything specific, and this is just basic Max-Max) Mimikyu and Spectrier make for a fearsome duo that cover both offensive fronts, Spectier pressuring many of Mimikyu's checks such as Toxapex and Corviknight, and Mimikyu threatening the likes of Tyranitar and Blissey. Galarian Corsuola provides redsidual damage in the form of Stealth Rock and Night Shade and Will-o-Wisp (Night Shade doesn't count as "residual" damage), softening crippling ("hindering" is also fine here) many of Spectrier's checks such as Mega Scizor and Rotom-Wash Urshifu-Rapid-Strike. Mega Sableye provides an excellent switch-in to opposing Ghost-types such as Gholdengo and Hisuian Zoroark, as well as being a Knock Off sponge, and Entry Hazard deterrent in the form of with its access to Magic Bounce. Spectrier returns the favour by outspeeding and killing both Mega Sableye and Galarian Corsuola's checks, such as Tapu Lele and Landorus, Mega Diancie and Greninja.

Some Notes:
- Mention Ting-Lu in the part where you talk about Draining Kiss healing
- Mention what the Z-Moves are used to break, stuff like pex, ferro, melm for Ghostium and mandibuzz, goltres, hands for Fairium.
- Mention Gholdengo can clean up after spectrier and soften checks like ttar and scarf weavile, slow down opponents with twave and can cripple defensive switchins like pex, blissey etc with trick choice scarf.
- Mention Skeledirge/Blace/Ceruledhe as teammates which can deal with SpDef Tran and Steela and Melm
- Mention Horoark as a ghost-type switchin and cleaner, can mention illusion mindgames too

That's All!

Substitute gives Spectrier some needed protection to enable it's set up it's aforementioned set up options, and protects Spectrier from being easily revenge killed or pr Pursuit Trapped (wont it still be pursuited since pursuit breaks sub and pursuiters just kill it anyway?).

Mimikyu and Spectrier make for a fearsome duo that cover both offensive fronts, Spectier pressuring many of Mimikyu's checks such as Toxapex and Corviknight, and Mimikyu threatening the likes of Tyranitar and Blissey.

*Recheck spelling on mons btw (Saw Spectier and Corsula). Also add choice scarf users which help spectrier, and skeledirge who exists for Kingambit. Maybe Bramb can also be mentioned alongside G.Corsola since it spins and sets hazards anyway still

Checks Implimented. The Spectrier Pursit-Dodge is like how Mega Latias would flee from Ttar/Weavile/Kingambit in regular OU, using the sub to mitigate the immediate damage and allow it to stay live for longer.

Draining Kiss is the newest addition to Spectrier's movepool that gives it a tool to threaten Dark-types such as Hydreigon and Weavile, enables Spectrier to have unresisted special coverage, and gives it passive recovery in the absence of leftovers. Drainking Kiss when Paired with Fairium Z enables Spectrier to bring more against Normal Teams, being able to threaten Mega Lopunny and Porygon2 with large instances of damage (I think you dont need to mention normal teams, or if you want, add that you probably use CM if you want to stay consistent against P2, which would otherwise break your sub. Move this entire line somewhere else in that case). Nasty Plot elevates Spectrier's damage output to nearly un-stopable levels, allowing Draining Kiss to become potent even without Fairium Z, nearly OHKOing the aforementioned Mega Lopunny and leeching back important health from threats such as Iron Hands and Tornadus-Therian, while Calm Mind trades a small amount of immediate power for higher bulk and more reliable sustainability when paired with Draining Kiss (like, after this sentence). Substitute gives Spectrier some needed protection to enable it's set up its aforementioned set up options and protects Spectrier from being easily revenge killed or Pursuit Trapped (still sort of unconvinced in the pursuit trap, since wouldnt you just raw swap out before the guy hits the field? It feels like a waste of HP if you're anticipating that). Maximum Special Attacking and Speed Ev's are used to capitalize on Spectrier's potency. (Not needed anymore) Mimikyu and Spectrier make for a fearsome duo that cover both offensive fronts, Spectier pressuring many of Mimikyu's checks such as Toxapex and Corviknight, and Mimikyu threatening the likes of Tyranitar and Blissey. Galarian Corsula (Corsola, not Corsula) provides redidual damage in the form of Stealth Rock and Night Shade, crippling many of Spectrier's checks such as Mega Scizor (Knock Off smelly) Dragonite and Urshifu-Rapid-Strike. Choice Scarfers such as Gengar and Blacephalon take adventage advantage of Spectier's wallbreaking ability, Safely revenging any opponent that Spectier has failed to KO (or through cleaning, when spec already nuked their ghost check). Mega Sableye provides an excellent switch in to opposing ghost types such as Gholdengo (M.Sab can turn into setup food for Ghold.)and Hisuian Zoroark, as well as being a Knock Off Sponge and a Entry hazard deterent in the form of Magic Bounce. Spectrier returns the favor by outspeeding and defeating both Mega Sableye and Galarian Corsula's checks, such as Tapu Lele and Landorus. Spectrier appreciates Skeledirge disrupting physical attackers like Kingambit Mega Scizor and Dragonite (use someone else) with Will-o-Wisp, as well as putting holes in defensive switchins with Torch Song and Hex.

Nasty Plot elevates Spectrier's damage output to nearly un-stopable levels, allowing Draining Kiss to become potent even without Fairium Z, nearly OHKOing Mega Lopunny and leeching back important health from threats such as Iron Hands and Tornadus-Therian, while Calm Mind trades a small amount of immediate power for higher bulk and more reliable sustainability when paired with Draining Kiss. (Calm Mind is going to be a separate set, and there's no need to describe the setup move at all. draining kiss stuff makes more sense to be included in its description) Draining Kiss is the newest addition to Spectrier's movepool that (again, old gens reference) gives it Spectrier a tool to threaten Dark-types such as Hydreigon and Weavile, enables Spectrier to have unresisted special excellent neutral coverage, and gives it passive as well as a method of recovery. in the absence of leftovers.

Substitute gives Spectrier some needed protection to enable it's set up its aforementioned set up options and takes advantage of the switches Spectrier forces so it can boost more easily, and protects Spectrier from being easily revenge killed or Pursuit Trapped statused (like the Pursuit collocation but... you're still prone to it).

Galarian Corsola provides redidual damage in the form of Stealth Rock and Night Shade, crippling many of Spectrier's checks such as Mega Pinsir, Dragonite and Urshifu-Rapid-Strike.

With a stellar ability in Grim Neigh, monstrous Special Attack and Speed stats, and good coverage, Spectrier has cemented itself as a primer premier threat residing in Ghost's shadows not the most clear what you meant here (underlined)-i believe you mean a premier threat for Ghost teams?. Draining Kiss gives Spectrier a tool to threaten Dark-types such as Hydreigon and Weavile (rc) and excellent neutral coverage, as well as a method of recovery. When paired with Fairium Z, Draining Kiss also lets Spectrier be an amazing asset against Normal teams; the move allows it to beat Porygon2 and Blissey,(ac) while a (optionally suggesting this, since the move has yet to be mentioned and isn't below) Nasty Plot-boosted Twinkle Tackle dispatches the likes of Diggersby and Hisuian Zoroark. Substitute takes advantage of the switches Spectrier forces so it can boost more easily and protects Spectrier from being easily revenge killed or statused. Mimikyu and Spectrier make for a fearsome duo; (comma->semicolon) Spectrier pressures many of Mimikyu's checks such as Toxapex and Corviknight, and Mimikyu threatens the likes of Tyranitar and Ting-Lu. Choice Scarf Blacephalon takes advantage of Spectrier's wallbreaking to more easily clean late-game (added hyphen). It also picks off faster Pokemon like Mega Lopunny and Deoxys-Speed for Spectrier. Mega Sableye is an excellent switch into switch-in to most Ghost-type attacks aimed at Spectrier thanks to its typing and bulk and serves as an entry hazard deterrent thanks to Magic Bounce. Entry hazard setters like Galarian Corsola and Froslass are great partners to help Spectrier net more kills KOs. Skeledirge disrupts physical attackers like Mega Scizor and Rillaboom with Will-o-Wisp Will-O-Wisp and wears down defensive switch-ins (added hyphen) to Spectrier with Torch Song and Hex.
