Surskit is the best user of Sticky Web due to its Speed tier and good coverage moves it has to punish spinners. Icy Wind prevents setup sweepers from using Surskit as setup fodder while also hitting Toedscool hard. Giga Drain hits Quaxly hard to punish its spin attempts. Tera Ghost is for blocking Rapid Spin attempts from the aforementioned Quaxly and Toedscool. Wattrel or a Ground-type like Mudbray is necessary to pressure Taunt Voltorb, which can threaten Surskit and prevent its Sticky Web from being set. Other partners are Pawniard, which can punish Defog attempts while also taking advantage of Sticky Web and boosting with Swords Dance. Crabrawler threatens opposing Pawniard and Toedscool while being able to sweep with Bulk Up. Hisuian Zorua can sweep with Nasty Plot or burn checks to the aforementioned Crabrawler and Pawniard with Will-O-Wisp while also removing Eviolite with Knock Off. Most notably, both variants block Rapid Spin to ensure Stick Web stays up. All of these Pokemon appreciate Sticky Web limiting fast revenge killers like Voltorb, allowing them to begin their sweep.

This will need some work. This analysis doesn't really describe Surskit's role; it's not sweeping with strong STABs and good coverage, it's a suicide lead that sets Sticky Web and dies. The checks/counters section should talk about foes that stop it from setting up/can remove them, and the teammates section should talk about strong webs abusers. This also has a good amount of fluff that can be taken out; you can assume that the reader knows what the moves on the set do (e.g Sticky Web's effect) and what a Pokemon's STABs hit. Please revise this accordingly and ping me here or in Discord for a full check.

Surskit is the best user of Sticky Web, due to its Speed tier, as well as good coverage moves to punish Rapid Spinners. Icy Wind is an option that prevents set-up sweepers from setting up freely. Tera Ghost is for blocking Rapid Spin attempts from Quaxly and Toedscool. Surskit needs to be wary of Diglett with Rock Blast that can KO through Focus Sash. (Change to an explanation of what the bulky spread does, e.g always live up to 4 Rock Blast hits from LO Dig. Ask in #qc with any questions) In addition, Pokemon with moves such as Defog or Rapid Spin can remove Sticky Web. (Provide examples) Pawniard's Defiant is activated upon switching in with Sticky Web active. Recommended partners are Pokemon that punish or prevent these strategies. (Pawniard threatens webs teams in general but doesn't really stop Surskit from setting webs; instead, talk about things that do like Taunt Voltorb) Pawniard punishes Defog attempts while boosting with Swords Dance. Crabrawler threatens opposing Pawniard, Diglett, Defog Drifloon (bad example imo since it relies on a Speed tie) and Toedscool and can sweep with Bulk Up. Nasty Plot Hisuian Zorua (no hyphen) is a sweeper that blocks Rapid Spin and can disguise as Surskit, Pawniard or Crabrawler in order to trick the opponent. (What does that accomplish?)

I would mention somewhere in here that all of these Pokemon benefit from Sticky Web's effect in general.

Surskit is the best user of Sticky Web, due to its Speed tier, as well as good coverage moves to punish Rapid Spinners. Icy Wind prevents set-up sweepers from setting up freely while hitting Toedscool hard.(Add a sentence on Giga Drain.) Tera Ghost is for blocking Rapid Spin attempts from Quaxly and Toedscool. Surskit's heavy bulk investment means Diglett with Rock Blast cannot KO it with consistently which would otherwise destroy the Focus Sash set. In addition, Pokemon with moves such as Defog or Rapid Spin can remove Sticky Web such Drifloon, Quaxly and Toedscool.(I think this is obvious.) Taunt Voltorb prevents Sticky Web from being set up. The best counterplay is to have a Ground type, such as Mudbray, to come in and threaten out the Voltorb to set Sticky Web on something else. A Ground-type like Mudbray or Diglett is necessary to pressure Taunt Voltorb, which can threaten Surskit and prevent Sticky Web from being set. Other recommended partners are Pawniard, which can punish Defog attempts while boosting with Swords Dance. Crabrawler threatens opposing Pawniard, Diglett, and Toedscool while being able to sweep with Bulk Up. Nasty Plot Hisuian Zorua is a sweeper that blocks Rapid Spin and can disguise as Pawniard or another set up sweeper in order to trick the opponent into giving you free turns to facilitate a sweep.(This information isn't really pertinent to support Surskit. I would much rather mention the utility that it provides with its supportive options that can facilitate other setup sweepers.) All of these Pokemon appreciate the opponent being slower than them thanks to Sticky Web, which makes fast counterplay from Pokemon such as Voltorb and Diglett signficantly harder to utilize effectively Sticky Web limiting fast revenge killers like Voltorb and Diglett.

QC 2/2. [DC, 449990]. Fix some of the easy GP errors like "Rapid Spinners" to "spinners", "set-up" to "setup", and "opponent" to "foe" before sending to the queue.
