Why does the pikachu analysis specifically mention m Dian as a mon it can’t switch into it can switch into it as well as any other mon. https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/pikachu/bh/

Many pokemon are [not] self improofing, meaning impostor mons like pikachu have an entry point vs them. mega diancie is usually self-improofing, able to damage an impostor pikachu enough to dispatch it entirely, so that’s why it’s mentioned here specifically as something Pikachu can’t switch into

Hey on the analysis of mega swampert Blacephalon doesn’t link to its analysis while mega beedrill, the Pokémon next to it with an unfinished analysis links https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/swampert/bh/ why is that?

only the first instance of a mon's name links to its analysis. note that blacephalon does have a working link in the second sentence, and miraidon links in the second sentence -> doesn't link in the second to last sentence.

Wait there’s a little errror in my own latest analysis https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/miraidon/bh/ “thunder cage + torch song lets miraidon most steel types well” is suppose to have a word like damage in between miraidon and most

From the looks of it, you accidentally deleted "damage" while implementing the GP check. In future, just reply to the GP check post, sort out all of the coloured text, remove all formatting using the eraser icon, and paste over the OP.

Why does it mention kyogre checking palkia o when you take extreme damage from denergy and can’t threaten back much particularly against magic guard variants

palkia simply ceases functioning if parad / if non-mg gets poisoned, plus the mon's job is ultimately a pivot and not a wall; its goal is to take the extreme damage so the offensive mon switching in to chase palkia out doesn't

Nitpick but for the Fc set the line "Ting-Lu struggles against Mega Lucario and Ash-Greninja, so backup checks like Fur Coat Celesteela are mandatory" can sound a bit misleading / wrong, while yes fc celesteela can help against the aforementioned pokemon it isnt a check, mixed mega lucario sets just ohko it with Electro Drift, while Band sets can 2hko with bolt strike but have to risk being burned by beak blast. Ash-greninja is more wallable u could say as it doesnt 2hko celesteela but with some chip / entry hazards theres a high likely hood of being 2hkoed. (Atleast for Ash Greninja celesteela does have rocky helmet (most of the time* as sometimes u can run like cloak from what ive seen) which can stop it almost completely)

Change Teras on Offensive Pivot set from Grass/Flying to Grass/Water/Fairy (flying defensive utility is not worth the tradeoff of becoming a stealth rock weak pivot)
Change EVs on Offensive pivot set to something bulkier; something like
200 hp / 252+ spA / 56 spe, as the speed is quite redundant (most things with lower base speed than magneton bar decidueye-hisui don't go max speed anyway) and without HP investment magnetons defensive utility becomes much worse
In choice specs section, remove orthworm from 'mons that synergise with magneton, that is simply not a viable core
Either remove choice scarf set entirely or put it in other options as it gets outsped by every other scarfer, has mediocre output and also gets outsped by Jolteon while having very poor defensive utility without eviolite and HP investment
