When used with a Choice Band, Syclant becomes an extremely strong wallbreaker and pivot by virtue of its powerful STAB U-turns and signature ability Mountaineer, which allows it to ignore Stealth Rock and come into play often. Icicle Crash allows Syclant to pressure the likes of Clefable, Tomohawk, and Seismitoad. Earthquake is mandatory, as it gives Syclant the ability to break through the metagame's common Poison-types in Toxapex and Mollux, which otherwise would completely wall Syclant. Ice Shard further enhances Syclant's ability to act as a revenge killer and enables it to pick off Pokemon such as Dragapult, Necturna, and Choice Scarf Hydreigon, provided they are slightly weakened beforehand.

Syclant is best used when complemented with teammates that can take advantage of its ability to force in and freely use U-turn on Rotom-H. Because of this, wallbreakers such as Terrakion, Pajantom, and Hydreigon make for fantastic teammates. Syclant also pairs well with teammates such as Kyurem and Conkeldurr that appreciate its ability to use U-turn on its other checks, such as Toxapex and Arghonaut, as this gives them many more opportunities to safely come into play.

When used with a Choice Band, Syclant becomes an extremely strong wallbreaker and pivot by virtue of its powerful STAB U-turns and signature ability, Mountaineer, which allows it to come into play often without being worn down. Be more specific. Mountaineer doesn't provide Syclant with an immunity to entry hazards, just Stealth Rock, which is an easy enough detail to miss otherwise with the way you've worded it. Icicle Crash offers Syclant an excellent Ice-type STAB which allows it to pressure the likes of Clefable and Seismitoad. Earthquake is mandatory as it gives Syclant the ability to break through the metagame's common Poison-types in Toxapex and Mollux, which otherwise would completely wall it. Ice Shard further enhances Syclant's ability to act as a revenge killer, as it enables it to pick off Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Hydreigon and Dragapult, provided they are slightly weakened beforehand. You should switch the mentions of Choice Scarf Hydreigon and Dragapult around. Right now, it's implied that Dragapult without a Choice Scarf isn't a target of Ice Shard.

Scylant is best used when complemented with teammates which can abuse its ability to force in Rotom-H and U-turn on it freely. Because of this, wallbreakers such as Terrakion, Pajantom, and Hydreigon, which can take advantage of Rotom-H, make for fantastic teammates. Syclant also greatly appreciates teammates such as Kyurem and Conkeldurr, which can break through some of its better checks, such as Toxapex and Arghonaut. It's definitely important to mention the synergy with U-turn here as well.

Icicle Crash offers Syclant an excellent Ice-type STAB which allows it to pressure the likes of Clefable and Seismitoad I kinda like the idea of putting Tomohawk here since balance teams without argho generally deal with Syclant by using pex + hawk. Earthquake is mandatory as it gives Syclant the ability to break through the metagame's common Poison-types in Toxapex and Mollux, which otherwise would completely wall it. Ice Shard further enhances Syclant's ability to act as a revenge killer, as it enables it to pick off Pokemon such as Dragapult and Choice Scarf Hydreigon provided they are slightly weakened beforehand. add in Necturna to the list of things that it can RK

Because of this, wallbreakers such as Terrakion, Pajantom, and Hydreigon, which can take advantage of Rotom-H this feels redundant with the previous sentence ;;, make for fantastic teammates.

When used with a Choice Band, Syclant becomes an extremely strong wallbreaker and pivot by virtue of its powerful STAB U-turns and signature ability, (RC) Mountaineer, which allows it to ignore Stealth Rock and come into play often, as it allows Syclant to ignore Stealth Rock (flow + rep). Icicle Crash offers Syclant an excellent Ice-type STAB which allows it Syclant to pressure the likes of Clefable, Tomohawk, and Seismitoad. Earthquake is mandatory, (AC) as it gives Syclant the ability to break through the metagame's common Poison-types in Toxapex and Mollux, which otherwise would completely wall it Syclant (it = EQ; you can also say "this set" if you dislike the repetition). Ice Shard further enhances Syclant's ability to act as a revenge killer, as it and (inconsistent "it") enables it to pick off Pokemon such as Dragapult, Necturna, and Choice Scarf Hydreigon, (AC) provided they are slightly weakened beforehand.

("it" is fine, focus has definitely shifted to Syclant) Ice Shard further enhances Syclant's ability to act as a revenge killer, as it and (inconsistent "it") (here too, do "enabling" if anything) enables it to pick off Pokemon such as Dragapult, Necturna, and Choice Scarf Hydreigon, (AC) provided they are slightly weakened beforehand.

Scylant Syclant is best used when complemented with teammates which that can abuse take advantage of its ability to force in and freely use U-turn on Rotom-H and U-turn on it freely (inconsistent "it"). (prefer the change but this it wasn't technically incorrect either) Because of this, wallbreakers such as Terrakion, Pajantom, and Hydreigon make for fantastic teammates. Syclant also pairs well with teammates such as Kyurem and Conkeldurr, which that (either works tbh) appreciate Syclant's its ability to use U-turn on its other checks, such as Toxapex and Arghonaut, as this gives them many more opportunities to safely come into play.
