[OVERVIEW]
In the Overview, you want to generalize what the Pokemon in question accomplishes in the metagame and where it stands. You will also want to cover its drawbacks and anything else that may hold it back. This should be a pretty basic recap of the Pokemon; the Overview typically does not need to be much longer than seven or eight sentences, though of course this varies from Pokemon to Pokemon and compromises can be made.

[SET COMMENTS]
Set Details
====
The Set Comments section will often consist of two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you should go over the specifics of this set. What are the purposes of the moves, item, ability, and nature + EVs? There is no need to talk about basic STAB moves, useless abilities, or simple EV spreads like 252 / 4 / 252.
In the second paragraph, you should talk about potential teammates and what makes them useful. Cover Pokemon that can patch up the analyzed Pokemon's weakness and mention Pokemon that benefit from the analyzed Pokemon's presence.
Quiver Dance makes Oricorio-P a threatening setup sweeper by boosting its power, speed, and bulk all at once. Air Slash is Oricorio-P's most consistent Flying-type STAB and can be run as the sole attack thanks to its lack of immunities. Taunt shuts down a wide array of counterplay options for opposing walls, including phasing moves like Vaporeon's Roar or Copperajah's Whirlwind. It is also beneficial in stopping opposing Pokemon boosting their stats alongside Oricorio-P, enabling it to easily beat the likes of Calm Mind Sylveon and Calm Mind + Iron Defense Bronzong. Although Revelation Dance does not offer much to Oricorio-P by default, its ability to change type when Terastallized can be used to surprise an opponent with unexpected coverage. For example, with Tera Water or Ground, Revelation Dance can flip the type matchup against would-be counters such as Diancie, Rhyperior, and Toxtricity and hit them for super-effective damage. Oricorio-P typically uses a Defense-boosting item such as Grassy Seed or Kee Berry in order to increase its physical bulk, which can help it snowball out of control alongside special defense boosts from Quiver Dance. An EV spread of 252 HP / 208 Def / 48 Spe with a Timid nature is used to maximize Oricorio-P's physical bulk while outspeeding Choice Scarf Munkidori at +2.

Other Options
====
In the Other Options paragraph, you can note any other options that are useable yet not considered viable enough to be mentioned in the Set Comments. If there are none, feel free to keep this empty. Trying to fill this paragraph with bad options for the sake of it is detrimental to the user reading the analysis's experience.
Checks and Counters
====
**Rock-Types**: Rock-type Pokemon like Diancie and Rhyperior are able to shrug off damage from Air Slash and threaten Oricorio-P with powerful STAB Diamond Storm and Stone Edge, respectively. Furthermore, they commonly carry coverage moves that hit Tera Steel Oricorio-P like Body Press and Earthquake.
**Steel-Types**: Copperajah, Klefki, Bronzong?
**Special Wallbreakers**: Toxtricity, Munkidori?
