Togekiss @ Babiri Berry
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Air Slash
- Flamethrower
- Roost

Togekiss can hit several UU staples, such as Infernape and Kommo-o, with its powerful STAB Air Slash especially when boosted, which is even more useful due to the small number of Flying-resistant Pokemon available. Its typing is also extremely beneficial, enabling it to switch into top-tier threats such as Hydreigon and Hippowdon over the course of a match. This set can lure in common Steel-types, particularly Scizor, survive a hit from them due to Babiri Berry, and KO them in return with Flamethrower or use the turn to boost with Nasty Plot to deal with slower, bulkier Steel-types like Mega Aggron. Due to Togekiss's ability to lure in and remove several Steel-types, it pairs well with Dragon-type sweepers like Latias, which are able to use their STAB moves more freely as a result. This set is reliant on an item to survive a hit, so it lacks passive recovery and as such can be worn down quickly; this can be alleviated by entry hazard removers such as Empoleon and Tentacruel helping Togekiss switch in more easily without being chipped. Togekiss also struggles to deal with Rock-type Pokemon like Nihilego, so pairing it with a solid Ground-type such as Krookodile can help break through them.

This looks great overall. You have a little more room for info to fit, though, so I'd write a little about how its typing allows it to switch into some tier staples, like Hydreigon and Hippowdon, to begin doing its job. If you want you could also give some examples of Pokemon that can alleviate this set's weakness to a lot of Rock-types, specifically Nihilego and Mega Aerodactyl.

Great work Martha! Fun read :) QC 1/1

this was a little bit over 1200 so i did my best to do some minor optimizations. Otherwise, great grammar, as expected!
