Type: Null's great bulk, which is further bolstered by Eviolite, and access to U-turn make it an incredible pivot able to switch into some of the premier special threats in the tier, like Mr. Rime and Lilligant. U-turn allows Type: Null to pivot out of unfavorable matchups and, thanks to its low Speed, bring a teammate in safely. While Toxic allows Type: Null to cripple Pokemon that try to take advantage of it like Crustle, Stunfisk, and Gourgeist, Crush Claw provides Type: Null with a STAB move that makes it considerably less passive and allows it to beat threats it otherwise wouldn't beat, like Calm Mind Galarian Rapidash. Rest allows it to stay healthy throughout the game and act as a status absorber, while Sleep Talk prevents it from being overly passive when sleeping, although it can be unreliable. Shadow Claw is an option over Toxic or Sleep Talk, as it allows Type: Null to beat Substitute + Calm Mind Drifblim.

Answers to Fighting-types, like Drifblim, Qwilfish, and Gourgeist-XL are vital partners, as they can switch into threats like Throh and Falinks that Type: Null struggles against. Drifblim also gets rid of entry hazards, which Type: Null greatly appreciates due to its lack of passive recovery, while Qwilfish sets Spikes and Toxic Spikes. In exchange, Type: Null acts as a reliable switch-in to Pokemon they're threatened by, like Appletun, Beheeyem, and Mr. Rime. Knock Off absorbers, along with Pokemon that can switch into Trick and Switcheroo, are appreciated, since Type: Null needs its item to do its job reliably. Pokemon holding a Rocky Helmet, such as Stunfisk and Runigerus, make for great switch-ins to Knock Off users like Mawile; they can also switch into threats like Perrserker and Silvally-Rock that threaten Type: Null, while they appreciate the latter's ability to switch into Ice-, Grass-, and Water-types. Teammates holding a Choice item like Unfezant and Gourgeist also work, as they can switch into Pokemon with Trick and Switcheroo like Choice Scarf Mr. Mime and Manectric, while they can also revenge kill Pokemon that can overwhelm Type: Null, like Throh. Gourgeist, in particular, can also cripple Pokemon like Calm Mind Musharna and Cosmic Power Gothitelle that Type: Null struggles against with Trick. Strong physical attackers like Swords Dance Drednaw and Choice Band Gourgeist-XL can easily overwhelm Type: Null; this makes answers to these, like Tangela and itemless Appletun, great options. They all appreciate Type: Null dealing with special attackers such as Lilligant they struggle against, while they can aid Type: Null in checking Electric-types such as Boltund for Tangela and Manectric in Gourgeist-XL's case. Frailer or slower threats appreciate Type: Null bringing them in safely against Pokemon like Dusknoir, Klinklang, and Stunfisk via U-turn. Choice Band Morpeko, Flame Orb Throh, and Choice Specs Golduck are prime examples, with the former being able to deal with Substitute Calm Mind Drifblim. Lastly, clerics such as Vespiquen and Togetic are appreciated, as Type: Null's reliance on Rest means it can be taken advantage of as well as overwhelmed. They also check Fighting-types like Hitmonchan and appreciate Type: Null dealing with Ice-types like Glaceon.

Type: Null's great bulk, ability to hold an Eviolite say it has excellent bulk that is further boosted by Eviolite, and access to U-turn make it an incredible pivot able to switch into some of the premier special threats in the tier, like Mr. Rime and Nasty Plot Gourgeist. U-turn allows Type: Null to pivot out of unfavourable matchups, and, thanks to its low Speed, allows a teammate to get in safely. While Toxic allows Type: Null to cripple Pokemon that try to take advantage of it like Crustle, Stunfisk, and Gourgeist, Crush Claw provides Type: Null with a STAB move that makes it considerably less passive and allows it to beat threats it otherwise wouldn't beat, like Mawile not a fan of this, more often than not the threat of knock off/sd/rocky helmet chip makes u not want to stay in. roselia is a better example and opposing Type: Null.

you can add a line about resttalk and how it makes null good at doing what it does and how it lets it act as a reliable status absorber that can beat fat stuff with toxic etc etc

Answers to Fighting-types, like Vespiquen, Mareanie, and Gourgeist-XL are vital partners, as they can switch into threats like Throh, Falinks, and Hitmontop Type: Null struggles against. Vespiquen also gets rid of entry hazards, which Type: Null greatly appreciates due to its lack of passive recovery, while Mareanie sets Toxic Spikes. In exchange, Type: Null acts as a reliable switchin to Pokemon they're threatened by, like Mr. Rime, Raichu i don't like this example, raichu puts too much pressure on null, and Beheeyem. Knock Off absorbers, along with Pokemon that can switch into Trick and Switcheroo, are appreciated since Type: Null needs its item to do its job reliably. Silvally forms make for good options, with Silvally-Bug and Silvally-Psychic standing out due to their ability to switch into Fighting-types like Throh, with the former also acting as an answer to Pawniard. Teammates like Mr. Mime and Raichu holding a Choice item also work, as they can switch into Pokemon with Trick and Switcheroo like Choice Scarf Galarian Mr. Mime and Manectric. Strong physical attackers like Swords Dance Mawile and Choice Band Stonjourner can easily overwhelm Type: Null; this makes answers to these, like Palpitoad, Vibrava, and the aforementioned Mareanie excellent partners. They all appreciate Type: Null dealing with special attackers such as Nasty Plot Gourgeist they struggle against. their hazards go a long way in pressuring silvally formes, and vibrava is also a solid raichu answer Frailer or slower threats appreciate Type: Null bringing them in safely against Pokemon like Mareanie, Klang, and Hitmontop via U-turn. Choice Specs Glaceon, Flame Orb Throh, and Beheeyem are prime examples, with the latter also acting as an answer to Fighting-types. i'd like to see more focus on fast breakers in particular like basculin and raichu, as they can put pressure on silvally formes and klang and really appreciate slow u-turn.

mention stallbreakers like pawniard and trick mr. mime, stored power psychics can often take advantage of null and use it as setup fodder

this is full of good important info that i do not wish to cut out but it is quite long lol. try to condense the last paragraph by merging sentences and cutting down on clarifiers

Shadow Claw is an option over Toxic or Sleep Talk, as it allows Type: Null to beat Substitute Calm Mind Drifblim. Something about how although its a great spdef pivot, its easily overwhelmed by hazards and can be quite easily taken advantage of due to its passivity + sleep talk unreliability is probably worth mentioning in this overview.

Knock Off absorbers, along with Pokemon that can switch into Trick and Switcheroo, are appreciated since Type: Null needs its item to do its job reliably. Pokemon holding a Rocky Helmet, such as Stunfisk and Sandslash make for great options; be nice for the sake of clarity to specifically name drop one-two Knock Off users that they actually check for Null, eg. Mawile. they can also switch into threats like Lycanroc-M and Shift Gear Klinklang that threaten Type: Null, while they appreciate the latter's ability to switch into Ice-, Grass-, and Water-types. like Mr.Rime/Mime, Golduck etc Tbh you could also bring up some of these Pokemon as teammates too as wallbreakers that appreciate Type-null bringing them in safely with its slow u-turns, on stuff like Gourg, Blim, Stunfisk etc that they can force pressure against. Teammates like Unfezant and Gourgeist holding a Choice item also work, as they can switch into Pokemon with Trick and Switcheroo like Choice Scarf Galarian Mr. Mime and Manectric. Doesn't really feel like youd risk sending Unfezant directly in on either of these? Gourgeist can also cripple Pokemon like Calm Mind Musharna and Cosmic Power Gothitelle Type: Null struggles against with Trick. This point also feels like it ties in well into the general concept of how abusable type null is by being set up on stuff, as you also allude to in your next point, and earlier when talking about blim/NPgourg. You could certainly comment on how unfezant, and some other speed control options of your choosing like golduck or mime, are capable of providing a safety net against some of these abusers. Strong physical attackers like Swords Dance Drednaw and Choice Band Gourgeist-XL can easily overwhelm Type: Null; this makes answers to these, like Tangela and itemless Appletun where did this sentence go. They all appreciate Type: Null dealing with special attackers such as Lilligant they struggle against, while they can aid Type: Null in checking Electric-types like. Frailer or slower threats appreciate Type: Null bringing them in safely against Pokemon like Dusknoir, Klinklang, and Stunfisk via U-turn.

Frailer or slower threats appreciate Type: Null bringing them in safely against Pokemon like Dusknoir, Klinklang, and Stunfisk via U-turn. Choice Band Morkepo, Flame Orb Throh, and Beheeyem are prime examples maybe like Specs Golduck over Beheeyem, it doesnt deal with Klink that well and if it isnt itemless it's not too threatening, with the former being able to deal with Substitute Calm Mind Drifblim, while the latter also acts as an answer to Fighting-types like Hitmonchan. Cleric support could be a nice mention especially for non sleep talk variants and they can save null from having to rest if it catches an early Toxic or smth.

Teammates holding a Choice item like Unfezant and Gourgeist holding a Choice item (clarity that the primary focus is the item, not the Pokemon) also work well, as they can switch into Pokemon with that use (ambiguity) Trick and Switcheroo like Choice Scarf Mr. Mime and Manectric, while and they can also revenge kill Pokemon that can overwhelm Type: Null like Throh.

(You've already said that Choice users like Gourgeist can cripple Pokemon that Type: Null struggles with. If you just want to emphasize that Gourgeist is a really good Choice partner to use, you can delete this sentence entirely and do "Teammates holding a Choice item like Unfezant and especially Gourgeist make good partners" earlier.
