[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Unfezant is one of NU's notable revenge killers, outspeeding all relevant unboosted Pokemon in the metagame. This allows it to threaten previously faster threats such as Rapidash, Silvally formes, Choice Scarf Indeedee-F, and Choice Scarf Toxicroak. U-turn allows Unfezant to pivot from unfavorable matchups and reestablish momentum. Defog provides Unfezant with the ability to remove entry hazards, increasing the longevity of both itself and its teammates. The fourth moveslot is flexible. Facade allows Unfezant to take advantage of status such as Toxic poison from Wishiwashi and Clefairy while serving as its best method of damaging Rotom-F, Rotom-S, and Lanturn. Tailwind can be employed as a utility option, providing Speed support for Unfezant's teammates. Roost is also a capable option, allotting Unfezant a reliable source of recovery to help it remain healthy to pressure opposing Pokemon.

Bulky Ground-types like Sandaconda, Piloswine, and Galarian Stunfisk can limit Unfezant's effectiveness due to their access to coverage options, status, and, in Piloswine's case, priority; Water-types such as Silvally-Water and Wishiwashi provide a check to these Ground-types. In turn, they appreciate Unfezant's ability to threaten opposing Grass-types like Eldegoss and Gourgeist-S. Electric-types, especially Togedemaru, resist Unfezant's moves and are capable of exploiting its poor defenses. Dragon-types such as Drampa and Silvally-Dragon and Ground-types such as Sandaconda and Golurk help alleviate this issue. Entry hazard removal from the likes of Silvally-Water, Skuntank, and Rotom-F is appreciated, allowing Unfezant to ignore its weakness to Stealth Rock and safely switch into battle.

Boasting a high Attack and Speed stat, Unfezant serves as a powerful offensive presence that threatens NU's various Fighting- and Grass-types such as Toxicroak, Sawk, Eldegoss, and Gourgeist-S. Unfezant's capabilities as an offensive pivot are strengthened by its access to U-turn, allowing it to reestablish momentum and Heavy-Duty Boots, granting it an immunity to Stealth Rock. Roost provides a method of reliable recovery and heals off recoil from Brave Bird. Defog bolsters Unfezant's utility, allowing it to function as a capable form of entry hazard removal.

Special wallbreakers such as Choice Specs Indeedee-F and Abomasnow are good partners for Unfezant, able to take advantage of U-turn to safely switch into battle and hit physical walls like Piloswine and Garbodor. Unfezant's weakness to Electric-types can be alleviated by pairing it with Ground-types such as Golurk, Piloswine, and Sandaconda. Fire-types like Silvally-Fire and Rapidash and Fighting-types like Sawk and Toxicroak can support Unfezant by removing Steel-types like Perrserker, Togedemaru, and Galarian Stunfisk that resist all of Unfezant's moves. Electric-types like Rotom-F, Rotom-S, and Lanturn complement Unfezant by forming an amazing VoltTurn core. Finally, Spikes support from the likes of Garbodor and Ferroseed is appreciated, wearing down grounded checks to Unfezant like Togedemaru and Galarian Stunfisk.

Choice Scarf Unfezant presents itself as one of NU's notable revenge killer killers, outspeeding all unboosted Pokemon in the metagame barring Ninjask (most Ninjask invest heavily in HP, so you actually do outspeed it prior to Speed Boost activation). This allows it to threaten previously faster threats such as Galarian Mr. Mime, Rapidash, Silvally formes(RH), and Choice Scarf Indeedee-F. U-turn allows Unfezant to pivot away from unfavorable matchups and re-establish momentum. Defog provides Unfezant with the ability to remove hazards, increasing the longevity of both itself and its teammates. The fourth moveslot is flexible. Facade allows Unfezant to absorb status (maybe give some examples here of when you'd be looking to do so) while serving as Unfezant's best method of damaging Rotom-Frost, Rotom-Fan Rotom-F, Rotom-S, and Lanturn. Tailwind can be employed as an utility option, providing speed support for Unfezant's teammates. Roost is also a capable option, allotting Unfezant a reliable source of recovery to help it remain healthy to pressure opposing Pokemon. (its other abilities suck, but a mention about Super Luck helping Unfezant cheese past certain switch-ins would be nice I think)

Unfezant struggles to break through bulky Ground-types like Sandaconda, Piloswine, and Galarian Stunfisk (well, because of Super Luck Unfezant can actually bypass the former two. perhaps change the phrasing there because it still has to worry about Stone Edge/Glare from Sandaconda and Ice Shard/Icicle Crash from Piloswine); Water-types such as Silvally-Water and Wishiwashi provide a check to these Ground-types. In turn, they appreciate Unfezant's ability to threaten opposing Grass-types like Eldgeoss Eldegoss and Gourgeist-S. Electric-types, especially Togedemaru, resist Unfezant's moves and are capable of exploiting its poor defenses. Dragon-types such as Drampa and Silvally-Dragon and Ground-types such as Sandaconda and Golurk help alleviate this issue. Hazard removal from the likes of Silvally-Water, Skuntank, and Rotom-Frost Rotom-F is appreciated, allowing Unfezant to ignore its weakness to Stealth Rock and safely switch into battle.

Boasting a high Attack and Speed stat, Unfezant serves as a powerful offensive presence that threatens NU's various Fighting- (RC) and Grass-types such as Toxicroak, Sawk, Eldegoss, and Gourgeist-S. U-turn establishes momentum by allowing Unfezant to switch from an opposing check or counter while also super effectively hitting the likes of Malamar and Silvally-Dark (not really sure if this last part is worth mentioning in general, but Silvally-Dark is definitely not a mention worth including regardless because it's faster and smacks the shit out of Unfezant with Multi-Attack). Roost provides a method of reliable recovery and heal off recoil from Brave Bird. Defog is chosen as the last move to provide Unfezant with a utility option to remove entry hazards (eh, I think the explanation as to why Defog fits on this set could use some reworking). Heavy-Duty Boots is the preferred item of choice, giving Unfezant an immunity to residual damage from Stealth Rock and allowing it to pivot into battle multiple times. (Super Luck mention per above reasoning)

Wallbreakers such as Choice Specs Indeedee-F and Abomasnow are good partners for Unfezant, able to take advantage of U-turn to safely switch into battle. Unfezant's weakness to Electric-types can be alleviated by pairing it with Ground-types such as Golurk, Piloswine, and Sandaconda. Fire-types like Silvally-Fire and Rapidash and Fighting-types like Sawk and Toxicroak can support Unfezant by removing Steel-types like Perrserker, Togedamaru Togedemaru, and Galarian Stunfisk that resist all of Unfezant's moves. Electric-types like Rotom-Frost, Rotom-Fan Rotom-F, Rotom-S, and Lanturn complement Unfezant by forming an amazing VoltTurn core. Finally, Spikes support from the likes of Garbordor Garbodor and Ferroseed is appreciated, wearing down grounded checks to Unfezant like Togedamaru Togedemaru and Galarian Stunfisk.

This allows it to threaten previously faster threats such as Galarian Mr. Mime, Rapidash, Silvally formes, and Choice Scarf Indeedee-F (mime is too lowely ranked, and try to expand the scarf indeedee point to mention that it outspeeds slower scarfers like indeedee and toxicroak). U-turn allows Unfezant to pivot away from unfavorable matchups and re-establish momentum. Defog provides Unfezant with the ability to remove hazards, increasing the longevity of both itself and its teammates. The fourth moveslot is flexible. Facade allows Unfezant to absorb take advantage of status such as Toxic from Wishiwashi and Silvally-Water Clefairy while serving as Unfezant's best method of damaging Rotom-F, Rotom-S, and Lanturn (absorb can be misleading as its still affected by status, and clef runs toxic more than silv). Tailwind can be employed as an utility option, providing speed support for Unfezant's teammates. Roost is also a capable option, allotting Unfezant a reliable source of recovery to help it remain healthy to pressure opposing Pokemon. Super Luck increases Unfezant's critical hit ratio, allowing it to potentially bypass some of its checks. (Fluff, considering its a marginal increase and theres no need justifying it over its other situational abilities)

Bulky Ground-types like Sandaconda, Piloswine, and Galarian Stunfisk can limit Unfezant's effectiveness due to their access to coverage options, status, and in respect to Piloswine, priority; Water-types such as Silvally-Water and Wishiwashi provide a check to these Ground-types.
