Being the fastest Prankster Pokemon in the game with a deep supportive movepool, Whimsicott establishes itself as one of the best utility Pokemon in the current metagame. Prankster allows Whimsicott to have a priority Tailwind, allowing it to boost its team's Speed against faster restricted Pokemon such as Zacian-C and Calyrex-S, while gen 8’s dynamic speed mechanics make Tailwind users like Whimsicott very potent. Moonblast is able to deal good damage to Fairy-weak Pokemon such as Urshifu-S. Taunt allows Whimsicott to prevent Trick Room from Porygon2 and Mimikyu as well as Venusaur's Sleep Powder, Amoonguss's Spore, and Rotom-H's Will-O-Wisp. Helping Hand allows Whimsicott to still play a supportive role while facing common Fake Out Pokemon like Incineroar and Rillaboom while also making up for Whimsicott's lack of offensive presence. Focus Sash allows Whimsicott to take a move which it wouldn't be able to. Alternatively, the combination of Switcheroo and Eject Button can be run to get rid of your opponent's Dynamax if properly timed.

Whimsicott usually plays a supportive role on the team enabling common partners like Calyrex-S, Thundurus,and Charizard to excel with its supportive moves. Whimsicott is able to provide Tailwind and Cotton Spore for Calyrex-S while also keeping Dark-types such as Urshifu-S in check. Thundurus is able to take care of Incineroar for Whimsicott while Whimscott provides Helping Hand. Charizard and Whimsicott synergize well due to Whimsicott providing Charizard with Sunny Day and Fake Tears while Charizard keeps Zacian-C in check for Whimsicott.

Whimsicott is a very versatile Pokemon thanks to its great ability and movepool. Being the fastest Prankster Pokemon in the game with a deep supportive movepool, Whimsicott establishes itself as one of the best utility Pokemon in the current metagame. (I reworded and expanded this) Whimsicott has the fastest tailwind in the whole metagame, allowing it to boost its partners speed. (This is wrong. Talonflame does. I would say "Prankster allows Whimsicott to have a priority Tailwind, allowing it to boost its team's Speed." then talk about the significance of dynamic Speed tiers) Moonblast is able to check common dark and fighting type deal good damage to Fairy-weak Pokemon such as Urshifu-R and Urshifu-S. Taunt allows Whimsicott to prevent Trick Room (Add examples of what will want to set it) and Status moves such as as well as Venusaur's Sleep Powder, Amoonguss's Spore, and Will-O-Wisp from Rotom-H's Will-O-Wisp. Helping Hand allows Whimsicott to still play a supportive role while facing common Fake Out Pokemon like Incineroar and Rillaboom thanks to Helping Hand's priority (Yes and the fact it doesn't really have the best offensive presence). Focus Sash allows Whimsicott to live a Max Move which it wouldn't be able to. Alternatively, you can run Switcheroo and Eject Button can be run with a fast Pokemon like Regieleki or Calyrex-S (Doesn't have to be fast) to get rid of your opponents Dynamax. (I think a Sunny Day mention can be included if being used next to Charizard)

Whimsicott usually plays a supprotive role on the team enabling common partners like Calyrex-S, Thundurus and Charizard to excel with its supportive moves. Whimsicott is able to provide Tailwind, Helping Hand and Cotton Spore for Calyrex-S while also keeping Dark-types (AH) such as Urshifu-S in check. Charizard and Whimsicott synergise pretty well due to Whimsicott providing Charizard with Sunny Day, Fake Tears, and Tailwind. Feels a bit minimal here in a way, I think mentioning things that deal with Incineroar and Zacian-C would be nice as they're major problems for Whimsicott.

Being the fastest Prankster Pokemon in the game with a deep supportive movepool, Whimsicott establishes itself as one of the best utility Pokemon in the current metagame. Prankster allows Whimsicott to have a priority Tailwind, allowing it to boost its team's Speed (I feel a brief mention of why the priority is good i.e. Whimsicott's bulk absolutely sucks and going first against the likes of Zacian-C and Calyrex-S is amazing. Also mention dynamic speed tiers). Moonblast is able to deal good damage to Fairy-weak Pokemon such as Urshifu-R and Urshifu-S. Taunt allows Whimsicott to prevent Trick Room from Porygon2 and Mimikyu as well as Venusaur's Sleep Powder, Amoonguss's Spore, and Rotom-H's Will-O-Wisp. Encore is able to punish Substitute, Trick Room and Status moves from your opponent. Helping Hand allows Whimsicott to still play a supportive role while facing common Fake Out Pokemon like Incineroar and Rillaboom, (AC) while also making up for Whimsicott's lack of offensive presence. thanks to Helping Hand's priority. Focus Sash allows Whimsicott to live a Max Move which it wouldn't be able to (not just Max Moves, basically everything super effective.). Alternatively, Switcheroo and Eject Button can be run to get rid of your opponents Dynamax (In an ideal world, yes. But that requires good timing, and I think that it's worth mentioning that).

Whimsicott usually plays a supprotive role on the team enabling common partners like Calyrex-S, Thundurus and Charizard to excel with its supportive moves. Whimsicott is able to provide Tailwind and Cotton Spore for Calyrex-S while also keeping Dark-types such as Urshifu-S in check. Thundurus is able to take care of Incineroar for Whimsicott while Whimscott provides Helping Hand. Charizard and Whimsicott synergise pretty well due to Whimsicott providing Charizard with Sunny Day and Fake Tears while Charizard keeps Zacian-C in check for Whimsicott.

Implement this, and let me recheck and we should be close to stamping this.

Prankster allows Whimsicott to have a priority Tailwind, allowing it to boost its team's Speed against faster restricted Restricted Pokemon such as Zacian-C and Calyrex-S, tailwind at the start of the turn will influence who moves first while gen 8’s dynamic speed mechanics making tailwind make Tailwind users like Whimsicott very potent in this gen. Moonblast is able to deal good damage to Fairy-weak Pokemon such as Urshifu-R and Urshifu-S(maybe make one of these a different pokemon, having the examples be the two urshifu’s looks a bit stale). Taunt allows Whimsicott to prevent Trick Room from Porygon2 and Mimikyu as well as Venusaur's Sleep Powder, Amoonguss's Spore, and Rotom-H's Will-O-Wisp.
