[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott is a great speed control option due to its ability to compress a number of roles in one slot. It can revenge kill faster Pokemon, such as Cinderace and Dragapult while simultaneously setting up Spikes with Ceaseless Edge or pivoting into other teammates with Flip Turn. Razor Shell can make Hisuian Samurott more difficult to respond to due to its high chance to lower the enemy's Defense. However, Aqua Cutter can be used instead, as it is more accurate and does not make contact; this is useful against targets such as Rocky Helmet Landorus-T and Flame Body Volcarona. Knock Off complements Ceaseless Edge by removing items such as Rocky Helmet and Heavy-Duty Boots, making it more rewarding for Hisuian Samurott to use Ceaseless Edge later. Flip Turn allows Hisuian Samurott to pivot out of bad matchups against Clefable and Primarina while also dealing chip damage and generating momentum. However, Sacred Sword can be used to revenge kill various threats such as Kingambit, other Hisuian Samurott, and Kyurem. Hisuian Samurott is a mediocre Terastallization user, as its base typing is important to check threats such as Gholdengo, and its partners will usually benefit from Terastallization more. Nonetheless, Hisuian Samurott can benefit from the damage increase that either Tera Water or Tera Dark provide to revenge kill a wider pool of Pokemon. Tera Water is useful to revenge kill offensive Great Tusk and Landorus-T more reliably, while Tera Dark allows Hisuian Samurott to OHKO defensive Galarian Slowking and Latias with Ceaseless Edge after Stealth Rock damage. Tera Ghost is another worthwhile consideration, as it allows Hisuian Samurott to block Rapid Spin from Great Tusk and Iron Treads.

Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott best fits on bulky offense teams, as it provides a great deal of utility between its defensive profile, ability to set up Spikes, Knock Off, and pivoting capabilities. Landorus-T is the perfect partner; it can form a potent pivoting core with Hisuian Samurott and provide Stealth Rock support while simultaneously benefiting from Hisuian Samurott's Spikes due to its ability to force switches with Intimidate and Rocky Helmet. Hisuian Samurott has a difficult time maintaining Spikes against entry hazard removers such as Corviknight and Great Tusk, as well as struggling against Fighting-types such as Zamazenta. Dragapult is thus a fantastic teammate. It matches up well against common switch-ins to Hisuian Samurott such as Corviknight and Skarmory and can block Rapid Spin from Great Tusk. Air Balloon Gholdengo is also an excellent partner, as it can prevent Defog from Corviknight, safely prevent Rapid Spin attempts from Great Tusk and Iron Treads, and check Fighting-types such as Zamazenta and Iron Valiant. In turn, Hisuian Samurott's Ceaseless Edge support makes Dragapult and Gholdengo more difficult to switch into due to wearing down their switch-ins such as Kingambit and Ting-Lu. Sweepers such as Iron Valiant, Gouging Fire, and Kingambit appreciate Hisuian Samurott's ability to lay down Spikes, as it makes it easier for them to clean late-game and break through checks such as Hatterene and Great Tusk. Future Sight support from Galarian Slowking is beneficial, as it makes it more difficult for Pokemon like Zamazenta and Iron Valiant to switch into Ceaseless Edge. Hisuian Samurott itself is quite vulnerable to being worn down by hazards, so anti-entry hazard support from Hatterene or Great Tusk is appreciated. While Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott is relatively fast, it is still prone to being outsped by various setup sweepers such as a boosted Volcarona, Iron Valiant, and Iron Boulder. Priority support from Rillaboom or Dragonite is therefore recommended to have additional insurance against these threats.

Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott is a great speed control option due to its ability to compress a number of roles in one slot. It can revenge kill faster Pokemon, such as Cinderace and Dragapult, while simultaneously setting up Spikes with Ceaseless Edge, removing items with Knock Off, or pivoting into other teammates with Flip Turn. Razor Shell acts as powerful Water-type STAB that can make Hisuian Samurott more difficult to respond to due to its high chance to lower the enemy's defense. However, Aqua Cutter can be used instead, as it is more accurate and does not make contact; this is useful against targets such as Rocky Helmet Landorus-T or Flame Body Volcarona. Knock Off complements Ceaseless Edge by removing items such as Rocky Helmet or Heavy-Duty-Boots, making it more rewarding for Hisuian Samurott to use Ceaseless Edge later. Flip Turn is the preferred move in the last slot, as it allows Hisuian Samurott to pivot out of bad match-ups (In particular, this helps it pivot out on switch-ins and keep up offensive momentum while dealing damage). However, Sacred Sword can be used to revenge kill various threats such as Kingambit, other Hisuian Samurott, Kyurem, and Archaludon. Hisuian Samurott is a mediocre Terastallization user, as it will typically be used in the early game to lay down Spikes to set up other win conditions. (Somewhat true but not entirely necessary, you'll often want to save your Samu-H as speed control or to do more than just set hazards and die as this is not a lead set) Nonetheless, Hisuian Samurott can benefit from the damage increase that either Tera Water or Tera Dark provide to revenge kill Pokemon such as Ogerpon-W and Great Tusk more easily and clean late game. (Does either Tera help Samurott-H achieve any damage thresholds in particular? Could extend this section a little to talk about each Tera type individually and what each Tera allows you to do in more detail)

Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott best fits on bulky offense teams, as it provides a great deal of utility between its defensive profile, ability to set up Spikes, Knock Off, and pivoting capabilities. Landorus-T is the perfect partner; it can form a potent pivoting core with Hisuian Samurott and provide Stealth Rock support, while simultaneously benefiting from Hisuian Samurott's Spikes due to its ability to force switches with Intimidate. (Kinda? Intimidate isn't forcing switches by itself though it helps) Dragapult is a similarly fantastic teammate. It matches up well against common switch-ins to Hisuian Samurott such as Corviknight and Skarmory, and can block Rapid Spin from Great Tusk. In turn, Hisuian Samurott's Ceaseless Edge support makes Dragapult more difficult to switch into due to wearing down its checks such as Kingambit and Ting-Lu. Sweepers such as Iron Valiant and Kingambit appreciate Hisuian Samurott's ability to lay down Spikes, as it makes it easier for them to clean late-game and break through checks such as Galarian Slowking (Galarian Slowking runs boots so isn't worn down by Spikes) and Great Tusk, respectively. Hisuian Samurott has a difficult time dealing with hazard removers such as Corviknight and Mandibuzz (Mandi is C ranked in viability right now so might not be worth including), as well Fighting-Types such as Zamazenta and Iron Valiant. Thus Gholdengo is an excellent partner, as it can prevent Defog from Mandibuzz and Corviknight, as well as pivoting into fighting-types such as Zamazenta and Iron Valiant. (I'd consider moving this Gholdengo section to follow on from talking about Dragapult, as this should be in an approximate order of how good pairings they are with Samu-H and you can lead into it by calling it another spinblocker with the ability to block Defog and defensive qualities against these Fighting-types) Future Sight support from either Galarian Slowking or Iron Crown (Iron Crown is also low viability / pretty niche and both of our current dex sets are setup without FSight) is also beneficial, as it makes it more difficult for Zamazenta and Iron Valiant to switch into Ceaseless Edge. Hisuian Samurott itself is quite vulnerable to being worn down by hazards, so anti-entry hazard support from Hatterene, Cinderace, (You typically wouldn't want Cinderace with Samu-H as you're setting your own Spikes) or Great Tusk is appreciated.

Hisuian Samurott has a difficult time maintaining Spikes against hazard removers such as Corviknight and Great Tusk, as well Fighting-Types such as Zamazenta. Dragapult is thus a fantastic teammate. It matches up well against common switch-ins to Hisuian Samurott such as Corviknight and Skarmory, and can block Rapid Spin from Great Tusk. Gholdengo is also an excellent partner, as it can prevent Defog from Corviknight (its also good into rapid spin, esp with balloon), as well as check Fighting-types such as Zamazenta and Iron Valiant. In turn, Hisuian Samurott's Ceaseless Edge support makes Dragapult and Gholdengo more difficult to switch into due to wearing down their switch-ins such as Kingambit and Ting-Lu. Sweepers such as Iron Valiant and Kingambit (add another mon here. maybe smth like gfire idk) appreciate Hisuian Samurott's ability to lay down Spikes, as it makes it easier for them to clean late-game and break through checks such as Hatterene and Great Tusk, respectively. Future Sight support from Galarian Slowking is beneficial, as it makes it more difficult for Pokemon like Zamazenta and Iron Valiant to switch into Ceaseless Edge. Hisuian Samurott itself is quite vulnerable to being worn down by hazards, so anti-entry hazard support from Hatterene or Great Tusk is appreciated. (could be worth saying that even with scarf, its outsped by a lot of things like deo boulder etc., so stuff like uh, prio users such as rilla synergize well. also hamu is prone to being choice locked meaning it can either ceaseless or click move but not both. so it has some bad mus into mons like oger cuz of wa / cant effectively handle ting and things like that. dont have to mention everything ofc but just think about it a bit and add what u want)

Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott is a great speed control option due to its ability to compress a number of roles in one slot. It can revenge kill faster Pokemon, such as Cinderace and Dragapult, while simultaneously setting up Spikes with Ceaseless Edge, removing items with Knock Off, or pivoting into other teammates with Flip Turn. Razor Shell acts as powerful Water-type STAB that can make Hisuian Samurott more difficult to respond to due to its high chance to lower the enemy'senemies defense. However, Aqua Cutter can be used instead, as it is more accurate and does not make contact; this is useful against targets such as Rocky Helmet Landorus-T or Flame Body Volcarona. Knock Off complements Ceaseless Edge by removing items such as Rocky Helmet or Heavy-Duty BootsHeavy-Duty-Boots, making it more rewarding for Hisuian Samurott to use Ceaseless Edge later. Flip Turn is the preferred move in the last slot, as it allows Hisuian Samurott to pivot out of bad match-ups against Clefable and Primarina while also dealing chip damage and generating momentum. However, Sacred Sword can be used to revenge kill various threats such as Kingambit, other Hisuian Samurott, and Kyurem. Hisuian Samurott is a mediocre Terastallization user, as its base typing is important to check threats such as Gholdengo and its partners will usually benefit from Terastallization more. Nonetheless, Hisuian Samurott can benefit from the damage increase that either Tera Water or Tera Dark provide to revenge kill a wider pool of Pokemon. Tera Water is useful to OHKO offensive Great Tusk and Landorus-T more reliably, while Tera Dark allows Hisuian Samurott to OHKO defensive Galarian Slowking and Latias with Ceaseless Edge after Stealth Rock damage. Tera Ghost is another worthwhile consideration, as it allows Hisuian Samurott to block Rapid Spin from Great Tusk and Iron Treads.

Priority support from Rillaboom or Dragonite is therefore recommended to have additional insurance against these threats.

It can revenge kill faster Pokemon, such as Cinderace and Dragapult (RC) while simultaneously setting up Spikes with Ceaseless Edge, removing items with Knock Off, or pivoting into other teammates with Flip Turn.

enemy'senemies

The original was correct here. ‘s shows possessiveness, basically that something belongs to another thing. In this case, the enemy’s Defense (capitalise stats!) is the Defense belonging to the enemy. Enemies, as you changed it to, is the plural version of enemy, which means two or more enemies. The original is referring to a singular enemy. This reason is also why sentences in your analyses like “Weaviles excellent wallbreaking capabilities” changed to “Weavile’s excellent wallbreaking capabilities” because the wallbreaking capabilities belong to Weavile.

Iron Valiant, Gouging Fire, and Kingambit appreciate Hisuian Samurott's ability to lay down Spikes, as it makes it easier for them to clean late-game and break through checks such as Hatterene and Great Tusk, respectively. Respectively can't be used here because it is unclear whether Gouging Fire is checked by Hatterene or Great Tusk, there needs to be an equal number of examples for respectively to be correct.

This is correct, but remember you’re doing a GP check where you directly change grammar issues and not a QC check where you highlight whole chunks of text. Just removing respectively is fine.
